Leeds United winger Raphinha has been praised for his call to be substituted against West Ham United last weekend by injury expert Ben Dinnery.

The Lowdown: Injury setback

Raphinha has started the 2021/22 campaign in sizzling form with three Premier League goals in six games, half of the tally from his debut top-flight season in England already.

The Brazilian winger picked up a hip injury in the 1-1 draw at Newcastle United two weeks ago and was a doubt for the defeat to David Moyes’ side last Saturday, but he lasted 70 minutes and opened the scoring with a brilliant left-footed strike.

Following the game, Bielsa claimed that the 24-year-old made it known it was becoming difficult to continue and the Leeds manager duly replaced him with Tyler Roberts.

The Latest: Right call

Speaking to Football Insider, injury expert Dinnery has insisted that Raphinha made the right decision to alert the Leeds backroom staff that he wasn’t right to continue.

He said of the White winger: “It’s the right thing to do, absolutely. If you aren’t feeling 100 per cent, do you push on and risk potentially suffering a more serious setback?

“Or do you do the sensible thing and flag that to the medical team and ask to be removed.

“We know Raphinha had problems going into the Newcastle game. There were question marks about whether he would be involved at all.

“He had missed large parts of training due to what Marcelo Bielsa referred to as a ‘hip issue’.

“if he isn’t getting those sessions in on the training pitch, fatigue could be a factor.”

The Verdict: Important for Leeds

With Leeds in the relegation zone in the Premier League and one of five teams without a win in the top flight, having Raphinha fit will be vital for their upcoming games against Watford, Southampton and Wolves.

Last season, the winger created 12 big chances and completed 21.1 passes (72%) and 1.9 dribbles per game in his first season in England (Sofascore), highlighting the importance of his contribution and availability to Bielsa.

If Leeds are to exit their current rut, they will need Raphinha to keep hitting the heights that he has done so far at Elland Road. Dinnery is right to praise the 24-year-old for admitting that he had to come off last week, as playing on could have further aggravated the injury and possibly being ruled out for a lengthy spell.

Um dos principais nomes do Botafogo nesta temporada, o volante Bruno Silva não enfrentará o Fluminense nesta noite. Ele chegou com a delegação alvinegra no Maracanã, mas, de forma surpreendente, acabou deixando o estádio logo em seguida. Marcos Vinícius será o seu substituto dentro do Clássico Vovô.

Segundo o próprio Botafogo, Bruno Silva sentiu dores na posterior da coxa e foi preservado para a sequência da temporada. Em 11 jogos no Brasileirão, Bruno marcou quatro gols, sendo uma das principais armas de ataque do Glorioso.

Robin Uthappa, the Indian batsman, has hopes of making a comeback to the national team for the World Twenty20 to be held in England in June. Uthappa was left out of the Indian team after a relatively disappointing run of performances where he managed just one half-century in his last ten innings and averaged 21.75. However, he has since struck form with a century for Karnataka in their Ranji Trophy match against Andhra, and a couple of impressive knocks while representing South Zone in the Duleep Trophy.”I would love to be part of the second edition of the Twenty20 World Cup,” he told . “It will be great to be again a part of the side that won the first Twenty20 World Cup.”Uthappa, who is currently playing for South Zone in the Deodhar Trophy, is banking on his recent form to win him a place in the competition. He last played for India in the Asia Cup in July 2008. “It’s a process of learning and I am taking it positively. I am taking this time to grow as a cricketer. I am taking this time to understand my batting, bowling and fielding … To contribute to the team more,” he said. “I have been fielding, bowling well and keeping as well. I have been a ‘keeper and can bowl a bit. These are things that will obviously count in a Twenty20 cricket or one-dayers. These are options that I have kept open.”I do feel the pinch that I am not there in the side but am not dejected. Yet, I believe without going down you can’t come up. Greats like Anil Kumble, Rahul Dravid and Sourav Ganguly have gone through the lows. Only because they have gone through the lows that they have come up so hard and high. I believe it’s a matter of time that I will be back in the side.”Uthappa led Karnataka in the Ranji Trophy and has dealt with the additional responsibility reasonably well. His team managed to qualify for the quarter-finals of the tournament, and he ensured the burden of captaincy had a positive impact on his batting. “This Ranji Trophy season has been a very good for me. I have been captaining the side as well as taking responsibility while batting,” he said. “I have to make sure that I need to score every time I go in the middle and give the side a good foundation.”Captaincy is something that has come as a surprise to me and it’s working quite well for me. I am enjoying the responsibility. I worked with Rahul , learnt a lot thing from him [and] Anil .”I have learnt a lot about myself, what my limitations are and how to be successful with those limitations, how do to go about playing in different conditions.”

Charlie Patino could be one step closer to making his long-awaited Arsenal debut after Mikel Arteta suffered a devastating blow to his midfield before the international break.

With Granit Xhaka facing a lengthy spell on the sidelines, the 17-year-old gem – who is widely expected to be Hale End’s ‘next big thing’ – may be handed an opportunity to impress in the first team in the coming months.

The Gunners have seen plenty of young talent develop in recent times, namely the likes of Emile Smith Rowe and Bukayo Saka, who have become two key starters under the Spaniard.

There is a lot to suggest that Patino is next in line, particularly as he could bring shades of Cesc Fabregas back to the Emirates Stadium.

The emerging talent has drawn inspiration from a trio of Arsenal’s former Spanish stars, ranging from the aforementioned Fabregas to Santi Cazorla and the current boss, so it’s no wonder that Barcelona have taken a look at his skillset before.

But that’s hardly a surprise given his father was born in the country.

Patino will turn 18 later this month but he has already been a frequent presence during first-team training, which only goes to show why he could be gifted a golden chance in the absence of Xhaka.

There’s certainly a place up for grabs and he should be unleashed, as a result.

According to Gunners scout Brian Stapleton, Patino is easily one of the best and most talented prospects he’s ever seen. “Of all the years I’ve been scouting, he’s the best kid I’ve ever seen,” he said (via Goal) before later adding:

“Sean O’Connor discovered Jack Wilshere and he said to me that Charlie is the best player who has ever walked through the doors at Hale End. The kid has got so much potential, but he’s not there yet.”

Meanwhile, the club’s former head of recruitment Steve Morrow described him as a “special talent”.

Given his obvious links to Spain and the fact that he’s modelled his game on so many technically-gifted players, Arteta would well find Arsenal’s next Fabregas in the teenage sensation.

Patino is likely to be the next name to follow Smith Rowe and Saka into the senior side.

Não precisava nem do 2 a 0 no jogo de ida, na Ilha do Urubu, para que o Santos tivesse motivação de sobra para vencer o Flamengo, nesta quarta-feira, às 21h45, na Vila Belmiro, pelo jogo de volta das quartas de final. No que depender de Vanderlei e do técnico Levir Culpi, as memórias da Copa do Brasil serão o suficiente para contagiar o elenco em busca da classificação.

O camisa 1 é quem mais tem o Flamengo entalado na garganta desde 2014. Nas oitavas de final da mesma competição naquele ano, ele defendia o Coxa e defendeu três cobranças na série que definiu a classificação. Mas não foi o suficiente, já que seus companheiros desperdiçaram quatro.

-Foi um jogo atípico. Não só pelos pênaltis, mas tínhamos vencido por 3 a 0 na ida. Na volta levamos três, foi conturbado, o juiz deu dois pênaltis contestados. Fiz três defesas e não conseguimos a classificação. Não ficamos felizes, mas foi bacana ajudar. Espero que dessa vez nem precise e que a gente passe no tempo normal – recorda Vanderlei, em entrevista ao L!, antes de falar especificamente do adversário desta quarta.

-Não tem adversário fácil nessa fase. Fizeram 2 a 0 merecidamente. Temos que jogar mais agora, estamos em um grande momento e teremos a torcida nos apoiando. Teremos chance de reverter essa situação – pontua.

O aproveitamento de Vanderlei em penalidades é favorável: nos últimos seis, defendeu três e viu os batedores desperdiçarem os outros três.

Para Levir Culpi, as lembranças são só as boas. Depois do Flamengo ter passado pelo Coritiba de Vanderlei, encontrou o Atlético-MG do atual treinador santista. No primeiro duelo, no Maracanã, venceu pelo mesmo placar: 2 a 0. Mas na volta…

O Flamengo abriu o placar no Mineirão e a vantagem de três gols. Mas com o embalo da torcida, o Galo empatou no primeiro tempo e fez mais três no segundo. Classificação garantida e uma lembrança que ficará com Levir durante toda a vida.

Tanto ficou que o técnico promete usar nesta quarta, no vestiário da Vila Belmiro.

-O que dá para usar, é que é possível. Mais uma vez estou nessa situação. Uma coincidência que pode se repetir. Me lembro das passagens. O time tem que ter alegria e a torcida do lado. A possibilidade aumenta. Se acontecer, será inesquecível. Que possa se repetir. Será que tenho tanta sorte assim? – diz o treinador.

O Peixe precisa de três gols para avançar. Mas antes, da experiência de quem já encarou de frente o Flamengo e venceu.

يواجه نادي اتحاد جدة برئاسة أنمار الحائلي أزمة كبيرة بسبب لاعبه الحالي عبد الرزاق حمدالله تهدد بإيقافه عن قيد الصفقات الجديدة.

وكانت لجنة الاحتراف وأوضاع اللاعبين، التابعة للاتحاد السعودي لكرة القدم أعلنت حرمان الاتحاد من التعاقدات في فترة الانتقالات الشتوية المقبلة بجانب إيقاف حمد الله 4 أشهر وغرامة 300 ألف ريال.

وذلك بالإضافة إلى إيقاف المدير التنفيذي للاتحاد حامد البلوي، 6 أشهر، وغرامة 300 ألف ريال، بجانب إيقاف إداري الاتحاد مشعل السعيد 3 أشهر.

بحسب خبير اللوائح والقوانين في السعودية أحمد الأمير فإن إدارة نادي النصر برئاسة مسلى آل معمر قامت برفع قرارات لجنة الاحتراف في السعودية إلى الاتحاد الدولي لكرة القدم “فيفا” الذي ينظر أيضًا في قضية حمد الله.

وأكد الأمير أنه يتوقع إيقاف اتحاد جدة لفترتين بشكل فوري بداية من هذا الصيف، وليس الميركاتو الشتوي، بسبب تفاوضه مع حمد الله رغم أن عقد اللاعب المغربي مستمر مع النصر لا سيما أن التسجيلات أكدت إدانة اتحاد جدة.

الاتحاد نجح هذا الصيف في حسم 3 صفقات صيفية، بضم أحمد شراحيلي وزكريا هوساوي، بجانب التعاقد مع أجنبي وحيد وهو المصري طارق حامد، في صفقة انتقال مجانية عقب انتهاء تعاقده مع الزمالك.

وكان الاتحاد قد اكتفى بوصافة جدول ترتيب الدوري السعودي في الموسم الماضي، بفارق نقطتين عن الهلال المتوج باللقب للموسم الثالث على التوالي.

Manchester United could sign their ideal heir to Paul Pogba after being continuously linked with a move for AC Milan midfielder Franck Kessie.

What’s the story?

Reports by Italian publication La Gazzetta dello Sport earlier this month (as relayed by Daily Mail), claim the Red Devils have identified the 24-year-old as a possible replacement for Pogba should he decide to depart over the coming months.

The France international has entered the final year of his contract at United and is yet to commit his future to the club, meaning possible replacements are being identified by the Old Trafford hierarchy.

Kessie is in a similar situation to the World Cup winner as his current deal at San Siro is set to expire in under 12 months time, meaning he’s free to negotiate with non-Italian clubs from January.

Previous reports have claimed that the Ivorian wants an €8m (£6.8m) yearly salary – around £132,000-a-week – but Milan are only offering €6.5m (£5.5m), meaning an imminent exit could be on the cards.

Solskjaer would love him

Although Kessie is often deployed as a defensive midfielder and is extremely capable in the position, he is arguably better suited to a more advanced box-to-box role.

The more attack-minded position frees up the £74,000-per-week gem and allows him to maximise his key attributes, while the holding role restricts the influence he can have over proceedings.

And when comparing Kessie’s and Pogba’s underlying numbers for last season, it’s clear there are some striking similarities between the pairs.

As per fbref.com, the Milan maestro recorded 4.4 non-penalty Expected Goals and managed 2.14 Shot-creating actions per 90 compared to Pogba’s tallies of 2.8 and 3.37, respectively.

But the resemblances don’t stop there. While Kessie pulled off a remarkable 76.7% of his dribbles, won 1.23 tackles per 90 and made an average of 5.06 passes into the final third of the pitch, United’s star man put up totals of 61.4%, 1.08 and 5.3.

It’s not just the stats that back up Kessie’s ability to play further up the pitch, though. Former Italy striker Antonio Cassano even compared him to a previous Premier League box-to-box great.

“I want Kessie in my team, he scores, he assists, he has personality, he has quality, he doesn’t lose the ball, he is intelligent. I’m watching him carefully, against Roma, he was devastating,” he said (via MilanLive).

“He reminds me of the Yaya Touré of the best times. He is a different player, but in terms of impact, he is holding Milan’s midfield alone.”

Therefore, United could secure Pogba’s natural successor by snapping Kessie up over the winter window or next summer, providing Solskjaer with a player he would surely love the opportunity to work with.

O clube anunciou que os mesmos ingressos serão aceitos na partida do dia 9. Para aqueles que desejarem ressarcimento, a Ponte Preta ainda não disse qual procedimento deverá ser feito.

Ricky Ponting’s men have been unable to win back the No. 1 one-day international ranking but he believes they can still finish the tour on a high. South Africa claimed the series with a 61-run win in Port Elizabeth on Monday and in doing so confirmed their position at the top of the rankings table.But Australia can make the scoreline a little less lopsided and will fly out with a 3-2 loss if they fight back to win the final ODI in Johannesburg on Friday. It will require a turnaround in form after South Africa’s strong performances but Australia are keen to regain some momentum before heading to the UAE to take on Pakistan.”We weren’t able to do well this time, and the South Africans outplayed us in the last three games in all facets of the game, so they deserve to be where they are,” Ponting said after the Port Elizabeth loss. “We’d like to finish the tour on a high, so hopefully there’ll be a bit of character in the team when the guys pitch up on Friday.”Ponting took a risk by sending South Africa in on Monday but the bowlers struggled to make inroads into the top order. Herschelle Gibbs’ 21st ODI century and an attacking 84 from AB de Villiers left Australia chasing 318 and despite a promising opening stand between Brad Haddin and Michael Clarke Australia fell well short.”Herschelle obviously played beautifully, he played a sensational innings,” Ponting said. “I thought de Villiers was also outstanding. We needed someone at the top to go on and make a big hundred, but we didn’t really have that.”Gibbs finished with 110 and it was his first century since coming back into the side during the one-day series in Australia, following his month-long stay in alcohol rehabilitation. He showed encouraging signs with a 64 at the SCG and in Port Elizabeth finally made use of one of his many starts.”I feel I have been boiling for some time, probably since the third ODI at Sydney,” Gibbs said. “I have probably wanted it too badly which is why it did not come sooner. I knew if I got through the first 15 to 20 overs that I could go all the way. It was an excellent pitch.”South Africa’s captain Graeme Smith said Gibbs had played a sensational innings and it was pleasing to see him cash in on his starts. The teams now head to the Wanderers, the venue of the famous 438 match of three years ago, for the series finale.
