Alessia Russo will miss England's Nations League away game against Belgium.

Alessia Russo has been ruled out of England's Nations League match against Belgium in Leuven on Tuesday due to injury. Russo played 73 minutes in Friday night's 5-0 victory over the same opponents at Ashton Gate before being replaced due to a knock. The Football Association confirmed that Russo had returned to Arsenal for further evaluation. The 26-year-old attacker failed to score against Belgium, hitting the post twice. Michelle Agyemang, an England U19s standout who is presently on loan at Brighton from Arsenal, has been called up as a replacement in her professional debut. England has seven points from a possible nine in Nations League Group A3 ahead of their return match against Belgium on Tuesday.

Chelsea 1-2 Fulham: The Blues' ambitions of winning the Premier League are severely damaged.

Tonight, the Blues might trail Liverpool by seven points.

After losing to Fulham at home in the west London derby, Chelsea lost the opportunity to get closer to the top of the Premier League standings.

Cole Palmer's incredible strike in the first fifteen minutes of Boxing Day appeared to be the difference for a long time, but Enzo Maresca's team lost by giving up two goals in the last ten minutes, leaving them four points behind Liverpool.

The Italian strategist made only one change to the team that began the goalless draw away at Everton before Christmas, instantly recalling Marc Cucurella after his suspension to take Axel Disasi's spot in the Blues' defense.

Palmer delivered the only truly outstanding moment of the first half when he calmly stroked the ball into the back of the net after receiving it from Levi Colwill and squirming past a few defenders.

Cucurella should have extended the lead before halftime, but Bernd Leno saved his header. Palmer was then denied a goal by Calvin Bassey's outstanding block in the last action of the half.

Speaking of the Fulham goalie, he made a fantastic stop to block Enzo Fernandez's attempt at the start of the second half, and a few seconds later, Colwill's score was rightfully disallowed for offside.


The visitors gained confidence after that. Before Robert Sanchez hurried off his line to deny Antonee Robinson from close range, Alex Iwobi sent a warning shot that whistled just beyond the post.

Harry Wilson was able to redirect the ball into the net, so when Fulham did equalize, it was no more than they deserved.

And with seconds left, Rodrigo Muniz, another replacement, made a difference by remaining composed to finish the comeback and give Fulham their first victory at Stamford Bridge since 1979.

Thierry Henry was denied a joyful homecoming as France was defeated by gold medal winners Spain.

Exactly 36 years after Vinnie Jones, Dave Beasant, Lawrie Sanchez, and others ripped up the rulebook to propel Bobby Gould's Wimbledon to a storied FA Cup victory, Thierry Henry's France fell agonisingly short of capturing an emotional Olympic gold medal in front of a sold-out Parc des Princes in Paris. Henry, who gave his young French team the nickname the 'Crazy Ones' due to their fun-loving nature, won nearly everything as a player, and despite the stars appearing to align for a historic gold medal on home turf, the Arsenal legend was overshadowed by Santi Denia's slick Spaniards in a dramatic 5-3 extra-time defeat. Sergio Camello of Rayo Vallecano was their unexpected late nemesis, dunking French goalkeeper Guillaume Restes with 100 minutes on the clock to startle a stunned capacity crowd. And he delivered a virtual carbon copy of that finish with the game's final kick, charging in on goal as the French flung bodies forward to slot past Restes and cruelly ...
