Burnley sign England defender Walker on a two-year deal
England right-back Kyle Walker has joined Burnley on a two-year deal after his contract with Manchester City expired in the summer, the newly promoted Premier League club said on Saturday. Former Tottenham Hotspur player Walker joined City in 2017 and has made over 200 league appearances for them. But manager Pep Guardiola revealed in January that Walker had asked to leave the club at the end of the season. Walker, who won six Premier League titles, two FA Cups, the Champions League and the Club World Cup with City, joined AC Milan on loan in January, where he made 11 Serie A appearances. The 35-year-old, who has earned 96 England caps, said he joined Burnley after speaking to their manager Scott Parker, who was his teammate at Spurs. Parker guided Burnley back to the English top-flight with a second-place finish in the Championship. "When I spoke to Scott and heard about his plans for next season, it was an opportunity I jumped at. He's done an amazing job," Walker said in a statement. "I can't wait to come in and add my experience and quality to what looks (like) an exciting squad." Burnley begin their Premier League campaign with a visit to Spurs on August 16.

Mjelde hails Hegerberg as Norway seek to advance at Women's Euro
Norway defender Maren Mjelde had no issue handing over the captain's armband to Ada Hegerberg ahead of the Women's Euros, and the striker responded by scoring a vital equaliser in their side's 2-1 Group A win over hosts Switzerland that puts them firmly in control of their own destiny. The Norwegians take on second-placed Finland in Sion on Sunday knowing that a win for either team will see them safely through to the knockout stage, and Mjelde is hoping that Hegerberg can perform more of her heroics against the Finns. "She's brilliant. I was so happy for her to open the tournament with a goal, it's good for the strikers to get the goals. Really pleased for her, pleased for the team, because we needed that win," Mjelde told Reuters. After a rudderless first half that saw the Swiss dominate and take the lead, the 35-year-old Mjelde said her teammates had to pull themselves together at the break. "We all knew that it wasn't good enough, but if they could do it in 45 minutes, we could turn it around in 45 minutes. And I think that's what we agreed on going out there, we promised each other that we would do everything, give everything out there for 45 minutes," she said. "We promised each other that, and I think we did that." Though the Norwegians enjoyed the victory over the Swiss, Mjelde said that there would be little time to celebrate with the Finns up next.

Gwinn injury throws shadow over Germany's win at Women's Euros
Germany overcame a sloppy start to cruise to a 2-0 win over Poland at the Women's Euros on Friday but the victory was overshadowed by what looked to be another serious knee injury for team captain Giulia Gwinn, who was helped off the field in tears just before the break. Gwinn, who has twice suffered anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries, was distraught after twisting her leg while preventing what looked to be a certain Polish goal and had to be replaced in the 40th minute by Carlotta Wamser, who came off the bench cold for her Euros debut in defence. "The worst we can do is to speculate," Germany coach Christian Wueck told reporters. "Tomorrow at 0900 or 1000 is the MRI and the doctors can tell us more. I didn't see the incident, I just know it prevented an almost certain goal." Many of Gwinn's teammates looked shocked as they went to comfort her before she was assisted from the field five minutes before the break, but Wueck said they were quick to focus again. "I think that the injury was not really a topic (at the break) and we discussed the game. We talked about how we wanted to score against the Poles and what we wanted to do better," he explained. "We have 23 players and we are convinced that every single one of them can be a replacement for someone else, and Carlotta showed that." Germany were much more effective in the second half and wrapped up the three points thanks to a goal and an assist from Jule Brand, and at the end of the game they huddled briefly before running down the tunnel. "We went to Giulia, I said 'we're going straight to her, to take her in our arms and talk to her', and afterwards we could go back out to the fans," Wueck said. REUTERS
