Wrestling commentator Jim Ross shared a photograph of the stitches from his recent brain shunt surgery, prompting widespread messages of support. Ross has described experiencing memory, neurological and balance problems after being found unconscious and spending nearly 40 days in hospital. He previously said doctors were testing him for dementia or Alzheimer’s disease and explained that the shunt was needed to drain excess brain fluid and improve his condition.

FIFA is reportedly discussing with JPMorgan the sale of an approximately 20% minority stake in the World Cup for about £15 billion, with Joshua Kushner's Thrive Eternal fund allegedly involved in leading the deal. FIFA would reportedly use the proceeds to increase distributions to its 211 national member associations. UEFA condemned the proposal, arguing that football's governing institutions and the game's identity are not assets to be traded, while UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham said the World Cup belongs to supporters rather than investors. The report also highlights Gianni Infantino's close relationship with Donald Trump and his combative response to critics of FIFA's handling of the tournament.
