Katrina Gorry: West Ham midfielder out for season with ankle injury

Katrina Gorry in action for West Ham United
Katrina Gorry has 105 caps for Australia

West Ham United midfielder Katrina Gorry will miss the remainder of the Women’s Super League season with an ankle injury.

Gorry sustained the injury in the 2-0 defeat by Chelsea last Sunday and left the stadium on crutches.

The 31-year-old requires surgery for the issue and her place in Australia’s Olympic squad is now in doubt.

Gorry, who has 105 caps for her country, says her rehabilitation is her “next challenge”.

The women’s football tournament at the Paris Olympics begins on 24 August.

Australia are already likely to be without captain Sam Kerr for the tournament after the Chelsea forward ruptured her anterior cruciate ligament in January.

“Unfortunately my season with @Westhamwomen has been cut short,” Gorry wrote on Instagram.”I’ve spent the last few days sitting with my emotions and now it’s time to face this next challenge and trust in my body to come back stronger and more in love with the game.”

West Ham are 11th in the WSL and have picked up just four points from their past five matches.

Nottingham Forest: Forget Premier League points deduction, says Nuno Espirito Santo

Published

on

Nuno Espirito Santo has told his Nottingham Forest players to “forget about” the club’s points deduction for breaking financial rules and focus on their battle to avoid relegation.

They are now 18th, one point behind 17th-placed Luton, but have appealed against the decision.

“Who are we to say that is fair or unfair?” manager Nuno said.

“We have to focus on what we have to do, and what we have to do is on the pitch. This is the message: forget about everything and focus on our tasks so we get out of this situation.”

Forest play Crystal Palace at home on Saturday in their first match since the points deduction.

They are the second top-flight team to be punished for PSR breaches after Everton were penalised 10 points in November, which was reduced to six on appeal.

The Toffees, who are 16th and four points clear of Forest, are still awaiting the verdict on a second alleged breach of rules.

Luton winger Andros Townsend said uncertainty created by the points deductions “makes a mockery” of the top flight.

Nuno remains full of belief that his side will still stay up.

“The way we work, the way we play, the togetherness, the commitment of the players – I see it every day and that’s why I’m so confident,” Nuno said.

“It’s in our hands, it’s up to us to reverse the situation and that is to get points on the pitch and this is what we’re going to try on Saturday.

“What we have to do is stick together, everyone at the club, stick together – the back-up of our fans is going to be huge for us – and starting on Saturday at the City Ground, play football and win games.”

Celtic’s Brendan Rodgers to sit out one game but can return for Rangers derby after ban

Published

on

Celtic’s Brendan Rodgers has been given a one-match touchline ban with another suspended, which means he will not miss the forthcoming Old Firm derby.

The Celtic manager complained of “incompetence” and “really poor officiating” in a 2-0 loss away to Hearts earlier this month.

Reviews led to Yang Hyun-jun’s yellow card being upgraded to red and Tomoki Iwata conceding a penalty.

Celtic later had their appeal against Yang’s dismissal rejected.

Rodgers has five days to decide whether to appeal against his own punishment.

During his BBC interview at Tynecastle, Rodgers twice mentioned video assistant referee John Beaton by name, saying VAR interventions meant the game was “refereed outside the field”.

The ruling means the Northern Irishman will be banned from the dugout for Sunday’s trip to Livingston but will be able to return as the defending Scottish champions visit Ibrox for their 7 April city derby against title rivals Rangers.

As well as being missing from dugout against the side sitting bottom of the Premiership, Rodgers will not be allowed access to the dressing room an hour prior to kick-off, or at half-time, and will only be given access 15 minutes after full-time.

The further one-match ban will only come into play should he further breach Scottish FA rules on making comments about the performance of match officials during games.

Un légende français lâche une bombe sur Mbappé : “Il pourrait repousser le Real et aller à…”

Published

on

Un légende français a surpris tout le monde avec ses dernières déclarations.

L’affaire Mbappé continue de faire couler beaucoup d’encre, et ce n’est pas près de s’arrêter dans les prochaines semaines. Le monde du football attend avec impatience que l’attaquant parisien officialise son avenir.

Nasser Al-Khelaïfi et l’émir Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani sont clairement préoccupés par la situation. Ils ne comprennent toujours pas ce qui s’est passé, même si peu de gens osent imaginer un avenir autre que “merengue” pour le natif de Bondy.

L’un d’eux est Robert Pirès, qui a été lié au club madrilène par le passé, sans jamais porter le maillot du Real Madrid, ce dont le joueur de Reims se vante inexplicablement.

Advertisement

“Désolé, Kylian, tu n’étais pas le premier. Je suis le premier à avoir dit non au Real Madrid (rires). Je ne sais pas quelle décision il prendra, mais j’ai refusé le Real parce que j’avais deux autres options. C’est sûr que si je n’avais pas eu Arsenal et la Juve, je serais allé au Real Madrid en courant. C’est sûr”, a déclaré le champion du monde 1998 avec la France.

Mais Robert Pirès ne s’est pas arrêté là. Il a également recommandé à l’attaquant français de choisir Liverpool plutôt que le Real Madrid, ce qui n’a pas plu aux supporters du club merengue.

“A-t-il aujourd’hui une autre possibilité que le Real ? C’est la question. J’aimerais le voir à Liverpool. C’est un grand club, une famille, une bonne structure, pas de pression, des supporters calmes… Et je me dis que Mbappé-Salah peut être assez explosif (…) Je pense qu’il est capable de repousser le Real Madrid”, a conclu l’ancien joueur français.

Sandro Tonali charged by FA for alleged betting rules breaches

Published

Breaking news

Newcastle United midfielder Sandro Tonali has been charged with misconduct by the Football Association for alleged breaches of betting rules.

The 23-year-old is currently serving a 10-month ban issued by the Italian Football Federation (FIGC) in October for breaking betting rules in Italy.

Tonali joined Newcastle from AC Milan in July for £55m.

The FA alleges Tonali broke rules by placing 50 bets on matches between 12 August and 12 October 2023.

“Newcastle United acknowledges a misconduct charge received by Sandro Tonali in respect of alleged breaches of FA Betting Rules,” the club said on Thursday.

“Sandro continues to fully comply with relevant investigations and he retains the club’s full support.”

Tonali was banned by the FIGC for betting on matches involving his teams Brescia and Milan, and Fifa later granted the Italian federation’s request to have the ban extended worldwide.

His current ban means Tonali is not eligible to play again until August and will not feature at Euro 2024.

The Italy international was also fined 20,000 euros (£17,380) and ordered to take part in an eight-month “therapeutic plan” to help “recovery from gambling addiction”.

Tonali had only made 12 appearances for Eddie Howe’s Newcastle side before he was banned.

The midfielder has until 5 April to respond to the FA’s charges.

L’Equipe annonce le départ de Campos du PSG : il partirait avec Mbappé et Florentino le signerait gratuitement

Published

on

L’affaire Mbappé continue de faire des vagues après que le Français a provoqué un séisme à Paris, mais aussi à Madrid, où les supporters du club blanc attendent avec impatience le dénouement de cette histoire.

Nasser Al-Khelaïfi et l’émir Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani sont toujours furieux de ce qui s’est passé avec Mbappé ces derniers temps. Ils espéraient que Kylian Mbappé resterait au club pour un certain temps, ce qui ne sera finalement pas le cas.

Comme on pouvait s’y attendre, cela a déclenché une série d’événements qui font que Luis Campos est sur le point de partir, une situation impensable il y a quelques mois.

“Les chances que Luis Campos parte avec Mbappé à la fin de la saison augmentent de jour en jour. Le directeur sportif portugais a été recruté pour convaincre Mbappé de prolonger son séjour à Paris, ce qu’il n’a pas réussi à faire”, a révélé L’Equipe.

Florentino Pérez et José Ángel Sánchez sont donc très attentifs à cette possibilité, car ils ont toujours souhaité intégrer le Portugais à l’organigramme du Real Madrid.

Luis Campos a déjà travaillé par le passé avec le club madrilène et son président. Si le PSG le chasse du club français, Florentino pourrait le recruter à nouveau ou, du moins, utiliser ses connaissances et ses contacts pour des opérations ponctuelles.

Al-Khelaïfi annonce le transfert de Haaland au Real Madrid : 200 millions d’euros pour son transfert

Published

on

Le président du PSG prépare déjà l’avenir du club parisien sans Kylian Mbappé.

Le mercato estival n’a pas encore commencé, mais le bruit continue de courir, et il ne fera qu’augmenter à mesure que la fin de la saison approche et que les dirigeants européens commencent à penser à la saison 2024-2025.

Nasser Al-Khelaïfi et l’émir Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani se concentrent déjà sur le nouveau projet du PSG, mais ils pourraient à nouveau se retrouver face au Real Madrid, ce qui ne les enchante guère.

Le club parisien craint que Florentino Pérez ne parvienne à réunir Kylian Mbappé et Erling Haaland. C’est pourquoi l’équipe française souhaite recruter le Norvégien cet été en payant sa clause de libération de 200 millions d’euros pour les clubs non anglais.

Advertisement

“Si nous ne le recrutons pas, il ira au Real Madrid en 2025 ou 2026”, a déclaré Nasser Al-Khelaïfi au sein du PSG, lançant l’alerte sur ce qui pourrait se passer dans les années à venir si le président merengue maintient son plan après avoir recruté le joueur de Bondy cet été.

C’est pourquoi les Français veulent recruter Erling Haaland cet été à tout prix, même si le joueur norvégien ne semble pas intéressé à quitter la Premier League pour la Ligue 1, notamment en raison de la différence de niveau entre les deux compétitions.

Florentino Pérez et José Ángel Sánchez sont conscients que cet été sera celui de Kylian Mbappé, mais le chemin tracé pour recruter le géant nordique reste le même, car ils ont confiance en la volonté de l’attaquant de Leeds de signer au Real Madrid et de réussir au stade Santiago Bernabéu.

Premier League fantasy football tips: Mohamed Salah, Erling Haaland, Son Heung-min

Published

on

Alistair Bruce-Ball

The fixture calendar for the rest of the Premier League season is pretty much set so now it’s up to you to decide on your strategy depending on what chips you have left in the game.

We know there are seven teams with a double gameweek 34 – Arsenal, Liverpool, Wolves, Bournemouth, Crystal Palace, Everton and Sheffield United.

Tottenham don’t have a fixture in gameweek 34, which makes things slightly trickier if you don’t have a Free Hit chip, because they will then have two double gameweeks before the end of the season.

Chelsea will also double twice in the last four gameweeks of the season, while Manchester City, Manchester United, Newcastle and Brighton will all have a double gameweek, which is almost certainly going to be in gameweek 37.

Advertisement

Managers who still have their second wildcard available will rightly be debating whether to play it now, either in gameweek 30 or 31, or in gameweek 35 to really attack the last four weeks of the season with a potential Bench Boost in mind for gameweek 37.

If you’ve still got that Free Hit chip then the earlier wildcard could be tempting because you can bring in as many Tottenham and Chelsea players as you like without having to worry about gameweek, 34 when Tottenham blank and Chelsea are away to Arsenal.

I like that strategy because the fixtures look good for both Tottenham and Chelsea in the next few weeks – but if you’ve already used your Free Hit then you might want to hold on to the wildcard until gameweek 35 and focus your transfers on Liverpool and Arsenal in the short-term as we start to build up towards gameweek 34.

Captaincy

Those managers who can get Mohamed Salah into their squads this week will certainly want to consider him for Liverpool’s game against Brighton at Anfield on Sunday as his ownership is relatively low.

Many will be taking a points hit to get him because they can’t afford him in a straight swap or they may decide to wait until next week, which will give those of you who get him on the wildcard a nice little edge.

Advertisement

If you don’t own Salah then I would suggest a Tottenham attacker for their game at home to Luton, preferably Son Heung-Min, or the man I’m looking to as a slightly differential captaincy pick this week in Cole Palmer, who has a home game against Burnley.

Fixtures to target

This is one of those gameweeks when two of the best teams in the Premier League go head-to-head and we own four or five of their players, in this case Manchester City and Arsenal, who face each other at Etihad Stadium on Sunday.

I would be very happy to field my attackers in this game, the likes of Bukayo Saka and Erling Haaland, but I would try to bench my defenders if I could.

Arsenal’s defence has been superb this season and we know all about their prowess at set-pieces so fielding one of Gabriel, William Saliba or Ben White isn’t really too much of a problem, but I wouldn’t want to have two of them in my starting line-up if I could avoid it.

If you’re looking for a defender to bring into your squad this week then Statman Dave and Chris Sutton each had a suggestion in this week’s Fantasy 606 podcast – Dave has gone for Chelsea’s Malo Gusto, while Chris likes the look of Conor Bradley for Liverpool – and both come in at only £4.2 million.

Advertisement

Bradley has the advantage of the double gameweek 34 but if Trent Alexander-Arnold returns to fitness in the next few weeks then he is less likely to start every game. Gusto looks undroppable for Chelsea at the moment and we still don’t know when Reece James may return to action to provide competition for him.

Differentials

Fulham striker Rodrigo Muniz was one of the rare successes in gameweek 29, his two goals in Fulham’s 3-0 win against Tottenham taking his tally to seven goals in his past seven games and his next three matches are against Sheffield United, Nottingham Forest and Newcastle.

He only costs £4.6 million, which also makes him a great makeweight if you’re having to use two transfers to get to Salah this week.

Gamble of the week

We run a listeners’ team on the Fantasy 606 podcast whereby a different listener comes on each week to manage the side. This week’s listener, Alex from Vancouver, has taken the gamble to remove Haaland from the squad to enable the signing of Salah.

Haaland obviously has the tougher fixture this week, he doesn’t have a double like Salah in gameweek 34 and it enables the listeners to have Salah, Son and Saka in their midfield.

Advertisement

It comes down to your budget – if, like me, you can’t afford to have all four of Haaland, Salah, Son and Saka then which one makes way? It’s Son for me, who will be replaced by Salah next week, but I might then have to turn to a cheaper Tottenham attacker to try to fill Son’s boots.

Aberdeen in ‘very final stages’ of new manager search

Published

Aberdeen in ninth in the Premiership after winning at Motherwell last time out
Aberdeen in ninth in the Premiership after winning at Motherwell last time out

Aberdeen are close to finding a new manager but an announcement before Saturday is “unlikely”, admits chief executive Alan Burrows.

The Pittodrie club had said their aim was to make an appointment during the international break, but Peter Leven is now set to continue his second interim spell at home to Ross County.

“The search is ongoing,” chief executive Alan Burrows told RedTV.

“I would like to think it is entering the very final stages.”

Almost two months have passed since Barry Robson became the fourth manager to depart Pittodrie in three years.

Since then Leven has been placed in caretaker charge either side of Neil Warnock’s five-week tenure.

“We had hoped to make an appointment during the international break, that looks unlikely,” added Burrows.

“The reality is that during this part of the process things happen all the time, that sometimes you expect and sometimes you don’t expect, and you have to react.

“There are so many different variables. Some people are in jobs, some aren’t, some are abroad, others aren’t.

“You have to be patient if you believe it’s the right guy. That’s where we are as a board. Don’t panic, don’t risk going to the wrong person. Let’s stick to the outcomes we want to achieve.

“We are still hopeful that the person we have earmarked is someone we can appoint very soon.

“I want to emphasise how important it is we get this appointment right rather than quick.

“While the whole process has gone on longer than anyone had hoped or anticipated, the key focus is to ensure the accuracy of the appointment. That it’s right in the long term.”

Leven steered Aberdeen to a first win in 12 Scottish Premiership games when they beat Motherwell 1-0 in their last outing before the international break.

But they remain just three points above Saturday’s visitors County, who occupy the relegation play-off spot.
