It seems quite remarkable when you think 16 days| remarkable when you think 16 days ago, jorge vilda was lifting the world cup and from the outside you think how can he be sacked, but the writing has been on the wall for him for some time, especially since friday after that extraordinary general meeting given by the federation were those rubiales, the man at the centre of the scandal involving Jenni Hermoso stood at the podium, everyone expected him to resign and instead he doubled down and said he would not resign and repeated it five times, hitting out at various different groups as well. Vilda could be seen on the front row of that Meeting Uploading and supporting rubiales. On saturday he changed his tune somewhat and issued a statement criticising rubiales but not calling for his dismissal and not calling for his dismissal and not calling for a change of leadership. And the acting president of the spanish fa pedrosa has released a statement confirming his dismissal, a complimentary statement thanking him for his service but he is now no longer the head coach of spain. It is worth remembering there has been some controversy around vilda. Last year 15 spanish players went on strike in protest at conditions in the spanish team, saying it was affecting their physical and mental health. Back then the federation Under Rubiales stood by vilda, they are not any more.

Currently she has now players to select, all of them are refusing to play for spain was loose rubiales remains president. He is suspended by fifa, but still in post. Today the spanish fa released an earlier statement condemning the actions of rubiales, distancing themselves from him completely, saying that his behaviour was totally unacceptable and they have essentially in their mind drawn a line under the rubiales era but whether that will be enough to regain the Players Trust and confidence remains to be seen. Questions almost daily on the story, we will leave it there for now, and in the last 30 minutes,. The Spanish La Liga side getafe have officially unveiled mason greenwood. Their new signing has been taking part in an open Training Session today. The 21 year old left Manchester United a few days ago, six months after criminal charges against the player, including attempted rape and assault, were dropped. Joe lynskey reports.

This february, all of those charges were dropped as key witnesses withdrew. Greenwood has always said he did nothing wrong and uniteds own investigation concluded that he hadnt carried out the alleged offences. The club said it would be best for his career to move on elsewhere but that it would support him through a period of transition. On the last day of the Transfer Window he got his new start. This was the reaction in getafe. Cheering getafe is a modest club but a club very solid in the first division. I can tell you one thing, that getafe didnt open its doors for a presentation and today they made openings, so it is like a tremendous ambience for the presentation of a player. I dont remember any presentation like this with getafe so, i cant tell you, there are enormous survation that enormous impression that greenwood has made with getafe. ,. ,. ,. , with getafe.

His last professional game of football was 18 months ago and this was the First Time Since then he trained with the squad. In la liga at getafe, greenwood has his new start. Next on the programme brazil have dropped Manchester United winger antony following allegations of abuse by his former girlfriend. The brazilian Football Federation says the 23 year old has been withdrawn from the squad after facts became public that need to be investigated. Police in sao paulo and Greater Manchester great are investigating the claims, which the player has denied. Manchester united say they have no comment on the matter at present. Night englands footballers have arrived at St Georges Park ahead of their euro 2024 qualifier against ukraine, which will be played in poland at the weekend. For newboys Eddie Nketiah and levi colwill, its been their first time to train with the Senior National side. Trent Alexander Arnold and Jack Grealish have already pulled out because of injury, but those should be the only absences as our football reporter alex howell has been telling me. Not any other immediate issues. Trent Alexander Arnold has pulled out and thatll be the end of his midfield experiment at the moment. He was not listed as a defender in the squad. During the last camp he played in midfield and that luke his england future would be so he will not be playing in these two games is the same way as Jack Grealish, was looking to cement himself in the starting 11. One player who missed out was kieran trippier, who had a personal commitment. Walking through the building at Saint Georges park, he is now here, he has arrived, he is expected to train as normal ahead of those games against ukraine and poland and scotland in glasgow. Outdated look that the new call box settling in . Levi caldwell, kind of a second call up even though it is First Official one. During the last International Break he was here with the england under 21 side getting ready for the european championships which they went on to win and didnt concede a goal, but during that preparation time Gareth Southgate called him up into the squad so he has already trained with these players and he feels a bit more settled, whereas Eddie Nketiah, it is his first involvement with this england senior side, he is the record goal scorerfor england senior side, he is the record goal scorer for the england under 21 side. He was captain as well. He started the season well for arsenal. I asked the striker whether he feels ready to be involved with Gareth Southgates side. That haens Gareth Southgates side. That happens through Gareth Southgates side. Twat happens through the performances at club level being consistent and helping the team as much as possible so i definitely believe myself and i hope i get the opportunity to show that. ~ �. ,. , g. ,. , that. Weve heard from Jordan Henderson that. Weve heard from Jordan Henderson now that. Weve heard from Jordan Henderson now for that. Weve heard from Jordan Henderson now for the that. Weve heard from Jordan Henderson now for the first i that. Weve heard from Jordan I Henderson now for the First Time Since his move to a Saudi Arabian club, what has he been saying . The first time he club, what has he been saying . Twe first time he has spoken since joining al ettifaq and playing under steven gerrard, and his mood there has been criticised by lgbtqi campaigners. He was a vocal ally for those groups and same sex relationships are illegal in saudi arabia. He says the criticism for him moving there has hurt him and it was not for money, he said, he said he went for the project and how that was sold to him. When the squad was announced i was here last week and asked Gareth Southgate aboutJordan Hendersons future. He said he will be assessed on a camp by camp basis but it will be a factor as to whether he can get up to the same levels as if he was playing in the premier league. It is hard to put the saudi legal the same levels as those elite leagues that the rest of the players are playing in so that will be something for Gareth Southgate to deal with as this england squad develops and they prepare for the european championships in germany next year. A week today scotland play england in a friendly at hampden. Before that, they face cyprus in their Euro Qualifer in larnaca and preparations are already under way for fridays game, with scotland hoping to continue their perfect start. They could even secure qualification if results go their way. They sit top of group a after four consecutive wins. Is in all of my years working with football teams this is the most focus group i have worked with which is a really good thing, and it is a matter of honourfor is a really good thing, and it is a matter of honour for those guys because i have worked with some good teams and players and these guys are right on it. Wales have a friendly against south korea to contend with in cardiff tomorrow, before an away euro qualifier against latvia on monday. The welsh have won only one of their past 12 games, leaving them struggling in fourth in group d. To go into each game now with the mentality that we want the three points. We have got to fight so hard, like we always do, but the last two games we played, it kind of felt like we were a different team, it just was felt like we were a different team, itjust was not felt like we were a different team, it just was not wales. Felt like we were a different team, itjust was not wales. And we know that we have to be better and the results were not great, but now, we have got a draw and hopefully we can put it right with these games coming up, starting with a friendly, on thursday. Still to come on sportsday. Ready for action englands danny care gives us the lowdown ahead of the Rugby World Cup. There has been a lot of outside noise but trust me we will work incredibly hard to right those wrongs, and to learn from it. Jack draper may have been knocked out last night, but there are plenty of players with their us open hopes alive and we could be in store for another day of drama with four singles Quarter Finals on the schedule. Our tennis correspondent Russell Fuller is at Flushing Meadows. What a match we have had. Coco gauff, she came to our consciousness as a 15 year old beating Venus Williams at wimbledon, yes she has reached grand slam finals before but she has that looking awry at the moment and in the fourth set especially, she took a Part Opponent.

The other side of the coring is Thatjelena Ostapenko played terribly. The woman who played terribly. The woman who played with such remarkable bravery and aggression and accuracy to knock out the world number one eager Swiatek On Sunday disappeared. We have seen this many times in her career. Winning just seven points in the first set was lasted 20 minutes and committed 36 unforced errors in 14 and committed 36 unforced errors in 1a games but coco gauff is dealing with the expectation here in the United States, where people see her as a potential us open champion. She has inherited the limelight for the last 20 years or so has been dominated by the williams sisters. Like a man she would be a hugely popular winner, like a man she would be a hugely popularwinner, im like a man she would be a hugely popular winner, im sure Aryna Sabalenka will have something to say about that. I cap we will see three americans, i can see djokovic warming up against taylor fritz before a potential Popcorn Match after that. Taylor fritz will have the support of huge crowds in the Arthur Ashe Stadium as the american number one, is not performed as well at the us open as elsewhere on hard courts. His head to head record against Novak Djokovic is not encouraging, they have played seven, djokovic winning seven, but fits is a top ten player, he will also be happy that they are playing at the hottest time of the day. High levels of humidity through the day and evening but at the moment for the first couple of hours of the match they will be in the heat of the afternoon sun, and thatll be a disadvantage for djokovic at the age of 36 and playing under the lights later, ben shelton the 20 year old from the us who served two record 140 mph serves against frances tiafoe, who was a semifinalist last year.

In a Wheelchair Competition Alfie Hewett begins the defence of his title, in a wheelchair single event, but at the moment the wheelchair competition is suspended with Andy Lapthorne completing on the quad singles against robert shaw of canada. The heat and humidity reach such an extreme level that the wheelchair match was suspended.

We have met a lot of fans down. Some people might be asking questions. We have heard a lot of outside noise but we are working incredibly hard to write those roles and to learn from it.

Cant wait to get in about it. Wales coach Warren Gatland meanwhile has said all his players are fit for selection to face fiji in their opener on sunday.

They take on Romania In Bordeaux on saturday and this year will hope to get past the Quarter Finals for the first time. Earlier today forwards coach Paul Oconnell spoke to the media and he believes sticking to the fundamentals will pay off. Sometimes you feel like you to world cup and you need to reinvent the wheel of a little bit. I think we want to evolve and get better for sure but it is not about reinventing anything. Those are my two lessons. More on the build up in the bbc sport website. The Vuelta A Espana resumed today after its first rest day. Sepp kuss retained his overall lead, but its been cut to just 26 seconds. The american could only finish thirteenth on stage tens individual time trial.

Nick parrott, bbc news. Just a reminder of our top story. Spain have sacked their womens Coachjorge Vilda amid the ongoing scandal involving Federation President luis rubiales. A little over two weeks after they beat england to win the womens world cup, montse tome will take charge whats of the team where she had been one of the assistants to vilda. All more reaction to that on the bbc sport website. More reaction. Thats all from sportsday. Good night. Hello. There was another hot day today, particularly across central and southern parts of the uk. It looks like temperatures will build further over the next few days. The peak of the heat wednesday and thursday and will also see the humidity increasing as well. And thats going to make it feel a bit more uncomfortable, both day and night. Our area of High Pressure sitting over scandinavia is drawing up the heat from the near continent. Low pressure sits out towards the west. Were drawing this heat up from france, where were seeing some pretty high temperatures at the moment. Now, as we head through the evening and overnight, it looks like more extensive low cloud, mist and fog will roll into parts of eastern scotland, eastern england, maybe around the irish sea coast as well. Elsewhere, its going to be largely clear and dry and quite a muggy night developing, particularly towards southern counties. Wednesday then we start off with early mist and fog. Low cloud across eastern areas will tend to burn back to the coast. It could linger across some eastern coast of scotland, but its a dry, sunny day for most of us, and a hot one. England and wales high 20s widely could be up to 32 celsius or so across the south east. Mid 20s there for scotland, northern ireland. As you move through wednesday night, theres a chance we could see some showers and thunderstorms moving through central and Western Areas, though most places will stay dry again with clear skies. But its going to be a warm and a muggy night. Pretty uncomfortable for sleeping across parts of england and wales. Into thursday, then, a bit of a difference. We will see the chance of further thundery showers out towards Western Areas in response to the high humidity. But i think for most, thursday its going to be another dry and sunny one, with temperatures again reaching the 30 celsius mark or so across southern areas, but again, mid to high 20s, widely across england and wales. Friday, a similar story, a bit of a misty start, that mist melting away quickly and then its going to be dry. Plenty of sunshine again. Chance of some thundery showers out west, particularly for northern ireland. But again, you can see its going to be another hot day, high 20s for many, again, 30s or low 30s across some south eastern areas. Into the weekend, low pressure starts to edge in a bit closer to the uk, so destabilises the atmosphere for northern and Western Areas. So this is where wed like to see the temperatures start falling, increasing chance of showers or thunderstorms, but it stays hot and sunny for most of england and wales this weekend. Its not until we get into next week, things start to cool down.
