      Ramsey, who has been plagued by fitness issues in his two seasons in Italy, is still expected to join up with Wales for their pre-Euro training camp in Portugal today .
      Ramsey will be assessed for the muscle fatigue but is likely to be picked in Robert Page’s 26-man squad named on May 30 – regardless of the latest injury setback.
      But the ex-Arsenal star, who was in the Euro 2016 Team of the tournament following Wales’ glorious run to the semi-finals, will need to be managed at the finals this time around as the Dragons have three group games in nine days.
      Wales kick off their Euros campaign against Switzerland in Baku in 19 days’ time on June 12 before taking on Turkey and Italy.
      Prior to that, Page’s side have friendlies with France on June 2 before hosting Albania in Cardiff three days later.
      But Ramsey’s availability for Wales has become a major talking point in recent times after missing ten of the last 11 internationals for his country.
      His only appearance and 61st cap came as captain against the Republic of Ireland in the Nations League last October.

      Aaron Ramsey’s season at Juventus has been plagued by injuryCredit: Getty
      It is the fifth time he has had a muscle problem this season, restricting him to 13 league starts.
      Ramsey’s lack of fitness on a regular basis since he left Arsenal in 2019 has heightened a possible return to the Premier League this summer and in a recent interview he revealed his injury frustration. 
      Rambo told Four Four Two magazine: “I’m very proud to play for Wales and want to play for them as much as I can, but it’s been limited in the last few years.
      “The aim is to get back into decent shape and show what I’m capable of again.
      “I still feel like I have many years ahead of me, and it’s just about getting my body back into a decent place where it can perform regularly again. I’m confident that I can do that.”
      Boss Page, who has replaced Ryan Giggs for the finals, recently said of Ramsey: “I know he wants to be a part of it.
      “We can’t help with injuries and soft tissue tears along the way.  What we can do is manage their minutes on the grass.
      “It comes down to individual programmes, some players are more robust than others, some players can play two games in quick succession and others can’t.

      “We will have to manage that.”We want our best players fit and he certainly comes into that category.
      “It’s been a frustrating time for all of us concerned with Aaron.
      “He’s going to be frustrated with himself because he wants to play international football.
      “It’s about us managing him and getting him in the best physical peak condition we can to enable us to pick him for every game.”

      Robson-Kanu was one of three players sent home by Dragons boss Page in March for breaking Covid-19 rules.
      Baggies boss Sam Allardyce then revealed his forward had met ‘somebody you shouldn’t’ days before the 1-0 World Cup win over the Czech Republic.
      The other two ill-disciplined players – Tyler Roberts of Leeds and Schalke’s Rabbi Matondo – have been included for the five-day pre-Euro training camp in the Algarve.
      Page, who will name his final 26-man squad on Sunday, insisted the issue would not harm the trio’s Euro 2020 chances but Robson-Kanu is the big name to have been overlooked.
      Robson-Kanu, 32, has scored two Premier League goals in his last three games, against Liverpool and then Leeds on Sunday’s final day.
      The 32-year-old, capped 44 times, has been a cult hero for Wales fans after he scored a ‘Cruyff turn’ goal against Belgium in the Euro 2016 quarter-finals.
      Gareth Bale and Aaron Ramsey are in the travelling party while Page, who has replaced Ryan Giggs for the finals, has six players unavailable due to Europa League final and play-off action.
      They include Manchester United’s Dan James as well as players from Swansea, Lincoln and Newport.

      The 30-year-old was an unused substitute against Crystal Palace on the final day of the season but he is confident he can play for Gareth Southgate’s Three Lions at the Euros.
      Hendo said: “I was itching to get on. But I have only trained a few times with the team so it wasn’t the wisest thing to do!
      “I feel good. I have been training the last few weeks on my own.
      “Now I need team training and hopefully I can be fit for the Euros. Fingers crossed. That is my target.
      “I have been working hard in the background. I feel good but I have to go and train with England and be ready for the Euros.”
      Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has full confidence that his skipper can play a key role in the rescheduled Finals.
      England face Croatia in their opening Group D match at Wembley on Sunday June 13.
      The German said: “Jordan will be fine, I don’t know if he will be in the squad but he is fine.

      “He trained the last two days with us, he is fine. He can return to training as normal – he will be one of the few players in the squad who are fresh, which is good news.”
      KAL ME MAYBE
      Marcelo Bielsa hopes Kalvin Phillips will also be available for the Euros after a suspected dislocated shoulder.
      England boss Gareth Southgate names his squad on Tuesday, with the Leeds ace considered a certainly.
      But the Three Lions boss will be sweating on his fitness now after he left Elland Road clutching his right shoulder in the dying moments of the 3-1 win.
      The midfielder looked in agony and was straight down the tunnel for treatment after the 93rd-minute challenge while his team-mates did a lap of appreciation. 
      Leeds boss Bielsa said: “Sincerely I haven’t received any information as to the gravity of the injury.
      Knowing the fortitude of Kalvin, I know he has the resources to quicken any problem he hasMarcelo Bielsa
      “I couldn’t tell you if it is severe but I hope he can go to the Euros. 
      “We all hope it’s something that can be resolved quickly. 
      “Knowing the fortitude of Kalvin, I know he has the resources to quicken any problem he has.”
      Phillips clattered into West Brom’s Grady Diangana and landed awkwardly on his right shoulder before being booked. 
      The ‘Yorkshire Pirlo’, 25, has already had shoulder problems this season having missed a month with a problem last October. 
      The local lad made his England bow in 2020 and has gone on to win seven caps.

      Nick Pope set to MISS Euro 2020 with England keeper to have surgery on knee injury

      by

      NICK POPE is set to miss out on Euro 2020, after Sean Dyche confirmed that he’ll be undergoing a ‘minor knee operation’ next week.The Burnley stopper started England’s last three games in March, when Jordan Pickford was missing with an injury of his own.

      But a knee problem that has ruled him out of the Clarets’ last three games is set to see him miss out on competing with Pickford for his place.
      Speaking to BT Sport ahead of today’s final day clash with Sheffield United, Dyche said: “Unfortunately, Nick is going to need a minor operation on his knee this week.
      “That’s not ideal for him or us and possibly for the England team. We’ll wait and see.
      “It’s nothing too serious, we don’t think, but it still needed doing.
      “He was trying to get right for this game to give it a test but didn’t quite come through in training, so he and we have had to make a judgement call on that.
      “It’s mainly down to him and he knows what he’s got to do. He’ll have that (the operation) done this week and hopefully, it will settle down for a quick recovery.”
      Pope, 29, also missed matches against Manchester United and Newcastle last month with a shoulder problem.
      Will Norris has stepped in for him at club level.

      And West Brom goalkeeper Sam Johnstone could be the beneficiary on the international stage.
      Pickford and Man United stopper Dean Henderson appear guaranteed to make Tuesday’s squad.
      And in Pope’s likely absence, Johnstone appears to be next in line, having been named in March’s squad when Pickford was out.
      Pope has won seven caps for his country, while Henderson earned his first against the Republic of Ireland earlier this season.
      Johnstone, 28, is uncapped.

      A HEFTY PRICE
      Standard flats in the Zlota 44 tower block range between £242,000 to £1.9m, with the more pricey apartments costing up to £7m.
      Polish-American architect Daniel Libeskind designed the 192-metre tall block and ensured the property was fully stocked with all Lewandowski will need.
      There’s a state-of-the-art sports and recreation centre, a private cinema, golf simulator and wine tasting room, according to Luxurious Magazine.
      Lewandowski, who rakes in about £275,000-per-week, said: “Choosing my new apartment was based on practical considerations.”
      The living room is spacious and comfortable
      The flat boasts incredible views of the city of Warsaw

      He continued: “The tower provides some of the best residences in Poland, whilst the sports and recreation centre allows me to complete my training program in the highest quality surroundings.
      “It is important in my profession to always have world-class training facilities on-hand and now I’m just a short elevator ride from a full-size swimming pool, fully-equipped gym, luxury spa area, as well as treatment and massage rooms.
      “This was essential for me as it allows me at any given moment to complete my training program in the best surroundings.”
      Lewandowski, 32, has been in blistering form again this season for the Bavarians – scoring 40 times in the Bundesliga alone this season.
      And he equalled Gerd Muller’s long-standing goalscoring record of goals in a season.

      Euro 2020 tickets: Can I still get tickets, and how many fans will be allowed at Wembley for England games?

      by

      EURO 2020 is all set for this summer after Uefa’s flagship tournament was cancelled last year. The showpiece – taking place in venues across the continent – will get underway in Rome on Friday, June 11 as Turkey take on Italy in Group A.

      But thousands of fans set to be disappointed after picking up tickets for the rescheduled event, which will take place in stadiums not at full capacity.Can I still get tickets?
      After a number of changes to the schedule, the 11 host cities for this summer’s tournament have been finalised.
      They are Amsterdam, Baku, Bucharest, Budapest, Copenhagen, Glasgow, Munich, London, Rome, Seville and Saint Petersburg.
      Fans will be allowed at ALL venues, but in limited numbers.
      The majority of Euro 2020 tickets were dished out in a ballot system in 2019 and 2020, before the Covid-19 pandemic.
      As a result, some fans will be disappointed that they will no longer be able to attend the matches due to the capacity issues – and others may not be able to travel from their country due to Covid restrictions.

      Bilbao and Dublin were due to host Euro matches, but in April announced that they would not be fulfilling that role.
      Anyone who has purchased tickets for matches at those stadiums is able to get a full refund.
      With capacities lowered at nearly all 11 venues, unlucky fans who will see their tickets cancelled have been decided by random ballot.
      Those supporters will be refunded in full by Uefa through the ‘My Ticket’ section of their official website.
      Although tickets for most matches have been sold, there are still hospitality seats available for some games.
      Uefa is selling hospitality tickets on the tournament’s official website, ranging from £604 for club tickets to £845 for a private suite.
      And those expensive suite tickets for England’s group game against Scotland are going for more than £1500 per person.

      How many fans will be at England games?
      England’s three group games against Czech Republic, Scotland and Croatia are all at Wembley.
      The Home of Football will also be hosting the semi-finals and final.
      After Uefa disappointed many fans by cancelling their tickets for the final stages, they have announced that supporters will have ‘priority’ should the government increase capacity.
      Currently, England games will have a total of 22,500 spectators.
      The roadmap out of lockdown – which should see all restrictions end on June 21 – meant there was hope that Wembley would be at full 90,000 capacity for the final.

      But at the time of writing, it’s not known if that will be the case.
      Fans received an email from Uefa which read: “Dear football fan, We are sorry to inform you that your ticket(s) for Uefa Euro 2020 have been cancelled as per the ballot process for matches where the number of sold tickets exceeded the new permitted seating capacities.
      “For tickets, purchased through the participating national associations sales programme, the rules of the respective fan clubs were applied.
      “Please check the attached credit note which outlines the details of your refund.” More
