Liverpool to build memorial sculpture at Anfield to honor Diogo Jota
Liverpool announced that the team will wear a special "Forever 20" emblem on their jerseys for the 2025-26 season in tribute to the late Diogo Jota, symbolizing his lasting impact on the club. Additionally, the club will construct a permanent sculpture at Anfield in his honor. The former Liverpool and Portugal forward died in a car crash along with his brother, André Silva, on July 3 near Zamora, Spain. According to the Spanish Civil Guard, their vehicle went off the road on a remote stretch of highway and was engulfed in flames by the time authorities arrived at the scene. Authorities believe that the driver lost control of the car after a tire blew out. Jota made 182 appearances for Liverpool since joining from Wolverhampton Wanderers in 2020. During his five years with the club, he has been part of a FA Cup victory, two Carabao Cup wins, and he helped secure this past season's Premier League title. Liverpool, in a move that underscores the depth of Jota's impact, will retire the No. 20 shirt throughout all levels of the club to honor his name.

Lauren James' return boosts England ahead of Euro 2025 final against Spain
BASEL, Switzerland (AP) — England forward Lauren James has recovered from injury in time for the final of the Women's European Championship against World Cup winner Spain on Sunday. James had to come off at halftime in England's semifinal victory over Italy on Tuesday with an ankle problem and was seen applying ice to her injury during the match. However, the Chelsea player trained on Saturday with the rest of the Lionesses. 'We had 23 players on the pitch today and everyone came through,' England coach Sarina Wiegman said on the eve of the final. 'So if everyone recovers well, then we have 23 players available for tomorrow. 'I think we have many players that can impact and we know that she can have an impact too, so that'd be nice.' James was a major doubt even before the tournament after a hamstring injury ended her season in April. But the 23-year-old has started all five of England's games at Euro 2025 and been a continuous threat. James scored twice in the 4-0 win over the Netherlands in the second group-stage match. 'I think we have a team of talented players,' England captain Leah Williamson said. 'Lauren brings something slightly obviously having that available is a best-case scenario for us.' England is the defending champion but lost to Spain in the World Cup final in 2023. ___ AP soccer:
