UEFA join Wembley pitch battle ahead of PSV's Champions League visit due to concerns over condition and safety

-
Concerns over the condition and safety of the Wembley Stadium pitch have prompted UEFA to step in and start working with Tottenham and the Football Association ahead of next week's Champions League clash.
Tottenham face PSV Eindhoven in Europe's elite competition on November 6 with further pitch problems a worrying possibility.
UEFA now want to ensure the pitch is in good enough condition for the game against PSV.

UEFA have growing concerns about the condition and safety of the Wembley Stadium surface 
 European football's governing body confirmed in a statement on Tuesday night: 'UEFA is closely monitoring the situation at Wembley and working with the club, the FA and management of the stadium, to guarantee safe playing conditions for the Champions League match.'
Following Manchester City's 1-0 win against Spurs at Wembley on Monday, manager Pep Guardiola said the pitch did not represent 'football conditions' with NFL markings clearly visible following Sunday's match between the Philadelphia Eagles and Jacksonville Jaguars.
The Wembley groundsmen, however, are not prepared to wash over the surface as they believe it could cause damage to the grass. Instead, they are prioritising the 'playability' of the pitch ahead of the aesthetic look.

The Portland Trail Blazers faced the Houston Rockets tonight without the services of center Jusuf Nurkic, recovering from an ankle injury. For three quarters, it didn’t look like they’d miss him. Damian Lillard hit threes like they were layups. Portland’s patchwork lineup hustled to fast break points and forced turnovers. If they couldn’t out-muscle or out-talent the Rockets, they’d simply outscore them. But even in the midst of amazing runs, the Blazers had no answer for James Harden and Chris Paul. When the game hung in the balance in the fourth quarter, the Rockets trailing by 14, those two superstars keyed a 40-19 period to put their team in the lead.
