Farke has found Leeds' new Pablo Hernandez & it's not Aaronson

Leeds United is currently the home to various talents who have made their names across Europe before moving to Elland Road over the last couple of seasons.

Brenden Aaronson is just one player who cost big money to secure a move for his signature, costing a fee in the region of £25m during their final season in the Premier League back in 2022/23.

The American has so far failed to demonstrate why the hierarchy forked out such a hefty fee for his signature, struggling to make a real impact under Daniel Farke in recent weeks.

Whilst he scored the opener against Swansea City last weekend, it was only his second goal contribution of the calendar year, struggling to produce any tangible results in their hunt for Championship promotion.

He’s since been unable to match the levels produced by one player who starred in Yorkshire after his own transfer from the Swans multiple years ago.

Pablo Hernandez’s stats for Leeds United

Over the years, Leeds has been the home to countless icons, with Pablo Hernandez undoubtedly cementing himself as a modern-day hero for his heroics at Elland Road.

The Spaniard originally moved on loan from Swansea back in 2016/17, before joining permanently in the January of that campaign after impressing in the first half of the season.

Former Leeds winger Pablo Hernandez.

Such a move would be the springboard for his success with the Whites, with Hernandez going on to register 36 goals and 41 assists from 175 outings, helping the club lift the Championship title at the close of the 2019/20 campaign.

He was a pivotal part of Marcelo Bielsa’s side that season, remaining a key member of the squad the following year as the club ended their long wait for Premier League football.

Whilst he left the club back in 2021, current boss Farke already has his own version of the fan-favourite, playing a vital role in their own ambitions of returning to the top flight.

The player who’s become Farke’s own Hernandez at Leeds

The plethora of attacking talent on the books at Leeds has contributed to their phenomenal attacking record, which has seen them score 78 times in the league this season – by far the highest tally in the division.

Joel Piroe has been central to such a record, netting 15 league goals to date, a tally which is the highest within the current first-team squad – producing key goals at various moments.

The Dutchman arrived in a £10m deal from Swansea back in the summer of 2023, following in Hernandez’s footsteps in joining from the Welsh outfit and having an immediate impact in Yorkshire.

The similarities to Hernandez continue, with the 25-year-old also able to feature in the number ten role, as seen in certain matches this season, with the “superb” star, as dubbed by one analyst, key to the club’s recent success.

During his final Championship campaign in Yorkshire, the Spaniard notched a total of 18 combined goals and assists back in 2019/20 – cementing himself as a key member of Bielsa’s squad.

Piroe has already registered a combined 21 contributions with seven matches remaining this campaign, with any hope of securing promotion potentially down to whether he can continue to produce the goods in the final third.

He’s been subject to criticism in recent times, but it’s safe to say the club wouldn’t be in this current position without his goals, certainly playing a key role in their promotion ambitions.

Whilst it’s unclear whether he will be able to cut it in the Premier League, Piroe has a huge job to catapult the side into the top flight between now and the end of the season.

His goals could provide the difference over the next couple of weeks, with the Dutchman able to cement his place in the Whites’ history books should he produce the goods and fire them back to England’s top-division.

Ipswich Town "monster" open to Portman Road exit as big clubs make contact

An Ipswich Town “monster” looks to be interested in leaving Portman Road this summer after two big clubs made new approaches.

Ipswich Town relegation on the cards despite Chelsea draw

The Tractor Boys look to be on course for an immediate return to the Championship from the Premier League despite holding Chelsea to a 2-2 draw at Stamford Bridge.

Kieran McKenna’s side actually went into half time 2-0 up after goals from Julio Enciso and Ben Johnson, however, an Axel Tuanzebe own goal and a Jadon Sancho equaliser late on ensured the points would be shared.

Ipswich are now 14 points away from safety with just six games remaining, meaning their relegation could be confirmed this weekend if results don’t go their way.

Talking after the draw, McKenna said: “I thought it was a really good game. Really proud of the group again. First half was difficult and our resilience was really good. Second half we played well, really even. It was a big blow them getting a goal so early in second half. It took an incredible strike from Sancho off the bench. We gave everything and showed our quality.”

Relegation could result in a number of Portman Road exits, and one star who looks destined to leave is Liam Delap.

ByCharlie Smith Apr 11, 2025

It has been claimed that if Ipswich drop down to the Championship, his release clause will lower from £40m to £30m, and some big clubs are making moves for his services.

Liam Delap open to Ipswich Town exit to sign for Chelsea

According to a report from TEAMtalk, Chelsea and Man Utd have been making new approaches to sign Delap from Ipswich in recent weeks.

The striker is a top target for the Red Devils, however, it is added that Delap is interested in leaving Ipswich for Champions League football, something Chelsea may be able to offer ahead of the 2025/26 campaign.

Liam Delap

Delap has scored 12 top flight goals this season and has been praised on multiple occasions this season, including from teammate Alex Palmer, who called the forward a “monster”.

“You look at him and he’s a monster. He’s a young lad that’s got the enthusiasm and energy – and also the talent. So for us to have him and him be playing as well as he is at the moment, he’s going to have a big part to play the rest of the season.

“He’s a proper striker, and I think for us as well he’s an outlet. He’s a big physical boy. He’s not huge but he’s got that raw strength. Even build up, he helps us stick and set, so he’s not just a goal scorer. He’s an all-round striker.”

Liverpool in new talks to sign £40m top target who's keen on Man Utd move

Liverpool close to new Salah and Van Dijk deals in boost for Slot

da brwin: The Reds are on course to win the Premier League title in Arne Slot’s first season at Anfield, however, a lot of the talk at Anfield has been on the futures of Trent Alexander-Arnold, Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah.

Alexander-Arnold looks likely to join Real Madrid on a free transfer, although Liverpool have seemingly made progress on keeping both Van Dijk and Salah on Merseyside.

Liverpool stars Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah

Reliable reporter David Ornstein of The Athletic has recently claimed both Van Dijk and Salah are “on the brink of signing two-year extensions” at Liverpool.

“Resolving contract situations regarding key personnel was one of the biggest challenges Richard Hughes inherited when he started work as Liverpool sporting director just over a year ago.

“It’s been a long road but with Salah and Van Dijk on the brink of signing two-year extensions, it will provide the perfect boost for Arne Slot’s side as they close in on being crowned Premier League champions. There has always been confidence internally at Anfield that the duo would stay put.”

There could still be more Anfield departures alongside Alexander-Arnold, though, with Darwin Nunez and Diogo Jota both linked with exits.

Ipswich Town striker Liam Delap has been mooted as a potential attacking addition ahead of Slot’s second season, and a new update has now emerged over a move for the former Manchester City youngster.

Liverpool make new approach for Ipswich star Delap

According to TEAMtalk, Liverpool have made a new approach over a deal for Delap in recent days. The Reds, alongside Chelsea, are keen to get ahead in the race to sign Delap, who has a £40m release clause in his contract. However, should Ipswich suffer relegation, that figure would drop to £30m.

Man Utd are also keen on signing Delap, and the forward is interested in the idea of moving to Old Trafford ahead of the 2025/26 season.

Liverpool see Delap as a top target, though, and he actually shares the same CAA Stellar agency as Reds defender Ibrahima Konate. The 22-year-old has been a shining light for the Tractor Boys this season, scoring an impressive 12 goals in 30 Premier League games.

Delap’s next destination could be one of the transfer sagas of the summer, and by the looks of things, Liverpool and FSG are keen to win the race following this new update.

'Where were you when we were grinding?' – Clint Dempsey criticizes former USMNT teammate Landon Donovan over 2013 sabbatical

Dempsey questioned Donovan's absence ahead of the 2014 World Cup, when the forward took a sabbatical one year out from the competition

Dempsey criticizes Donovan on podcastBrings up 2013 sabbatical, questions former teammateChristian Pulisic's father, Mark, raised similar criticismFollow GOAL on WhatsApp! 🟢📱WHAT HAPPENED?

Clint Dempsey criticized former U.S. men's national team member Landon Donovan for his choice to take a sabbatical away from the game in 2013. The move, which many at the time questioned, ultimately cost Donovan a spot on the 2014 World Cup roster, ex-manager Jurgen Klinsmann confirmed in 2024.

Donovan was absent for 144 days, and on his podcast , Dempsey sounded off on his former teammate.

"The analogy I use is you have the opportunity to go plant the crops, harvest the crops, and then you're sitting at the table it's time to eat, and you're showing up when it's time to eat," he said. "It's kind of like, 'Where were you when we were grinding in the sun, putting that stuff out there, the away games, your back against the wall?'

"I don't know what he was dealing with and what he was going through, but to build your teammates' trust and all that, you've got to go through the wars with them, the battles with them. You've got to be able to look and say, 'Hey, they're not going to flake on you. When your back's against the wall and you need to win, they're going to be right there with you.' So I can't say what the situation was, but that's how I looked at that."

The comments, made last week, echo a recent spotlight on Donovan after he had critcized current USMNT star Christian Pulisic for requesting to skip the Gold Cup due to fatigue.

On a FOX broadcast Sunday, Donovan aimed a dig at Pulisic on-air while Cristiano Ronaldo and Portugal were celebrating their EURO Nations League title.

“This is what it means to represent your country,” Donovan said on air. “If you don’t want to take it seriously as a professional soccer player and someone who gets the opportunity to wear the jersey, then don’t come in.”

He added, “I can’t help but think about our guys on vacation, not wanting to play in the Gold Cup. It’s p*ssing me off.”

Pulisic's father, Mark, responded to Donovan on social media Sunday, bringing up the American's 2013 sabbatical as well while telling him to "look in the mirror."

WHAT DEMPSEY ADDED

Dempsey, however, did agree with Donovan on his remarks about Pulisic's absence. The former striker claiming he "doesn't understand" why the AC Milan star would need a break due to fatigue, one year out from the World Cup.

“I’m a big fan of Christian. I think what he’s been able to do for both club and country has been amazing,” Dempsey said on the podcast. “And in terms of American players playing abroad, him and Antonee Robinson have been the most consistent and the top players in terms of flying that flag for us.

“In terms of his situation, I can’t say what it is. I don’t know the ins and outs of it. But in terms of my situation, when I played in Europe and came back, there were times where I was tired. I had to get a PRP injection in my adductor. I had to maybe rest for some of the friendly games so that I could be fit to play in the tournaments."

Dempsey is one of the most decorated players in U.S. history, winning three Gold Cups and helping the Americans finish as a runner-up in the 2009 Confederations Cup to Brazil.

“Whether it was Gold Cup, whether it was Copa [América], whether it was the Confederations Cup, whether it was the World Cup," he said. "I wasn’t gonna miss competitions. That’s just the kind of guy that I always was. So for me, I don’t understand it because that wasn’t my mentality. I always wanted to play in those games."

Mehidy and Taijul put New Zealand under pressure after Bangladesh fold for 172

Spin took 13 out of the 15 wickets that fell on the first day of the Dhaka Test. New Zealand sunk to 46 for five in response to Bangladesh’s 172 all out, and finished the day on 55 for five as Mehidy Hasan Miraz took three wickets and Taijul Islam two. The Bangladesh spinners gave back what their batters suffered at the hand of the New Zealand spinners.Play was called off at 4:16pm, at least 14 minutes before the scheduled end, as bad light took effect on a murky day in Dhaka. Daryl Mitchell and Glenn Philips remained unbeaten on 12 and 5 respectively after the visitors ended up losing half their side in 49 minutes.Mehidy removed Devon Conway when the left-hander left an arm ball from the offspinner. Taijul removed Tom Latham in the next over, caught behind to a delivery that kept low, caught well by wicketkeeper Nurul Hasan. Taijul struck in his next over too, when Henry Nicholls was caught at mid-on by Shoriful Islam.Related

Mehidy then had two in three balls in the 12th over when Shahadat Hossain took a good catch at short-leg, to remove Kane Williamson. One ball later, Tom Blundell was trapped dead in front of the stumps.New Zealand’s spin trio had earlier led the way as Bangladesh folded for 172. Glenn Phillips, Mitchell Santner and Ajaz Patel took eight wickets between them while Tim Southee took the other one that went to the bowlers. Mushfiqur Rahim, meanwhile, was given out obstructing the field, a dismissal that came at a critical moment for the visitors.Mushfiqur and Shahadat Hossain had only started to resurrect Bangladesh with a 57-run stand after they had fallen to 47 for four, before the 88-Test veteran had a brain-fade moment. Otherwise though, Bangladesh’s batters got out to soft shots as the visitors pounced on the mistakes.Mushfiqur Rahim had steadied Bangladesh before he was out obstructing the field•BCB

Bangladesh lost four wickets each in the day’s first two sessions. The root of the rot was in the sixth over when Bangladesh opener Mahmudul Hasan Joy tried too many things in the day’s first over of spin. Patel started off with deliveries that spun and kept low, to which Joy tried everything including a wild slog.The wicket followed soon after, when Santner had Zakir Hasan top-edging an attempted hoick towards long-on. It took a top-edge, and Williamson took the easy catch at mid-on for eight. Within four balls, Patel had Mahmudul caught at short leg, catching the inside edge with a poke. Mahmadul made 14.Mominul Haque fell caught behind attempting a near-impossible cut shot against Patel. The ball had spun back at him, stayed a tad low, as Mominul, for the second time in this Test series, was caught behind off the inside edge. Glenn Philips had got him in Sylhet, while Patel had him in the first innings in Dhaka.It was clear that batting wasn’t going to be easy on this pitch, so Najmul Hossain Shanto attempted to hit his way out of trouble. It lasted just 14 balls when his third attempt to reverse-sweep ended up in him being pinned lbw by Santner.Mushfiqur and Shahadat batted out the 13 overs before lunch with a little more ease, as Bangladesh went to lunch at 80 for four. Both batters used a bit more commonsense in their approach, which they were also expected to do after lunch.Forty-seven minutes after the break, Mushfiqur did the unthinkable. After he defended a Kyle Jamieson delivery in the 41st over, for reasons best known to him, Mushfiqur tried to pat away the ball that was already a fair distance from his stumps. New Zealand appealed immediately, and the TV umpire obliged with the obstructing the field decision.Mushfiqur made 35 off 83 balls with three fours and a slog-swept six. Shahadat followed him back to the pavilion in another 20 minutes, Phillips having him caught down the leg-side for 31. He struck two fours in his 102-ball stay.Phillips then removed Nurul for seven runs, with the bat turning in his hand as he attempted to hit out at the offspinner. Santner had Mehidy caught at slip for 20, in the over before tea. Phillips added his third when he had Taijul lbw for six, with the batter not attempting a shot.Southee, who didn’t concede a run in his first five overs, took the final wicket in his sixth over, when he had Shoriful Islam caught behind for 10. TV umpire Ahsan Raza decided that Tom Blundell took the catch cleanly after the on-field umpires couldn’t ascertain the legality of the catch.The 15 wickets that fell on Wednesday is the most on the first day of a Test in Bangladesh, while the 13 taken by spinners is the joint-highest along with the India-Australia Indore Test earlier this year.

Desfalques? São Paulo atropela Inter de Limeira em noite de desencantos e golaços e encaminha vaga no Paulistão

MatériaMais Notícias

da bet nacional: Muito se falou no São Paulo após o clássico contra o Santos dos 16 prováveis desfalques da equipe, número de fato excessivo. Pois bem, nada como um adversário que não oferecia grandes resistências para que o técnico Rogério Ceni pudesse usar toda sua criatividade para superar os problemas. Deu certo. E o Tricolor amassou a Inter de Limeira por 5 a 1 na noite desta quarta-feira (15), no Morumbi, pelo Campeonato Paulista, em noite de desencantos, com dois jogadores marcando gols pela primeira vez, e golaços.

O resultado deixa o clube tricolor bem próximo de assegurar matematicamente a sua vaga nas quartas de final do Estadual. A equipe alcançou os 17 pontos, mantém a liderança no Grupo B e abre vantagem considerável para o Guarani, terceiro com 10. A Inter segue com 10 pontos, no terceiro lugar do Grupo A e, sem maiores preocupações com rebaixamento por hora, pode até sonhar com uma vaguinha no mata-mata. O Bragantino, segundo da chave, tem 14 pontos.

da pinnacle
Com o Departamento Médico cheio e sem o titular Luciano, suspenso, Ceni foi pragmático na montagem do time. Apostou em um 4-4-2, com Gabriel Neves ganhando nova chance nos titulares, atuando ao lado de Méndez, enfim experimentado como o volante de saída, e Nestor e Galoppo de meias.

O primeiro tempo, contudo, foi de Wellington Rato. Foi dele a cobrança de escanteio para o primeiro gol são-paulino, de Caio, marcando pela primeira vez, na sua estreia como lateral-esquerdo titular.

Depois foi o próprio Rato que marcou, também pela primeira vez com a camisa são-paulina. No segundo tempo, Galoppo, agora artilheiro de fato do Paulistão, deixou o seu e Pedrinho selou o placar elástico com um verdadeiro golaço. Ainda teve tempo para Pablo Maia mandar a bomba de fora da área e fazer mais um golaço no Morumbi, em placar elástico há muito não visto.

O JOGO

A partida com um esvaziado Morumbi (pelo menos em comparação com jogos anteriores) começou com pressão mandante do Tricolor. Logo aos 4′, Wellington Rato cobrou escanteio na primeira trave e Beraldo desviou de cabeça com veneno para ótima defesa de Léo Vieira.

Em noite de Rato, o ponta cobrou outro escanteio com perigo na primeira trave e encontrou desta vez Alan Franco, que desviou de cabeça e deixou a bola na medida para Caio, pela primeira vez jogando como lateral desde o início, completar de primeira às redes e abrir o placar, aos 14′.

ACORDA TRICOLOR

O primeiro gol parece ter freado um pouco o ímpeto são-paulino. A equipe passou a privilegiar o toque de bola, sem tanta intensidade. O problema, óbvio, era a falta de ritmo de jogo de algumas peças, como Gabriel Neves, e a pouco desenvoltura principalmente pelo lado esquerdo, onde Caio ataca, mas não defende.

Melhor para os visitantes. Aos 23′, Bill recebeu justamente por aquele lado do campo, cortou por dentro, justamente no setor de Neves, e arriscou o chute, que saiu rente à trave. Três minutos depois, o São Paulo não teve a mesma sorte. Zé Mário cobrou escanteio, Douglas dividiu com Beraldo pelo alto, ganhou e desviou para João Paulo, livre na pequena área, aproveitar a sobra e empatar.

PROMESSA DE PASMACEIRA… SÓ QUE NÃO

As coisas seguiam uma monotonia irritante para as arquibancadas. Bola para Nestor ou Galoppo, tentativa de buscar Rato e nada acontece… Foram quase 20 minutos em que a única válvula de escape de um São Paulo com campo de jogo no setor defensivo, mas com uma Inter recuada, teve.

Até aos 42′. Foi quando Nestor recuperou a bola na entrada da área e acionou Calleri. O argentino fez o pivô muito bem executado e encontrou, adivinhem, Wellington Rato que desta vez ao invés de buscar um companheiro decidiu infiltrar e finalizar firme para marcar seu primeiro gol pelo clube e deixar o Tricolor de novo à frente do marcador.

GOLEADA DESENHADA

Tudo o que levava a crer que a etapa final poderia ser até certo ponto monótona como o primeiro tempo foi para o ralo logo aos 3′, quando Galoppo acionou Nestor, viu o companheiro cortar a marcação, chutar e o goleiro Léo defender. Com faro afinado para o gol, o argentino conseguiu recuperar e só finalizar para marcar o terceiro do jogo, o seu sexto no Paulistão, assumindo de vez a artilharia.

A Inter até tentava uma coisa ou outra. Aos 13′, por exemplo, Bill recebeu cruzamento, limpou toda a marcação e chutou para bela defesa de Rafael. Mas a noite era tricolor. Aos 28′, Pedrinho, que entrara pouco antes, recebeu bola na ponta-direita, deu um elástico em Rael, passou como quis, invadiu a área e chutou para marcar um gol de placa no Morumbi e encaminhar a goleada.

MAIS UM GOLAÇO E PLACAR DEFINIDO

O São Paulo até conseguiu bons lances depois, como um gol perdido por Calleri, aos 30′.

Mas, foi aos 40′ que a noite são-paulino ficou perfeita por completa.Pablo Maia carregou a bola com liberdade e soltou uma bomba de muito longe, no ângulo do goleiro Léo Vieira. Golaço para selar de vez a vitória tricolor.

Matthew Mott, England’s white-ball coach, tells the that he hopes to convince Ben Stokes out of ODI retirement: “Jos [Buttler] will probably lead the way on that communication, but Ben’s pretty straight with all of us. We will see if he’s keen.”August 14
report that Stokes will “make a sensational U-turn” and that he has indicated to England’s management that he will be available for the World Cup.August 15
England’s selectors meet in Nottingham, where Buttler is staying ahead of a Hundred fixture. They come up with a 15-man squad for their four-match series against New Zealand, which doubles as their provisional World Cup squad. Jason Roy is pencilled in as Jonny Bairstow’s opening partner, with Dawid Malan as the spare batter.August 16
England announce their squad, with Stokes’ return squeezing Harry Brook out. “That’s the incredibly tough decision we’ve had to make,” Luke Wright, one of the selectors, says of Brook’s omission. “I’m sure he’s disappointed but unfortunately in a 15-man squad, someone’s going to have to miss out.”August 18
Brook hits 44 off 24 balls for Northern Superchargers in the Hundred, 24 hours after Malan was dropped by Trent Rockets. “Obviously it’s disappointing but I can’t do anything about it now,” Brook says. “You’ve just got to move on. I’m trying not to think about it anymore.”August 22
Brook hits 105 not out off 42 balls for Superchargers against Welsh Fire, in a team total of 158 for 7. It is the highest individual score of the men’s Hundred season, and the fastest century in the tournament’s brief history. “I had my gameplan, stuck to it, and thankfully I middled a few,” he says.Harry Brook produced an astonishing century for Northern Superchargers, soon after his World Cup omission•Getty Images

August 25
Buttler leaves the door open for Brook’s return. “There’s still a long time before everyone is meant to get on the plane, so we’ll wait and see what happens,” he says. “We all know Harry’s a fantastic player and we saw what he can do the other night. It’s not like it’s a surprise: we know what a brilliant player he is.”August 27
Roy wins the men’s Hundred with Oval Invincibles, but makes his third duck of the season in the final and finishes the tournament with 154 runs in nine innings. “It was a great moment but then you wake up the next day and you’re like, ‘Sh*t, I’ve got work to do before the World Cup,'” Roy later tells the .August 30
England cruise to victory in the first T20I against New Zealand at Chester-le-Street: Malan makes 54 off 42 balls, and Brook ends 43 not out off 27. Asked if he feels under pressure from Brook, Malan says: “I don’t know where that comparison’s come from… I bat top three and he bats No. 4, 5, 6.”September 1
In the second T20I in Manchester, Malan makes 0 off 4 and Brook whacks 67 off 36, including five fours and five sixes. “Harry played brilliantly,” Buttler says. “[There is] a lot of noise around… credit to him for how he’s handling it.”September 3
Malan scores 2 off 11 in the third T20I at Edgbaston; Brook makes 8 off 8. The publish an interview with Roy, who admits he is unlikely to play international cricket beyond the World Cup: “It’s going to be tough with the 50-over stuff and I’m not in the T20 set-up… do they want to look at the future, which is probably the right thing? Will Jacks is ripe for that job. I’m at ease with it.”Jason Roy made a duck in the Hundred final, to compound his run of low scores•Getty Images

September 5
Malan hits 26 off 21 in the final T20I at Trent Bridge, while Brook makes 4 off 8. Speaking before the game, Mott repeatedly stresses that the squad is only “provisional”, telling Sky Sports: “What I’ve been most impressed by is his response since missing out and that’s what great players do. There’s a lot to play out before we pick that first XI against New Zealand in India and we’ve always said it’s a provisional squad.”September 6
Brook is added to the squad to play New Zealand as batting cover, with Malan’s wife expecting a baby and Bairstow sustaining a shoulder niggle. He is also included in a 13-man squad to play Ireland at the end of the month.September 8
Roy suffers a back spasm in Cardiff on the morning of the first ODI. Malan and Brook open the batting together, putting on 80 in 15 overs. Malan makes 54 off 53, while Brook manages 25 off 41; Liam Livingstone, who would not have played but for Roy’s injury, hits his second ODI fifty.September 10
Malan misses the second ODI at the Ageas Bowl, the day after his son’s birth. Brook opens alongside Bairstow and makes 2 off 12, while Roy is not deemed fit enough to return. Livingstone hits his second half-century in three days to secure his World Cup place.Malan’s ODI form against New Zealand was too good for the selectors to ignore•Getty Images

September 13
Roy suffers another back spasm on the morning of the third ODI. He tries hard to shake it off in the warm-ups but is ruled out. Malan rescues England from 13 for 2 at The Oval, hitting 96 off 95 balls and sharing a stand worth 199 with Ben Stokes – whose 182 breaks Roy’s record for the highest individual ODI innings by an England batter.September 15
Roy fails to convince England that he is fit enough to play in the fourth ODI at Lord’s. “It’s a frustration, and the most frustrated person is Jason,” Buttler says. “He is not quite fit to play a game of cricket today.” Malan hits a sublime 127 off 114 balls, his fifth ODI hundred in 15 months.September 17
England name their finalised World Cup squad, with Brook replacing Roy in the only change from the provisional list.September 18
Wright explains that Malan has leapfrogged Roy as Bairstow’s opening partner, and that Brook’s versatility and fitness gave him the edge over Roy as the spare batter: “It’s been an incredibly tough decision but it shows where we’re at in English cricket, that there are so many tough decisions.”

He’s Cobham’s finest: Chelsea’s 17-year-old superstar must replace Nkunku

da casino: Chelsea fell to defeat at Aston Villa last weekend but have the perfect chance to turn things around on Tuesday night as Enzo Maresca’s men host lowly Southampton in the Premier League.

da esport bet: Though the Blues started on the front foot against Unai Emery’s side and were rewarded for their initiative through Enzo Fernandez’s close-range finish – shout-out to Pedro Neto – the visitors failed to get a firm grip on the match and succumbed to second-half pressure.

Filip Jorgensen’s error in the dying embers allowed Marco Asensio to claim a brace after earlier finishing inside the area, but goalkeeping woes are not the extent of the issues Maresca is currently beset with.

Chelsea have shouldered a tonne of injuries in recent weeks but still need to restore some positive momentum with the business end of the campaign looming large. Indeed, the Blues are only four points off third-place Nottingham Forest.

Chelsea's latest injury news

Trevoh Chalobah was forced off in the early stages against Villa with an apparent back injury but Maresca has allayed fears of a long-term layoff – though Tosin Adarabioyo may have to deputise in his stead against the Saints.

However, the frontline is still going to be depleted for a while, with Noni Madueke and Nicolas Jackson not expected back until after the March international break and 18-year-old striker Marc Guiu also sidelined indefinitely.

Romeo Lavia and Benoit Badiashile’s respective return dates are also unknown, but star centre-back Wesley Fofana still faces up to two months on the sidelines.

The most pressing concern is who Maresca will stick at number nine against Southampton. Chelsea simply have to get three points against the Premier League’s bottom-placed team at Stamford Bridge, but Christopher Nkunku isn’t cutting it.

Chalkboard

Football FanCast’s Chalkboard series presents a tactical discussion from around the global game.

Who Maresca should start at centre-forward

With Jackson and Guiu both sidelined, Maresca has been forced into drafting Nkunku into the focal striking role. The France international is tactically versatile and prefers to play between the lines, feeding off the centre-forward.

Admittedly, Chelsea played him off the left flank against Villa, with Neto deputising in a dynamic middle role and achieving some measure of success, but Nkunku was branded with a 4/10 match rating by GOAL after the match all the same, criticised for his anonymous performance.

Indeed, while he attempted five dribbles (completing two) and made two key passes for his teammates, Nkunku only managed to fire one shot at Emi Martinez all evening, and Maresca may now want to turn toward a more naturally suited option at number nine, even if that means conceding some experience in the process.

He’s not been nearly clinical enough in the Premier League, and with that in mind, Maresca might want to turn to the youth to spark some inspiration back into his flagging frontline.

Shumaira Mheuka is only 17 years old but he’s proven himself to be an able goalscorer for the U18s and U21s this season, posting eight goals and two assists from 22 matches (14 starts).

Moreover, the 6 foot 1 prospect was handed his professional debut during Chelsea’s Conference League match against Astana in December, coming on for roughly 13 minutes during the 3-1 away victory in Guiu’s stead.

He didn’t have much time to assert himself but the teenager did showcase some exciting physical attributes and his eye for goal, unleashing one wayward shot while winning two of his three contested ground duels and also making two tackles, as per Sofascore.

With fixtures passing Nkunku by at the moment, Chelsea may well want to consider making this tweak. No Premier League side have conceded more goals than Southampton’s 61 this term, and Mheuka’s off-the-ball movements, his link-up play, could be exactly what the Stamford Bridge side have been lacking since Jackson picked up an injury.

It would be a bold move – but one which might just pay off given the circumstances. Southampton’s threat has been negligible under Ivan Juric and indeed they have fallen to defeat in eight of their past nine Premier League contests.

Mheuka is the cream of the crop within the west Londoners’ academy set-up at centre-forward, with talent scout Jacek Kulig even hailing the teenager as one of “Cobham’s finest” as he continues to press against the first-team squad.

Maresca is seemingly open to finding alternative means to combat the club’s current injury problems and Mheuka might just fit the bill – named in the matchday squad for the first time in the Premier League during the Villa clash after indeed making his debut in the Conference League.

The natural goalscorer wouldn’t be the first to emerge from the academy and forge a name for themselves at Chelsea, and the timing and opponent up ahead couldn’t be more apt for his manager to unleash him from the outset.

If Cole Palmer can return to his finest form and bounce off the likes of Neto and Fernandez, Mheuka could find himself supplied with plenty of quality as he provides a striker’s take and maybe even pops up with a significant contribution.

Cole Palmer in action for Chelsea

Beyond Southampton, Chelsea only face Leicester City and Arsenal in the top flight before next month’s international break passes into April.

If Chelsea can weather the current storm, they will be in a good position over the final stretch of the 2024/25 campaign. And if Mheuka is given a shot and takes it, the Blues fans might be filled with quite a bit of optimism for the future.

Better than Jorgensen: Chelsea will regret letting "world-class" GK leave

Chelsea goalkeepers Robert Sánchez & Filip Jörgensen continue to endure a miserable season so did the Blues let their best shot-stopper leave on loan?
