18/08/2022 Football – FC Zurich v Hearts
Zurich centre-backs Lindrit Kamberi and Marc Hornschuh are both suspended. Kosovan winger Donis Avdijaj, who played three times for Hearts in 2020 before the pandemic struck, is expected to miss out through injury.
Hearts defenders Craig Halkett and Alex Cochrane have both recovered from knocks sustained in the 4-1 weekend win over Dundee United. That leaves midfielder Beni Baningime, a long-term injury casualty, as the visitors’ only absentee.

18/08/2022 Football – West Ham v Viborg
Danish side Viborg FF will be without two players for their visit to West Ham in the Europa Conference League play-off first leg because of visa issues.
Nigerian winger Ibrahim Said and Gambia forward Alassana Jatta will not travel because of entry rules for non-EU citizens following Brexit.
Viborg said they had “tried everything” and consulted Danish football leaders, Uefa and embassies in both countries.
“We are extremely sorry we have not been able to get visas,” the club said.
“Unfortunately this has proved to be impossible, as there is a processing time of several weeks and the match was only finally decided a week ago,” they added.
Said and Jatta have each scored once in the two qualifying ties so far this season played by Viborg, who last competed in Europe after winning the Danish Cup in 2000, their only major domestic trophy.
“It is very unfortunate purely sportingly, as both players would have had a role in the match,” said Viborg sporting director Jesper Fredberg.
“But it is even more unfortunate, purely humanly, that the two miss out on the great experience.”
West Ham have defender Thilo Kehrer available to make his debut for the club after the Germany international signed for the Hammers from Paris St-Germain on Wednesday.
