New Borussia Dortmund manager Nuri Sahin has never shied away from Jurgen Klopp’s influence on his career. Sahin began his playing days with Dortmund and rose through the ranks to become a mainstay of Klopp’s successful side. The midfielder made more than 150 appearances and won the Bundesliga under the future Liverpool boss before signing for Real Madrid in 2011. The Turkey international’s time away from Klopp proved to be brief, though, as he returned to Dortmund in 2012, via a short loan spell at Liverpool. Overall, Sahin played 179 games for Klopp before the manager parted ways with Dortmund…

Mikel Arteta, Norway boss Stale Solbakken and Odegaard himself have all provided updates over the last few weeks with conflicting reports emerging as a result.

Novak Djokovic has seen off the Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal rivalry, but he now wants to continue testing himself against the younger generation, according to Mats Wilander. With 22-time Grand Slam winner Nadal announcing his retirement last week, Djokovic will be the last man standing from the Big Three as Federer stepped away from tennis in September 2022. Federer and Nadal initially formed the Big Two as they set several records, but Djokovic became such a dominant figure that it became the Big Three. Novak Djokovic last man standing after Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer retirements Novak Djokovic has…
As Jannik Sinner wonders whether he could still be banned for failing two doping tests, a players’ association is asking the Grand Slams and two main tours to pay for a legal defence fund for athletes. The Professional Tennis Players Association (PTPA) was created in 2019 and aims to increase player power within the sport. It believes the four majors, the men’s ATP Tour and women’s WTA Tour should fund access to third-party lawyers, so financial resources are not a barrier to a speedy and authoritative defence. It would – they argue – make the system fairer for all players…

But now that concern has been compounded by the news that Wataru Endo is not in Japan’s matchday squad for their game against Australia today (Tuesday, kick-off 11:35 UK time). It had been reported that the Reds midfielder could miss the World Cup qualifier in Saitama…
Liverpool forward Cody Gakpo may have had his worst-ever performance for the Netherlands in their 1-0 loss to Germany in the Nations League, blog Football-Oranje has suggested. The Dutch forward had a night to forget in the disappointing loss where Stuttgart forward Jamie Leweling, making his debut, scored the game’s only goal to help Germany close in on a quarter-final spot. Julian Nagelsmann’s side hardly allowed the Netherlands a shot on goal on Monday night and, despite the final scoreline, produced a dominant performance, launching a total of 13 shots compared to the Dutch side’s mere three. Gakpo consistently lost…
