Candreva missed the final group match, a 1-0 defeat to Republic of Ireland, and has not recovered in time for the first knockout round. Antonio Conte may therefore have to reshuffle his pack, with Candreva having operated as a right wing-back in a 3-5-2 shape throughout the tournament. The Italian Football Federation announced that Candreva has been ruled out of the Spain clash, although Federico Bernardeschi will return to training on Sunday and Gianluigi Buffon is expected to reprise his role in goal after shaking off a fever....

With Real Madrid set to host the Blaugrana on Saturday for the much-awaited El Clasico, Campo feels that it will be an exciting game but warned that not many teams can stop the Barcelona team in full flow. He also felt that Real Madrid need to win Saturday’s game and then take it from there if they are to catch Barcelona who are 11 points clear of them, albeit having played an extra game....

She suggested they practice “proper hygiene” and also recommended they “wear a mask” if close to others....

The Houston Texans defensive end just gave his mother Connie a pretty sweet birthday present on Wednesday: a brand new Range Rover. Note that the new ride was parked in front of Camp Randall Stadium — where the younger Watt’s legend grew to worthy first-round draft status at the University of Wisconsin. To think J.J. Watt not too long ago was thinking about quitting football while delivering pizzas. Now he’s a $108 million man who can give back big to those who helped make his dreams come true....

He's still trying to fix it. Smith played more like his old self Thursday night, making 6 of 12 shots and finishing with 12 points in a 117-89 loss at Indiana — the Knicks' worst road loss of the season. Afterward, he understood why coach Mike Woodson had benched him twice in the previous four games. "Yes and no," he said. "I think it's a combination of some things, but we've got to work that out within the team and we'll go from there....

That’s according to a new poll commissioned by an anti-Trump group composed of GOP figures: Republican Voters Against Trump, which is tied to Republicans for the Rule of Law that consistently advocates for the president’s removal from office. Nearly half of voters surveyed—49 percent—said they do not support the Republican National Convention being held in Jacksonville, while 39 percent said they do. And 12 percent had no opinion. The survey also found that Trump trails presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden in a head-to-head match-up: 51 percent to 43 percent....

Blake, a 29-year-old Black father, is paralyzed and unlikely to walk again because bullets severed his spinal cord and shattered some of his vertebrae, the family’s attorney Ben Crump revealed during a news conference on Tuesday. Cellphone video of Sunday’s encounter, which circulated widely on social media, showed an officer grab Blake’s shirt as he leaned into his SUV and apparently open fire at close range.

Caldwell was appointed by the Jaguars in 2013, but his time with the organization is over after a 1-10 start to the 2020 season. The Jaguars fell to the Browns 27-25 on Sunday. “I’ve met with Dave Caldwell to express my appreciation for his service to the Jacksonville Jaguars as our general manager,” Jaguars owner Shad Khan said in a statement. “Dave was exceptionally committed and determined to bring a winner to Jacksonville, but unfortunately his efforts were not rewarded with the results our fans deserve and our organization expects....

The last time Jacksonville made the playoffs was in 2007, and there’s not much hope for them to make it in 2017. Sporting News predicts a 5-11 season, placing last in the AFC South. But while the rest of us realize the Jaguars likely won’t go far this year, the team isn’t giving up hope. Jacksonville’s social team decided it would be a good idea to get fans hyped by having them respond with GIFs of their excitement....

While jawing with Paul and his older brother, Logan, during his postfight interview, Woodley immediately called for a rematch after Jake Paul was awarded a split-decision victory. Paul denied the request initially but opened up to it once Woodley committed to getting a tattoo that will read, “I love Jake Paul,” something they agreed upon in the buildup to the fight. “If you get the tattoo, ‘I love Jake Paul,’ let’s run it back,” Paul said....

The former YouTube-star-turned-boxer is facing retired MMA star Ben Askren. It’s a step up in competition from his previous fights, which were against fellow YouTuber AnEsonGib and former NBA player Nate Robinson. Askren offers Paul a chance at legitimacy, even though this will be Askren’s first boxing match. Paul and Askren have already made plenty of money in their very different careers, but this fight will offer quite the payout for each....

The former Jaguar and current Ram sent a strong message in response to a Fournette tweet earlier in the week. Fournette called out a reporter for his opinion of the running back’s standing with the organization. “You know they been clowns brudda… #GETOUT lol,” Ramsey’s tweet reads. FREE AGENCY GRADES: Best and worst moves of NFL offseason While it seems to be in direct response to Fournette’s dislike of the original interview — one in which the AP’s Mark Long said he doesn’t believe Fournette will play “another down” with Jacksonville — it’s the latest in a dramatic two seasons for the Jaguars....

Ramsey, who was drafted fifth overall by Jacksonville in 2016, is not expecting a contract extension in 2019. If the Jaguars — who exercised the fifth-year option on his rookie deal earlier this year — don’t secure the two-time Pro Bowl cornerback, he already has two teams in his sights. He made an appearance on the " Bussin’ With The Boys " podcast, which was created by Titans’ Taylor Lewan and former linebacker Will Compton....
