MARTIN SCURR: Type 2 diabetes is one of the most common causes of hot and stiff legs. Even when there are no signs of the disease, elevated blood sugar levels can damage nerves in the lower legs, resulting in both pain (typically a searing pain) and dullness. Blood or urine tests can be used to determine blood sugar levels. However, I suspect this is not the issue in your situation, as you would already have those tests and diabetes would almost certainly have been excluded.

Vialli lost his long battle against cancer on Friday, sparking a surge of emotional tributes from around the football world.

OLIVER HOLT: Gianni Infantino's most notable feature and the bulk of what he does these days seem to be specifically developed to spark a gag reflex. The latest video of the FIFA president adoringly at Salt Bae's restaurant in Dubai was just one small example of how Infantino seems utterly in debt, fame, and luxury. Infantino has a tradition of cosying up to Middle Eastern despots and humiliating himself and football with his grovelling obsessiveness to authoritarian kings such as the Emir of Qatar and Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman.

Gianluca Vialli, the former Juventus, Sampdoria, and Italy striker, died at the age of 58 after suffering from pancreatic cancer. Vialli was first diagnosed with cancer in 2017, but it was announced in April 2020 that he had been given the all-clear. However, the cancer resurfaced in December 2021, and after being admitted to a London hospital last month, he died surrounded by his family on Thursday night.

GRAEME SOUNESS: I only had seen the news ten minutes before, and I received a call to do the interview (about Gianluca Vialli's death). I didn't find it straightforward. I said this on air, but if I had to name ten people who fit his description, I would not be able to do so. He made such a poor impression on me. And don't forget, I was 31 years old when I first met him, he was 20 years old. He was a special kind of being. We used to bring Trevor Francis and Roberto Mancini out for a beer, and the guys were raving and raving after three bottles. They were young boys, and they were very different people. Mancini was ecstatic. Vialli was in charge of his emotions. Luca had everything to love about it. I hadn't seen him in recent years. With the war that he had been fighting, he kept himself to himself. However, he will be in my thoughts for a long, long time yet.

CHRIS SUTTON: Only one boss I feel I let down in my work, and that was Gianluca Vialli (right). Chelsea was convinced by Gianluca that Chelsea wanted to sign me from Blackburn Rovers. They agreed to a six-year deal, with me and Gianluca posing for photos together at Stamford Bridge, each holding one end of a scarf (left). It was the first day we had met in person on July 5, 1999, and immediately there was a manager whose faith I had hoped to repay with mountains of dreams. As we know, that didn't happen. I had a rough debut in a Chelsea shirt on my first season. Gianluca was so sweet to me. Any executives may have snuckled me, mocked me in their press conferences, and called me a waste of money. But not Gianluca.

Antonio Conte is suffering in silence after a difficult season in which Tottenham's manager has said goodbye to three people, but his deputy, Cristian Stellini, says he's as keen as ever to energize his club. Conte has had to cope with the death of Tottenham's fitness coach Gian Piero Ventrone at the age of 62, with colleague Sinisa Mihajlovic at 53, and now former teammate Gianluca Vialli at 58. Stellini attended Tottenham's press conference yesterday as Conte returned to terms with Vialli's announcement that 'Antonio is a tough guy.' This is perhaps more closed to reveal his feelings.

MATT BARLOW: For anyone who followed Gianluca Vialli's illustrious football career and was aware of his illness, his triumphant embrace with Roberto Mancini on the Wembley pitch became a signature photograph. It was the summer of 2021 and those two old friends had settled some of their differences. They were back in Italia '90, where they lost a European Cup final with Sampdoria, who lost the Euros title for Italy at England's expense. Vialli had been so ill since being diagnosed with an aggressive pancreatic cancer, which brought on the added poignancy. He had made the information clear, but he knew it would return at any time. It's tragic that it came too late. He died on Friday at the age of 58. And, as the awards were presented, they revolved around his fun-loving spirit as much as his ability with a ball, his athleticism, or as a scorer of spectacular goals. Graeme Souness, the Sportsmail columnist who competed with Vialli at Sampdoria, described her as "just a gorgeous soul." It's wonderful to be around.'

During his press conference to honor former Bianconeri players Ernesto Castano and Gianluca Vialli, Juventus boss Massimiliano Allegri observed a minute's silence.

The former Chelsea striker died one day after Juventus legend Castano and Allegri opted to keep a moment of silence in memory before lauding the two club icons.
