Felipe Massa is in advanced talks with Williams about reversing his decision to retire and return to the team in 2017 if Valtteri Bottas moves to Mercedes, according to a report in LEquipe.Bottas place at Williams suddenly looks in doubt as he has emerged the favourite to replace Nico Rosberg, who retired from F1 less than a week after winning his first world title. Massa stepped away from F1 after the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, his 250th career start, but could be back in white overalls for 2017 if the team loses Bottas.Though Williams refused to comment on the news of Mercedes approach for Bottas, the LEquipe report suggests the team is preparing a contingency plan if the Finn does depart. Technical chief Pat Symonds has said Bottas experience is crucial for Williams in 2017 as it has signed 18-year-old Canadian Lance Stroll.Massas extensive experience would make him a perfect candidate to replace Bottas and would solve the potential dilemma Williams would face in a driver market thin on available candidates.The report goes on to state Williams will be given a ￡8.4 million discount on its power unit supply by Mercedes if it releases Bottas from his contract to join the world champions.Terance Mann Jersey . However, he did make them miss him a little less. Cundiff, who had the unenviable job of replacing Dawson last season, agreed Thursday to a one-year, $1. Los Angeles Clippers Jerseys . Clarkson had been dealing with an elbow injury in early January and will be out of action for at least one week. He has three goals and five assists through 36 games with the Leafs this season. https://www.clipperslockerroom.com/Amir-Coffey-City-Edition-Jersey/ .ca! Hi Kerry, Heres an interesting one. I know its common knowledge that all players are responsible for their sticks. We witnessed that when Zack Kassian hit Edmontons Sam Gagner in the face after a missed check. Maurice Harkless Clippers Jersey . On Tuesday, Ottawa placed forward Cory Conacher and defenceman Joe Corvo on waivers as trade rumours swirl around the Senators. Montrezl Harrell Jersey . -- Matt Kuchar and Harris English ran away with the Franklin Templeton Shootout, shooting a 14-under 58 on Sunday in the final-round scramble to break the tournament course record.With no Gary Ablett, Nathan Fyfe or Matthew Pavlich, AFL fans at Metricon Stadium on Saturday could be forgiven for turning their attention towards catching a few Pokemon instead.Gold Coast and Fremantle are both decimated by injury and will scrape together hugely undermanned teams for a clash that will have no real bearing on the ladder, the season or either teams general outlook.Both sides have been stripped of star power with the Suns missing their six best midfielders - Ablett (shoulder), Michael Rischitelli, Dion Prestia, David Swallow, Jaeger OMeara (knee) and Aaron Hall (hamstring) - while the Dockers have rested veteran Matthew Pavlich, and have been minus Brownlow medallist Nathan Fyfe (broken leg) for most of the year.In fact, a team made up of those unavailable for Gold Coast and Fremantle this weekend would probably beat both sides in their present forms quite comfortably.Perhaps to give supporters a reason to bother turning up, the Suns will stage a Pokemon Go-themed event at Carrara, promising free Wi-Fi and lures at the stadiums PokeStop - a welcome distraction in what has been another tough season on the glitter strip.Such a grind it has been that Suns mentor Rodney Eade is no longer bothering with the sort of silver linings optimism coaches usually reach for in an injury crisis, having already exposed almost every single player at the club to AFL football this year.Hall, who injured his hamstring at ttraining on Thursday, just the latest blow for the Suns and he is not expected to return until at least their round 21 clash with Essendon.ddddddddddddI think weve found out enough about the list, to be honest. Its been a bit of a kick in the backside to get these latest injuries, Eade admitted.The Suns beat Fremantle by 26 points back in round two, the second of their three straight wins to open the season, but Eade said circumstances have changed dramatically since then.I think its a clean slate to be honest, he said.I think theres probably 10 changes from our point of view and maybe the same for Freo.Both sides will hand out debuts with Gold Coasts Josh Schoenfeld and mature-aged Fremantle draftee Shane Yarran set to play their first AFL games.WALKING WOUNDED: HOW GOLD COAST AND FREMANTLES SIDELINED STARS WOULD LINE UP TOGETHERB: Henry Schade (GC), Michael Johnson (Fre), Clay Cameron (GC)HB: Adam Saad (GC), Alex Pearce (Fre), Trent McKenzie (GC)C: Jaeger OMeara (GC), Michael Rischitelli (GC), David Swallow (GC)HF: Michael Barlow (Fre), Nathan Fyfe (Fre), Luke Russell (GC)F: Hayden Ballantyne (Fre), Matthew Pavlich (Fre), Harley Bennell (Fre)R: Aaron Sandilands (Fre), Dion Prestia (GC), Gary Ablett (GC)Int: Aaron Hall (GC), Keegan Brooksby (GC), Mackenzie Willis (Fre), Tanner Smith (Fre) ' ' '
