A 15-year-old Oxford United academy player, Amelia Aplin, has died after collapsing during a youth match against Fulham.

John Terry is in contention to take over as next Oxford United boss following Gary Rowett's exit two days before Christmas. The U's had won only one of their last 10 league matches, a run of form that cost Rowett his job at Kassam Stadium a year after his appointment. The 51-year-old had led Oxford to survival and a second season in the Championship having succeed Des Buckingham last December.
