Zidane includes son on Real's squad for UEFA Super Cup
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 09 - 08 - 2016

Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane has included 18-year-old son Luca on his team's preliminary squad for the UEFA Super Cup against Sevilla.
Luca joins the squad as its third goalkeeper, filling the spot left open by Keylor Navas. Kiko Casilla is likely to start the match.
Cristiano Ronaldo will not join the team for Tuesday's match in Norway. The winger is recovering from a left leg injury that knocked him out of the European Championship final won by his Portugal last month.
Zidane also left Gareth Bale, Pepe and Toni Kroos off his squad for fitness or health reasons.
The Champions League winner's attack will be led by Karim Benzema and Alvaro Morata.
Zidane will have to discard two players from his preliminary squad of 20.
Mancini leaving Inter
Inter Milan coach Roberto Mancini is set to be forced out after the club's new Chinese owners decided fresh blood is needed to rejuvenate the team, Italian media reported.
Corriere dello Sport and Gazzetta dello Sport newspapers said Mancini was negotiating a financial deal with Inter and that Dutch coach Frank de Boer was being lined up to take over.
"F.C. Internazionale Milano confirms that it has parted company with head coach Roberto Mancini by mutual agreement," the club said in a statement.
The reports said there was a contract dispute with Mancini and that the Chinese owners, the Suning group, were furious after Inter lost 6-1 to Tottenham Hotspur in a friendly in Oslo Thursday.
Mancini has been coach for two years and is under contract until 2017. De Boer left Ajax Amsterdam at the end of last season.
Aston Villa defeated
Aston Villa marked its return to the second tier of English football with a 1-0 defeat by Sheffield Wednesday when its Championship campaign got off to a stuttering start at Hillsborough Sunday.
Villa failed to clear its lines following a sliced clearance from goalkeeper Pierluigi Gollini in the 85th minute and the ball fell to Wednesday forward Fernando Forestieri who made no mistake from close range.
After 28 consecutive seasons in the top flight, former European champion Villa was relegated for the first time since 1988 after its dire showing in the Premier League last season, when it finished in 20th place with 17 points.
Wednesday's new summer signing Steven Fletcher was replaced with a nasty head injury 27 minutes into his debut, while Ashley Westwood, Jordan Ayew and Ross McCormack all missed chances to put Villa ahead before Forestieri's winner.
Earlier, Queens Park Rangers passed an early test of their title credentials when it beat Leeds United 3-0 at Loftus Road thanks to goals from Nedum Onuoha, Tjaronn Chery and Sebastian Polter.
