No moves for Jude

Borussia Dortmund are yet to receive any proposals for their star midfielder Jude Bellingham.

That is according to the club's sporting director Sebastian Kehl, who insisted the 19-year-old England ace is only focused on helping his side seal the Bundesliga title this weekend.

Kehl said: "Unfortunately he couldn't join us against Augsburg because of his knee injury, but he's working hard at the moment — still individually — but he will be part of the team on Saturday because he's a big and very, very important part of the team in this season. 

"He showed so many great performances and I think to win a title for him is everything. I think he mentioned it already some weeks ago. He's completely committed to that club. 

"And of course, there are rumours all the time and media speculations all the time. But honestly, at the moment, [there is] nothing on the table, nothing what we can decide, nothing what we can talk about or negotiate."

Fly higher

Brighton chairman Tony Bloom saw his side seal Europa League qualification last night

Brighton chairman Tony Bloom says his Seagulls will continue to soar even if they lose key players this summer.

Roberto De Zerbi's side held Premier League champions Manchester City to a 1-1 draw last night, earning the point they required to seal Europa League football next season.

Bloom, 53, knows that such a fine campaign means offers for his stars are likely over the coming months but is not flustered by such a prospect.

He said: "We'll be able to compete on all levels next season, even if we lose a couple of our star players.

"That happens at almost every club. We don't worry about these things and as long as we get the right price for our players, they will sometimes go.

"That happens across the board, we're not at all worried about that and we look to come back stronger next season."

And on De Zerbi, who has impressed since replacing Graham Potter last September, he added: "He's doing things that no other head coaches have done. 

"Long may that continue and we look forward to seeing him in the Premier League and Europa League next season."

Sandy's sorrow

Sandy MacIver has ruled herself out of contention for England's Women's World Cup squad this summer.

The Manchester City keeper, 24, has one cap for her country so far and is the regular back-up to Lionesses No1 Mary Earps.

But injury had forced her to withdraw from Sarina Wiegman's Finalissima squad last month and now it has been confirmed the issue has also put paid to her summer dreams.

MacIver said: "I've taken the decision to make myself unavailable for England selection moving forward. 

"My current focus remains on my rehab. I am making great progress and look forward to a fully fit pre-season with City. 

"Wishing all the girls the best of luck in Australia!"

No fear

Rob Edwards will lead Luton out at Wembley this Saturday

Rob Edwards sees no reason why the occasion will get to his Luton players in Saturday's Championship play-off final.

The Hatters are one game away from an unlikely return to England's top tier for the first time since 1992, with Coventry their opponents at Wembley.

Edwards, who only joined the club last November having been sacked by their bitter rivals Watford two months earlier, is confident his side will not be overawed at the national stadium.

The 40-year-old explained: "Our away form was just as good as our home form and we'll have over 36,000 people behind us, so I feel we'll be supported even more than usual. 

"I know Coventry will have the same, but it will make for a great atmosphere and so far this season, the lads have really risen in those big games and big occasions — it's brought the best out of them.

"Last week was a good example of that. Watford here or Sheffield United away, they've done well in big games and hopefully one more we can perform in, in the biggest of them all."
