Women’s football is growing fast but the science is still catching up. In fact, alarmingly, new research reveals that much of the popular advice being aimed at women around hydration, nutrition, and performance is not backed by science at all. The problem is that while online conversations increase - discussions about the menstrual cycle's impact on performance rose by 400 per cent in the past year - the quality of that information is not keeping pace with the demand. It can cause harm.

It is no surprise that Manchester City are taking an interest in Wolves wing-back Rayan Ait Nouri. With his silky touch and ability to receive the ball in tight spaces, he passes the eye test for a Pep Guardiola player and has taken a step forward this season. Even in an awkward year for Wolves, Ait Nouri has progressed.

Maybe it is too early to call it era-defining in the way that Real Madrid’s 7-3 win in 1960 was or AC Milan's 4-0 demolition of Barcelona seemed to be in 1994. There was Barca's win in 2011 too.

The release clause in Frimpong's Bayer Leverkusen contract was set at £29.5m and that represents value for Liverpool. This is a 24-year-old player with a record of high achievement following his hugely successful three-season stay in the Bundesliga.

Mohamed Salah has a combined total of 46 goals and assists in the Premier League this season — 17 more than the next guy, the biggest gap in the competition’s history. A bit more on why I voted for Mohamed Salah to be the FWA Footballer of the Year. https://t.co/KgsPEfuOq9
In Paris where Luis Enrique aims to take the next step towards winning the Champions League again, a decade after doing it the first time. Had a chat with his old team-mate Oscar Garcia about why PSG are now a Luis Enrique team and what that looks like. https://t.co/zpTsjvDesa
The inside story of how Wolves saved their season. Bringing in Vitor Pereira was the big decision but there were lots of little ones too as they began the process of resetting the culture at Molineux. #wwfc https://t.co/Hq2kY3tAeO
