      Mitrovic, 28, said: “I regret my actions.  I allowed my frustration to get the better of me and how I reacted was wrong. I’ve accepted the three-match ban for my red card.

      The FA have charged Mitrovic with violent and improper conduct.
      He added: “I was trying to get the referee’s attention but I should not have put my hands on him.
      “I already said sorry to my team-mates but would also like to apologise to the Fulham fans.”

      He was initially handed a 30-month ban from Italian football but Fifa confirmed on Wednesday that it has been extended to worldwide.
      And now Spurs have spoken out by releasing a statement.
      It read: “Following media reports today regarding the FIFA Disciplinary Committee decision to extend worldwide the sanction imposed by the FIGC Federal Court of Appeals on Fabio Paratici on 20 January 2023, the Club made urgent enquiries to FIFA.
      “FIFA has late this afternoon responded to us in writing notifying us today, Wednesday 29 March 2023, that a decision has been made by the FIFA Disciplinary Committee to extend the FIGC sanction worldwide.

      “This committee deliberation has been taken with no advance notice to any of the parties involved.
      “We are urgently seeking further clarification from FIFA as to the details of the extension and its variance from the FIGC sanction.
      “We should like to make clear that when Fabio conducted the interview on Club channels yesterday neither he nor the Club had any indication of this decision being made by FIFA, based on the fact the FIGC sanction was taken on 20 January 2023 and remains subject to an Appeal on 19 April 2023.
      “We shall update on this matter in due course.”

      Paratici had been leading Tottenham’s hunt to find a new manager to replace Antonio Conte, but he will now will have to take a step back.
      The Italian – who denies the allegations – was among a number of Juventus chiefs to be banned after a hearing at a federal court of appeal, while the Serie A giants were docked 15 points.
      He spent 11 years at Juve from 2010 to 2021, including spells as head of technical affairs, sporting director and managing director.
      Paratici, Juventus and the other officials involved have appealed against the sanctions and deny any wrongdoing.
      Currently, the terms of the ban means Paratici cannot directly negotiate transfers or talk to agents.
      But he can work internally at Tottenham, for example attending club meetings.
      Spurs released an interview with Paratici on Tuesday following Conte’s departure, suggesting how central he is to club affairs.
      He said parting ways “was the right decision for everyone”.
      But now Paratici’s worldwide ban from football leaves the club in further crisis.
      Club chairman Daniel Levy has the final say on who the next manager will be but Paratici would have offered guidance on who to appoint.

      Various reasons have been touted behind his sudden sacking by Bayern, such as a lack of player development and “negative sporting development”.
      Reports suggest the 35-year-old and Wurzenberger’s affair was also among the causes.
      That is because it created distrust in the dressing room at the Allianz Arena as she was working for one of Germany’s biggest publications.
      That is despite the fact the top newspaper axed her from their Bayern coverage last year to avoid a conflict of interest.

      But Bild confirmed the 30-year-old will leave her position and assume a role at BMW on April 1.
      Wurzenberger will become the car manufacturers’ “spokeswoman for the supplier network and sustainability”.
      Nagelsmann found out he was dismissed by Bayern during a skiing trip with his girlfriend.
      He was promptly replaced by former Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel.

      During his career he also represented West Ham between 2018 and 2020.
      And Wilshere would love to see his old team-mate Declan Rice sign for the Gunners and join up with Mikel Arteta’s men.
      The Arsenal Under-18s boss told the PA: “He’s a midfielder who can do anything.
      “Anyone who supports any club would want Dec to join.

      “If I’m talking from a selfish point of view, in North London, I think he would be very good under Mikel’s watch.
      “Mikel would develop him, bring him on even more and he would be massive for the team as well.
      “I have had conversations with Dec and told him what he is doing in unbelievable, he is captain of a big Premier League club and is always learning.
      “You have to be respectful to West Ham, that is his club, but his future is in his hands and it’s very exciting for him because he’s got everything with him now and he’s picking up more and more, he’s growing into this man who could play anywhere.

      “I’m looking forward to wherever he goes. I hope it is Arsenal, it would be a massive signing and a perfect fit.”
      Rice, 24, is under contract at London Stadium until June 2024 – although the Hammers possess the option to extend the deal by 12 months.
      Despite this clause they are reportedly resigned to losing their skipper this summer – with Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United all having been linked.

      Rice’s signature won’t come cheap, however, with his boss David Moyes vowing last month: “I think Dec will be blowing that British record out of the water, that’s for sure, when it comes around.”
      The current record is held by Chelsea, who splashed out £106million on Enzo Fernandez in January.

      According to Fabrizio Romano, the Austrian is keen on continuing his career with Erik ten Hag as his manager.
      However, his deal with the Red Devils does not include an option to buy and therefore it will be up to Bayern and Tuchel to decide if he will be sold.
      Under former manager Julian Nagelsmann, it had seemed that Sabitzer’s career at Bayern was over, but that could now change.
      The report suggests that the final decision will be made “around May/June” time.

      Since joining Manchester United he has become a regular member of the side, appearing in nine games in all competitions, scoring one goal.
