SPORTS AGENDA: Champions League fans heading from overseas face travel chaos due to strikes... while Howard Webb keeps a low profile ahead of vote on whether or not to scrap VAR

Fans heading from overseas to Wembley for the Champions League final could face chaos because of strikes.

Border Control officers at Heathrow will walk out from May 31 to June 2, affecting thousands of Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund supporters travelling to Europe’s showpiece fixture on June 1.

One group who will not be affected, however, are UEFA’s dignitaries, who are due to fly from the Europa Conference League final in Athens to Luton on the Thursday.

Home Office and Border Force officials are drawing up contingency plans, along with Heathrow officials, in a bid to minimise disruption.
