Chelsea midfielder Moisés Caicedo hurts ankle late in win over Fluminense
Caicedo received treatment, returned to the game, then hobbled off as Chelsea finished a man short.
'Moisés, he twisted his ankle,' Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca said. 'I told him, because there were just two, three minutes to go, I told him that we could play with 10 players. The important thing is it was not getting worse, because we have a game on Sunday, but he felt that he could try. But he tried and he felt pain. So hopefully he can be fit on Sunday. We see.'
Chelsea plays Real Madrid or Paris Saint-Germain in Sunday's final.

Wales finally wins after 19 rugby tests and 644 days
KOBE, Japan (AP) — Wales' misery is over. Wales finally won a rugby test and snapped an 18-match international losing streak when it held off Japan 31-22 on Saturday. The Welsh looked like they were going to blow it again when their 24-10 lead was cut to 24-22 by Japan with 17 minutes remaining. Advertisement But Wales used a Josh Macleod ruck turnover to get back into the Japan 22 and pressure and desperation earned a 74th-minute try for flyhalf Dan Edwards. The first-time test starter converted his try and was a perfect five-for-five off the tee. The nine-point margin and sterling defense in sweltering heat were finally enough to get Wales to fulltime, when it celebrated with hugs and cheers. Many of the team had never tasted victory for Wales. Wales had gone 644 days since its last win in October 2023 against Georgia in the Rugby World Cup. It's 18-match losing run left it tied with France's losing streak from 1911-20 as the longest by a major team in test rugby history. ___ AP rugby: The Associated Press

Beever-Jones captures Euros experience with 'memory book'
Aggie Beever-Jones came on as a substitute in the 4-0 win over the Netherlands [Getty Images] Aggie Beever-Jones has had to bide her time to experience a major tournament with England - so she is not going to let it pass her by. A fresh love for photography and daily journals are helping the 21-year-old enjoy Euro 2025 after the Covid-19 pandemic prevented her going to youth tournaments for her country. Advertisement Beever-Jones has been keen to explore Switzerland, swimming in Lake Zurich and making "a little memory book" to soak up cherished moments during the tournament. "Literally in my bag here, they gave us a journal. People are using it however they wish, but I'm quite big on writing stuff down," she revealed. "I've got quite into photography so I take pictures. I've got my own little wallchart of each game. It's a book full of all the memories and little details that sometimes you might forget. "Every day we have a wellness [session], and one of the physios writes a quote on the wall. I just always write it down, and try to find the joy in the little things. Advertisement "It can get a bit repetitive doing the same thing every day so it's nice to take a step back from football, see and appreciate everything else that's going on. "I have a film camera which I love, the prints are in my journal. I've got a few Polaroids stuck in there." 'It's exactly where I want to be' Beever-Jones burst on to the scene on her return to Chelsea after a loan spell at Everton in 2023 and her senior international debut followed a year later. She has gone on to score five goals in nine England appearances, including a 33-minute hat-trick at Wembley in a 6-0 thrashing of Portugal in May. Advertisement But with Arsenal's Alessia Russo firmly in place as number nine in Sarina Wiegman's side, Beever-Jones has to wait patiently for her opportunities in Switzerland. She was overlooked in the 2-1 opening-game defeat by France but came on as a substitute in the second half of England's crucial 4-0 win over the Netherlands on Wednesday. "I know my strengths and I have done it for two years coming off the bench for Chelsea and hopefully making an impact," said Beever-Jones. "Sarina is well aware of that and I respected the decision [not to play me against France]. She knows I'll be ready no matter what, whenever the time comes." Advertisement Beever-Jones has a knack for producing big moments. She scored nine goals in 22 appearances for Chelsea this season, including a stoppage-time winner against Liverpool to send them to the Women's FA Cup final. Against the same opponent in May, she scored in the 91st minute to ensure the Women's Super League champions finished their 22-game campaign unbeaten. Four of her first five goals for Chelsea came off the bench, including her debut at Stamford Bridge against, you guessed it, Liverpool in 2023. Her success brings more pressure but Beever-Jones has always remained calm, putting it down to "maturity" and independence since moving away from home. Advertisement "I learned about council tax and all that stuff that you never really think about. I just think I've grown up and I'm quite mature for my age," she said. "That reflects on the pitch now. I'm able to feel comfortable, look around and see world-class players. "I feel extremely privileged to learn off them every day and equally show my own uniqueness that I bring to the team." Beever-Jones is clearly chomping at the bit to make her mark in Switzerland - and will be hoping for more minutes in Sunday's final group game against Wales (20:00 BST kick-off), where a victory would confirm defending champions England's place in the quarter-finals. Advertisement But it is still a learning curve to be involved in a major tournament. "I was unfortunate in the sense that when I was growing up, we had Covid and we missed out on the Under-17s Euros and World Cups," she added. "I've never really experienced tournament football and being away from family. It's just learning to deal with the ups and downs and setbacks. "It was a crazy time in the world [during Covid]. That's why I think it makes it a bit more special this time round. "It is my first proper tournament - and it's at the highest level. It's exactly where I want to be."
