Wycombe offer Low new deal as Vokes departs
Wycombe Wanderers have offered a new contract to defender Joe Low while fellow Wales international Sam Vokes heads a list of six senior players leaving the club.Low made 42 appearances, scoring four goals, for the Chairboys who finished third in League One but lost to Charlton Athletic in the play-offs.Vokes helped the club reach the play-off final in 2022, in which they lost to Sunderland but only played nine games this season."Sam has been a wonderful ambassador for the club in many ways and his experience and character off the pitch have been hugely instrumental, even though his playing time has become limited," said chief football officer Dan Rice.Fellow forwards Brandon Hanlan, Beryly Lubala and Kieran Sadlier are also leaving Adams Park, along with goalkeeper Franco Ravizzoli and former West Brom, Middlesbrough and Sheffield Wednesday midfielder Adam Reach, who was signed in February on a short-term deal."Brandon worked extremely hard to battle back from his year-long injury and that speaks volumes for his determination and resilience, while Beryly and Kieran have provided lots of bright sparks in the attack, though both have also been unfortunate with injuries," said Rice.As well as Low, Wycombe have also offered new deals to youngsters Fin Back, Jahiem Dotse, Jack Matton and Laurie Shala.And following last Thursday's 1-0 aggregate loss to Charlton, Wycombe's owners Feliciana EFL Ltd have said the club has an "exciting future ahead".In a message to supporters, they added: "We've already shown what we're capable of - this season will only make us more determined and better prepared for what's next."One setback will not deter us from the longer-term goals that we have put in place to take this club to levels it has never reached before."

Wales star Hannah battles back from tough ACL injuries
Cain bounced back after tearing anterior cruciate ligaments in November 2021 but then suffered another horror injury two years later to leave her career in danger. 'The pain of the second one was a lot worse,' Cain told the PA news agency. 'The first one I did my ACL. The second one I did ACL, meniscus, and fractured my femur when the ACL ripped off. 'It was pretty hefty, very painful. Horrendous. When I was on the floor I remember saying to the manager (Gemma Grainger), 'I can't believe I've done it again'.' Asked if she had concerns over her career, Cain said: 'I did a little bit. Not so much the fact I'd had the injury, it was more so mentally. 'Could I come back? Did I want to come back? It was a lot tougher mentally than it was physically.' Cain's return from her second ACL coincided with Wales' march to their first major tournament under Rhian Wilkinson in Switzerland this summer. The 26-year-old scored the opening goal from the penalty spot as Wales beat Republic of Ireland 2-1 in the decisive second leg of their Euros play-off final in December. She said: 'I knew I was on penalties before the game, but kind of forgot at first. 'I had a moment of panic as I thought: 'Right, this is the biggest moment in Welsh history and it's got to go in' – and obviously it did. 'Knowing I could make an impact in such a big game was an unbelievable feeling.' Doncaster-born Cain began playing football with her brother in the park at the age of four, and says she persuaded her mother to continue after telling her 'ballet was not an option'. Qualifying for Wales through her grandfather Bob, Cain joined the national set-up at the age of 14 but switched allegiance and represented England from under-17 to under-21 level. 'I had a bad foot injury and I didn't think international football was for me,' said the Leicester player. 'But then Gemma, who I knew from the England youth set-up, asked me to come back and play for Wales. 'I came down to watch a game with my grandad and he kept saying, 'you've got to do it'. I phoned Gemma the next day and said, 'Yeah, get me in. I want to do whatever I can to help'.' Cain is now set to meet England at the Euros, with France and the Netherlands completing a challenging group. 'I probably know most of the England squad,' said Cain. 'I've played with a couple of them at different clubs and keep in touch with Chloe Kelly as we were good friends at Everton.' Wales kick-off their tournament against the Netherlands in Lucerne on July 5. Their remaining two games are in St Gallen with France on July 9 and against reigning European champions England on July 13.

Premier League stars set to be interviewed after they're substituted next season as part of in-game TV revolution
PREMIER LEAGUE stars face being interviewed soon after they are subbed next season. Dressing-room cameras will also be allowed but NOT during team talks. 1 A number of broadcasting changes were agreed by clubs at the Prem's June annual meeting. But extra access will only be in place for TWO home games per club. Sky Sports will show 215 Prem games, part of a new four-year contract worth £6.7billion. There will be dressing-room access, a half-time player interview or a chat with a substituted player from next season. Last season saw half-time player interviews trialled and some fans were not receptive to the introduction. There will also be limitations in place to prevent all the changes from occurring at the same time. But it is expected there will be dressing-room access and player interviews at two home games for all 20 Prem clubs. Another change sees cameramen will be allowed to enter the field of play to capture player celebrations. Sky Sports' expansion will see every Sunday 2pm match broadcast for the first time ever. And six of the opening round of Prem matches will be shown on TV after Nottingham Forest vs Brentford was moved.
