Injury Round-Up

 

 

Downes Suspended

AFC Wimbledon manager Wally Downes has been suspended for four weeks for breaching FA rules on betting. Football Association rules forbid anyone employed by a football club from gambling on matches. Downes was also fined £3,000.

 


Bulgaria Coach Quits

The backlash from the England v Bulgaria game, where racist abuse caused the game to be stopped twice, has seen Bulgaria's coach Krasimir Balakov quit the job. Though the Bulgarian Football Union have said it is due to results, rather than his comments immediately after the game, when he claimed he had heard nothing.

 


Clasico Postponed

The match between Barcelona and Real Madrid that was due to be played on 26th October has been postponed over security fears. The game was due to be played at Barcelona's Camp Nou stadium in Catalonia but there have been days of protest in the city due to the jailing of nine Catalan separatist leaders.
