`` Regarding the rumours , I can say that there is nothing to it . ''
England boss Gareth Southgate has also expressed his view @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Sancho 's development no harm .
Grealish , on the other hand , is believed to want to leave Villa this summer - whether or not the club are relegated from the Premier League .

thedailymirror--2020-06-14--China could have been battling coronavirus in August last year, study suggests

A Harvard Medical School study suggesting Covid-19 was spreading in China as early as August last year has been dismissed as `` ridiculous '' by the government .
Scientists , meanwhile , agree the paper offers no convincing evidence of when the outbreak began - with the first case reported in Wuhan in December .
The research , which has not been peer-reviewed , used satellite imagery of hospital car parks in Wuhan and data for symptom-related queries on search engines for things such as “ cough ” and “ diarrhoea ” .
The study ’ s authors said increased @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Wuhan preceded the documented start of the coronavirus pandemic .
For updates on coronavirus , follow our live blog HERE .
“ While we can not confirm if the increased volume was directly related to the new virus , our evidence supports other recent work showing that emergence happened before identification at the Huanan Seafood market [ in Wuhan ] , ” they said .

But he said the data were only correlative and - as the Harvard scientists noted - can not identify cause .
“ It ’ s an interesting piece of work , but I ’ m not sure it takes us much further forward , ” said Keith Neal , a professor of the epidemiology of infectious diseases at Britain ’ s Nottingham University .
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying , asked about the research at a news briefing on Tuesday , said : “ I think it is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ up with this conclusion based on superficial observations such as traffic volume.
” The Harvard research , which was posted online as a so-called preprint , showed a steep increase in hospital car park occupancy in August 2019 .
“ In August , we identify a unique increase in searches for diarrhoea which was neither seen in previous flu seasons or mirrored in the cough search data , ” it said .
Neal said the study included traffic around at least one children ’ s hospital and that while children do get ill @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to get sick with COVID-19 .
Digard cautioned that by focusing only on hospitals in Wuhan , already known to be the epicentre of the outbreak , “ the study forces the correlation.
” “ It would have been interesting - and possibly much more convincing - to have seen control analyses of other Chinese cities outside of the Hubei region , ” he said .

“ It ’ s clear this had been spreading for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ reported to the World Health Organization in December.

Baidu , a popular search engine in China does show an increase in this term but `` diarrhoea '' - a more common search in Wuhan - shows a decrease between August and December .

thedailymirror--2020-06-14--Roberto Firmino reacts to Philippe Coutinho's potential return to Liverpool

Roberto Firmino has given his verdict after Philippe Coutinho was linked with a sensational return to Liverpool .
Reports on Sunday claimed Coutinho had made a personal plea to Reds boss Jurgen Klopp as Barcelona look to offload the attacking midfielder .
Coutinho has been linked with a return to the Premier League after struggling to live up to expectations at Camp Nou - with Arsenal , Chelsea , Tottenham and Newcastle among the clubs to have been credited with an interest in the 27-year-old .
But the Brazilian wants a return to Anfield , where he lit up the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ appearances before joining Barca in a £142million deal in January 2018 .
That 's according to a report from Sunday World , which claims his agent Kia Joorabchian has confirmed Coutinho will take a pay cut to secure his dream return to Liverpool .
And Firmino , who struck up a friendship with his compatriot during their time together at Anfield , has shown what he thinks about the idea by liking a post on Instagram about Coutinho 's apparent bid to return .
Barcelona are believed to value Coutinho at £80million , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ newspaper Sport claimed the La Liga giants are willing to drop their asking price to £44.5m to get him off the wage bill .
That 's not far off the £52m price tag which Liverpool were not to prepared to meet to sign Timo Werner from RB Leipzig with club finances taking a hit from the coronavirus pandemic .
But Steve Nicol reckons his former club should jump at the chance to re-sign Coutinho - if the price is right .
`` Absolutely .
Why wouldn ’ t you ? ''
the former @ @ @ @ @ @ @ can ’ t think of one reason why you wouldn ’ t .
The only place he ’ s excelled at is Liverpool .
The place loves him , he loves the place .
`` Can you imagine adding Coutinho to a squad that right now are still champions of Europe even though they ’ re out of this year ’ s competition , and are going to win the Premier League ?
`` You ’ re going to add a player with the ability of Coutinho , who is going to come @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as a Timo Werner for example , where he is there to fight to get in the starting XI . ''
Nicol said Coutinho would have to take a pay cut so that Liverpool would be signing him on their own terms .
`` If it ’ s cut-price , yeah .
Listen , this guy ’ s making over £13m clear a year .
He ’ s going to have to take a hit , '' said Nicol .
`` The price to buy him is going to have to take a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ right , [ it ’ s an ] absolute no-brainer .
`` If the money ’ s right , this would be absolutely fantastic for Liverpool . ''
Coutinho has spent this season on loan at Bayern Munich , scoring eight goals and providing six assists , but the Bundesliga side did not take up their option to sign him permanently .

And Firmino, who struck up a friendship with his compatriot during their time together at Anfield, has shown what he thinks about the idea by liking a post on Instagram about Coutinho's apparent bid to return.
Barcelona are believed to value Coutinho at £80million, but last week a report from Spanish newspaper Sport claimed the La Liga giants are willing to drop their asking price to £44.5m to get him off the wage bill.
That's not far off the £52m price tag which Liverpool were not to prepared to meet to sign Timo Werner from RB Leipzig with club finances taking a hit from the coronavirus pandemic.
But Steve Nicol reckons his former club should jump at the chance to re-sign Coutinho - if the price is right.
"Absolutely. Why wouldn’t you?" the former Reds defender told ESPN.
"I can’t think of one reason why you wouldn’t. The only place he’s excelled at is Liverpool. The place loves him, he loves the place.
"Can you imagine adding Coutinho to a squad that right now are still champions of Europe even though they’re out of this year’s competition, and are going to win the Premier League?
"You’re going to add a player with the ability of Coutinho, who is going to come in and be in the same situation as a Timo Werner for example, where he is there to fight to get in the starting XI."
Nicol said Coutinho would have to take a pay cut so that Liverpool would be signing him on their own terms.

The sectors with the most low-paid , insecure workers were wholesale , retail , and repair of vehicles , with 830,000 employees ; plus health and social work with 640,000 .

Key workers among five million employees paid less than Real Living Wage
More than five million people, including 1.3 million key workers, are paid less than the Real Living Wage, research reveals today.

The latest Office for National Statistics labour figures are due out tomorrow, outlining the impact of the pandemic on employment.
But Living Wage Foundation director Katherine Chapman said: “Even before the crisis, millions of people were trapped and struggling to make ends meet.
"Many are in roles now recognised as essential for our economy and society to function, like care homes and supermarkets.”
GMB union acting general secretary John Phillips said: It's a travesty that millions of the UK's Covid-19 heroes are struggling to survive on less than a Living Wage.
"The very people we rely on to keep us alive, keep the economy moving and people fed during this pandemic are some of the worst paid in the country.
“It’s great we applaud our key workers, but after the applause has ended there are still bills to pay for millions of workers who deserve much better than to be struggling by on the breadline.
“Things have to change.”
The legal minimum rate – the National Living Wage – is £8.72 an hour, falling to £8.20 for those aged 21 to 24, and just £6.45 for those aged 18 to 20.
Coronavirus death tolls explained Deaths in UK hospitals so far: 34,119 (This total is based on individual figures announced daily by each UK nation) Deaths across all settings: 41,403 (This is the UK Government's official toll which counts all people who have had a positive test result confirmed by a Public Health or NHS lab in the UK) Deaths registered so far: 51,935 (This is the number of registered deaths in England and Wales where Covid-19 was mentioned on the death certificate, including suspected cases) Deaths in all settings: 57,007 (This is the number of registered deaths in each UK nation where Covid-19 was mentioned on the death certificate, including suspected cases, plus more recent hospital deaths) Excess deaths since January 1: 52,737 (The number of deaths in the UK above the average amount, but not necessarily caused by Covid-19) Sources: coronavirus.data.gov.uk and ONS
The Real Living Wage is £9.30 for all age groups, rising to £10.75 in London.
The research published today by the LWF and NEF shows that if employment figures follow the same pattern as seen during the last recession, hundreds of thousands more workers are likely to find themselves in insecure, low-paid work.
During the last economic crisis the number of such jobs only peaked in 2013 – four years after the worst of the crisis – at nearly 1.5 million more than in 2008.
Experts say many who returned to work or got their first job in the aftermath were in insecure, poorly-paid employment.
They fear the economic recovery from coronavirus will follow the same pattern.

New Economics Foundation Economist Christian Jaccarini said: “Our analysis shows that the recovery from the last financial crisis was a precarious one.
“Even though the unemployment rate peaked in 2011 and had fallen to pre-crisis levels in 2015, insecure low-paid work was more common.
“In fact, insecurity peaked in 2013 and has remained elevated ever since.
“The furlough scheme has controlled unemployment in the short-term but there is a real threat that it will be used as cover to worsen pay and conditions for workers and drive up insecurity in the coming years.
“Moreover, with women and ethnic minorities more likely to be in insecure, low-paid work, preventing a rise as we recover from the current crisis needs to be part of any plan that looks to build a better economy, and counter racism and sexism with it.”
The Centre for Social Justice found lowest skilled workers face 1980s-style dole queues and called for improvements to the adult skills training system.
