Arne Slot makes Luis Diaz admission after winger misses pre-season friendly amid Bayern Munich interest

Liverpool left Luis Diaz out of their pre-season friendly against AC Milan amid uncertainty about his future as Bayern Munich continue their bid to sign the winger. Head coach Arne Slot decided it was best not to pick Diaz after a summer of interest in him and with the 28-year-old seemingly open to a move away from Anfield. Bayern have been in persistent dialogue with Liverpool over the Colombian winger, even though the Premier League champions have maintained the former Porto player is not for sale. They made an initial approach, which Liverpool rebuffed, and then followed up with a £58.5m offer, which was rejected. But Bayern were in talks with Liverpool again last week and Slot did not pick Diaz for the 4-2 defeat to AC Milan. Slot said: 'He's training really well with us but we've decided, for now, not to play him yet. I'm used to talking to most of my players on a regular basis. Lucho is training really well and we've decided he's not playing at the moment. I cannot comment much more about that.' Barcelona had also made an initial inquiry for Diaz before bringing in Manchester United 's Marcus Rashford on loan instead. There has also been interest from the Saudi Pro-League in Diaz, who Liverpool believe is worth more than €100m. However, Slot said Darwin Nunez was absent from the AC Milan game because of a minor injury, not due to the possibility he may leave. He added: 'In Darwin's situation, he's trained also really well and played a few good games for us, but he was injured so we didn't want to take a risk with him as well.'

Ray French, former BBC rugby league commentator, dies aged 85

Ray French, the former rugby league commentator, has died at the age of 85. He had been living with dementia. He played internationally in union, winning four caps in the second row for England in 1961, before moving to league and joining his home town club, St Helens, that year and helped them win the Challenge Cup in 1966. He appeared four times for Great Britain, in 1968. After 204 appearances for Saints he joined Widnes in 1967, playing 123 games for the Chemics. Away from the pitch he was rugby master at Cowley high school. French succeeded Eddie Waring as the BBC's rugby league commentator in 1981 and retired in 2019. In 2011, he was awarded an MBE for services to rugby league. Dave Woods, his successor at the BBC, said on X: 'So many fabulous memories of Ray as both friend and colleague. He injected incredible warmth and passion in his commentary and journalism. Just a wonderful, kind and humble man. You always wanted to be in his company.' Jonathan Davies, his co-commentator on the BBC for many years, said on X: 'Had many great days with Ray he was such a lovely man. I hope the RL appreciated what great work did for the game.'
