PROBLEM: (CNN) -- The Syrian president sacked the governor of a restive province, a day after tens of thousands of anti-government protesters took to the streets of its capital. President Bashar al-Assad discharged Dr. Ahmad Khaled Abdul-Aziz from his post as governor of Hama province, the third provincial governor to be fired since the countrywide protests began in mid-March. No reason was given for the move, reported on Saturday by the state-run Syrian Arab News Agency.

PROBLEM: Steve McClaren has warned Moussa Sissoko that he will only get the chance to realise his Champions League ambitions if he performs well for Newcastle United. The 26-year-old France international has veered between brilliant and ineffectual during his time on Tyneside, but has made no secret of his desire to play in club football's biggest competition one day. As a result, he was linked with a move away from St James' Park this summer, although that never materialised and he has struggled to impose himself once again amid the club's testing start to the campaign. But asked if Sissoko is committed to the cause, McClaren, whose side head for Manchester City on Saturday, replied: 'I've had lots of chats with him and he seems it.Steve McClaren insists playing well for Newcastle is the only way Moussa Sissoko will realise his Champions League ambitionsThe 26-year-old has veered between brilliant and ineffectual on TynesideFrenchman was linked with move away from St James' Park this summerSee the latest news and scores from the Champions League
