Paul Clement delighted with protege Alvaro Morata's start at Chelsea

Antonio Conte speaks on the importance of players being happy with their squad roles, considering the depth of Chelsea.

        Gab Marcotti and the FC panel assess the latest transfer rumours that have Aubameyang linked with Chelsea and David Luiz headed to Real Madrid. Swansea boss Paul Clement faces a reunion with Alvaro Morata delighted that the Chelsea striker has proved his early-season critics wrong.

The pair worked together at Real Madrid when Clement was Carlo Ancelotti's assistant and Morata was trying to nail down a first-team place.
Morata won a Champions League winners' medal under Ancelotti in the 2013-14 season, but he then joined Juventus with his game time limited by the presence of Gareth Bale, Karim Benzema and Cristiano Ronaldo.

Julien Laurens examines Antoine Griezmann's future with Atletico, and the FC crew debate where he should go if he leaves.
Things can change quickly in the world of football. It is almost a month ago to the day that Atletico Madrid's season reached a nadir as they fell behind at home to Qarabag in the Champions League. Truth be told they were lucky to come away with a 1-1 draw that all but condemned them to Europa League football and Thursday nights for the rest of the season.
It came during a wretched run of just one win in eight competitions, during which hopes of a La Liga title charge were extinguished. It was the...

FARE urges LGBT community to be 'cautious' at 2018 Russia World Cup

FIFA president Gianni Infantino believes the 2018 World Cup in Russia will be a peaceful tournament and enjoyable for all football fans. FIFA's anti-discrimination advisers are warning gay football fans going to the 2018 World Cup in Russia that displays of affection could be met with an aggressive response from intolerant locals.
Homosexuality was decriminalized in Russia in 1993, but anti-gay sentiment remains strong and intensified after a law was introduced in 2013 prohibiting dissemination to minors of "propaganda" legitimizing homosexuality.
As fans prepare their trips after Friday's World Cup draw, the FARE (Football Against...
