From The Daily Mail:

Former Manchester United and Everton winger Andrei Kanchelskis has left Russian Premier Liga club Dinamo Moscow.

The 34-year-old only joined the Moscow outfit in January, but he has not been named on the club's squad list for the new season.

Dinamo executive director Yuri Zavarzin told Soviet Sport: 'We've decided to cancel the contract and as a result he hasn't been included into the team's squad list for the Premier Liga. The contract was cancelled by mutual decision.'

From The Times (about Yorke)

Dwight Yorke’s future at Blackburn Rovers has been plunged into grave doubt after he was involved in a fierce confrontation with Graeme Souness, the manager, on the training ground this week.

The former Manchester United striker’s relationship with Souness has been strained and it is understood to have snapped on Monday, when they had to be dragged apart during a practice match.

Yorke’s career has been in a downward spiral since he helped United to win the European Cup in May 1999. He fell out of favour with Sir Alex Ferguson, barely playing in his final season, and has struggled to make an impact since joining Blackburn in a £2 million deal in July 2002, scoring only 12 goals in 55 Premiership appearances.

Souness was preparing to listen to offers for Yorke at the end of the season, but, at 32, the former Trinidad and Tobago player may find that there is a shortage of clubs willing to meet his wage demands. He has been linked with a move to Qatar, but is keen to stay in England.'
