Keeping you up to date on soccer and rugby.

SOCCER

Manchester United caretaker manager Darren Fletcher will speak to the media later today ahead of tomorrow's Premier League clash with Burnley.

The former United midfielder is in temporary charge following the departure of Ruben Amorim yesterday.

It's understood the club will wait until the summer to make a permanent appointment, with Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner among the favourites.

Fletcher's news conference is scheduled to begin at 5pm.

 

There's a crucial game at the bottom of the Premier League table later.

West Ham boss Nuno Espirito Santo desperately needs a win against his former side Nottingham Forest in the battle to beat to drop.

The 18th-placed Hammers have slipped four points behind Forest after weekend loss to basement side Wolves.

 

Martin O'Neill is back in charge of Celtic.

The Derry native will lead the team until the end of the season after the club ended Wilfried Nancy's time in charge yesterday.

The French coach only spent 33 days as manager and lost six of his eight matches.

O'Neill - who won seven of eight matches during a temporary spell at the club earlier in the season - will resume work today.

Meanwhile, Rangers can leapfrog Celtic into second place in the Scottish Premiership by avoiding defeat against Aberdeen at Ibrox tonight.

 

RUGBY

Tadhg Furlong has emerged as an injury doubt ahead of Leinster's Champions Cup clash with La Rochelle in Dublin.

The prop missed the win over Connacht last weekend with an unspecified injury picked up in training last week.

Furlong's potential absence leaves Leinster stretched at tighthead, with Rabah Slimani also an injury concern.
