UEFA call a Friday morning emergency summit to STRIP St Petersburg of the Champions League final after Russia's all-out invasion of Ukraine, with Wembley, West Ham and Tottenham all keen to bring the game to England

Russia could be stripped of the Champions League final as early as Friday after UEFA convened an emergency meeting.

The showpiece event of European club football is scheduled to be held at the Krestovsky Stadium in Saint Petersburg on May 28.

But Russia's invasion of Ukraine, which started on Thursday morning, means it is highly likely the final is moved, with three London venues - Wembley Stadium, the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and West Ham's London Stadium - potential options.
