Leeds United have suffered another injury blow ahead of their Premier League game against Chelsea on Saturday afternoon.

What’s the story?

Having been sidelined previously, Patrick Bamford admitted that his recovery from injury was dragging out longer than he initially expected, revealing: “It’s okay. It’s a little bit slow. It is (getting better), day by day. It’s just taking a little bit longer than I first thought.

“I think the thing that has got under my skin a little bit this time is that I anticipated I would be back in four weeks and the fact that it has taken longer than that is a little bit hard to get my head around. But now I am seeing improvements.”However, following his comeback and last-gasp equaliser against Brentford last week, it appears that his return has been very much short-lived, with a statement on the club’s website calling into doubt his status for the match at Stamford Bridge today.It read: “Patrick Bamford suffered a hamstring injury during last Sunday’s Premier League game against Brentford at Elland Road. The evolution of the injury is subject to daily assessment.”Huge blowGiven that Bamford was Leeds’ top scorer last season with 17 goals, it’s no surprise that the Whites have really struggled in the final third to start this Premier League campaign – they’ve managed just 15 goals from their opening 15 top-flight games in 2021/22.Former Leeds striker Noel Whelan recently voiced his concern about the kind of impact that Bamford’s absence from this side would have. He said: “It was one of my biggest fears. How can we live life without Patrick playing from when he’s the one player that really strings everything together up front?”He runs in behind, he runs the channels, takes centre-halves out of positions. His energy, his work right across the backline in the opposition’s defence. There’s not a player like him at the club. That was my worry, if anything did happen, which it has done now. We have seen that difficult side of the game going forward.”The £35k-a-week earner’s absence is a massive blow just a week after marking his return with a priceless goal. not least with Leeds travelling to face one of the Premier League title contenders in Chelsea.Meanwhile, Marcelo Bielsa must finally give this starlet a chance…

Daniel Vettori, trying to regroup his troops after being bowled out for 99, said there was still time in the Test to stage a comeback

Cricinfo staff04-Dec-2009

Daniel Vettori, trying to regroup his troops after New Zealand were bowled out for 99, has said there was still time in the Test to stage a comeback. New Zealand conceded a 165-run first-innings lead to Pakistan after being bowled out inside 37 overs on day two in Wellington.”Obviously the batting display, to only put 100 runs on the board, is not where we want to be,” Vettori said. “It’s a really tough day, particularly with how we played in Dunedin, to back it up with a performance like that is tough. But there’s a lot of time left in the game and we’ve got to make sure that we don’t give it up now.”New Zealand lead the series 1-0 after beating Pakistan in Dunedin. They scored 429 in the first innings but were bowled out for 153 in the second. However Shane Bond and Iain O’Brien managed to bowl out Pakistan for 218 in their chase of 251.Vettori said a target of 400 would not be impossible to chase and mentioned New Zealand scoring 431 in an unsuccessful chase of England’s 553 in Napier last year. He said the top-order batsmen would have to step up but added there was no need for them to change their technique against the Pakistan bowlers after the first-innings collapse.”The only thing we can do is try and be as confident as possible. We all know they [batsmen] are good players, they all have runs at Test-match level and they’re going to get an opportunity on a good deck come the fourth day, or hopefully tomorrow at some stage. They’ve got to believe and we’ve got to believe in them.”Mohammad Asif, the Pakistan fast bowler who took four wickets in the innings to take his series tally to 12, said 400 would be a good total for his side. New Zealand began their innings just before lunch and lost their first wicket in the first over when Mohammad Aamer had Martin Guptill caught for a duck. They lost three more wickets in the second session, going into tea at 77 for 4. In the first ten overs of the final session they lost their last six wickets for 22 runs. But Asif said the pitch did not greatly favour the bowlers. “The pitch didn’t do a lot actually but if you bowl in the right area there is something happening.”

O empate em 1 a 1 com o Grêmio não aliviou a situação do Avaí no Campeonato Brasileiro. Apesar do ponto conquistado, a equipe segue na zona de rebaixamento, com 35 pontos. Diante do Tricolor Gaúcho, o Leão conseguiu realizar boas jogadas e, apesar do resultado não faltou entrega da equipe em campo, como afirma o lateral-esquerdo João Paulo.

– Claro que gostaríamos de ter vencido e saído da zona de rebaixamento, mas valeu a entrega de todos e o comprometimento do grupo durante os noventa minutos. Fizemos um jogo de muita intensidade, diante de um adversário muito forte. Agora é continuar trabalhando visando esses últimos jogos da temporada – explicou.

Ainda de acordo com o jogador, não há tempo para lamentar o resultado e o foco do Avaí agora é na partida contra o Coritiba, que acontece no próximo sábado, às 21h, no Couto Pereira.

– Vamos focar tudo na decisão que teremos contra o Coritiba na próxima rodada da Série A. Será uma das partidas mais importantes do ano, sem dúvida. Precisamos fazer uma partida de muita intensidade novamente para sairmos de lá com um grande resultado – finalizou.

Uma opção a mais. O meia Leonardo Valencia se recuperou das dores no pé direito e está relacionado para o jogo do Botafogo contra o Corinthians, nesta segunda-feira. Deste modo, ele deve começar a partida no banco de reservas e ser opção para entrar no decorrer da partida.

É a primeira vez que o chileno fica à disposição desde que foi expulso, contra o Vitória, no dia 1º deste mês de outubro. Desde então, ele pegou quatro jogos de gancho pelo Superior Tribunal de Justiça Desportiva (STJD), recebeu efeito suspensivo para aguardar livre um novo julgamento, mas também não jogou.

Convocado para a seleção chilena, ele já não estava em plenas condições físicas. Quando retornou, as dores no pé direito ainda não haviam regredido. Por isso ele não ficou à disposição contra Vasco e Avaí, dois últimos adversários do Botafogo no Campeonato Brasileiro.

Aos 26 anos, Valencia foi contratado após destaque no futebol de seu país natal. No Glorioso, parece adaptado, mas ainda procura o primeiro gol.

ذكرت تقارير صحفية أن ماركوس راشفورد، لاعب مانشستر يونايتد، قد يكون لائقًا لمباراة الديربي ضد مانشستر سيتي مطلع الشهر المقبل.

غاب راشفورد عن آخر مباراتين بعد تعرضه لإصابة عضلية في الفوز 3-1 على آرسنال قبل أسبوعين.

لكن شبكة “إسبن” العالمية، ذكرت أن الشياطين الحمر يأملون في أن يكون اللاعب البالغ من العمر 24 عامًا متاحًا لمواجهة مانشستر سيتي في 2 أكتوبر.

وبدأ راشفورد بشكل قوي في الموسم الحالي، حيث سجل 3 أهداف في آخر 4 مباريات له قبل إصابته.

يُقال إن الطاقم الطبي بالنادي يعتقد أن الإصابة ليست خطيرة، ويمكن للمهاجم العودة إلى التدريبات مع بقية الفريق الأول في يونايتد، في وقت مبكر من الأسبوع المقبل.

في حين أن الأخبار حول راشفورد إيجابية، فإن مسؤولي يونايتد يتوخون الحذر أكثر مع أنتوني مارسيال، الذي غاب عن الملاعب منذ أغسطس بسبب إصابة في وتر العرقوب.

اللاعب البالغ من العمر 26 عامًا، والذي عاد إلى النادي في الصيف بعد انتقاله على سبيل الإعارة إلى إشبيلية في النصف الثاني من الموسم الماضي، ظهر مرة واحدة فقط تحت قيادة إريك تن هاج، حيث قدم تمريرة حاسمة في الفوز 2-1 على ليفربول.

تعافى من مشكلة في أوتار الركبة في وقت سابق من الموسم، ومع ذلك فقد قيل إن إصابات أخيل يمكن أن تصبح مشكلة إذا لم يُسمح لها بالراحة.

سيحرص يونايتد على أن يكون لائقًا وجاهزًا مرة أخرى بعد فترة التوقف الدولية، حيث يأمل تين هاج أن يتمكن فريقه من مواصلة مسيرته القوية.

India achieved their biggest victory against Sri Lanka and in the process clinched their 100th Test win on the fourth day of the second Test in Kanpur

India achieved their biggest victory against Sri Lanka and in the process clinched their 100th Test win on the fourth day of the second Test in Kanpur. India’s previous best against their neighbors was a victory by an innings and 119 runs in 1994 and they bettered that with ease today. Thilan Samaraweera resisted the inevitable with an assured fifty but it was always just a matter of time before India wrapped up the game.The only question at the start of the day was how long Sri Lanka would delay defeat. They batted positively, adding 149 runs in the first session, but India kept taking wickets at regular intervals. Samaraweera was involved in two fighting partnerships with Prasanna Jayawardene and Ajantha Mendis, which not only proved that the pitch wasn’t bad for batting but also showed the top order in poor light.India’s only concern was Zaheer Khan’s no-ball problems (12 in this game and 21 in the series) but he started the day by dismissing Angelo Mathews in his first over. Mathews had hit three consecutive fours, which included a pull, and Zaheer placed a man at deep square-leg and tested Mathews with more bouncers. The first was fended off in an ungainly manner and the next was top-edged to backward point where Rahul Dravid took a lunging catch.Samaraweera proceeded to stitch together a 61-run partnership with Prasanna who, much like in the first innings, flattered to deceive. He was looking good with his cuts and sweeps but was cleaned up by an off break from round the stumps from Harbhajan Singh. It drifted away and broke back in but Prasanna left a big bat-pad gap and was bowled. Muttiah Muralitharan indulged himself with a typical hit-and-giggle knock filled with slog sweeps but fell, going for yet another big hit.Samaraweera, who then added 73 runs with a determined Ajantha Mendis to frustrate India, was rarely troubled during his stay, the highlight of which was a whippy on-drive to a delivery on off and middle stump from Sreesanth. He rarely looked hurried, tackled the spinners and seamers and unfurled several pleasing on drives. The series now moves to Mumbai for the third Test that starts on December 2.

Moving on from their 1-0 defeat against Liverpool at the weekend, Aston Villa are on their travels once again with a trip to Carrow Road to face Norwich City, pitting Steven Gerrard against former Villa manager Dean Smith.

On the chalkboard

In terms of which players Gerrard could pick to be in his starting XI on this occasion, one player that got some minutes under his belt in the defeat at Anfield that should be in the team from the beginning to take on the Canaries is Morgan Sanson.

After replacing Marvelous Nakamba in the 57th minute against Liverpool, Sanson managed to show to Gerrard what a useful midfield option he can be for Villa.

With 32 touches of the ball, Sanson completed nine passes, complete all three of the dribbles he attempted, win six duels and make two tackles with one interception, showing how good he is on the ball and winning it back for his team in the middle of the pitch.

This cameo performance earned the Frenchman an overall match rating of 7/10 according to SofaScore, making him Villa’s joint-second highest rated player on the day alongside Matt Targett.

With this in mind and the fact that Nakamba has apparently picked up a knee injury that could lead to Villa having to sign a new midfielder in the upcoming January transfer window, this could be the perfect time for Gerrard to unleash Sanson from the start to see if he can prove his worth once again.

Labelled as a player that “has a bit of everything” by Smith, the 27-year-old is currently earning a weekly wage of £59k-per-week according to Salary Sport.

Given how Sanson has only made 13 senior appearances for the Villans since arriving back in January, mainly due to injury troubles, it’s safe to say the midfielder would be chomping at the bit to finally get a decent run in the team, which could get underway if Gerrard starts him tonight and he manages to impress as he did against Liverpool.

If Gerrard does start against Norwich, Sanson could potentially create a solid midfield partnership with either the likes of John McGinn or Douglas Luiz who both played the full 90 minutes against Liverpool if they start again tonight.

Mina, Michel Bastos, Guerra e Willian treinaram com bola na tarde desta terça-feira e podem ser novidades do Palmeiras no clássico contra o Corinthians, domingo. Do quarteto, o zagueiro foi aquele que trabalhou durante todo o tempo com o elenco, enquanto os outros três ainda estão em transição entre a parte física e técnica.

A utilização desse trio dependerá da evolução nos trabalhos da semana. Michel está em recondicionamento físico depois de sofrer uma inflamação no joelho, enquanto Guerra teve uma luxação acrômioclavicular no ombro, e Willian parou por um edema na coxa direita.

O venezuelano sofreu o problema há duas semanas e a previsão era de que ficasse até um mês fora. Já Willian teve um edema na coxa direita há dez dias, e o clube estipulou um período de três semanas como desfalque – ele perderia ainda o Dérbi e o jogo contra o Vitória. É bem possível que ambos voltem antes do tempo previsto.

O caso de Mina é mais simples, já que o zagueiro está recuperado da fratura que sofreu no pé esquerdo, dia 9 de agosto. Ele já estava à disposição e ficaria no banco contra o Cruzeiro, mas pediu para ser cortado por ainda não se sentir seguro e ter mais tempo de treinar fisicamente.

Juninho, que falhou nos dois gols contra a Raposa, corre o risco de ir para o banco e dar lugar ao colombiano. Edu Dracena saiu da partida de segunda com dores na panturrilha, mas teve apenas cãibras e por isso não preocupa o Verdão para o próximo jogo.

Além de estar sem jogadores machucados, o Palmeiras também não tem desfalques por suspensão. Bruno Henrique cumpriu gancho contra o Cruzeiro e volta ao time para o Dérbi de domingo. A partida está marcada para as 17h, em Itaquera, e colocará em confronto o líder e o vice-líder – o Verdão está a cinco pontos do adversário, restando sete jogos para o fim do Brasileirão.

According to transfer ‘insider’ Graeme Bailey, writing for 90min, West Ham United have set their sights on a fresh target as news emerges on Lille defender Sven Botman.

The Lowdown: West Ham in defensive crisis…

Injuries to both Angelo Ogbonna and Kurt Zouma have prompted David Moyes to search for new centre-back signings in the looming January transfer window.

[web_stories_embed url=”https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/web-stories/west-ham-latest-updates/” title=”West Ham latest updates!” poster=”” width=”360″ height=”600″ align=”none”]

Premier League trio James Tarkowksi, Nathan Ake and Nathaniel Phillips are the most heavily linked with a move to the London Stadium as things stand, but that hasn’t stopped other names from entering the fray.

Recently, a report from Italy claimed that West Ham could set their sights on Torino powerhouse Gleison Bremer, Juventus outcast Daniele Rugani or Fiorentina’s Nikola Milenkovic (Calciomercato).

Now, as per 90min, it appears that Moyes and transfer chief Rob Newman have another new name on the agenda.

The Latest: Transfer insider breaks news…

According to transfer insider Bailey, writing for 90min, West Ham have made a pre-January approach to sign Ligue 1 sensation Botman in the form of an enquiry.

It is believed that the 21-year-old is attracting plenty of interest, especially from Newcastle who have made him a top target, while the Dutchman’s agents have also made known his possible availability.

The Verdict: Get it done…

Lille have apparently slapped a price tag of around €25m-€30m (£21.2m-£25.4m) on their star defender (La Gazzetta via Milan News), and for that price he would be an absolute steal.

According to journalist Duncan Castles, team-mate and former Irons defender Jose Fonte is a huge fan, apparently calling Botman a ‘machine’ and a man ‘who doesn’t make mistakes’ behind the scenes (via Planet Football).

The Dutchman has also averaged an impressive 4.6 clearances per 90 in the French top flight this season, with only Kurt Zouma bettering those numbers for West Ham in the Premier League (WhoScored).

Botman is also a more accurate passer of the ball out from defence than any of Moyes’ current crop, finding his teammates 85.8% of the time, highlighting a degree of composure at such a young age.

His ceiling appears to be vast, with a maximum cost of £25.4m looking like an absolute steal.
