PARIS -- Yes, it is cute but, no, it is not safe.UEFA explained Tuesday why it does not want players children to join in post-match celebrations at the European Championship.The scenes of toddlers in full Wales kit joining their dads on the pitch after another Euro 2016 win has added to the surprise semifinalists feel-good story and delighted spectators.However, UEFA has asked for no more on-field family scenes when Wales plays Portugal in Lyon on Wednesday.It is a European Championship not a family party, UEFAs tournament director Martin Kallen said at a briefing.A stadium is not the most safe place for small kids, Kallen said. There could be problems if fans invaded the field, and stadium staff operating machinery on the playing surface could also be an issue.Among the most vivid and defining images of Euro 2016 was Wales star Gareth Bale laughing and chasing his three-year-old daughter, Alba Violet, across the Parc des Princes pitch in Paris after a 1-0 win against Northern Ireland in the round of 16.To be able to share it with my daughter and my family was emotional for me, Bale said later. Obviously I havent seen them for four or five weeks now. Its an amazing experience, one Ill never forget.Germany team manager Oliver Bierhoff sided with UEFA, saying: For me its a bit too much at times. I think the notion that you take to the pitch as a team and stay as a team is not wrong.The circle (of team associates) is always getting bigger and it reaches a stage where you cant miss it. From that point of view, I can understand such a decision or suggestion from UEFA, said Bierhoff.After stunning Belgium in the quarterfinals last Saturday, an entire teams worth of Welsh players children had a kickabout in the goalmouth in front of the Wales fans in the stadium at Lille.It is nice pictures, Kallen acknowledged. We are not 100 percent against it but we are cautious.UEFAs request to the Wales football federation was first reported on Monday by The Associated Press.The Wales team is following a recent football tradition of players celebrating with their children, especially after cup finals. In France, the children of several team players, including from Portugal and Croatia, have appeared on the pitch.It is getting more and more a habit that entire family members would like to go on the pitch or into the technical area, Kallen said. The principle is how far you go with having other people on the pitch than the players. People with accreditation cards should be on the pitch and not more.Kallen said UEFA has a responsibility to identify risk and ensure safety inside stadiums.Small kids of five, six years -- if something happened, what do you do afterwards? What do you say? he said. From our side there should be a certain order.Stitched Penguins Jerseys . -- Running backs Darren McFadden and Rashad Jennings were back at practice for the Oakland Raiders on Wednesday despite being hampered by hamstring injuries.

The AL Central leaders will also finish it without him.Brantley, who has played in only 11 games, will undergo season-ending surgery on his right shoulder Monday, Indians manager Terry Francona announced before Saturday nights game against the Los Angeles Angels.Brantley had surgery in November and began the season on the disabled list. He was activated in late April but returned to the DL on May 10 with biceps tendinitis.The Indians have led the division since June 4 despite Brantleys absence.Well just keep playing, Francona said. Thats what we always do.The surgery will be performed in Dallas by Drs. Keith Meister and Mark Schickendantz. Schickendantz is the Indians head team physician while Meister is the director of TMI Sports Medicine & Orthopedics and the head team physician of the Texas Rangers.Brantley, 29, has attempted to return several times but was shut down with soreness in the shoulder when he went through hitting drills. He received two cortisone shots and underwent a procedure to remove scar tissue in late July.ddddddddddddBrantley and team officials remained optimistic hed return, but that hope dissipated when the shoulder didnt progress.At certain points, when he starts to get fatigued, its almost like he gets a blister on the inside on one of those things, Francona said. Sometimes, you go into somebodys shoulder, you go into somebodys knee, its just, things happen.Francona said the specific nature of Brantleys surgery and a timetable for his recovery will be announced following the operation.Brantley hit .327 in 2014, when he finished third in the AL MVP balloting. He batted .310 and led the league in doubles last season, which ended when he suffered a torn labrum diving for a fly ball in September.Francona thinks the hard work Brantley put in to return will pay off at some point.It may not be this season, but I dont think those things go unrewarded, Francona said. I just think that hell come back and hell find a way to be as good as ever. I firmly believe that, because I believe in him. ' ' '
