قدّم بيب جوارديولا، المدير الفني لفريق مانشستر سيتي الإنجليزي تحديثات حول أحد لاعبيه المصابين، قبل مباراة الديربي أمام مانشستر يونايتد.
ويلتقي مانشستر سيتي ومانشستر يونايتد في الديربي بمنافسات الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز “البريميرليج”، يوم الأحد القادم على ملعب “الاتحاد”.
وعاد جاك جريليش للمشاركة مع مانشستر سيتي في مباراة الدور الخامس لكأس الاتحاد الإنجليزي للمرة الأولى منذ خروجه مبكرًا في الفوز بدوري أبطال أوروبا على كوبنهاجن.
وقال جوارديولا بعد المباراة إنه يخشى أن يكون جريليش قد تعرض لإصابة في الفخذ مرة أخرى.
وخلال حديثه بمؤتمر صحفي اليوم الجمعة، قال جوارديولا: “لن يكون جريليش لائقًا للمباراة أمام مانشستر يونايتد، ولا أعرف متى سيعود”.
وردا على سؤال حول استعداد جريليش للتواجد مع منتخب إنجلترا، في فترة التوقف الدولي القادمة، أجاب: “لا، أحتاج للتحدث مع مدرب إنجلترا جاريث ساوثجيت، أعتقد أنه لن يكون جاهزًا”.

وشدد جوارديولا: “عليه أن يتعافى بشكل جيد، لقد تعرض لانتكاسة، وعليه أن يتعافى بشكل جيد حتى نتمكن من الاعتماد عليه قدر الإمكان”.
وبشأن احباط جريليش بعد تعرضه لانتكاسة مجددًا، أفاد: “نعم، ليس هناك بديل (لشعوره)، النكسات في الحياة موجودة دائمًا، ويتعلق الأمر بكيفية تغلبك عليها”.
وعن قضاء 5 أيام للتحضير لمباراة مانشستر يونايتد، أشار جوارديولا: “من الثلاثاء إلى الأحد يكفي، إنه حلم، لقد تعافينا بشكل جيد”.
واستطرد: “المشكلة هي من السبت إلى الثلاثاء مع الرحلات، هناك وقت أقل للتعافي، لقد كان اللاعبون استثنائيين أمام لوتون”.
وأتم: “يومان راحة، لا نرى بعضنا البعض، ثم يومين للتحضير للمباراة ضد مانشستر يونايتد”.
They began the morning needing only a further 37 runs to beat the home team Western Australia

South Australia cruised to a 10-wicket win over Western Australia on the fourth day at the WACA, where they began the morning needing only a further 37 runs for victory. Openers Jake Weatherald (37 not out) and Kelvin Smith (29 not out) carried the Redbacks to their target of 69 without loss, needing only 15.3 overs on the final day to get the job done.South Australia’s Chadd Sayers was named Man of the Match for his match haul of 6 for 108, although much of the focus from the outside was on Shaun Marsh, who secured his Test place with scores of 73 and 110. Callum Ferguson and Tom Cooper also posted centuries for South Australia.
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp could be poised to enrich his central ranks by swooping for one of Europe's most coveted prospects in Celta Vigo's Gabri Veiga.
What's the latest on Gabri Veiga to Liverpool?
At least, that's according to transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano, who recently took to Twitter to reaffirm that Liverpool are "informed on the conditions" of a move for the 21-year-old, who has a buyout clause of €40m (£34m) with the Sky Blues.
Newcastle – while Romano quashed claims that a deal had been concluded – remain firmly in the race for the dynamic midfielder and boast the allure of Champions League football next year to entice Veiga, something Liverpool cannot offer next term.
Despite this, Klopp's Reds have been reported to be 'firm favourites' for the Spaniard's signature by the Northern Echo, and there is a sense that the race will enter the crucial stages over the coming weeks.
How good is Gabri Veiga?
The Spain U21 international has been riding the crest of a wave this season after plundering 11 goals and four assists from just 28 starting appearances in LaLiga.
Only last year, he plied his trade in the Spanish third tier before earning a call-up to Celta Vigo's senior side, playing seven top-flight matches, and now looks set for a career of great prosperity at the highest level.
Should he join the crowd at Liverpool, he will be provided with a platform to flourish and cement a prominent role in Klopp's system, with James Milner, Naby Keita and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain all departing upon the expiry of their contracts this summer.
And given his box-surging style of play draws parallels to the latter, Oxlade-Chamberlain, he could prove to be an almighty upgrade on the injury-stricken England international, who has been riddled with setbacks over the past few seasons after looking so promising during the early phases of his Merseyside career following his £35m switch from Arsenal.
The one-time Southampton youngster averages 1.2 shots and 1.7 dribbles per game across the duration of his professional career, as per WhoScored, also completing 81.8% of his passes and once being lauded for his ball-carrying prowess and offering "something totally different" by Rio Ferdinand, but his inhibition has resulted in nothing more than a peripheral role over the past few years.
Suffocating pressure and high-octane intensity are staple points of Klopp's system when it is firing on all cylinders, and Veiga, who has been hailed as a "top talent" by Romano, certainly looks like he embodies this.
As per FBref, the prodigy ranks among the top 1% of midfielders across Europe's top five leagues over the past year for rate of non-penalty goals, the top 2% for total shots, the top 20% for rate of assists, the top 12% for both progressive carries and successful take-ons, and the top 11% for touches in the opposing box per 90.
Dubbed "baby Kaka" by football content creator Rimedi, Veiga wields the whole gamut of tools to craft a formidable career path for himself, and under Klopp's wing, he could be the destructive midfield force needed to rekindle the once burning furnace that was the nucleus of Liverpool's illustrious success.
Tottenham Hotspur are lining up a blockbuster £50m move for Manchester United winger Jadon Sancho, according to a recent report from The Daily Star.
Is Jadon Sancho leaving Man United?
In many ways, the 2022-23 campaign was very difficult for Sancho, given that manager Erik ten Hag confirmed that he was "not fit enough" to involved with the Man United squad, while also confirming that he struggled "mentally".
That said, the winger did manage to force his way back into contention in the second half of the season, making a total of 26 appearances in the Premier League, and he found the back of the net in the Red Devils' final game of the season.
Despite the 23-year-old's resurgence, he has been linked with a move away from Old Trafford, with a move back to former club Borussia Dortmund still a possibility, as Ten Hag has become increasingly impatient with his disappointing form.
Tottenham have also been named as potential suitors for the Englishman, with The Daily Star reporting they are lining up a blockbuster £50m move, as they look to rebuild under new manager Ange Postecoglou.
Spurs are definitely interested in testing Man United's resolve, however the Red Devils could hold out for a fee of around £60m, and it remains to be seen whether the north London club are willing to go that high.
With the left-winger no longer an automatic pick for England, rivals clubs are monitoring his availability closely.
Should Tottenham sign Sancho?
Although he has not been able to hit the heights expected of him, the former Borussia Dortmund man has shown signs of improvement as the season has progressed, having been hailed as "sensational" by members of the media back in April.
In fact, despite it being a difficult season for the London-born winger, he still managed to record seven goals in all competitions, including six in the Premier League, while he also weighed in with three assists.
Man United's Jadon Sancho
Of course, those numbers are some way off what was expected of the £375k-per-week star, given just how well he performed for Dortmund in the Bundesliga, registering 34 goal contributions in 32 league games in the 2019-20 campaign.
However, a fresh start may be required if Sancho is to reignite his previous form, and he could be a very good signing for Tottenham, although they should not pay £60m for a player who has not been at his best this season.

Dhaka Dynamites couldn’t quite make use of Mosaddek Hossain’s late-order hitting against Rajshahi Kings, but his unbeaten 28-ball 48 came in handy on Saturday as Dhaka Dynamites beat Rangpur Riders by 78 runs in Mirpur.Rangpur, unbeaten in their first two matches, conceded 64 runs in the last five overs. Then, their big-hitters failed to turn up in a chase of 171. They stumbled to 92 for 9, with last man Richard Gleeson absent hurt. Both sides now have two wins in three matches.Mosaddek walked out to bat amidst a collapse – Dhaka slipped from 79 for 1 when Nasir fell for 38, to 80 for 4 when Kumar Sangakkara was out for 29. But he quickly found his grove by cutting Shahid Afridi, going inside-out over cover off Arafat Sunny and then hitting Rubel Hossain for six over point.He added 40 for the fifth-wicket with Shakib and then added 33 with Dwayne Bravo. Such was the confidence as the innings progressed that he even successfully reverse-swept Afridi. Seekkuge Prasanna struck Muktar Ali for two sixes in the last over that went for 16 runs to give Dhaka a flourish at the end.Rangpur’s reply began ominously when Mohammad Shahzad, reprieved at slip off the first ball, whipped Dwayne Bravo for six over midwicket. But Soumya Sarkar and Mohammad Mithun’s dwickets set them back. Nasir then took a tumbling catch running back from mid-off to get rid of Shahzad for 11.Umpire Khalid Mahmud then adjudged Liam Dawson leg-before though replays confirmed that he had inside edged the ball on to his front pad. When Afridi holed out at cover in the 14th over, off Shakib, Rangpur’s chase was all but over at 65 for 5. It continued to go downhill as Naeem Islam fell for a labored 26. Such was the collapse that the game was reduced to a mere formality halfway through the chase.
The recently crowned 2023 Europa Conference League champions are riding the crest of a footballing wave; European success and the mouth-watering prospect of more memorable conquests across the continent for West Ham.
As a result of his monumental triumph, David Moyes could be awarded a lucrative transfer budget to prepare his squad for a third-consecutive season of European football.
With the impending departure of club captain Declan Rice on the horizon, the club will need to reshape its midfield, and Conor Gallagher has emerged as a possible target.
What’s the latest on Conor Gallagher to West Ham?
According to a recent report from Football Transfers, the Chelsea player, alongside James Ward-Prowse and Scott McTominay, have been tipped to fill Rice’s void.
In a previous report by talkSPORT, the Englishman has been valued at around £40m, which would leave the Hammers with a healthy segment of the £120m they are expecting from their captain's sale.
Gallagher’s season has divided many opinions, but a move to the London Stadium could reignite his stuttering career.
What can Gallagher bring to West Ham?
The 23-year-old was in formidable form when he was on loan at Crystal Palace last season. In 34 appearances for Patrick Vieira, the £50k-per-week star registered 11 goal contributions and the highest average rating (7.09) of any Eagles player, as per WhoScored.
Although he has been described as looking like a “fish out of water” during his time at Chelsea, his energy, work rate, and athleticism are infectious, and when his confidence is high he has a keen eye for goal.
This is showcased by the fact that the six-cap international ranks within the top 19% In Europe’s top five leagues among his positional peers for progressive carries and touches in the attacking penalty area per 90, as well as the highest 23% for tackles per 90, according to FBref.
This displays his contribution at both ends of the pitch and an unrelenting willingness to constantly be involved.
His tendency to find himself in offensive positions means he could formidably link up with Jarrod Bowen, who wrote his name into folklore thanks to his last-gasp winner against Fiorentina.
Jarrod Bowen West Ham
It was Bowen’s 40th goal in a West Ham shirt, which is nicely complimented by his 32 assists, and he has emerged as a fountain of productivity and an indispensable component of the progression under Moyes.
As Gallagher largely outstrips Rice in attacking areas, with the Hammers skipper scoring five times this season, this could benefit the winger as the Epsom-born talent will undoubtedly offer him more support going forward.
Described as “fantastic” by his former manager Graham Potter, Gallagher has already proven his top-flight pedigree and deserves a chance in East London to shine alongside his fellow countryman.

According to a BCCI release, Bhuvneshwar Kumar sustained a back strain during the second Test in Kolkata•BCCI
A back strain has ruled Bhuvneshwar Kumar out of the third Test between India and New Zealand in Indore. According to a BCCI release, Bhuvneshwar sustained the injury during the second Test in Kolkata. Shardul Thakur has replaced him in India’s squad.Bhuvneshwar played a key role in India’s 178-run win in Kolkata, taking six wickets in the match including a five-for in the first innings that gave India a decisive 112-run lead. It was his second five-wicket haul in three Test matches. His injury is the second major blow to India’s pace attack in the series. Ishant Sharma has played no part in the series, after being diagnosed with the mosquito-borne viral infection chikungunya.Thakur is yet to play a Test match for India. The Mumbai seamer earned his first call-up to the squad during India’s tour of the West Indies in July-August.
Kevin Pietersen has admitted that he would not be comfortable touring Bangladesh in the current circumstances.
George Dobell26-Aug-2016Kevin Pietersen has admitted that he would not be comfortable touring Bangladesh in the current circumstances.The ECB announced on Thursday that England’s Test and ODI tour of the country would go ahead as planned after assurances from the Bangladesh government. A terrorist attack in Dhaka in July left many dead but a delegation of ECB and PCA officials visited Bangladesh in recent days and concluded that the security measures in place assured the team of safety.But Pietersen says that he would be unwilling to go at present and feels that senior England players, especially those with families, will be equally reluctant.”It’s not somewhere I’d like to be for the next six weeks,” Pietersen told ESPNcricinfo. “The young ODI side might not have too many issues, but the older Test side might have a few issues.”Some of the older guys might have kids and other responsibilities, and might think ‘How can I get out of going to Bangladesh?’ They may think of this as an opportunity to get out of a Bangladesh tour. They’ll be looking at it. I know a lot of journalists don’t want to go to Bangladesh. So it’s going to be tough.”This is going to be one of the hardest decisions Alastair Cook has to make. Would I want to go? No. But I don’t think one guy can pull out. If one goes, you’ve all got to go. It would be difficult to pull out of the tour.”Pietersen was captain of the England team that returned to India in late 2008 after the terrorist attacks in Mumbai. Having originally abandoned the tour during the ODI series, Pietersen was at the forefront of those arguing that the team should return to play the two Test series.But now, as a father of two, he admits it would be a much harder decision. And he accepts that he now has greater sympathy for those players who were originally less keen to return to India – not least Steve Harmison and Andrew Flintoff – due to their responsibilities as parents.Ultimately, the whole squad, including Flintoff and Harmison, returned to India. But there was cynicism from some players over Pietersen’s motives for wanting to return and he feels the episode “damaged a lot of relationships”.”That’s why I’ve said I wasn’t the right person to captain England at the time,” Pietersen said. “I didn’t understand the circumstances of the guys who had kids at that time. I didn’t understand it at all.”I think it damaged a lot of relationships for me with the side and senior players. I wish I wasn’t captain of England at that time.”I did it before I had kids. It makes a huge difference. Your responsibilities change. Your priorities change. It would have been a harder decision.”Pietersen was speaking at Wellington College where his charitable foundation (The KP24 Foundation) is running a residential camp for 70 young people, many of them from ethnic minorities and quite a few refugees fleeing war, identified by county cricket boards and the Chance to Shine charity.”This is about helping kids,” he said. “It’s what I’ve dedicated myself to since I’ve calmed down on my cricketing front. I hope this is my legacy. It’s far more important than a stupid sport.”For more information visit kp24foundation.com
