Adam Beard will link up with Wales' World Cup squad in Japan early next week after having his appendix removed.

Ospreys lock Beard, capped 16 times, was taken to hospital in Wales before the squad's departure on Wednesday.

The Welsh Rugby Union said that he "had his appendix removed uneventfully" and is "recovering well".

Beard, 23, will be assessed on arrival in Japan, with the hope he is available for their opening Pool D game against Georgia in Toyota on 23 September.

Wales are likely to be without Beard's fellow lock Cory Hill for that game as he continues his recovery from a stress fracture in his leg.

Hill was named in Wales' 31-man World Cup squad, with the second pool fixture against Australia on 29 September being his initial target.

Warren Gatland's side then face pool games against Fiji and Uruguay.

TOLEDO, Ohio – Rarely does a new driver step up the ladder into a new racing series and thoroughly dominate.

Sure, Davey Allison won two Monster Energy Cup Series races as a rookie back in 1987, but he also finished outside the top ten in 12 of his 22 starts, and failed to finish six times. Six years later, Jeff Gordon would go winless in his rookie season and fail to finish eleven times.

Both drivers eventually figured it out, and both have been inducted into the NASCAR Hall of Fame for their accomplishments in the sport.

Chandler Smith is 17 years old. He’s yet to run a full season in the ARCA Menards Series, making appearances on the short tracks in 2018 and adding WWT Raceway and Pocono Raceway to his schedule in 2019. He’s made a total of 18 career starts, which for a driver his age may have been unheard of a decade ago.

But that’s far from the most impressive part of the Talking Rock, Ga., native’s brief career.

Smith has won six times, finished in the top five thirteen times, and finished in the top ten in every start but one. He’s led 1,422 laps out of 3,177 he’s completed. He also set a modern era ARCA Menards Series record by starting from the General Tire Pole in each of his first four career appearances.

It’s not just in ARCA where Smith’s talents have been on display. He’s made the leap into the NASCAR Gander Outdoors Truck Series in 2019. In three starts he’s earned two top-five finishes and has been in the top ten in all three. He finished a career best second in his last appearance at Bristol, pushing his average finish to an impressive 4.7.

Not bad for a young man not yet eligible to vote.

Smith returns to the ARCA Menards Series for the first time since July in Saturday night’s Kentuckiana Ford Dealers Fall Classic 200 at Salem Speedway. In last year’s race, Smith started outside the front row and took the lead on lap one and led 199 of the race’s 200 laps to earn his second win of the season.

Hard to believe anyone could improve on that performance, but for Smith he thinks he can.

“I guess we just need to go down and lead that one more lap,” Smith joked. “We should have led that lap last year but Gus Dean led a lap on pit road. We did everything else we could do there last year so we need to go get that one extra lap this time.”

Smith will undoubtedly be a challenger for the victory at Salem. Being near the front and battling for the victory will put him in proximity to his Venturini Motorsports teammates Michael Self and Christian Eckes, two drivers that not only will also be battling for the win but are fighting it out for the ARCA Menards Series championship.

Smith isn’t involved in the battle for the driver’s championship, afterall, he’s only run nine of the seventeen races so far. But his No. 20 car is leading the owner’s championship standings, which means Smith will not be backing down to his teammates as the race winds to its conclusion.

“Every point definitely matters for us too,” Smith said. “We really want to get that owner’s championship for Billy and the team. Everyone has worked so hard to make it happen for the 20 team all season long, and I can only speak for what it’s like when I am in the car, but I think we’ve had the best cars out there. I know my teammates are battling for the drivers championship but for us, it’s all about that owner’s championship.”

Smith’s time in the No. 20 Toyota for Venturini Motorsports is limited by the fact, that at seventeen years of age, he is not eligible to compete on the majority of the superspeedways the ARCA Menards Series races on per ARCA rules. Despite only running about half of the races, Smith has built a strong report with the team and believes that is the secret to his success.

“All of us are strictly business at the track,” he said. “We all know what we want and what we need and our only job at the track is to get it done. It’s almost like we don’t even have to say it. Everyone knows it and we all work towards it.”

PHILADELPHIA -- The Flyers have signed defenseman Ivan Provorov to a six-year, $40.5 million contract.

The deal on Friday with the 22-year-old restricted free agent from Russia has an average annual value of $6.75 million.

Provorov has 30 goals and 97 points in his first three seasons. He holds the Flyers record for consecutive games played from his NHL debut. His first game was in October 2016.

Provorov won the Barry Ashbee Trophy as the Flyers' outstanding defenseman in his rookie season. He is the youngest Flyer to receive the honor.

General manager Chuck Fletcher says Provorov has developed into one of the NHL's top young defensemen. He adds that his "commitment to the game and his teammates is second to none."

Provorov was drafted by the Flyers as the seventh overall pick in 2015.

GLENEAGLES, Scotland – Europe’s Georgia Hall and Celine Boutier said they fed off the enormous galleries that turned out Friday at Gleneagles to watch the Solheim Cup.

Hall was on fire with her iron play, teaming with Boutier to defeat Lexi Thompson and Brittany Altomare, 2 and 1. Boutier holed some timely putts in the foursomes (better ball) format.

The European duo took down the world’s highest ranked player in this event, ending world No. 3 Thompson’s brilliant run of undefeated play in the Solheim Cup. It was Thompson’s first loss in Solheim Cup play since 2013, which was her debut in the event. She had gone nine consecutive matches without losing until Friday’s defeat.

The Euros said they really benefitted from the home-field advantage while taking a 2 ½ to  1 ½ lead in the morning session.

“I love being at home in Europe and having all the home crowd behind us,” Boutier said. “It's definitely something special.”

The first tee staging was impressive, dwarfing the setup at European Solheim Cup venues in the past. More than 2,200 fans filled the bleachers there, according to IMG, with three or four times that engulfing the entire length of the first hole, from tee to green.

“I feel like my heart is going to explode,” Boutier said.

Scotland, the birthplace of golf, is showing the Europeans and Americans just how much they love the game this week.

“We had great crowds today,” said Ross Hallett, IMG’s executive tournament director. “I don’t know how many yet, but we we’re hoping for 20,000, or a little bit more. We’re expecting 100,000 for the week.”

That would be almost double the total turnout for the AIG Women’s British Open, which was played at Woburn just outside London. Hallett estimates more than 60,000 turned out for that.

“The fans are just unbelievable here in Scotland,” said England’s Bronte Law, who teamed with Carlota Ciganda to halve Morgan Pressel and Marina Alex in the opening match.

Neymar will make his Paris Saint-Germain return against Strasbourg in Ligue 1 on Saturday, but Kylian Mbappe and Edinson Cavani will miss out as they continue to battle to be fit in time for next week's Champions League opener against Real Madrid.

The Brazil international, who was heavily linked with a move to Barcelona over the summer, returned to action for his country over the international break and scored against Colombia but is yet to feature for PSG this season, while Mbappe and Cavani suffered injuries against Toulouse last month.

- Neymar to Barca: Biggest transfer which never happened

"Yes, clearly [Neymar will be in the squad]," PSG coach Thomas Tuchel told a news conference on Friday. "Like I said, I am happy the transfer period is over -- everything is clear.

"We have a big squad of players with character, talent and experience. Neymar is in the group, that is for sure. He can focus now. He needs to make his return as he is a PSG player, so he is in the squad for this one.

"It has not been easy for him in recent weeks, but that is life. We had the chance to speak on Thursday, but we are yet to speak today. My challenge is to speak with him about his position on the pitch when attacking and defending."

Asked about possible whistling and jeering from PSG supporters at Parc des Princes when Neymar returns to action, Tuchel said he understands their feelings, but cannot control the actions.

"I can understand the fans are not happy with the situation and what happened," he said. "However, I cannot influence their reaction, nor control the fans.

"The only things that I can control are in my team. Neymar is our player and we need to stay focused on this topic. I am convinced he will give everything to achieve our aims. His first objective is to win against Strasbourg."

Tuchel also said that intends to hand goalkeeper Keylor Navas his debut against Strasbourg while summer signing Ander Herrera has also declared himself fit.

Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane has said he will not rush Eden Hazard into action despite the club's top summer signing being ready to play.

Hazard, who joined Madrid from Chelsea in June for a fee that could reach £130 million, has been sidelined since Aug. 16 with a thigh injury and has yet to make his competitive debut.

"Regarding Hazard, we have to go little by little," Zidane said in Friday's news conference.

"He has been injured for three weeks. He was back training this week. We have to go carefully with him. We know what the situation is, he is ready and that's the most important thing. I will give him minutes here and there, not trying to push him too much to get the best out of him. We have seven games in 21 days and we need to use our heads with Hazard."

Madrid host Levante on Saturday before opening their Champions League campaign at Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday.

Zidane said he will continue to rely on Gareth Bale, who has enjoyed a strong start to the campaign.

Bale was involved in a tense stand-off with Zidane during preseason, with the coach saying he was keen for Bale to leave.

"I've always said he has amazing quality," Zidane said. "He is a great player. We all know what happened this summer. "I'm happy, he is happy. The fans too, we have to move forward. For me all the players are the best that we have and Gareth is one of them"

Asked about Bale's comments in which he said he felt he was made a scapegoat for Madrid's poor 2018-19 campaign, Zidane said: "We are all in the same boat, we are all guilty if things go wrong. We want to change things. It's up to us. Comments and criticisms from outside will never change. We need to win more games."

Madrid have taken five points in their opening three games and are fifth in the table.

"We know the situation already," Zidane said. "We've lost points but this has just begun. We know all the games are important. We know the importance of getting points to move up the table."

Injuries have been a problem for Madrid with Luka Modric the 10th player to be ruled out since the start of the season.

"Luka has had two games in three days," Zidane said. "I hope Luka recovers as soon as possible for us. The fact that he is out injured and can't play tomorrow we just have to accept it."

Asked if there is an explanation for Modric being the eighth Madrid player to suffer a muscular injury since the start of the season, Zidane said: "No. Every club has similar problems. We have international players and that makes things difficult. But we work well [in training], I have confidence in the backroom staff, they are the best. After Luca's injury we hope there will be no more."

With Modric sidelined, James Rodriguez, who has recovered from a calf problem, is expected to start against Levante.

"There are always negatives and positives," Zidane said. "There are players that can come in. This is the squad that we have and everyone is going to get their chance to play and contribute to the team."

Among those players is Vinicius, who made his Brazil debut this week.

Zidane defended Vinicius, who has been criticised in recent weeks for lacking the spark he showed in his first season at Madrid.

"You don't think he is the same player? That's what the media thinks," Zidane said. "I completely trust Vinicius and I'm the coach. He is 18, he is playing for Madrid. It's like everything, things take time and he is in the process of doing well like everyone. Sometimes he won't play. "

Midfielder Federico Valverde has been ruled out against Levante, and becomes Madrid's 12th injured player of the campaign.

Marcelino has said he is "absolutely certain" that winning the Copa del Rey last season triggered his sacking as Valencia coach this week.

The Spaniard, who spent two campaigns at the helm of Los Che, was dismissed on Wednesday despite winning the Copa del Rey and securing Champions League football last season.

Speaking for the first time since being dismissed, Marcelino told a news conference: "I'm absolutely certain that what triggered this [sacking] was the Copa. During the season, we received direct messages from certain people that we had to reject the Copa [in order to concentrate on La Liga].

"But the fans wanted to fight for it. The players too and so did the coaching staff. Who would have told me that this would trigger this situation?"

Valencia beat La Liga champions Barcelona 2-1 in Seville on May 26 to lift the Copa while they finished fourth in La Liga despite a slow start to the 2018-19 campaign.

"We never received any congratulatory messages from the club owner [Peter Lim] after winning the Copa," Marcelino said.

"When I went to Singapore on July 19, he [Lim] only congratulated me for the Champions League qualification and not for the Copa. You can imagine my surprise."

Marcelino reportedly had a tense relationship with Lim over differences regarding Valencia's summer transfer policy.

However, the former Villarreal coach said he is still upset over the club's decision to dismiss him and appoint Albert Celades as his replacement.

"I was incredulous when they notified me," the 54-year-old said. "I felt helpless.

"I never saw myself out and it came as a surprise. When I met with the club owner on July 19 he told me face-to-face that he had absolute confidence in our work.

"After those comments, how could I think that I would be sacked on Sept. 10? I'm sad but thankful for the messages of support that I've received. I take with me the affection and respect from the players and those that worked with me here. Now I will take some time off."

Valencia, under new coach Celades, play at Barcelona on Saturday before beginning their Champions League campaign away to Chelsea next week.

"Things can turn quickly in football and it is just a matter of time," said Gareth Bale, and he knows. He's been told it, he's seen it, he's lived it. Somehow, somewhere, there's always a way back.

In the late spring of 2018, when he wasn't playing for Real Madrid, when Zinedine Zidane had left him out of every European game since Valentine's Day and had no plans to put it back in, when he was at a loss to explain it all and his manager was in no hurry to explain it to him either, someone said there was only one way the saga could end: with Bale coming on as a sub and scoring the winning goal in the final of the Champions League final.

Of course, that's exactly what happened. Not just any goal, either, but arguably the best goal ever seen in a European Cup final.

In the late spring of 2019, when Zidane had gone away and come back to Real Madrid -- bad news, Bale knew -- and had left him out of the team repeatedly over the final games of the season, he announced to the media: "It's clear what I have done." They knew. Bale knew even more clearly. There had been a meeting -- short, blunt, no feelings involved -- in which Zidane had told him his time at Madrid was over. At the end of the summer holidays, though, there he was again. You could imagine him walking back into Valdebebas and stifling a giggle as he offered a cheery "alright, mister."

He was still there a couple of weeks later when Zidane publicly announced that Bale was going, "and if it could be tomorrow, then so much the better." But tomorrow never came.

Bale played 104 minutes in the whole preseason -- he spent more time on the golf course at Boadilla del Monte, to everyone's righteous anger -- but then when the league season came, there he was still, starting his seventh season. In which, by the way, he has won four European Cups and scored over 100 goals. And "starting" is the word.

Bale was in the first XI on the first day back at the Bernabéu. The week before, he had provided the assist in Celta Vigo. The week after, he scored twice at Villarreal. That day, the Bernabéu crowd even cheered him when his name was read out; they even applauded a couple of runs. The last time he had been there, they had whistled him relentlessly. It was as if everyone wanted to forget all that, but they can't. Bale certainly can't.

"Things can turn quickly in football," Bale said this week -- "it's just a matter of time." But if that sounds like acceptance, it is not. After he scored that goal in Kiev, the goal someone said he'd get, he came out and admitted that he was "angry," that a solution must be found. That moment didn't mend everything. Zidane's departure didn't either, and Zidane's return certainly didn't.

Of course, Bale's return to the first team and those goals at Villarreal, along with the sense that he may have a role to play this year, doesn't mend everything. Bale does not forget. This week he said so, and he didn't need to. Bale is not usually a man for headlines and big, bold statements, but there was a message there. It was delivered in Wales, his place, almost a kind of refuge, but it was heard in Madrid too.

It was meant to be.

It would have been easy, politically friendly, to have left it there, issuing cliches, football's like that, time conquers everything, and I'm playing now, I'm happy. But he didn't. He said it was "just about keeping your head down" but revealed that it wasn't. He contained some of his anger, his disappointment, just as he had in the spring of last year, just as he did over the summer. "Not ideal," he called it, which was one, pretty mild way of putting it. Yet he showed it hurt, that there were (and are) consequences.

"I was made more of a scapegoat than others," he said. He said he took it with a "pinch of salt, even though" (and this second part was the important part) "it wasn't fully fair."

He wasn't going to let Madrid off entirely or pretend none of it had happened.

And we are talking about Madrid as a whole. This isn't just about Zidane, where the bitterness remains. This is about his feeling that Madrid, at the club level, could have done more to defend him but remained silent. That they sold him out. But didn't sell him: that then when there was a solution, a way out -- to Jiangsu Suning in China -- they reneged on the deal. They left him there. That scars, even if he scores. This isn't over; they can live with this, everyone can, not least because they had to, Zidane especially, but it's not the way anyone wanted it.

Responsibility for resolving that lies with them all, but Bale made it clear that he sees lying above all with the club. Listen to that line: "you'd have to ask Madrid." He wasn't offering to end it there, not anticipating that it would. There was no line drawn under this, and nor should there be.

"There's more turbulence ahead," he said. He is back, starting, assisting and scoring too. The chance for a reconciliation, perhaps, but it's still not right. And that could barely be better expressed than in the simplest of phrases from Bale himself.

"I wouldn't say I'm playing happily, but I am playing."

Bangladesh chose to bowl v Zimbabwe

Shakib Al Hasan won the toss and opted to bowl in the truncated opening match of the T20I tri-series. The start of the match was delayed by almost 90 minutes due to evening showers that left some sections of the outfield water-logged, and as a result the match was also reduced to 18 overs a side.

"With rain around, we're not sure about the weather and not sure about a winning total, so we've put them in to bat," Shakib explained at the toss. "Hopefully we can get some early wickets and put them under pressure. This is a completely different format, and anyone can win the match on a good day."

There are debutants on both sides, with Taijul Islam picked by Bangladesh, and young offspinning-allrounder Tony Munyonga handed a first cap for Zimbabwe.

The groundstaff also had plenty of work to do drying some damp, greasy spots near the crease. With plenty of rain around over the last few days, the pitch had been covered, and neither captain appeared entirely sure what to expect.

"We probably would have bowled as well," admitted Zimbabwe captain Hamilton Masakadza. "The wicket has been under covers, so we're not sure what to expect. We'll take whatever international cricket we can get. We don't get to play much. It's my last series, so hoping to go out with a bang."
