Ben Chilwell, a left defender for Chelsea, has suffered a “bad” hamstring injury that would necessitate additional testing, according to manager Mauricio Pochettino. Despite initial optimism over his status, the vice-captain walked off late in Chelsea’s 1-0 triumph over Brighton & Hove Albion and now seems destined for yet another stint on the sidelines. On Monday, Chelsea will play rival Fulham at Craven Cottage, and Pochettino has already confirmed that Chilwell won’t travel. Chilwell’s injury was “bad news,” according to Pochettino. The doctor informed me that although the injury is severe, an evaluation is necessary in the coming days. Pochettino…
During the 2021–2022 season, Smith Rowe established himself as a fan favorite at the Emirates Stadium by tallying ten goals and two assists in 33 Premier League matches. His growth, however, has subsequently been badly limited by injuries. He missed a large portion of Arsenal’s 2022–23 season due to a groin issue, and Gabriel Martinelli has since taken over his preferred left wing position. Smith Rowe, who has one goal in three appearances for England’s senior team, is reportedly desperate for more first-team opportunities this year in order to make Gareth Southgate’s Euro 2024 squad. As a result, if the…
Sergio Ramos, a legendary player for Real Madrid, scored an unlucky own goal on Friday, which was enough to give Barcelona a slim victory over Sevilla. With Girona and Real Madrid scheduled to play each other on Saturday, the victory allows Barcelona to overtake them and take the top spot in La Liga. Barcelona’s aggressive lineup, which included Gavi, Ilkay Gundogan, and Raphinha (yes, that Raphinha) in the middle of the field, nearly yielded results early on when surprise central midfielder Raphinha played a precise pass into the feet of Joao Felix on the left side of the penalty area.…
Pauline Bremer joined a Brighton team that had just finished second-bottom in the English Women’s Super League two weeks after making the final attempt of the 2023 Champions League final, failing to defeat Barcelona’s Sandra Panos as Wolfsburg sought an equalizer in vain. Bremer signed a two-year contract in June, leaving the Bundesliga for Brighton’s seafront in pursuit of a change of scenery. The 27-year-old was drawn in by manager Melissa Phillips’ innovative vision, upward trajectory, and master plan, which she unveiled at the tail end of the previous season. The clinical forward, who has a wealth of experience from…
Ange Postecoglou, the head coach of Tottenham Hotspur, has asserted that his days of supporting Liverpool are in the past and are comparable to his former fondness of the popular television program Happy Days. Postecoglou was born in Greece, but at the age of five, he and his family moved to Australia. During Postecoglou’s formative years, football was far from Australia’s most popular sport, and he acknowledged as much in a recent interview with Football Focus. When talking about his relationship with his father, Postecoglou recalled: “We would watch games late at night, most of which were from England. We…
Although Manchester United aren’t the only side with an injury crisis right now, Erik ten Hag is more worried about the squad’s fitness issues than most managers. The majority of United’s injured players are concentrated in one region of the field. Only five senior defenders are left for Ten Hag to choose from after losing Lisandro Martinez to a foot injury and losing no less than five other defenders, some for lengthy periods of time. Here are some of the choices Ten Hag has. Players hurt include Aaron Wan-Bissaka (hamstring). Having lost Aaron Wan-Bissaka to a hamstring injury, United’s senior…
After FC Barcelona was accused of bribery by Barcelona’s Investigative Court No. 1 as part of the Negreira case, Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti demanded “justice.” On Thursday, a local court document indicated that Barca had been accused of “active bribery” in the case involving remunerations sent to the former referee chief Jose Maria Enriquez Negreira over an 18-year span. It is reported that money was exchanged in order for the club to get special treatment, including DVDs with in-depth analyses of referees’ behavior patterns and written reports. “A continuing crime of active bribery is attributed to them with respect…
Watch Tottenham vs. Liverpool live on Sky Sports Premier League from 5 p.m. on Saturday; kick-off is at 5.30 p.m. Darwin Nunez had a challenging first season at Liverpool, but Jurgen Klopp says he has taken “massive steps” recently, and the figures offer encouragement. In an interview with Sky Sports in February, Darwin Nunez was frank about the difficulty of adjusting to the Premier League. It’s a significant difference, he declared. “The league is stronger and more intense here. It wasn’t as powerful as I had anticipated. The Uruguayan, who cost £85 million, had a challenging first season in England,…
