Huh? They said he's in remission so he's all good to go now and returning to the team. Or am I reading that wrong?

Doctors told the New England Revolution forward that he had liposarcoma in the spring and he says that he is now in remission.

Revealed: Italian and Spanish giants push for new Champions League revolution as Premier League popularity continues to alarm clubs

Jeremy Wilson, deputy football correspondent
30 JULY 2016 • 10:00PM
A new breakaway Champions League remains a serious option for some clubs ahead of crunch talks over potentially radical changes to the structure of European club football.

The vast global popularity of the Premier League is continuing to alarm clubs across other major leagues, who are increasingly looking to European competition as their main potential area of revenue growth.

A series of meetings has been held to discuss options which, as well as a new tournament, also include pushing for significant change to a Champions League that would become more concentrated between the most market-able clubs in Europe.

Several documents have been circulating with proposals that range from a completely new competition to tweaks to the existing structure. It is understood that one proposal would be to create a single expanded European competition that would guarantee at least six places for the biggest leagues.

Others have included an additional selection before the current group phase that would reduce the teams to 16, as well as guaranteed places for certain clubs and matches at the weekend, although this would be opposed by the English clubs.

Dalian Wanda Group, the property and entertainment conglomerate run by billionaire Wang Jianlin, released a statement this month that denied pushing for clubs to join a new competition but did admit to talks designed to “explore ways in which sports and business can be further developed”.

Italian and Spanish clubs are leading the push for the most wide-ranging overhaul. Leading officials at the five most successful English clubs over the past decade – Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City and Liverpool – were photographed after meeting in March but it is not the English contingent pushing for major change. The German clubs are also relatively relaxed.

The Premier League’s new £5.14 billion broadcast deal already dwarfs the money on offer in other domestic leagues, with the competition’s allure evident in the appointments over the past months of Jose Mourinho, Pep Guardiola, Antonio Conte and Jürgen Klopp.

Despite its vast prestige, the Champions League has struggled to keep pace with the Premier League’s revenue growth. Last season, for example, Real Madrid earned less from winning an 11th European Cup than the top 11 English teams from their involvement in the Premier League. That gap is expected to further grow in this current broadcast cycle from 2016.

The frustration in Europe is that, by opening up European competitions to more countries, Uefa has followed a path that might lead to political popularity but does not maximise the commercial potential for the most marketable clubs. There is also a feeling that the Champions League in its current form only becomes exciting when the knockout phase starts in February.

Michel Platini was forced out of office last year and a new Uefa president will be elected on Sept 14. The format for the Uefa club competitions for the three years after 2018 is then likely to be discussed at a meeting of the executive committee on Sept 15 before a final decision in December. The European Club Association, which represents the clubs, has two voting members on Uefa’s executive committee.

“Uefa is in constant contact with all stakeholders, including the clubs, on all football matters including potential amendments,” said a Uefa spokesman. “Any plans to evolve the format of our club competitions would be co-ordinated and negotiated together with them. There are currently no concrete proposals on the table since we are only a season into a new cycle [2015-18] of our club competitions. However, we expect a decision to be made by the end of 2016.”
 
Makes me wonder how many people show up for the average league game. I feel like someone posted that it was the same more or less
There are a bunch of other smaller pitches/sports-grounds for the local league games... much smaller.  

This is just a guess, but I think the attendance for those probably range from several hundreds to several thousands... depending on the teams/fixtures.
