We hear from a friend of PhD student Matthew Hedges - the man facing a life sentence for spying in the United Arab Emirates - who says he fears for his safety and his mental health. A former referee tells Phil he was attacked in his final season after 29 years doing the job. All the football news on the Nations League and the PFA in Team Talk with Conor McNamara and Jonny Gould.
