Scott Boland is dealing with “wear and tear” in his knee and is yet to bowl in the second innings of Victoria’s Sheffield Shield match against South Australia where the home side are well placed after a brilliant century from Nic Maddinson.Boland left the field on Saturday after being unable to complete his 17th over on day one at the Junction Oval. He was cleared of any major damage after undergoing a precautionary scan, which revealed “acute inflammatory signs around his patella tendon”.”It’s really just low-grade wear and tear in his knee,” Victoria coach Chris Rogers said on commentary of the Shield match. “It’s nothing too serious.”But Boland didn’t bowl any of the 20 overs as South Australia went to stumps on day two at 66 for 2, trailing Victoria by 49.Victoria took a 115-run first-innings lead after former Test batter Maddinson smashed a century in his first Shield match since rupturing his anterior cruciate ligament in a BBL game on New Year’s Day 2023.Maddinson struggled for form during his return to cricket in the BBL for Melbourne Renegades, but was back to his best in the longer form of the game. The left-hander brought up his 16th first-class century after lunch, pushing Victoria past South Australia’s first-innings total of 173.Maddinson was out for 104, while Sam Harper, who suffered a frightening concussion during the BBL while training with the Melbourne Stars, impressed with 46 in his return match.Allrounder Liam Scott was the pick of the Redbacks bowlers on a hot day in Melbourne, taking 4 for 18 from 12.3 overs.Boland has not played for Australia since the third Test of last year’s Ashes, but has remained around the squad during the summer. The 2021 Boxing Day Test hero was limited to three Big Bash League games after last playing for Victoria in the Shield in November. He did bat on Sunday, making 5.”He hasn’t bowled that much in games recently…it’s a little issue, but he should be fine,” Rogers said.
فجرت تقارير صحفية، مفاجأة قوية منذ قليل، فيما يخص مستقبل لاعب فريق مانشستر سيتي إيلكاي جوندوجان، وإمكانية رحيله في موسم الانتقالات الصيفي الحالي.
ومن المقرر أن تُغلق نافذة الانتقالات الصيفية في إنجلترا بحلول الساعة التاسعة مساءً بتوقيت القاهرة، على عكس المعتاد، حيث كان من المفترض انتهائها منتصف الليل.
وذكرت تقارير صحفية تركية مختلفة، منذ قليل، أن جوندوجان في طريقه للرحيل عن مانشستر سيتي في اليوم الأخير من الميركاتو الصيفي، حيث سينتقل إلى الدوري التركي.

وأوضحت أن جالطة سراي عرض على إيلكاي جوندوجان راتبًا سنويًا قدره 5 ملايين يورو، حيث لا تزال المفاوضات جارية بين الطرفين.
وأفادت بأنه بمجرد أن يتوصل جالطة سراي إلى اتفاق مع جوندوجان حول الشروط الشخصية لصفقة انتقاله، فإن مانشستر سيتي سيوافق على رحيل اللاعب الألماني.
ويمتلك جالطة سراي الوقت الكافي لإتمام صفقة جوندوجان، حيث أن الانتقالات الصيفية في تركيا ممتدة حتى يوم 12 سبتمبر الجاري.
وعاد جوندوجان إلى مانشستر سيتي الصيف الماضي بعدما قضى موسمًا واحدًا فقط في صفوف برشلونة تحت قيادة المدرب تشافي هيرنانديز.
da winzada777： Over the years, Manchester United have made some questionable decisions in the transfer market, many of which have led to the current cost-cutting operating in place at Old Trafford.
da fezbet： Huge money has been splashed by various managers over the years, with the majority of funds being wasted on players who simply aren’t at the level of the Premier League.
Casemiro cost a mammoth £70m back in the summer of 2022, earning £350k-per-week, the highest of any player within the current first-team squad.
The Brazilian pockets £18.2m per season in the North West, a bonkers fee, with the hierarchy needing to part ways with the 33-year-old this summer to prevent losing any further cash.
However, in a time when many deals have been unsuccessful, the club have made a few superb additions, including one player who’s had to bide his time with the Red Devils.
Amad Diallo’s stats at Man Utd
Back in January 2021, United completed a £36m deal to land winger Amad Diallo from Italian side Atalanta, with the fee a huge one given his tender age of just 18.
However, he would make an immediate impact, scoring in the Europa League against AC Milan, but would be sent on multiple loans to gain valuable first-team minutes to continue his development.
The Ivorian linked up with Rangers and Sunderland, notching 14 goals throughout 2022/23 whilst with the Black Cats, often being known for scoring a screamer or two.
Despite returning to the club last season, this year has been his breakthrough year, notching nine goals and seven assists across all competitions, most of which have come under Ruben Amorim.

However, despite his impressive form at Old Trafford to date, the club made a huge mistake offloading a player who was once ahead of the youngster in the pecking order – thriving away from Manchester as a result.
The United star who was ahead of Amad but was sold by Ten Hag
Despite Amad’s progress at United over the last few months, the club have certainly made some huge calls they could live to regret, selling players on the cheap who have gone on to star elsewhere.
Angel Gomes is a player who springs to mind, spending the majority of his youth years at Old Trafford, before departing on a free transfer in the summer of 2020 – now being a full England international – showcasing the mistake the club made in allowing him to leave.
However, they made a similar mistake, allowing Anthony Elanga to depart in the summer of 2023, leaving in a £15m deal to join Nottingham Forest, ending his seven-year spell in the North West.
The Swedish international made 55 appearances for the club’s first-team, often featuring in the senior ranks whilst Amad spent his respective spells out on loan.
Elanga, who has previously been labelled “phenomenal” by journalist Zach Lowy, even scored in the Champions League against Atlético Madrid during the 2021/22 season – showcasing his importance to the first-team.
Manchester United forward Anthony Elanga.
However, after just five starts in the Premier League throughout 2022/23, Erik ten Hag would offload him, a decision that would be a huge mistake given his form this season.
The 22-year-old has notched five goals and nine assists across all competitions this campaign, including a double against Ipswich Town in his last outing – netting the first double of his professional career.
He’s also managed to outperform Amad in numerous key areas throughout the year, showcasing the development he’s made under Nuno Espírito Santo at the City Ground.
His lack of action during his final year in Manchester ultimately led to Ten Hag offloading him, with the winger needing valuable minutes to continue his progression.
You can’t blame the Swede for wanting to move on to take his career to the next level, but now he’s done just that, many around the club must wish he had stayed with the Red Devils, offering Amorim another dimension within the club’s forward line.

O treinador Odair Hellmann terá um longo período para realizar as atividades necessárias para melhorar o desempenho do Santos, que não fez um bom Campeonato Paulista. O Peixe só estreia no Brasileirão no dia 15 de abril, contra o Grêmio, em Porto Alegre.

O tempo livre no calendário também assegura um tempo hábil para recuperar atletas que estão lesionados. No momento, Soteldo, Alex, Sandry, Joaquim, Mendoza e Carabajal possuem problemas físicos ou estão na fase de transição de suas respectivas lesões.

da betsul： Tottenham Hotspur’s long-awaited trophy finally came at the end of this season, but attention has quickly turned to the 2025/26 campaign, with work needing to be done to sustain the success.
da bet sport： Ange Postecoglou led the Lilywhites to a Europa League triumph, but it wasn’t enough to save his job in North London, as Daniel Levy relieved the Aussie of his duties.
He subsequently appointed Thomas Frank, handing the Dane the responsibility of building on the European victory and making the side a competitive Premier League outfit.
He will need to make a quick start to life at the club to prove the owner made the right decision in opting for a change, potentially coming under huge pressure should he fail to deliver.
However, if he is to be a success in the role, he will need backing within the current transfer window, handing him the platform for success during his first season at the helm.
The latest on Spurs’ hunt for new additions this summer
Over the last couple of days, Lyon star Georges Mikautadze has emerged as a key target for Spurs, with the club expected to make an offer for the Georgian forward after their relegation to Ligue 2.
Rodrigo Muniz is another player on their radar this window, but will cost a pretty penny during the off-season, as Fulham are demanding £50m for the Brazilian forward.
However, if either of the players are to move to North London, they will need to be provided with opportunities in the final third, with Xavi Simons a player in their sights, according to GIVEMESPORT.
Their report claims that the RB Leipzig star is keen on a move to the Premier League this window, but the German outfit are demanding a fee in the region of £60m to part with their star man.
It also states that the Lilywhites have registered a keen interest in the 22-year-old, who managed to register 10 goals and seven assists in the Bundesliga this campaign, with contact already taking place as the north Londoners have been ‘updated on Simons’ situation by his representatives’.
Why Spurs’ £60m target would be a better signing than Eze
Over the last couple of years, Crystal Palace star Eberechi Eze has been constantly on Spurs’ radar, but they’ve never been able to complete a deal for his signature.
Crystal Palace's EberechiEzecelebrates with the trophy after winning the FA Cup
This window remains no different, with Frank already targeting the England international and considering making a move to take the star to North London.
His stock is undoubtedly higher this time around, after netting the winner in the FA Cup final this campaign, securing the Eagles’ first major trophy against Manchester City at Wembley.
However, he does currently have a £68m release clause in his contract, but could face huge pressure to land his services, as North London rivals Arsenal have also entered the race.
As a result, the Lilywhites hierarchy should shift their attention to a move for Simons, with the Dutch international a better option for Frank’s outfit this window.
Xavi Simons celebrates
He would provide the side with a younger and cheaper option, but when comparing the pair’s respective figures from 2024/25, he’s also managed to outperform him in key areas – subsequently making him a higher-quality addition.
Simons, who’s been labelled “exceptional” by OptaJohan, has completed more of the passes he’s attempted, and posted more progressive passes per 90 – handing other attackers at the club the chance to bolster their own tallies.

The youngster has also starred with his ball-carrying, registering nearly two times more carries into the final third per 90, showcasing his desire to get forward at any given moment.
Given his age, price tag and difference in figures produced, a deal for Simons should be a no-brainer this window, offering Frank the elite-level talent he craves within the final third.
It would be an expensive addition for the hierarchy, but ultimately, it’s one that’s needed if the club are to reach the next level during the Dane’s tenure at the club.
There’s no denying that Eze is a hugely talented player, but it’s evident that there is a tendency for more expensive fees to be touted for English stars, subsequently making Simons the better option this window.

Bangladesh batter was dropped from the Champions Trophy squad on Sunday morning, and scored a BPL hundred later that day

Litton Das has been out in single digits in six of his last seven ODI innings•BCB
Bangladesh batter Litton Das has accepted that he was dropped from the ODI squad for the 2025 Champions Trophy because of his poor form. Bangladesh announced their squad on Sunday morning and later that day Litton smashed an unbeaten 125 off 55 balls for Dhaka Capital against Durbar Rajshahi in the BPL.”The Champions Trophy selection wasn’t in my control,” Litton said after his performance. “The selectors took the call. They decide whom to play. My job is to perform. I haven’t been able to do that. I think I was a bit upset about it. I have the same mindset before and after the game today. The day has already passed. I have played a good knock but it’s in the past. I start from zero again. I will keep working hard, let’s see what happens next.”I was given a clear message. Maybe not from the selectors but it is easy to find out why I wasn’t picked in the team. I was dropped because I wasn’t performing. There’s nothing to hide about it. Basic, normal.”Related

Litton and Shakib left out of Bangladesh's Champions Trophy squad
Litton hasn’t made it out of single digits in his last seven ODI innings and his previous 50-plus score was in October 2023. “Fans will support me but then when I don’t do well, people will be negative. That’s not really my concern,” he said. “I am focused on what I need to do. I haven’t been playing well, so I need to improve my game. I won’t change overnight, so I have to keep trying. People will love it when I score runs.”I am not out there to prove to anyone. I only look for improvement. I don’t think I was playing well for the last few months. I will try to become more consistent from this point, especially after this innings.”Litton began the BPL season poorly with scores of 31, 0, 2 and 9 before making 73 and 125 not out in consecutive games. The hundred helped Dhaka Capital end a run of six consecutive defeats.His unbeaten 125 contained 10 fours and nine sixes and his 241-run opening stand with Tanzid Hasan was the second highest partnership in men’s T20 cricket. Litton credited Shahin, a member of the Dhaka support staff who has given him throwdowns for years, for helping him out of his rut.”Shahin has been working in the [Dhaka Capital]) team. He has worked with Comilla Victorians for the last three years … He helps me in training all the time, and passes on information from time to time. He is capable of pointing out a batter’s mistake. That’s why I thanked him. But listen, please don’t make a news that he has now become a coach.”Litton believes Dhaka’s 149-run win against Rajshahi will help them perform better in the second half of the BPL season. “We have a good team but we haven’t been able to click so far. I think today was the first time we performed as a unit, both with bat and ball. We still have five matches left. Two teams are at the top, while the rest are around the same points. I think our run rate will improve after this game. We got our rhythm going. I don’t know if we can win the next games, but we feel more confident.”
Maharaj was set to be in the XI for the first ODI against Pakistan but limped off just before the toss

South Africa have been left sweating over the fitness of Keshav Maharaj ahead of their last two Tests of the ongoing World Test Championship 2023-25 cycle. Maharaj was seen limping off during warm-ups ahead of the first ODI against Pakistan on Tuesday because of a groin strain. It is understood that Maharaj was in the XI before he sustained the injury right before the toss and was replaced by Andile Phehlukwayo. He will have a scan on Wednesday.After the three-match ODI series, South Africa face Pakistan in two Tests, needing just one more win to be assured of a top-two finish to qualify for the WTC final next year. Maharaj is a key component of South Africa’s Test side, often their lone specialist spinner in the XI, with Aiden Markram offering support with his part-time offspin. Maharaj bowled them to a win against Sri Lanka in Gqeberha earlier this month, returning 5 for 76 on the last day to trigger a collapse.Related

Fractured toe puts Anrich Nortje out of T20Is against Pakistan
While the severity of Maharaj’s injury is yet to be ascertained, this adds to the long list of injured South Africa bowlers. Anrich Nortje was ruled out with a fractured toe ahead of the T20Is against Pakistan; Gerald Coetzee and Lungi Ngidi are out until January with groin and hip issues respectively; Nandre Burger has been ruled out of the summer with a stress fracture of the lower back; Wiaan Mulder is in a race to be fit for the Boxing Day Test against Pakistan after breaking a finger against Sri Lanka.Dane Piedt and Senuran Muthusamy are the spinners in contention for the Boxing Day Test, if Maharaj is ruled out. Batting allrounder Neil Brand, who bowls left-arm spin, and legspinner Shaun von Berg also made Test appearances this year for South Africa. Left-arm wristspinner Tabraiz Shamsi, who last played first-class cricket in 2021, could be in with an outside chance.

da dobrowin： Arsenal have plenty of time on their hands to bring in stars to strengthen their bid for the Premier League title, but may now face a battle to retain one of their key men, according to a report.
Arsenal closing in on Martin Zubimendi deal
da brdice： In what appears to have become a long-running saga, Arsenal are close to signing Real Sociedad midfielder Martin Zubimendi after the Spain international was in London over the weekend to try and iron out the finer details of his move.
With Thomas Partey set to leave the Gunners on a free transfer amid interest from Fenerbahce and Galatasaray, there is definite scope for Mikel Arteta to reshape his engine room ahead of another campaign where his side are expected to lead the fight on all fronts.
Nevertheless, there is still no clear direction on whether Arsenal will sign Benjamin Sesko or Viktor Gyokeres to lead the line as the financials involved between the club and either RB Leipzig or Sporting remain to be determined.
Of course, the Gunners have plenty of capital to play with in North London, but they need to factor in the best possible way to use it without being short-changed in their hunt for reinforcements.
Taking a measured approach to signings makes a degree of sense, though there is always a sense of impatience among supporters desperate to see new arrivals.

Jorrel Hato is another long-term Arsenal target. Still, there may need to be one or two departures to bankroll their summer spending spree.
Looking ahead to potential events that could occur, the Gunners now have a major decision on their hands involving one of their most important contributors.
Arsenal could face battle to retain Gabriel Martinelli
According to TBR, Arsenal could struggle to retain Gabriel Martinelli after Bayern Munich made contact over a potential move for the Brazil international.
Lodging an enquiry, the Bundesliga champions have tempted the 24-year-old to think about his future, and he is said to be ‘exploring his options’ and hasn’t made a conclusive decision over whether to stay in North London or otherwise.

Labelled “brilliant” by teammate Gabriel Jesus, Saudi Pro League clubs have also expressed an interest in his services, though it feels unlikely that he would opt to leave Europe’s top-five leagues during a relatively early stage in his career.
Enjoying a productive time of things last term, £180,000 per week earner Martinelli registered ten goals and six assists in 51 appearances across all competitions and wouldn’t be easy to replace at the Emirates Stadium.
Intriguingly, Arsenal have looked at Chelsea’s Noni Madueke after missing out on Nico Williams to Barcelona, so there is a possibility that wingers will form a key part of their transfer strategy regardless of the outcome elsewhere.
كشفت صحيفة موندو ديبورتيفو اليوم الأربعاء، عن وجود غضب كبير من قبل إدارة نادي برشلونة على ريال مدريد، وذلك بسبب الأحداث التي تلت الكلاسيكو وما قبلها وفي المباراة نفسها أيضًا.
برشلونة تعرض إلى خسارة الكلاسيكو أمام ريال مدريد بهدفين مقابل هدف واحد يوم الأحد الماضي، ضمن قمة الجولة العاشرة من بطولة الدوري الإسباني للدرجة الأولى على ملعب سانتياجو برنابيو.
لكن الكلاسيكو شهد مناوشات كثيرة قبل المباراة، حيث استفز لامين يامال، جناح برشلونة، جمهور ريال مدريد واتهم الفريق الملكي بكثرة الشكوى والسرقة، في حين سخر حارس مرمى ريال مدريد، تيبو كورتوا، من قضية نيجريرا التي لا يزال البرسا يحاول الخروج منها بسلام.

ووصلت قمة الصراع في الكلاسيكو إلى ما بعد نهاية مباراة الأحد، حيث دخل لامين يامال في شجار مع تيبو كورتوا، حارس مرمى ريال مدريد وفينيسيوس جونيور، وداني كارفاخال.
وأفادت الصحيفة، أن برشلونة يرى أن هناك مبالغة كبيرة في رد فعل ريال مدريد على تصريحات لامين يامال، وأن هناك انتقاداً عنيفاً للغاية يوجه للاعب الشاب.
وأوضحت الصحيفة، أن غضب برشلونة ناتج أنه في المقابل لم يكن هناك أي ردة فعل بعد تصريحات كورتوا الأسبوع الماضي بسبب قضية نيجريرا.
كما أردفت “سبورت”، أن برشلونة غاضب حقًا من جود بيلينجهام، نجم ريال مدريد، حيث قام الدولي الإنجليزي بالصراخ في الكلاسيكو لحكم اللقاء، سيزار سوتو جرادو ، ليقول له: ”ولا حتى مع نيجريرا”.
وجاء اعتراض بيلينجهام على الحكم بحسب موفيستار ، بعد خطأ ارتكبه الدولي الإنجليزي على بيدري.
