Tammy Abraham has struggled to hold down a place in the Chelsea team under Thomas Tuchel (Picture: Getty Images)Aston Villa and West Ham are considering a summer move for Chelsea and England striker Tammy Abraham as he struggles to hold down a place in the first team under Thoams Tuchel. The 23-year-old has been in-and-out of the Blues team since the German took charge in January, only scoring once against Barnsley in the FA Cup under Tuchel’s management. The new Blues boss has regularly made changes to his starting XI since arriving, so Abraham is not in a unique situation, but with competition from Timo Werner and Olivier Giroud, and with talk of a summer bid for Borussia Dortmund star Erling Haaland, Abraham’s future is in the balance. The Birmingham Mail report that Villa ar...

Admitting they were having to make their decisions ‘on the hoof’ as they learned about the pandemic, Kate then assured him he was doing the right thing by keeping family away from hospitals.

Read MoreIn response to its second four-goal loss within a week late Wednesday, the Avalanche used a near-flawless effort to defeat the San Jose Sharks 4-0 at SAP Arena and finish 3-1 on its four-game road trip. Top-line wingers Mikko Rantanen (two goals, two assists) and Gabe Landeskog (goal, two assists) led the way offensively, and goalie Philipp Grubauer (26 saves) was excellent with his third shutout of the season after allowing five goals in Monday’s 6-2 loss to the Sharks.

MacKinnon, who assisted on Rantanen’s goal, did not return. Landeskog scored a power-play goal during Blichfeld’s five-minute ma...
