"We all knew that Kylian Mbappe would leave PSG. There are no changes, everything is the same for us. I wish Mbappe all the best.

Chelsea captain Reece James has returned to the London team after a serious injury and surgery. The Englishman was included in the Blues' squad for the match of the 37th round of the English Championship against Nottingham.

The 24-year-old has been out of action since 10 December, when he injured his knee ligaments in a match against Everton. This was James' seventh knee injury in the last three years. The defender healed another injury in early October and was out again in December. In autumn, he also missed a month and a half due to a knee ligament injury.

It will be recalled that Reece James is a graduate of the Chelsea Academy. This season, he has played in only nine matches for his team in all competitions, eight in the Premier League and one in the FA Cup.

Borussia Dortmund may find itself in a win-win situation regardless of the outcome of the Champions League final against Real Madrid.

According to the German newspaper Ruhr Nachrichten, the Bumblebees are going to receive a significant amount of money even if they lose the match at Wembley. Jude Bellingham's transfer agreement provides for bonuses if the Bumblebees win the Champions League this season.

Thus, if Bellingham lifts the trophy, Dortmund will receive another £4.3 million from Real Madrid. In addition, if the English star is included in the symbolic Champions League team, Borussia will receive another £1.7 million.

The losing finalist will receive £12.9 million, and together with the bonuses paid for the 20-year-old, a defeat at Wembley will bring the German club £19.3 million. That's more than the £17.2 million that the winner of the tournament will receive.

The most serious interest in the 34-year-old footballer was shown by St Louis and Inter Miami of the MLS, as well as Saudi Arabia's Al Nasr. Thus, Royce could become a teammate of Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo.

At the end of this season, Royce will leave Borussia Dortmund, for whom he has been playing since the summer of 2012. In the current campaign, Marco has scored eight goals and provided six assists in 39 matches for his club.

Former FIFA referee Miroslav Stupar has analysed the controversial moment that took place in the first half of the 28th round of the Ukrainian Premier League match between Shakhtar and Dynamo.

- While there are no questions about Shakhtar's penalty, it was a clean hand, the moment with Buyalsky was quite subtle. Neither the head referee Derevinsky nor the VAR referee Shurman paid attention to it. There was contact, but it is difficult to say whether it amounted to a violation.

Such moments are interpreted differently, depending on the chief referee. There is a long discussion here: was there a foul on Buyalsky or not? If Derevinsky had whistled a foul, there would have been no questions either, and then Shakhtar would not have had a penalty.

It all depends on how much the referee has raised the bar for the permissible fight. Some referees immediately blow the whistle, while others let the game go on. I have no questions about the refereeing in the first half. The game was lively, there were a lot of fouls.

Even by the emotions of the players we can see how charged they are, no one wants to lose. Pay attention: Shaparenko, who is not an athlete, plays hard to the end. This adds a zest to the game," Stupar toldUV.
