Joachim Andersen, Rasmus Højlund and a staff member have fallen ill, prompting concern from head coach Brian Riemer as he fears the bug could spread further before Tuesday’s match.

Judge Brings Years of Litigation to an EndA bankruptcy judge approved a $7.4bn settlement on Friday, requiring Purdue Pharma and the Sackler family to pay for their role in the US opioid crisis. The ruling ends years of legal battles to hold the OxyContin-maker and its owners accountable. It also releases long-delayed funds to help people struggling with addiction. Purdue filed for bankruptcy in 2019 after thousands of lawsuits accused the company of fuelling the opioid epidemic. Settlement Surpasses Earlier ProposalThe new agreement adds over $1bn to a previous settlement rejected by the Supreme Court last year. Steve Miller, Purdue…
Celtic are moving quickly to appoint Wilfried Nancy as their next manager, with talks expected to accelerate over the weekend. The Columbus Crew boss has emerged as the leading candidate to succeed Brendan Rodgers, whose second spell at the club ended acrimoniously in October.

Nancy, who is reportedly keen on the move, could be in place before Celtic’s trip to St Mirren next weekend, ending Martin O’Neill’s brief caretaker spell. Nancy, 47, fits Celtic’s preferred profile of a progressive, adaptable…

Apology Sparks Political TurmoilThe national broadcaster apologises to US President Donald Trump after Panorama producers stitched together parts of his 6 January 2021 speech.

Patrick Bamford has joined Sheffield United, just seven months after leading abusive chants about manager Chris Wilder during Leeds United’s promotion celebrations. The 32-year-old striker, who left Leeds by mutual consent in August, has signed a short-term deal with the Blades until January. Despite past tension between the pair — including Wilder once calling Bamford a “muppet” in 2019 — both have moved on as United seek to boost their struggling attack. Following the viral chant in April, Bamford and then-Leeds boss Daniel Farke phoned Wilder to apologise. Wilder later said there were “no issues,” describing the conversation as respectful.…
