In Florence, Fiorentina host Sassuolo this Sunday afternoon without two key forwards — Moise Kean and Roberto Piccoli both absent from the attack.

Across the channel, the football world is still talking about that Freddie Woodman moment from Liverpool versus Crystal Palace. A former referee has now weighed in on the flashpoint, calling it exactly the kind of split-second call that can swing momentum in a match. The incident has sparked serious debate about how injury situations should be handled when play is live and the game refuses to wait.
And stateside, the Miami Dolphins made history in the NFL Draft, selecting British tight end Seydou Traore in the late rounds. Alongside him, Nigerian prospect Uar Bernard was also drafted — a player who has yet to play a single down of American football. Two international stories in one draft class, and the global reach of the NFL just keeps expanding.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
