FIFA confirm receipt of Jonathan Gonzalez's switch from U.S. to Mexico

Jonathan Gonzalez has filed his one-time switch to move from the United States to Mexico, a FIFA spokesperson confirmed to ESPN FC on Wednesday.

Sources have told ESPN FC that the Mexico federation (FMF) is hopeful Gonzalez's change of nationality will be successfully completed within 10 days. Earlier this week, the former U.S. youth national team midfielder acknowledged reports that he was set to switch allegiances to Mexico and El Tri hope paperwork will be completed in time to make him available for the Jan. 31 friendly against Bosnia & Herzegovina in San Antonio, Texas.

"We can confirm that FIFA has received such a request," a FIFA spokesperson said via statement. "Please understand that at this stage we can't make any further comments."

Mexico begins its preparation for Russia 2018 with the Bosnia friendly and is set to play two more preparation games in the United States in March, before the World Cup camp gets underway in May.

"Through this medium I want to express that my present is in Mexico, the country that opened the doors for me," wrote Gonzalez in his statement on Tuesday.

Manchester City's Yaya Toure hoping for Wembley return this season

Yaya Toure says he is hoping for at least one more return to Wembley with Manchester City and maybe even more before the end of the season.

City are one step away from securing a place in the Carabao Cup final after a 2-1 victory over Championship side Bristol City in their semifinal first leg.

Toure, who is out of contract in the summer, has fond memories of League Cup finals at the national stadium, having scored a brilliant 30-yard strike in their 2014 success over Sunderland and taking the winning penalty in the 2016 victory over Liverpool.

He also scored the only goal in the FA Cup final victory over Stoke City at Wembley in 2011 that ended City's 35-year wait for a major trophy.

"It's always special to play at Wembley. I love to play at this ground because I well remember 2011 and then the other cup finals after that," he told reporters. "We still have a big game to get there, but to go there again would be massive -- it's always a big crowd and a special atmosphere.

"But the second leg will be a tough game. And it's very challenging because we will have to switch off from the league and go to the FA Cup, this semifinal and then the Champions League in the next few weeks."

Steven Gerrard disappointed as Liverpool U18 thrashed by Tottenham

Steven Gerrard's Liverpool under-18s suffered their first domestic defeat of the season after they were beaten 4-0 by Scott Parker's Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League Cup on Wednesday.

It was just Gerrard's second defeat as a manager as his side bowed out of the competition at the quarterfinal stage.

Parker, who took up his post in summer like Gerrard, will take his team to the semifinals as a brace from Rodel Richards and goals from Reo Griffiths and Dilan Markanday ensured a comfortable victory over the Merseyside youngsters.

Speaking to Liverpool's official website after the game, Gerrard believes a number of his players "quit" when 2-0 down.

"It was tough to take and obviously a difficult one to swallow," he said. "The scoreline looks heavy and it feels heavy at the moment but I think it probably flattered Tottenham a little bit, although I did feel we quit in the game at 2-0 down.

"We need to learn from this and my message from the dressing room afterwards is if three or four players don't turn up in big games then it's very difficult to get the result that you want.
