أصدر نادي برشلونة بيانًا جديدًا، منذ قليل، بشأن حارس مرمى الفريق مارك أندريه تير شتيجن، في ظل الإصابة القوية التي تعرض لها في مباراة الأمس ضد فياريال.

وتلاقى الفريقان في إطار منافسات الجولة السادسة من الدوري الإسباني، حيث فاز برشلونة بخمسة أهداف مقابل هدف.

وتعكر صفو برشلونة بعدما عانى تير شتيجن من إصابة عنيفة على مستوى الركبة، أجبرته على الخروج قبل نهاية الشوط الأول.

وأعلن برشلونة، في بيان صحفي صباح يوم الإثنين، أن تير شتيجن يعاني من قطع في الوتر الرضفي، سيخضع إثرها لعملية جراحية (لمطالعة التفاصيل من هنا).

وفي وقت لاحق، أصدر برشلونة بيانًا جديدًا حيث أعلن من خلاله خضوع الحارس الألماني لعملية جراحية ناجحة في وتر الرضفة في ركبته اليمنى.

وأفاد برشلونة أن الجراحة تمت من خلال الدكتور خوان كارليس مونلو تحت إشراف الخدمات الطبية للنادي الكتالوني في مستشفى برشلونة.

وأكد برشلونة، في البيان نفسه، أن تير شتيجن لن يكون متاحًا للمشاركة حتى يتعافى تمامًا.

Olho nele! Paraguaio abre o placar
O Madureiraaproveitava os espaço nas costas de Tenório e Juninho Monteiro fez uma ótima jogada, cortou para dentro e bateu, mas RicardoGraça afastou o perigo. Depois da parada técnica, Marquinhos Gabriel acionou Cayo Tenórioem profundidade pela direita, e o lateral cruzou, na medida,para Matías Galarza abrir o placar nos Los Larios. Este foi o segundo gol do jovem paraguaio, de 19 anos, no Carioca.

Chances lá e cá
Aos 30, foi a vez do Tricolor Suburbano voltar a assusta. Em cobrança da falta, Breno Calixto bateu no ângulo e obrigou o goleiro Lucão a fazer uma grande defesa. No fim do primeiro tempo, Miranda apareceu no ataque e recebeu na entrada da área. O zagueiro se livrou da marcação e tentou colocar no ângulo de Felipe Lacerda, mas a bola passou rente à trave.

Golaço em Xerém
Na volta do intervalo, o Vasco controlava a partida, mas com menos intensidade. Contudo, foi o Madureira que chegou com perigo após Sillas recebe um lançamento e dividir com o goleiro Lucão. Em boa jogada, Cano recebeu e ajeitou para o lateral Zeca soltar a bomba e marcar um golaço, o primeiro dele com a camisa do Gigante da Colina.

Tricolor Suburbano busca o empate

Poucos minutos depois, em nova cobrança de falta, a defesa do Vasco falhou e o zagueiroMaurício Barbosa, de cabeça, empatou a partida.

Gols perdidos
No fim do jogo, o Vasco buscou o resultado, mas perdeu dois gols feitos. No primeiro deles, Cano recebeu cruzamento na área, dominou, mas pegou muito embaixo da bola e isolou. Em seguida, foi a vez do atacante Vinícius ter uma oportunidade clara e desperdiçar a chance de colocar o time da Cruz de Malta à frente no placar. Com isso, a partida terminou empatada por 2 a 2 em Xerém.

Juventus delighted that Newcastle want to sign their "excellent" player

Newcastle United are bang in the mix for an exciting new addition come the summer transfer window, with his currently club said to be happy for the opportunity to cash in.

Newcastle transfer news

The Magpies continue to be linked with new signings, even though the January transfer window has closed, with summer reinforcements now being looked at by Eddie Howe and Dan Ashworth, following a season that has been disappointing on the whole, with FFP affecting their ability to spend last month.

Hoffenheim midfielder Anton Stach is one player who has been backed to complete a move to St James' Park at the end of the season, being seen as someone who can add further influence in the middle of the park, averaging 3.1 tackles per game in the Bundesliga this season, which is more than any other Newcastle player.

Dan Ashworth speaking with Steve Cooper.

Sheffield United youngster Oliver Arblaster in another player who has been mentioned as a long-term addition, with the 19-year-old spending last season on loan at Port Vale, not to mention winning a combined nine caps for England Under-20s and Under-18s.

These aren't the only Newcastle-related stories doing the rounds, however, and it looks as though an attacking ace could be on the cards, with extra depth needed amid injury problems for Alexander Isak and Callum Wilson.

Newcastle want Matias Soule

According to TuttoMercatoWeb [via Sport Witness], Juventus are pleased that Newcastle are interested in signing Matias Soule, with the Serie A giants watching with "interest and satisfaction" at his progress on loan at Frosinone this season, seeing it as a reason to cash in on him.

Matias Soule for Juventus against Benfica.

Both the Magpies and Crystal Palace are credited with interest in the 20-year-old, and they "could soon make concrete offers" for his services in the summer transfer window. The report says that he is valued at "at least €40m (£34.2m)", so he wouldn't be arriving on the cheap as the Old Lady look to offset some financial issues of their own.

Soule could be looked at as an excellent long-term signing by Newcastle, with his impact at Frosinone outlined by a tally of 10 goals in 21 Serie A appearances this season. Capable of playing up front, off the striker as a number ten or on either wing, he has been hailed by manager Eusebio Di Francesco, who has compared him to Italy attacker Domenico Berardi:

"In certain aspects, he resembles Berardi, but he must learn to shoot on goal more often. He doesn’t lack qualities and has excellent dribbling, but in the game, he needs to be more lucid when making his choices. My thought is that his talent should not be limited; with time and experience, he will improve in many aspects."

Appearances 21 Goals 10 Assists 2 Dribbles per game 3.3 Key passes per game 2.4 Tackles per game 1.3 Pass completion rate 81% Newcastle need to be in a situation where they are planning for both the present and future, and Soule ticks both of those boxes, being experienced enough to make an impact from the off, but also someone who should only get better as the years pass. Newcastle could now sign another top striker as PIF prepare for busy summer

The Magpies could make up for a quiet January transfer window.

Primarily a right-sided forward, it could even be that the Argentine is considered a direct replacement for Miguel Almiron, should the Magpies attacker move on at the end of the season.

Pochettino could drop £29m star after poor showing vs Villa

Chelsea have been one of the biggest spenders in World Football since Todd Boehly took ownership of the club in May 2022.

Since then, the Blues have managed to accrue spending of £1bn on both transfer and loan fees with the hopes of challenging for the Premier League title. This has not yet made much of a difference, as they currently find themselves residing in 11th place.

Last season's results weren't much better either, as Graham Potter's men only managed to get as high as 12th despite massively overhauling their squad.

Although many put this down to the squad needing to gel, their recent performances have left a lot to be desired. For example, in their most recent clash against Aston Villa in the FA Cup, despite coming out on top, a few players could still face the axe ahead of their next clash on Monday evening.

One player in particular is Noni Madueke. The former PSV man joined the club in January 2023 for a fee worth around £29m but since then, he has been in and around the Blues' first-team squad and has played a total of 30 games whilst contributing to six goals.

These statistics aren't the most enthralling and showcase how far off the pace the winger is despite being with the club for over a year now.

Madueke's performance against Villa in numbers

Madueke started the game against Aston Villa but was taken off in the 75th minute. However, before he was taken off, he did manage to create the first goal for the Blues.

That said, according to Sofascore, despite being part of a front three, the winger didn't manage to have a single shot on target. Whereas, Cole Palmer, who was playing as a striker, managed two.

Despite receiving an 8/10 match rating courtesy of Goal, and having a decent game overall, Mauricio Pochettino may be forced to bench the youngster for the foreseeable future.

This is due to no fault of his own, however, the Argentine will be keeping an eye on Christopher Nkunku as he has now returned from injury.

Why Nkunku is likely to replace Madueke

Nkunku was the third-most expensive addition to Chelsea's squad this season, trailing only Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia.

The attacker had been heavily linked throughout the entirety of the 2022/23 season with a move to west London following an impressive outing in his final campaign for RB Leipzig.

Across all competitions last season, the France international managed to contribute to a total of 32 goals in just 36 games for the German side.

This was by far the attackers' most prolific season and, with his versatility of being able to play anywhere across the front three, he was an invaluable member of the squad.

It's this versatility which makes him an ideal replacement for Madueke, as he can interchange with his fellow attackers if and when needed. Additionally, now could be the ideal time to give the England international a rest as Nkunku has recently returned from injury.

Pivotally, despite playing 11 games fewer than Madueke, the 26-year-old only has three fewer goal contributions.

If he could manage to find his attacking prowess once more, he could become an invaluable member of Pochettino's squad. His addition to the side on Monday against Crystal Palace would also allow Palmer to move to his more natural position on either wing. It's a change the manager should be looking to make if he wants to beat the Eagles.

Kent lose unbeaten record as Sussex power to nine-wicket win

Half-centuries for Phil Salt and Laurie Evans steer Sussex to victory after Jofra Archer impresses with ball

Sussex 158 for 1 (Evans 65*, Salt 63*) beat Kent 154 for 8 (Bell-Drummond 50, Mills 3-23) by nine wicketsVitality Blast leaders Kent Spitfires lost their maximum record when they were outplayed by Sussex Sharks at Hove. The Sharks, who themselves are unbeaten in the competition, moved to second place in the South Group table with this emphatic victory by nine wickets with four overs remaining.Chasing 155, Sussex got off to a fine start when Luke Wright and Phil Salt powerd 38 runs off the first four overs before Wright was bowled by Adam Milne with the last ball of the fifth over for 24 off 18 balls.Sussex were looking strong at 81 for 1 at the halfway stage, with Salt leading the charge with an unbeaten 40. But in the final stages even Salt’s destructive batting was overtaken by Laurie Evans, who hit Fred Klaasen for 16 in three deliveries. Evans finished with 65 not out from 35 deliveries, with six fours and three sixes, while Salt’s unbeaten 63 from 44 ball included six fours and two sixes.Jofra Archer, keen to prove his fitness for the second Ashes Test against Australia at Lord’s, returned for the Sharks and so did Chris Jordan, replacing Reece Topley, who was not 100% fit.Archer, who will also play for Sussex 2nd XI in a three-day match against Gloucestershire at Blackstone, starting on Tuesday, went for 20 in his first two overs. But Jordan broke through for the Sharks in the third over when his offcutter hit the top of the dangerous Zak Crawley’s off stump.Daniel Bell-Drummond responded by hitting Jordan for successive sixes over square-leg as Kent raced to 52 after five overs before some tight bowling by Tymal Mills, who dismissed Ollie Robinson and Heino Kuhn in successive overs, and Rashid Khan, who bowled Bell-Drummond with a googly for 50, gave the Sharks some control in the middle overs.When Archer returned to bowl the 17th over, with the Spitfires 130 for 5, he conceded just three runs. And in the next over Mills dismissed the dangerous Mohammad Nabi for a 29-ball 43. In his final over, Archer conceded just five runs and had Milne caught in the deep by Phil Salt to finish with figures of 1 for 28 from his four overs.

Cameron Bancroft beats a path to selectors' door with determined 93*

Defining innings of low scoring scrap gives opener good chance of being named in Ashes squad

Cameron Bancroft’s fifty sealed victory•Getty Images

Hick XII 120 and 156 for 5 (Bancroft 93*) beat Haddin XII 105 and 170 by 6 wicketsCameron Bancroft inched his way to the defining innings of a low-scoring scrap in Southampton to give himself the best possible chance of being named in Australia’s Ashes squad on Friday, and also help the Hick XII to victory over the Haddin XII in an internal trial match played on a dicey pitch.All the qualities that saw Bancroft first picked for Australia in 2017 – dogged defence, absorption of quality bowling and a limited game around which others can blossom – were on display as he posted the highest score of the match, an undefeated 93 from 194 studious balls. David Warner, who may now be reunited with Bancroft as openers, made the only other half century, while Marnus Labuschagne’s 41 on the first day was also noteworthy.Thanks to Bancroft, the chase was negotiated effectively, as Josh Hazlewood, Mitchell Starc and Jon Holland were unable to force their way through, and the Test captain Tim Paine was at the crease to help knock off the last 22 runs required. Pat Cummins, having bowled so well on the first two days, was spelled from the attack ahead of the first Test against England in Birmingham next week.Mitchell Marsh also made a useful partner for Bancroft in a stand worth 54, with scores of 29 and 23 plus 5 for 34 amounting to a significant allround contribution. Bancroft, Labuschagne, Marsh James Pattinson (4 for 35 from 23 overs for the match) and Peter Siddle (5 for 45 from 24) were the fringe players to acquit themselves best in this fixture, providing the selectors Trevor Hohns and Justin Langer with the final pieces of information for their squad deliberations.At the same time, Kurtis Patterson, Joe Burns, Matthew Wade and Pete Handscomb would have been disappointed not to make their mark in what were admittedly very difficult climes for batsmen. Any umpire marking the surface were it a formal first-class fixture would have been hard-pressed to give the pitch a passing grade. Low scores for Steven Smith and Travis Head compounded the sense that Australia’s batsmen will be undercooked for Edgbaston next week.Even so, the match figures returned by Starc (1 for 79 from 22 overs) and Hazlewood (2 for 56 from 24) will cause further contemplation by Hohns and Langer as to the best balance of the Australian bowling attack for Edgbaston. Starc, who was taken for a precautionary knee scan on Wednesday, bowled with high pace at times, but was blunted consistently by Bancroft, only taking his first wicket of the game when it was very near the finish.
