Liverpool will be most likely be without Diogo Jota for the Champions League clash in Germany after the Portugal forward missed the open training session at the AXA Training Ground ahead of the game. The Reds will fly to Germany immediately after for the tie, which takes place on Wednesday night. Jota was substituted after a collision with Chelsea defender Tosin on Sunday afternoon during the 2-1 win over the Londoners, with replacement Darwin Nunez impressing and now expected to feature in Leipzig. Another forward option, Federico Chiesa, remains missing and has now sat out the wins over Bologna and…
Liverpool are being linked with a new forward and centre-back ahead of the January transfer window. The Reds made two signings during the summer with Federico Chiesa and Giorgi Mamardashvili, with the latter spending the season on loan at Valencia. Despite only two players being signed in the summer, Liverpool were linked with adding even more players to their squad. That is now the case for January, where rumours are already beginning to swirl about the players that could be signed by the Reds in the New Year. On the pitch, Liverpool are currently top of the Premier League after…
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta says the injury suffered by defender Riccardo Calafiori during the 1-0 win against Shakhtar Donetsk is “a bit of a worry”. The Italian, who joined from Bologna in a summer deal worth up to £42m, went off in the second half of Tuesday’s Champions League game after seemingly twisting his right knee. Arsenal are already without key attacking players Martin Odegaard and Bukayo Saka, while defender Jurrien Timber is also injured. “He felt something, he could not continue playing,” Arteta said of Calafiori. “It is a bit of a worry.” The Gunners, who are third in…
A few days ago, there was speculation that Novak Djokovic would withdraw from the last Masters 1000 of the year. Now, it has been officially confirmed that the Serbian will not be present at Paris-Bercy, a decision that doesn’t come as a surprise to anyone. Therefore, his absence from the French tournament reinforces the idea that he probably won’t aim for the ATP Finals this 2024 either. Nole could have wrapped up his season after Shanghai and the Six Kings Slam exhibition, as his main goal of the year has already been achieved: the coveted gold at the Olympic Games.…
Rafael Nadal spoke openly about the apparent superiority of Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz compared to the rest of the competitors. In an interview with the newspaper AS, the Spanish player stated that he does not see any other tennis player who could challenge his dominance in the medium term. “There are very good people who can beat them on a given day, but there is no one ready to pose real competition, as long as they stay injury-free,” he said. In this Six Kings Slam 2024, we have been able to see not only the tennis skills of Jannik…
Arsenal bounced back from their weekend defeat by Bournemouth with a 1-0 victory over Shakhtar Donetsk in the Uefa Champions League, courtesy of an own goal by goalkeeper Dmytro Riznyk. Gabriel Martinelli’s shot in the 29th minute ricocheted off the post, struck Riznyk on the back, and trickled over the line, giving the Gunners a deserved lead. Mikel Arteta’s side started brightly, with Riccardo Calafiori missing an early chance to open the scoring. Gabriel Jesus also went close shortly after the goal, only to be denied by a solid save from Riznyk. Despite Arsenal’s dominance, Shakhtar posed a threat on…
Arsenal has been dealt yet another injury worry ahead of Sunday’s clash with Liverpool after Riccardo Calafiori added to Mikel Arteta’s headaches. The Gunners are already without Martin Odegaard and the suspended William Saliba for the visit of Arne Slot’s side at the weekend. Bukayo Saka and Jurrien Timber look to be major doubts as well after missing Tuesday’s Champions League clash with Shakhtar Donetsk. And there was yet more bad news for Arsenal, with Calafiori forced off with what looks to be another injury. The Italian appeared to jar his knee while stretching to make a tackle. After receiving…
Jannik Sinner earned a staggering $9 million after winning all three of his matches at the Six Kings Slam in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, the largest purse in tennis history. The Italian tennis star avenged his earlier loss to Carlos Alcaraz in the China Open final, clinching $6 million for winning the title. On Saturday in Riyadh, Sinner triumphed in a hard-fought match, defeating Alcaraz 6-7, 6-3, 6-3. In addition to his $1.5 million entry fee and $500,000 per match played, Sinner’s total earnings from the three-day event came just shy of his total prize money for the entire year, which…
Liverpool fans might not thank me for looking ahead to the weekend when there’s a pretty important game still to come this evening. The Reds will be looking to make it three wins out of three in the Champions League as they take on RB Leipzig later – your eyes can’t help but wander toward Premier League matters on Sunday though. Arne Slot has not hidden away from the fact that Liverpool’s task is about to get much harder after a near-perfect start to the season. Having seen off Chelsea, an even bigger test awaits at Arsenal – and what…
Both Ibrahima Konate and Dominik Szoboszlai will have to tread carefully for the next 11 Liverpool games to avoid being handed a suspension. The duo were booked in the 2-1 win over Chelsea at the weekend. It takes Konate and Szoboszlai to three yellow cards each for the season so far. Premier League rules mean that five bookings for any player in the first 19 games of the campaign will result in a one-match ban. Both players will therefore have to be careful over the next 11 games to avoid suspension. Two more cautions for either player would see them…
