Together again

Former Manchester United frontman Romelu Lukaku has joined Roma on loan - linking back up with Jose Mourinho.
The Belgian international has penned a season-long loan deal with Roma, who last season lost the Europa League final to Feyenoord.
Lukaku joined Chelsea in 2021 for a club record £97.5million, but struggled to settle at Stamford Bridge - and will now spend a second season in Italy away from his parent club.
He was loaned back to Inter Milan last season, where he scored 14 goals from 37 appearances.
The 30-year-old will wear the number 90 jersey at Roma, and will again link up with Roma boss Mourinho, who managed the frontman at Old Trafford and Chelsea previously.
Roma will be Lukaku's seventh club - including spells with Anderlecht, West Bromwich Albion and Everton.
The Antwerp-born man previously played 96 games for United, scoring an impressive 42 goals.
He joins a Roma side who have started the new Serie A campaign poorly after a draw against Salernitana and defeat at 10-man Verona.
