Pep Guardiola has delivered some early Manchester City team news involving Kyle Walker ahead of their upcoming Champions League semi-final clash against Real Madrid on Wednesday night.

The Lowdown: Injury concerns

The 31-year-old has been out of action for almost a month after sustaining a serious ankle injury in the quarter-finals against Atletico Madrid, and the City manager had even admitted that he was unsure whether his right-back would play again this season.

However, in a surprising update, the 52-year-old shared some positive news and confirmed that Walker has stepped up his rehabilitation; and as a result of the progress made, the right-back could have an outside chance of coming into contention for the game at the Bernabeu.

The Latest: Walker being monitored

Speaking during his pre-match press conference on Tuesday, Guardiola revealed that the 65-cap England international would be carefully monitored between now and kick-off.

He told the media: “Kyle trained today and he will travel. Tomorrow we will decide – he is three weeks without training but we are happy he is back. We will decide tomorrow.

“We will see with Kyle tomorrow how he is after treatment tonight and tomorrow. Then we will decide.”

The Verdict: A pivotal player

Whether or not Walker is named in the starting XI against Carlo Ancelotti’s outfit on Wednesday, knowing that he is nearing a return to action will come as a huge boost for Man City.

The £22.5m-rated star has been a regular starter under Guardiola this term and is a pivotal player in this City side, having made 30 appearances in all competitions, providing two assists in that time and averaging a pass success rate of 88.9%, as per WhoScored.

Once hailed as “one of the best” by ex-Watford striker Troy Deeney, the sooner that Walker is available for selection again the better, particularly with City having been short on defensive options in recent matches.

Com um time cheio de reservas e com o gramado encharcado por conta das fortes chuvas, Santos perdeu por 2 a 1 para o Novorizontino na noite desta quarta-feira, em Novo Horizonte, pela penúltima rodada da primeira fase do Campeonato Paulista. O técnico Jair Ventura foi a campo com um time misto e viu Yuri Alberto, de 16 anos, balançar a rede e Veríssimo ter a infelicidade de marcar contra. O time de Doriva teve um melhor primeiro tempo, mas não conseguiu manter o ritmo no segundo.

ENCHARCOU
A chuva forte e os raios em Novo Horizonte dificultaram a saída de bola das duas equipes. Porém, o Novorizontino foi quem levou a melhor por conhecer o campo e estarem acostumados com o clima chuvoso da cidade.

O gramado encharcou e o Santos teve muita dificuldade em ultrapassar os adversários e criar jogadas. A bola, que pouco rolava, driblava os atletas santistas, que não conseguiram ficar com a redonda por muito tempo nos pés.

NÃO DEU
O Peixe arriscou algumas finalizações, mas viu o Tigre crescer dentro de campo e ter um primeiro tempo superior. Jean Carlos, inclusive, faz belo lançamento para Juninho, que avança e chuta. A bola desvia em Lucas Veríssimo e não dá chances para Vanderlei.

Minutos mais tarde o Peixe por pouco não sofre o segundo. Em cruzamento a bola sobra para Éder, que desperdiça e chuta para fora.

VOLTA POR CIMA
Na segunda etapa o gramado já aparentava melhores condições. Mais seco, a bola rolava normalmente, o que se tornou um problema para os jogadores de Doriva. O Alvinegro cresceu na partida e passou a ficar mais com a bola.

Yuri Alberto, aposta de Jair Ventura no ataque, voltou melhor e foi responsável pelo empate. Em uma bola parada, Dodô deu belo cruzamento e o jovem enfiou a bola para dentro em um rebote do Oliveira.

INFELICIDADE
O empate durou pouco. E o mérito nem foi do Novorizontino. Safira avançou pela direita e arriscou um cruzamento. Lucas Veríssimo, bem posicionado, não conseguiu evitar a explosão em seu ombro e teve a infelicidade de marcar contra.

E não foi apenas o zagueiro que vacilou. Jean Patrick deixou o seu time com um a menos depois de brigar com Anderson Salles, seu companheiro de equipe e ser expulso de campo.

JAIR OUSA
Inicialmente o treinador já apostava em velocidade e agilidade, mas não contava com um gramado encharcado. Com a melhora no segundo tempo, Jair trocou Vecchio, que errou muitos passes e atuou abaixo, por Bueno, e Arthur Gomes por Diogo Vitor.

Vale ressaltar as boas atuações de Alison e Dodô. O volante foi capitão nesta noite e teve atuação impecável: facilidade nos desarmes, cortes precisos e foi participativo. O lateral esquerdo estreou e não deixou a desejar. Mostrou regularidade, bom passe e ajudou na frente.

PERDEU A CHANCE
Nos minutos finais Diogo Vitor arrisca cruzamento da linha de fundo, mas bola sai e gol de Gustavo Henrique é anulado.

O Santos enfrenta o São Bento no próximo domingo, às 17, na Vila Belmiro, pelo Paulista. O Novorizontino tem confronto com o Santro André, no mesmo horário, no estádio Bruno José Daniel, também pelo Paulista.

اقترب قائد منتخب البرتغال، كريستيانو رونالدو، من الرحيل عن قارة أوروبا والانتقال إلى الدوري السعودي في الميركاتو الشتوي خلال شهر يناير 2023، بحسب صحيفة “ماركا” الإسبانية.

ورحل رونالدو عن مانشستر يونايتد بعد اتفاق مع الإدارة بالتراضي على فسخ تعاقده مع تصريحاته النارية التي هاجم فيها الملاك وانتقد وقلل من احترامه للمدرب إريك تين هاج، قبل بداية كأس العالم 2022.

وبحسب صحيفة “ماركا” أن رونالدو اقترب من إبرام اتفاق مع نادي النصر المنافس في الدوري السعودي لمدة موسمين ونصف وسيبلغ راتبه السنوي 200 مليون يورو شامل الإعلانات، أي إجمالي ما سيحصل عليه هناك يصل إلى 500 مليون يورو.

قرر البرتغالي الدولي الرحيل عن قارة أوروبا والانتقال إلى آسيا رغم ضعف المنافسة ولكن من الجانب الاقتصادي سيكون مربحًا للغاية بالنسبة لرونالدو، خاصة أنه ليس هناك أي نادٍ أوروبي يقترب من نفس هذا المبلغ الضخم الذي يعرضه النصر السعودي.

الدوري الأمريكي هو الآخر لا يستطيع منافسة عرض النصر السعودي ماديًا، ولهذا السبب درس رونالدو العرض رغم قلة المستوى الفني بعيدًا عن أداء منتخب السعودية في كأس العالم.

بدأت رغبة الدوري السعودي في استقطاب رونالدو منذ فترة طويلة من خلال تصريحات رئيس اتحاد الكرة، ياسر المسحل، بأنه يريد أن ينتقل البرتغالي إلى مسابقته، حيث يرون أن وجود اللاعب في السعودية سيمنحها تسويقًا كبيرًا في العالم نظرًا لشعبيته الجارفة.

يضم النصر السعودي في الوقت الحالي تحت قيادة مدرب روما وليون الأسبق، رودي جارسيا، أسماء لاعبين مشاهير مثل ديفيد أوسبينا وألفارو جونزاليس، ويسعى إذا ضم رونالدو لاستعادة هيمنته المحلية.

Some critics argue that MS Dhoni is more lucky than good as captain. He doesn’t care; he just keeps winning

Sriram Veera in Johannesburg26-Sep-2010Not sure about familiarity, but success breeds contempt. Throughout this tournament the critics seemed to be waiting for Chennai to stumble so they could have the chance to turn around and say, “Look I told you, these guys were plain lucky. Now they have been exposed”. It’s not so much an anti-team sentiment, but one against their captain MS Dhoni. Many admire his captaincy; some reckon he is pretty lucky.Like most successful teams, Chennai did have their share of luck. They had just five days of preparation but the itinerary allowed them to ease into the groove with two facile wins against the two weaker teams in the competition.In the third game Victoria almost choked but hung on to take the game to a super over where they thumped Chennai. The critics jumped in to savour that moment; Dhoni’s luck ran out,’ they said. He should have given Doug Bollinger that over, they said, calling it a “messy captaincy decision”. Some even speculated that Bollinger had stormed off to the dressing room at the end of that over and that he was not happy with the skipper. The retelling of that story had a malicious glee to it.Dhoni, though, offered a perfectly plausible reason for using Ashwin. “He is used to bowling in the Powerplays. He is an aggressive bowler, he has the variety and he is always ready to bowl whenever you throw the ball to him. He wants to perform; he has grown as a player over the last three IPLs.”Chennai’s next game was against Warriors. There was more ammunition to the ‘he is lucky’ brigade. Warriors chose to play a game within a game; they needed 109 to qualify and didn’t extend themselves too much to try to win the game. They seemed content chasing qualification. The critics said if Warriors to win to qualify, they would have won the game and shoved Chennai out of the tournament. Maybe, and maybe not. We will never know.Luck certainly came their way in the next game in the semi-final against Bangalore. The pre-game talk had revolved around how Dale Steyn would harass the Chennai batsmen with his pace and bounce. He didn’t bowl a single delivery, stumbling off after suffering concussion on the field. It was a freak event. With Steyn’s exit, Bangalore had run out of gunpowder. Game over.That evening Dhoni said Steyn could have made things tricky for his batsmen but that’s not his concern. A reporter said the semi-final was boring. Dhoni’s repartee, “So you think we should have run ourselves out?!” It was said with a smile.Tonight, he was a happy man. He said his plan was to keep the spinners for the middle overs so that they could apply the squeeze, as some of Chennai’s seamers weren’t quick enough to use the semi-new ball effectively. It worked perfectly.Sanjay Manjrekar, the former India batsman, nailed the issue perfectly: “Ajit wadekar was also called a lucky captain but when he became India coach in 1993 I realised he had top leadership quality and you realised why he got the results that he did,” Manjrekar says. “The same thing with Dhoni. He is a guy who does things that are supposed to be done and leaves the rest to fate. He doesn’t try to control everything. That is his greatest strength. If you watch Tendulkar in comparison, he tries to control everything.”Dhoni that way takes lot of pressure off himself and he is someone who makes his players feel very secure. He is not a guy that you see outwardly making brilliant moves but he is quietly he is always encouraging his bowlers. When a bowler is hit for a six and if he has bowled a good ball, you will quietly see Dhoni applauding the bowler. That’s all the bowler needs; that his captain has approved that ball.”At the end of the final, Dhoni was asked for the nth time how he keeps his cool, he said, “There is a dressing room to show your emotions. As a captain, you are as good as your side. This is a very good bunch of people and as a captain you just want to channel all the energy into the same direction. The players put in great effort and frankly it feels very good to be the captain of Chennai Super Kings.”The win was extra-special too, as this will be the last time these particular players turn out for Chennai. “It was indeed a very emotional moment,” Dhoni said. “It was the last game for many of us players as a team. However much you try, we can’t retain all. These three years were great; we played good cricket. You develop a special bonding with each other. The dressing room atmosphere was great; not everybody could get a game but there was no ill feeling. Every one enjoyed each other’s company. To end on a high feels really special.”

Celtic are in a good position to secure the Scottish Premiership title at the end of the season under the management of Ange Postecoglou.

With 33 games played, the Hoops have won 26, drawn four and lost three, putting them six points clear at the top of the league table.

The Bhoys also boast the best attacking and defensive records in the league, with more goals scored than any other side as well as the fewest conceded.

However, moving into the latter stages of the campaign, it seems as though Celtic may have to get through their next round of fixtures without one player who has contributed to both the Hoops’ impressive attacking and defensive output this season.

What’s the news?

According to a recent report from Football Scotland, Josip Juranovic will struggle for fitness before mid-May as a result of a knock he picked up during Celtic’s recent Scottish Cup semi-final defeat against Rangers.

The report also claimed that the full-back is a “major doubt” for the Old Firm Derby between the two Glasgow clubs next month.

Terrible news for Postecoglou

Since arriving at the Parkhead club last summer, the right-back has gone on to make 35 appearances across all competitions for the Bhoys.

Over these outings, the defender has scored five goals and provided two assists, showing what a useful attacking presence he can be in the team.

To further highlight how impressive the Croatian has been for his new club, no other Celtic player has managed to win more tackles (28) in the league than Juranovic, who also has more shots at goal (36) than any other Hoops defender.

This shows just how effective the 26-year-old is up and down the pitch and why it will be a major blow for Postecoglou to potentially have him out of action for the next few weeks.

Moving forward, with the full extent of the defender’s injury is yet to be established, everyone at the Parkhead club will undoubtedly have their fingers crossed that it’s not an overly serious issue, and that he will be able to recover as soon as possible to help his side in their bid secure the league title.

Mashrafe Mortaza, the Bangladesh captain, has been ruled out of the ongoing ODI series against New Zealand due to an ankle injury

ESPNcricinfo staff06-Oct-2010

Mashrafe Mortaza, the Bangladesh captain, has been ruled out of the ongoing ODI series against New Zealand due to an ankle injury. Mortaza turned his ankle during his second over of New Zealand’s chase in the first ODI, was forced off the field and had to watch the match from the sidelines.Bangladesh eventually won the game – truncated due to rain – by nine runs according to the Duckworth-Lewis method. Shakib Al Hasan, who starred in that opening match with a half-century and four wickets, will take over as captain for the remainder of the series.”We have consulted Shakib and he has agreed to captain the side in this series,” Mohammed Jalal Yunus, the BCB Media & Communications Committee Chairman, said. “We have not not decided on a deputy for him and in case he has to leave the field for any reason he will pick the vice-captain.”Seamer Nazmul Hossain was also ruled out due to injury from at least the next two games, prompting the selectors to call in left-arm medium-pacer Syed Rasel and seamer Dolar Mahmud as replacements. Bangladesh lead the five-match series 1-0; the second ODI will be held in Mirpur on October 8.

Tottenham Hotspur are the latest team to be linked with a move for Youri Tielemans ahead of the summer transfer window…

What’s the word?

According to Italian outlet Calciomercato, Spurs are battling Premier League rivals Liverpool and Manchester United, as well as Serie A giants Juventus to his signature.

Just last month, the Telegraph reported that Leicester City would be open to selling the Belgium international for around £25m and that’s somewhat under his true value, with CIES estimating that to be in the region of €50m (£42m), due to his contractual situation.

He’ll be entering the final year of his current £120k-per-week deal this off-season, so it could be the final chance for the Foxes to cash in.

Perfect for Conte

As many around Spurs will now, Tielemans has been a standout star for the Midlands outfit in the Premier League, helping them to their first-ever FA Cup trophy when he bagged the game’s only goal against Champions of Europe, Chelsea, last season.

Once described as an “outrageous talent” by scout Jacek Kulig, the 24-year-old star is capable of adding goals and creativity from a deeper midfield role.

Last season, he provided nine goals and six assists, and has since built on that with ten direct goal contributions across all competitions this season, via Transfermarkt.

[snack-amp-story url= “https://www.footballfancast.com/web-stories/read-the-latest-spurs-news-transfer-rumours-gossip-martinez-dybala-spence-conte-2” title= “Read the latest Spurs news!”]

It’s no wonder The Athletic’s Rob Tanner credits the Belgian dynamo as being Brenden Rodgers’ “creator” despite having the likes of James Maddison in the side, and it’s all the more impressive considering he operates from a much deeper position than the no.10.

Such an ability has earned comparisons to former Chelsea legend Frank Lampard, and it’s that sort of player that manager Antonio Conte would surely love at his disposal.

“He is a phenomenon. There are not many players better than him,” once claimed former Anderlecht and Sweden midfielder Par Zetterberg (via Sky Sports).

Indeed, he currently rates out to be Rodgers’ best player statistically this campaign, averaging a squad-high WhoScored rating of 6.96. He has also averaged 2.3 tackles and 1.4 clearances per game, showing a defensive side to his game too.

This bustling energy and work rate at both ends of the pitch is surely right up the Italian’s street. He may well have Rodrigo Bentancur, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Oliver Skipp but none possess the goalscoring and creating ability of the Foxes sensation.

For just £25m, Spurs could seal quite the bargain in Tielemans.

نفى مانشستر سيتي رواية كريستيانو رونالدو بشأن انتقاله المقترح إلى ملعب الاتحاد، حيث قالت مصادر لشبكة “ESPN” إن ادعاء المهاجم بأن هذه الخطوة كانت “قريبة” غير صحيح.

انضم رونالدو إلى مانشستر يونايتد لفترة ثانية بعد رحيله عن يوفنتوس في 2021، ولكن ليس قبل تكهنات تربط الدولي البرتغالي بالانتقال إلى مانشستر سيتي.

وصرّح رونالدو في مقابلة أن انتقاله إلى مانشستر سيتي كان “قريبًا”، لكن مصادر النادي الإنجليزي أصرت على أن تعليقاته “لا تعكس” اهتمامهم في ذلك الوقت، والذي وصف بأنه “معتدل”.

صرّح رونالدو أيضًا أن تدخل السير أليكس فيرجسون فقط منعه من الانضمام إلى مانشستر سيتي.

وقال رونالدو: “أعتقد أنه كان المفتاح، لقد كان الفارق في تلك اللحظة، لكن لا يمكنني أن أكون مخلصًا إذا كنت سأفعل، لن أقول إن مانشستر سيتي لم يكن قريبًا”.

مضيفًا: “لقد تحدثت مع السير فيرحسون، قال لي من المستحيل بالنسبة لك أن تأتي إلى مانشستر سيتي، وقلت حسنًا”.

وأشار رونالدو: “بصراحة، كان الانضمام إلى السيتي قريبًا … إنه شيء تحدثوا عنه كثيرًا، قال جوارديولا قبل أسبوعين، على ما أعتقد، أنهم حاولوا جاهدين التعاقد معي”.

من المقرر أن يتم بث الجزء الثاني من مقابلة رونالدو اليوم الخميس، مع مصادر أخبرت “ESPN” أن مانشستر يونايتد سينتظر لاكتشاف المدى الكامل لتعليقاته قبل اتخاذ قرار بشأن مستقبله.

مانشستر يونايتد، وفقًا للمصادر، غاضب بالفعل بشأن أجزاء من المقابلة، لا سيما ادعاء رونالدو أنه لم يكن هناك “تقدم” في النادي منذ تقاعد فيرجسون في 2013، وكشفه أنه “لا يحترم” المدرب إريك تين هاج.

رفض يونايتد ادعاء رونالدو بأن ملعبه التدريبي في كارينجتون لم يتم تحديثه منذ مغادرته إلى ريال مدريد في عام 2009، وأصر على استثمار الأموال لتجديد المطعم والمسبح والصالة الرياضية في الأشهر الـ12 الماضية.

قالت مصادر لـESPN إن تين هاج لا يعتقد أنه يستطيع العمل مع رونالدو مرة أخرى، في حين أن غالبية اللاعبين لا يعتقدون أن هناك طريقة للعودة للمهاجم في أولد ترافورد بعد كأس العالم.

ووفقًا للمصادر، فإن مانشستر يونايتد يستعين بالنصائح القانونية حول أفضل السبل للتعامل مع الموقف.

قال أحمد حسام ميدو لاعب ومدرب الزمالك الأسبق، إن قطر نجحت في إبهار العالم خلال تنظيم بطولة كأس العالم 2022.

وأضاف ميدو في تصريحات تلفزيونية ببرنامجه “الريمونتادا”: “قطر نجحت في إبهار العالم في كل شيء خصوصًا على المستوى التنظيمي وتحمل المسؤوليات تجاه ثقافتنا العربية”.

ميدو يضع حلولًا لتطوير الكرة المصرية ويستشهد بالمغرب والسعودية

وأردف: “أوجه التهنئة للمسؤولين في قطر على التمسك بمبادئنا”.

واستكمل: “التقييم الفني للمنتخب القطري قبل كأس العالم كان خاطئًا، كلنا كنا نتمنى أن نراه بشكل أفضل”.

واستطرد: “اتحاد الكرة القطري لم ينجح في اختيار مدرب قوي في كأس العالم، منتخب قطر كان يحتاج لمدير فني يمتلك خبرات كبيرة، اختيار سانشيز كمدرب مخاطرة غير محسوبة”.
