The players appear in an image released by the terrorist group with the message: "You will not enjoy security until we live it in Muslim countries."
Neymar and Lionel Messi are at the centre of the latest threat released by the terrorist group Islamic State (ISIS).
The footballers appear in an image seemingly depicting an execution, in which Messi is lying on the ground next to an ISIS flag, while a jihadi figher stands over a kneeling Neymar.
The photoshopped picture is accompanied by the message: "You will not enjoy security until we live it in Muslim countries."
The terrorist organisation has issued a number of threats in recent days as part of a seeming focus on instilling fear ahead of the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
Last week, it released an image of an ISIS fighter and a bomb carrying the group's flag in front of Volgograd Arena, which is one of the tournament venues.
Messi and Neymar are both set to feature at the World Cup for the Argentina and Brazil national teams, respectively.
Messi was already threatened in another ISIS poster earlier this week, while France head coach Didier Deschamps has also been targeted.
Mohamed Salah saw his first-half penalty saved by Jonas Lossl (42) as a defensive Huddersfield side frustrated the hosts at Anfield.
However, Sturridge capitalised on a Tommy Smith error (50) to steer Liverpool towards their first league victory since September.
Liverpool turned on the style as the Huddersfield defence opened up, and Roberto Firmino's header (58) and a superb Georginio Wijnaldum strike (75) ultimately put the game beyond the visitors.
20' Twenty minutes in and we're yet to see a shot on target at Anfield. All a bit too quiet for Klopp's liking. His side are biding their time, looking to find the gaps, but it's a watertight Huddersfield defence so far.
42' PENALTY SAVED! Salah doesn't quite find the corner with his spot-kick and Lossl dives to his left to keep out the effort...
OFF THE POST! The ball flies into the air and it's Henderson who meets the rebound, but his volley skims the post!
50' GOAL! LIVERPOOL 1-0 HUDDERSFIELD (Sturridge)
Liverpool have taken the lead! And they have Huddersfield captain Smith to thank...
A ball over the top is headed backwards by Smith into the path of Sturridge, who calmly lifts his effort round the onrushing Lossl.
Perfect start to the second half for the hosts.
58' GOAL! LIVERPOOL 2-0 HUDDERSFIELD (Firmino)
Zanka's vital interception prevents Sturridge from tapping in his second, but it doesn't matter as Liverpool score from the resulting corner...
It's all too easy for Firmino as he meets it at the near post to head the hosts into a two-goal lead. The intensity has gone up from Liverpool this half, and they have been rewarded for their efforts.
75' GOAL! LIVERPOOL 3-0 HUDDERSFIELD (Wijnaldum)
Liverpool are cruising and it's the pick of the bunch from the Gini.
Salah lays it back for Wijnaldum, who takes a couple of touches before rifling his effort into the top corner.
The Dutchman just loves scoring league goals at Anfield! Mainly because he still hasn't scored one away for the Reds...
Manchester City restored their five-point lead at the top of the Premier League with a 3-2 victory over West Brom on Saturday.
Goals from Leroy Sane, Fernandinho and Raheem Sterling made it eight league wins in a row for Pep Guardiola's side and kept the title race firmly under their control.
Manchester United had moved to within two points with their 1-0 win over Tottenham earlier in the day but City looked unlikely to concede any ground to their rivals after Sane fired home the opener inside 10 minutes.
The Baggies responded swiftly through Jay Rodriguez but City restored their lead two minutes later via a deflected Fernandinho strike.
Guardiola's side continued to dominate possession and eventually found the killer third goal with a little over 25 minutes remaining, as substitute Sterling finished a slick move for his seventh goal in eight league games.
Matt Phillips struck a stoppage-time consolation but it could not derail City's spectacular run ahead of next week's Champions League trip to Napoli, while West Brom remain just two points outside the bottom three after their 12th defeat to City in a row in the top flight.
Match reports:
10: GOAL! It's been coming and Manchester City take the lead! Sane, who scored both goals in the Carabao Cup win over the Baggies, has found the net again. Fernandinho fed the ball into the German, who had plenty of space, and he turns Nyom before firing into the far corner of the net.
13: GOAL! Where did that come from?! West Brom immediately find a way back into the game. Barry lofts a ball forward and Jay Rodriguez has the goal at his mercy, with Ederson coming off his line but looking far from convincing and Rodriguez lofts the ball over the top. Sloppy defending again, this time from the Citizens.
15: Goal again! Manchester City find themselves in front as Sane plays it centrally into Fernandinho, who strikes a low shot at goal that bobbles past Foster and bounces in off the post.
26: CHANCE! Manchester City should be 3-1 up, a superb curling cross from De Bruyne finds David Silva inside the six-yard area with plenty of space but the Spaniard heads over the bar. Admittedly, he's probably not the man the Citizens would have wanted at the end of that opportunity.
27: CLOSE! Silva should be scoring there!! It's a superb pass from De Bruyne and he manages to pick out Silva in the middle of the six yard box.
Despite the towering defenders around him, Silva jumps to meet the cross, but he cannot nod it into the back of the net as it flies over the crossbar.
42: CLOSE! Rondon should be scoring there, and it would have been a brilliant time to equalise.
Barry does brilliantly well again, picking out Rodriguez on the right flank. He in turns puts a superb ball into the box which meets the head of Rondon, but he can only direct it over the crossbar. Big chance missed for West Brom there.
HALF-TIME: Leroy Sane opened for Man City before Jay Rodriguez equalised for West Brom three minutes later. But Fernandinho popped up with a great strike not long after to see Pep Guardiola's side ahead at the break.
Both David Silva and Salomon Rondon could have scored the next goal for their respective sides, but were just a whisker wide.
56: WIDE! Another wayward effort from De Bruyne as Sane clips a ball back into his path, with the Belgian firing high and wide over the crossbar from the top of the box.
64: GOAL! Manchester City seal it! Sterling, off the bench, tucks home from close ranger after a superb ball across the face of goal by Walker. Easy as you like, that should be another three points for the Citizens.
75: SAVE! A superb reading of the game from Foster there as Fernandinho's weighted pass sets Jesus through on goal.
Any other goalkeeper may have panicked, but Foster is off his line to tackle the striker and seeing the ball out of feet.
87: SAVE! A superb acrobatic save from Foster there as David Silva goes for goal in the six yard box, but the goalkeeper makes a point blank save with his foot to deny City a fourth.
90+2: GOAL! It's another goal against the run of play and more poor defending from the Citizens. Otamendi looked to chest the ball back to Ederson but wasn't aware of Phillips' presence and gifts a goal to the substitute.
The visitors went close several times in the first half before Hazard flashed a near-post finish past Cherries goalkeeper Asmir Begovic on 51 minutes.
Bournemouth created little but their best opening came when substitute Jordon Ibe saw his left-footed effort deflect narrowly over Thibaut Courtois' crossbar.
The result means Chelsea sit fourth, nine points behind Premier League leaders Manchester City, while Bournemouth remain 19th having taken just seven points from their opening 10 games.
Match Report
9: CHANCE! Chelsea are picking up the pace now! Pedro bursts away from Ake in the midfield area and drives towards the box, unleashing a shot from 22 yards - but it's well over the bar.
15: TACKLE! Rudiger's great pass is right in stride for Zappacosta but Ake times his challenge perfectly, playing the ball back off the Chelsea right-back for a Bournemouth goal kick. If that was a fraction off it was a Chelsea penalty.
17: CHANCE! Huge opportunity! Stanislas slips in Afobe, who has Daniels available on the left side of the area. Afobe just needs to roll it to his team-mate but completely over-hits the pass, forcing Daniels wide. The Cherries man still manages to dig out a cross, forcing a Chelsea corner.
But that was a big wasted chance for the home side.
24: HUGE MISS! A disastrous clearance by Begovic lands straight at the feet of Hazard, who finds Morata in the box. The Spain international looks set to tuck away the opener but puts his effort the wrong side of the post.
A big, big let off for Bournemouth...
26: SAVE! Bakayoko rises well over Surman to plant a header on goal but it's straight at Begovic. You sense Chelsea are getting closer to opening up this Bournemouth defence...
28: NO GOAL! Chelsea have the ball in the net but it won't count! They work a short corner, Hazard finds Luiz and the defender's shot takes a deflection before falling to Azpilicueta, who appears to be offside. Begovic smothers his effort and it breaks to Morata, who tucks it home from close range.
But the assistant's flag goes up for Azpilicueta - a look at the replay suggests he may have been level. A very tight call...
34: SAVE! A super stop by Begovic denies Morata! It's a great move from Chelsea as the ball is fizzed into Hazard and his first touch is immaculate, laying the ball off to Morata. The striker turns brilliantly in the box away from Francis and seems set to score but Begovic rushes out to make the save.
44: BLOCK! Cook gets his body in front of Fabregas with the Chelsea midfielder poised to pull the trigger following good work in the box by Hazard and Pedro. Conte can't believe it on the touch-line, he looks very frustrated.
51: GOAL! BOURNEMOUTH 0-1 CHELSEA (Hazard)
Bournemouth were defending doggedly...but that was poor all round.
Morata picks the pass to Hazard but Francis completely miskicks his attempted clearance, allowing the Belgian on goal.
It's still a narrow angle and you fancy Begovic to stand tall but the goalkeeper leaves his near post open and Hazard fires it home.
57: CLOSE! There's your answer - they can hurt Chelsea! Stanislas gets a little lucky to bundle his way past Luiz and he tees up Ibe. The substitute comes inside onto his left foot and fires narrowly over the bar.
It actually took a deflection for a Bournemouth corner but Chelsea clear their lines.
64: CHANCE! More good football by Chelsea. Hazard finds the run of Pedro in the box and the Spaniard returns the favour, cutting back and teeing up Hazard, who leans back and spoons over the bar.
75: BLOCK! Ibe squares up Rudiger and gets to the byline, firing a low cross towards Wilson but Azpilicueta is there to deny the substitute. Strong defending.
83: CLOSE! Hazard delays his pass in the Bournemouth box, waiting for the overlapping Fabregas, who blazes over from a tight angle. He should have done better.
90+3: SAVE! Bournemouth finally create a proper opening! Surman drives into the box and the ball breaks to Cook, who whips an effort on the turn. It's straight at Courtois, though.
In the end it's Bournemouth 0 Chelsea 1
Spain government has officially stopped Catalan government's self rule, just 45 minutes after Catalan parliament declared independence from Spain.
On Friday, the Catalan regional parliament has voted overwhemingly in favour of independence from Spain, with the result being 70 votes against 10 and 2 blanks.
However, Spanish government appears set to impose direct rule to take full charge of Catalonia.
Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy told senators earlier that direct rule was needed to return to Catalonia ("law, democracy and stability") to Catalonia.
The crisis began when Catalans backed independence in a disputed vote earlier this month.
The Catalan government said that of the 43% who took part in the referendum, 90% were in favour of independence. But Spain's Constitutional Court had ruled the vote illegal.
Spain's Senate is still to vote on whether for the first time to enact Article 155 of the Spanish constitution, which empowers the government to take "all measures necessary to compel" a region in case of a crisis.
It would enable Madrid to fire Catalan leaders, and take control of the region's finances, police and public media.
Meanwhile, Mariano Rajoy, Spanish Prime Minister, calls for calm from all citizens, saying on Twitter that "I ask tranquility from all Spaniards. The rule of law will restore legality in Catalonia".
As it went down:
Man Utd 1-0 Tottenham:
Martial late winner secures a vital home win against rivals Tottenham Hotspur.
10: CHANCE!! Dier slips and Lukaku threads a ball through to Rashford on the edge. He can't get his shot away but the ball deflects back to Luaku inside the area down the right. He smacks one with his right boot...SHANK! The ball flies across goal. Spurs survive.
12: FREE-KICK! Sissoko fouls Mkhitaryan in midfield. It's a good 35 yards out, but Rashford lines it up...
SAVE! Powerful strike. It zips off the surface and forces Lloris into a diving save which he turns around the post. From the corner, Lloris palms it clear.
28: CHANCE!! De Gea comes to claim a routine cross but runs into Jones and the ball spins out to Alli. He sets up Sissoko from 18 yards. He's under no pressure...but skies an effort into the stand.
30: TEMPER, TEMPER! Young wants a foul for a flinging arm from Aurier, but nothing given. After a mildly heated discussion, Alli gets involved and Young gets very chirpy with the Spurs man. They go head-to-head but Alli doesn't take the bait.
42: SAVE!! United don't deal with Eriksen's fine ball. It drops toVertonghen at an awkward angle from 12 yards. He reveres a looped effort towards the top corner, but De Gea gets across to make an easy take.
55: CHANCE!! Mkhitaryan drifts into space and it all opens up. He hits a tame effort straight at Lloris......who lets the ball slip out of his grasp. In flies Rashford from close range..what a tackle by Davies, who forces the ball clear from two yards out.
56: SAVE! Mkhitaryan comes again as United up the tempo. He dances down the left and flashes a cross-shot that Lloris has to block away. The rebound drops to Valencia about 15 yards out....his effort is brilliantly blocked away by Dier.
74: SAVE!! Lukaku gets one-on-one withAlderweireld and takes him down the outside. He gets half a yard and flashes a shot across goal which Lloirs gets a hand to. It looked to be going wide, anyway.
United keep the pressure on and Valencia flies into the box. He goes down as Davies leaves a leg out. He tumbles. The referee books him for diving.
77: CHANCE! Oh wow. Big chance. Eriksen finds space again. He curls a majestic ball into the six yard box where Alli gets the run on Smalling. He beats De Gea to the ball but flicks the ball wide from close range.
79: POST!! Lingard gets away down the right and a hangs a ball up for Lukaku to attack. He does brilliantly to win the header and plant one towards the bottom corner. Lloris can only watch as the ball bounces back off the upright!
81' GOAL!! MAN UTD 1-0 SPURS (Martial, 81)
De Gea pings a free-kick long which is won by Lukaku under no pressure. Dier allows Martial to nip in behind him and he's through on goal.
Bayern board decided against appointing Thomas Tuchel while Julian Nagelsmann wouldn't be released by Hoffenheim now.
The 72-year-old is set to return for a fourth spell in charge of the German champions, who he led to a Bundesliga, German Cup and Champions League treble in 2013.
Heynckes retired after that successful season but is believed to have agreed a contract until the end of the season.
Bayern sacked Ancelotti as manager following last month's 3-0 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain, with his assistant Willy Sagnol taking charge of the team on an interim basis.
They drew 2-2 at Hertha Berlin last Sunday, leaving them five points behind leaders Borussia Dortmund.
Former Dortmund boss Thomas Tuchel had been strongly linked with the Bayern job, as was Hoffenheim's Julian Nagelsmann.
Bayern's next fixture is at home to Freiburg on October 14, and four days later they welcome Celtic to the Allianz Arena in the Champions League.
Chelsea are keen to hold on to two of their Belgian superstars as they become more and more pivotal to the club’s success
Hazard’s contract renewal has become a key financial for Chelsea willing to give a new deal for Thibaut Courtois shortly after.
Hazard recently put in one of his best performances in a Chelsea shirt against Atletico Madrid and Goal understands the Blues are aiming to reward him with a bumper deal.
The Belgium captain is already Chelsea’s highest paid player with a £200,000-per-week contract, but his new deal could take him to earn as much £300,000-per-week plus bonuses.
Chelsea are prioritising Hazard but they are mindful that Courtois is also due a new deal with only 21 months left on his current contract.
The goalkeeper is aware that negotiations with Hazard are taking precedent but he hopes to follow and to get around double his current salary.
Courtois is currently on £120,000-per-week but he wants increase his earnings to £200,000-per-week, in keeping with his status as one of the world’s best in his position.
Courtois has previously shown his commitment to renew his contract in the media, even amid Real Madrid’s interest over the summer.
His deal expires in 2019 but Hazard's has an extra year on it and runs until 2020.
Chelsea director Marina Granovskaia is in charge of securing new contracts for first team players and she will be the one to sign off on the new financial packages.
Hazard and Courtois are both currently away with the Belgium national team and they will face Bosnia-Herzegovina on Saturday.
