Reality Check: Do footballers get paid for internationals?

French striker Mbappe has caused a stir by revealing he is giving his £17,000-per-match World Cup appearance fees to a charity providing sporting activities for disabled children.

In this, he is following the example set by England's players since 2007. In that time, all the appearance fee money they would have received has instead gone to the England Footballers Foundation, which has distributed more than £5m to charities.

The FA does not reveal the size of England men's appearance fees and a spokesman told Reality Check: "We won't be releasing any information regarding player payments."

Family doctor scheme far from off the ground

A “family doctor” scheme that the EOPYY national healthcare fund has been trying to set up is far from getting off the ground, Kathimerini understands.

Since mid-June, all prescriptions for medicine or health tests have been accompanied by a Health Ministry note asking citizens to register with their local “family doctor.”

However, people are often unable to find a doctor.
