Kehrer replaces Bisseck in Germany's Nations League squad
It was a horror final for Yann Aurel Bisseck and Inter. The young center-back was substituted on early in the second-half, but he only stayed on the pitch for about ten minutes because of a muscle pain in the back of his thigh. Bisseck is now ruled out of the final phase of the UEFA Nations League. The 24-year-old made his international debut in the second leg of the quarter-final tie against Italy. Advertisement Thilo Kehrer will be the man coming in his place for Germany's two matches. The former Schalke defender enjoyed a decent season with AS Monaco in both the Champions League and Ligue 1. However, his last competitive game for Germany was in the 2022 World Cup. Die Nationalmannschaft will face Portugal at the Allianz Arena on Wednesday to determine whether they will play the final or the third-placed game on Sunday.

Diane Parish sends fans wild with behind-the-scenes Soap Awards snaps
EastEnders icon Diane Parish took to social media over the weekend to share a fun-fuelled video of highlights from the 2025 British Soap Awards - which did not give away any of the winners Diane Parish was in a celebratory mood on Saturday night as she joined her EastEnders castmates and headed to Hackney for the British Soap Awards 2025. The 55-year-old soap icon, famous for playing Denise Fox on the BBC show since 2006, had been on the long list for one of the show categories. The star had been initially nominated for the Best Leading Performer gong, but did not advance to the second round of nominations for the prestigious award. Instead, EastEnders co-stars Lacey Turner and Kellie Bright were nominated for the gong alongside Emmerdale stars Beth Cordingly and Eden Taylor-Draper. Stars from Hollyoaks and Coronation Street were also at the glitzy awards show on Saturday night, which was hosted by singing sensation and cruise ship enthusiast Jane McDonald. The full list of winners was announced on Saturday night, but some fans are waiting to find out who took home which prize when highlights from the ceremony are broadcast on ITV on Thursday night. With this in mind, Diane took to social media on Sunday to share her own highlights from the night, which did not give anything away. She shared a two-and-a-half-minute-long video from the celebrations, which included footage of her partying with fellow soap stars before, during and after the event. Uploading the footage to her main grid, Diane wrote: "NO SPOILERS for those who don't wanna know. But I am sooooo PROUD of everyone who works on @bbceastenders What a night!" Clips showed her laughing and chatting with co-stars, encouraging members of the public in the live audience to cheer, spotlighting Anita Dobson in the crowd, and partying at the after party. Soap stars were thrown into a panic at the party, however, as the after-show venue was hit by a bomb hoax. The event was held at London's Hackney Town Hall after the main awards. But attendees were suddenly asked to leave the venue shortly before 1am after the event had reportedly received a bomb threat. "We all got evacuated just before 1am. No reason was given at first and security came round and told us we had to leave immediately," a source told The Mirror - recounting the nerves shredding experience. "As we all waited in the street outside, security told us there had been a bomb threat. We weren't allowed back in the building so people started making their way home." In a video shared with The Mirror, some of TV's biggest soap stars can be seen waiting outside the venue as more evacuate - with the likes of EastEnders' Tameka Empson and former Hollyoaks star Emmett J Scanlan among them. A show source also told The Mirror: "Owing to a security alert after the recording of the awards, it was necessary to evacuate the after party venue. Everyone was cleared from the building safely." Meanwhile, fans of soaps took to social media to slam ITV for failing to broadcast the event live - with many annoyed that they would have to wait until Thursday before being able to see who would take to the stage. Taking to X to slam the delay in broadcast, one fan raged: "It's ridiculous that the British Soap Awards isn't live… there's more hype for the soap stars arriving outside for something not even airing on tv for another week than there is the Britain's Got Talent final… sort it out for next year please @itv." The British Soap Awards 2025 will be broadcast via ITV1 and ITVX on Thursday 5 June 2025 at 8pm.
