الإصابات تضرب الديربي.. 8 لاعبين قد يغيبون عن مباراة ليفربول وإيفرتون

يستعد ناديا ليفربول وإيفرتون لمواجهة مرتقبة في ديربي “ميرسيسايد” يوم الأربعاء، في إطار مباريات الجولة الثلاثين من بطولة الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز موسم 2024/2025.

عودة ليفربول وإيفرتون للمنافسات بعد فترة التوقف الدولي قد تشهد غيابات بارزة بسبب الإصابات التي لحقت بعدد من لاعبي الفريقين خلال الفترة الماضية.

ليفربول يسعى للعودة إلى الانتصارات بعد خروجه من بطولة دوري أبطال أوروبا أمام باريس سان جيرمان وخسارته نهائي كأس الرابطة أمام نيوكاسل، بينما يطمح إيفرتون لتعطيل منافسه كما فعل في لقاء الدور الأول بالتعادل 2-2 في “جوديسون بارك”.

إيفرتون تلقى دفعة معنوية قوية بعودة إليمان ندياي ودوايت ماكنيل إلى التدريبات بعد تعافيهما من الإصابة، حيث غاب ندياي بسبب إصابة في الرباط الداخلي، بينما ابتعد ماكنيل منذ ديسمبر بسبب مشكلة في الركبة.

المهاجم دومينيك كالفيرت لوين سيبقى خارج الحسابات بسبب الإصابة، بينما يترقب إيفرتون مدى جاهزية ظهيره الأيسر فيتالي ميكولينكو، الذي تعرض لإصابة في الفخذ خلال مشاركته مع منتخب أوكرانيا، بحسب شبكة “ليفربول إيكو”.

من جهته، سيقيم ليفربول حالة لاعبيه الدوليين العائدين، وعلى رأسهم الحارس أليسون بيكر، الذي تعرض لارتجاج خلال مباراة البرازيل ضد كولومبيا، لكنه أكد لاحقًا عبر مواقع التواصل الاجتماعي أنه بخير.

تم استبعاد ريان جرافينبيرش من معسكر منتخب هولندا بسبب الإصابة، ويخضع للتقييم، كما سيغيب المدافعون جو جوميز، ترينت ألكسندر أرنولد وكونور برادلي سيغيبون عن المباراة بسبب الإصابة، مما يجعل جاريل كوانساه مرشحًا للعب كظهير أيمن، كما يغيب تايلر مورتون بسبب الإصابة.

المباراة ستكون حاسمة لكلا الفريقين، حيث يسعى ليفربول للحفاظ على صدارته في الدوري الإنجليزي، بينما يحاول إيفرتون تحسين موقعه في جدول الترتيب وتكرار مفاجأته في اللقاء الأخير بينهما.

ويحتل ليفربول صدارة الترتيب برصيد 70 نقطة بعد خوضه 29 جولة بالبطولة، في حين أن إيفرتون يأتي في المركز الخامس عشر برصيد 34 نقطة.

Joe Root: 'We need to put some pride back in the badge'

England captain commits to leading side in final two Tests despite Ashes loss

Andrew Miller28-Dec-2021Joe Root says that he will not be considering his position as Test captain until the end of England’s tour of Australia, and instead pledged to “put some pride back into the badge” in the final two matches at Sydney and Hobart, after a humiliating conclusion to the decisive third Test at Melbourne.England’s Ashes challenge ended with their third defeat inside 12 days of action, in little more than an hour’s play at the MCG, as Australia’s debutant quick Scott Boland finished with figures of 6 for 7 in four overs to rout England for 68 – their 13th score of 200 or less in 29 completed Test innings in 2021.England’s innings-and-14-run defeat was their ninth of the calendar year, equalling a record set by Bangladesh in 2003, while two more scores of 0 on the final morning earned the team a share of another unwanted record, as they finished with 54 ducks for the year, equal with the England side of 1998.Root once again top-scored for England with 28 on the final morning, to finish 2021 with 1708 runs at 61.00 – the third-highest tally in a single year, behind Mohammad Yousuf (1788 in 2006) and Viv Richards (1710 in 1976). However, no one else in the side managed more than Rory Burns’ haul of 530, and even Extras (412) contributed more than the third-most prolific batter in the squad, Jonny Bairstow (391).”Everyone in that dressing room is gutted,” Root said after the match. “That’s not a good enough performance. We all know that. We need to put some pride back into the badge and make sure we come away from this tour with something. It’s as simple as that.”Related

Scott Boland six-for leads humiliation as Australia romp to Ashes glory

Despite the speed of England’s demise on the third morning, Root insisted that all had not been lost when play resumed with England on a sickly 31 for 4, in the wake of a pulsating new-ball burst from Australia’s quicks on Monday evening. “You turn up today and you walk out with Ben Stokes and you feel like anything’s possible,” Root said. “We’re bitterly disappointed to find ourselves in this position.”Stokes, however, fell in the fifth over of the morning, bowled by Mitchell Starc for 11, whereupon Boland added to his two wickets in his solitary over on the second evening to claim four more in his next 15 balls. Cameron Green then applied the finishing touch by bowling James Anderson for 2 to condemn England to their 12th defeat in their last 13 Tests in Australia.Root himself has played in 11 of those losses, and acknowledged that the standards of England’s domestic red-ball cricket were not currently good enough to prepare county batters for the challenge of competing on equal terms in Australian conditions, let alone elsewhere in the world.”I’d say that the best 18 players from the county game are definitely on this tour,” Root said. “There’s some very talented players within this squad and we have to find ways of upskilling ourselves and each other, and managing pressure points within the game better.”Unfortunately, where the game is at in our country right now, the only place you can really learn that is in the hardest environment,” he added. “For what is quite a young batting group, they’re having to learn out here. The environment that they’re coming from, it’s not readying them well enough for Test cricket.”It’s a very difficult place, with everything that surrounds Test matches and the different conditions and environments. If you’re not ready going into it, it makes it very difficult to improve in that environment.”Cameron Green claimed the Ashes-clinching wicket•Getty Images

As a member of the England team that was humiliated at the 2015 World Cup, also in Australia, Root acknowledged that this defeat may well need to be viewed in a similar light, given that England’s group-stage exit from that campaign was the single biggest factor in the ECB’s subsequent white-ball focus that culminated in their 2019 victory.”You look back at 2015 and the reset that happened in white-ball cricket, maybe that’s something that needs to be had in our red-ball game as well,” Root said. “But that is a long conversation that I should probably have with you guys another time.”More than anything, we have to stay very mentally resilient,” he added. “Just keep working very hard at our games, keep looking at ways to get better. And we have to make sure that when we get our opportunities to get ahead of the game, we take them.”It’s bitterly disappointing to be 3-0 down but there are still two Test matches to go. We have to try and make sure we come away from this tour with a couple of wins.”In leading England for the 59th time in this Test, Root drew level with his predecessor, Alastair Cook, as England’s most-capped captain. But his 24th defeat is two more than Cook oversaw, and though he also holds the record for victories as England captain (27), he is also the first man to oversee two losing tours of Australia in more than 100 years.However, when asked if he felt the time had come to hand over the leadership to someone else – potentially his deputy Ben Stokes – Root insisted that with the series not yet over, it would be “wrong to look past that”.”As a player, you talk about the next hour, or the next session, or the very next ball and managing that to the best of your abilities,” he said. “That applies to me as well, as captain of this team.”I’m in the middle of a very important series. My energy has to be all about trying to win the next game. I can’t be selfish and start thinking about myself.”That’s a big part of captaincy. You’ve got to ready the players, and try to instil that belief in every single one of your team and your squad. More than ever now, going into the last two games.”

Smriti Mandhana has won the Rachael Heyhoe-Flint Trophy for being the ICC’s Women’s Cricketer of the Year 2021. She becomes only the second player, after Australia allrounder Ellyse Perry, to win the highest individual distinction in the women’s overall category of the annual ICC awards more than once.Mandhana was also nominated for the Women’s T20I Player of the Year award, but that was won by England opener Tammy Beaumont. Mandhana was, however, named in the ICC Women’s T20I Team of the Year.Mandhana, who was named ICC Women’s Cricketer of the Year and ODI Cricketer of the Year in 2018, pipped fellow opening batters Beaumont, Lizelle Lee of South Africa, and Gaby Lewis of Ireland to the honour. Jhulan Goswami, who won the same award in 2007, is the only other Indian woman to ever win an ICC annual award.Related

Commenting on receiving the honour Mandhana told ICC: “I am truly honoured for receiving the prestigious Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy for the ICC Women’s Cricketer of the Year 2021. I am grateful to my team-mates, my coaches, my family, friends and fans who believed in my potential and supported me in this journey.”A recognition of such high class from the global governing body of cricket in an exceptional and difficult year will motivate me to continue to better my game and contribute to Team India’s success going forward. I look forward to 2022 with a clear focus on winning the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2022 in New Zealand as we continue to prepare as a team and unit.”In 2021, since India’s return to the field on March 7 following a 364-day absence from the international scene – primarily because of the Covid-19 pandemic but also the BCCI’s inability to schedule games for them even as the Indian men’s team got its share of fixtures – Mandhana scored 855 runs in 22 international matches across three series, at an average of 38.86, hitting one century and five half-centuries along the way. The crowning piece in her run tally was a Player-of-the-Match-winning maiden hundred in the longest format – 127 against Australia at Gold Coast – in what was India’s maiden women’s day-night Test.In 2018, Mandhana had finished atop the run chart in women’s ODIs with 669 runs at an average of 66.90 and was the third-highest scorer in T20Is with 622 runs at a strike rate of 130.67.The ICC Women’s Cricketer of the Year award, instituted in 2006, was named after Rachael Heyhoe-Flint, the former England Women’s Test cricketer and administrator, in 2017 upon the reintroduction of the category.

South Africa batter Lizelle Lee has been named the ICC women’s ODI cricketer of the year, following a stellar 2021 in which she ended as the leading run-scorer in the format.Lee, the top-ranked batter in the world, scored 632 runs in 11 matches at an average of 90.28, including one century and five half-centuries. She played a pivotal role in the ODI series against India last March, making 288 runs, as South Africa sealed a 4-1 win. During the third match of that series, in Lucknow, she made her highest individual score, blasting an unbeaten 132 to help the team to a narrow win. She was eventually named the Player of the Series.Lee carried her fine form into the tour of West Indies, where she was once again the leading run-scorer, finishing the ODI leg with 248 runs in four matches at an average of 124.”This award means a lot to me, I didn’t expect it,” Lee said. “It’s an honour to just be nominated, so this feels amazing. There are so many people to give credit to – my parents and my wife have been my biggest source of support, but also my team-mates.”There are a few innings that stand out, but I’d rank the ones against India and my 90-something against West Indies in tough conditions as one of the best.”

Bellingham 2.0: Man Utd want to sign exciting £120m star in the making

New Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim has a huge job on his hands trying to transform a side that has constantly failed to hit the heights many have predicted them to.

The hierarchy has constantly backed the managers during their respective stints in charge of Old Trafford, but their investments have been unable to change the club’s fortunes.

Previous boss Erik ten Hag spent around £600m on new additions during his two and a bit years in the North West, finishing third and eighth in his two full seasons in the Premier League.

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag

That responsibility to succeed at a club that has gone over a decade without a title now falls onto the former Portuguese international, hoping to replicate his success at Sporting CP, which saw him win two Liga Portugal titles.

However, he will have many dilemmas over the coming months, including the upcoming January transfer window, with questions needing to be asked about the futures of numerous players in his first-team squad.

Amorim’s midfield dilemma ahead of the transfer window

Cost-cutting is on the agenda for United over the next couple of months, with the new-look hierarchy committed to saving the club money in any way possible.

However, their accounts were published over the last couple of days, showing that the cost of sacking Ten Hag and appointing Amorim set them back around £21m alone.

As a result, the first-team picture may need a little shake-up, putting the future of some players at risk given their below-par performances for the Red Devils in recent times.

Youngster Kobbie Mainoo and summer addition Manuel Ugarte will undoubtedly remain at the club, with Mason Mount likely handed another opportunity to impress after the new boss gave a glittering review of the Englishman upon his arrival.

The likes of Casemiro and Christian Eriksen could find themselves in a precarious position, especially considering the former’s huge weekly earnings which see him pocket £350k-per-week at Old Trafford.

Such a fee sees the Brazilian pocket a staggering £18.2m in wages per year in Manchester, a massive amount given his lack of positive impact in recent months which has seen him hounded by Jamie Carragher.

As for Eriksen, he too earns a small fortune, at £150k-per-week, but unlike Casemiro, his contract is set to expire at the end of the current campaign with no new contract currently on the horizon.

Their combined yearly intake would see the hierarchy save £26m a season, undoubtedly fitting into the cost-cutting strategy they’re trying to implement which has seen icon Sir Alex Ferguson removed from the payroll starting from next summer.

However, the funds generated from any departure could allow for a key addition that would set United up for the present whilst also keeping one eye on the future.

Man Utd eyeing January move for UCL talent

According to GIVEMESPORT, Man Utd are one of a number of English sides targeting a move for PSV midfielder Malik Tillman in January.

The 22-year-old, who’s previously played for Bayern Munich and Rangers, also has admirers from Aston Villa and Tottenham Hotspur after his impressive start to 2024/25.

The American has scored eight times so far this campaign, including three strikes in the Champions League, including in the comeback victory over Shakhtar Donetsk last night.

He’s a versatile talent, able to operate in a wide role along with attacking or central midfielder positions, making him a perfect fit for Amorim’s 3-4-3 system.

Tillman’s impressive performances in Europe have led to comparisons to Real Madrid star Jude Bellingham by FBref, a huge statement given the rise of the former Birmingham City star.

However, when delving into their respective stats from the Champions League this season, their PSV ace has matched or bettered the Englishman in numerous key areas – highlighting what a superb addition he would be for the Red Devils.

The “world-class” Tillman, as dubbed by ESPN host Hercules Gomez, has registered more combined goals and assists, whilst managing to place more of his efforts on target.

Despite being an attacking-minded player, the American has won more tackles per 90 along with more interceptions – showcasing his ability at both ends of the pitch as an all-action Bellingham-type midfielder.

Whilst it’s unclear how much a deal for Tillman will set the Red Devils back in January, he has been billed as a £120m player in the making by former Ajax man Kenneth Perez. On that basis, it’s certainly evident he possesses a lot of talents that could be of use to 39-year-old Amorim.

Their current situation on the field is far from ideal, with the PSV star having the tools to provide a superb option in a variety of roles and help lead the revival at Old Trafford.

جوارديولا: لا أشك في جودة محمد صلاح.. ومانشستر سيتي لن يضم 45 لاعبًا

أبدى بيب جوارديولا، المدير الفني لمانشستر سيتي، احترامه للنجم المصري محمد صلاح بعد تجديد عقده مع ليفربول، مؤكدًا أنه لا توجد أي شكوك حول جودة اللاعب، وكشف عن خطط النادي في السوق الصيفي.

وأعلن ليفربول اليوم عن تجديد عقد محمد صلاح، حيث وقع المصري عقدًا يمتد حتى 30 يونيو 2027.

جوارديولا تحدث خلال مؤتمر صحفي اليوم الجمعة، قبل المباراة أمام كريستال بالاس، المقرر خوضها غدًا السبت.

وافتتح جوارديولا الحديث عن تجديد عقد محمد صلاح مع ليفربول قائلاً: “لا شك لدي في جودة محمد صلاح”.

وفيما يخص سوق الانتقالات الصيفي المقبل، أكد جوارديولا أن الأمور لم تُحسم بعد، موضحًا أن النادي يعمل بالفعل، لكن التوجه ليس نحو ضم عدد كبير من اللاعبين.

وأفاد: “لا أعلم ما الذي سيحدث، بالطبع النادي يعمل، لكننا لن نمتلك 45 لاعبًا في الفريق، فهذا غير مستدام على الصعيد النفسي بالنسبة للفريق”.

وأردف: علينا أن نراقب، باستثناء كيفن دي بروين (أعلن رحيله نهاية الموسم)، عقود باقي اللاعبين وسلوكهم حتى نهاية الموسم، ثم نقرر ما الذي سنقوم به”.

وتحدث جوارديولا عن لاعب كريستال بالاس آدم وارتون قائلًا: “إنه لاعب ارتكاز ممتاز، كان ضمن قائمة المنتخب الإنجليزي بالفعل تحت قيادة المدرب السابق، وأحدث تأثيرًا كبيرًا بعد انتقاله من التشامبيونشيب إلى البريميرليج، يمتلك قدمًا يسرى رائعة، إنه لاعب جيد جدًا”.

وفيما يخص لاعب الشاب نيكو أوريلي، علّق قائلًا: “إذا كان لاعب وسط شامل، فعليه أن يتحرك عرضيًا بكامل قوته، هو يؤدي بشكل جيد جدًا ونحن سعداء به”.

أما عن الإصابات التي ضربت مانشستر سيتي، أوضح بيب أن الوضع مستمر منذ بداية الموسم، لكنه أعرب عن رضاه على طريقة تعامل الفريق مع تلك الظروف.

وأستطرد: “الإصابات ما زالت قائمة، وهذا ما حدث طوال الموسم، نحن نتأقلم مع الوضع، قد يبدو أننا في وضع كارثي، لكنه كان من الممكن أن يكون أسوأ”.

وأكمل: “أنا راضٍ تمامًا عن الطريقة التي تعاملنا بها مع هذه الظروف، وعن موقفنا الحالي الذي يسمح لنا بالتأهل إلى دوري الأبطال الموسم المقبل، خصوصًا إذا فزنا بمبارياتنا على أرضنا”.

كما علّق على حالة فيل فودين النفسية بعد الهتافات المسيئة التي تعرضت لها والدته خلال مواجهة مانشستر يونايتد، قائلًا: “هو لا يشعر بأنه بخير، لكنه سيمضي قدمًا…”

وتابع حول الحوادث التي طالت فودين وجاك جريليش خلال تلك المباراة: “هذا يحدث في كل مكان، العالم أصبح مجنونًا، وهذه ليست مشكلة تخص مانشستر يونايتد أو نادٍ بعينه، إذا نظرت من حولك، سترى أن الأمر لا يسير في الطريق الصحيح.”

وعن المنافسة هذا الموسم على المراكز المؤهلة لدوري أبطال أوروبا، علّق جوارديولا قائلًا: “من الأفضل بالطبع أن تكون هناك خمسة مقاعد مؤهلة بدلًا من أربعة، بالنظر إلى الوضع الحالي، لكن هناك سبعة أو ثمانية أندية تنافس، وستُحسم الأمور في اللحظة الأخيرة”.

واسترسل: “لم نمتلك التشكيلة الكاملة طوال الموسم، غاب عنا ثلاثة قلوب دفاع، وأفضل مهاجمينا لم يشارك إلا في آخر مباراة أو اثنتين”.

ورغم ذلك، أبدى جوارديولا تفاؤله بقدرة فريقه على إنهاء الموسم بشكل جيد، وقال: “أنا متفائل بإنهاء الموسم بشكل جيد”.

وفي ختام المؤتمر، رحّب جوارديولا باستخدام تقنية التسلل شبه الآلي، قائلاً: “أعتقد أن السبب الرئيسي لاستخدامها هو تسريع القرارات، أليس كذلك؟، طالما أنها تسلل فهي تسلل، وإن لم تكن، فهي ليست كذلك، حسنًا، ممتاز، أهلًا بها!”.

Kushagra and Nadeem lead Jharkhand to record total

The seventh-wicket pair put on 166, the third successive century partnership of the innings

Himanshu Agrawal13-Mar-2022

Kumar Kushagra hit 37 fours and two sixes while scoring 266 off 269 balls•PTI

Jharkhand posted a mammoth 769 – their highest score since they began playing first-class cricket from the 2004-05 season onward – on the back of wicketkeeper-batter Kumar Kushagra’s commanding knock of 266 and No. 8 Shahbaz Nadeem’s unbeaten 123, his highest score in first-class cricket. These followed Virat Singh’s innings of 107 from Saturday, as Nagaland stared at a mountain to climb after spending 177 overs on the field across two days.It was a day where multiple records tumbled: Jharkhand achieved their highest first-class score by far, eclipsing the 556 they had made against Hyderabad in 2015; Eden Gardens witnessed its second-highest first-class total; and Kushagra bagged the second-highest score by a Jharkhand batter in first-class cricket.Kushagra and Nadeem added 166 for the seventh wicket, capitalising on some ineffective bowling as well as poor fielding from Nagaland, who dropped Kushagra on 132 on the second morning after also giving him lives on 10 and 44 on the first day. Eventually, Kushagra took only 269 balls to hit 266, 160 of which came in boundaries.He reached his double century off 213 deliveries in the morning session, and displayed a range of strokes throughout the day: a drive to bisect cover and mid-off, a pull between fine leg and deep square leg, a punch off the back foot and a loft over the bowler’s head, among others.At the other end, Nadeem displayed the patience and application of a frontline batter, grinding his way to a second first-class century. He got to his fifty off 100 balls, and reached the three-figure landmark off 196 deliveries. He hit 14 fours, and one effortless six, a casual walk down the pitch to legspinner Khrievitso Kense followed by a gentle loft over long-on.Nagaland’s frustrations on the day were summed up when a straight drive from Nadeem off medium-pacer Raja Swarnkar in the 161st over hit the stumps at the bowler’s end and ricocheted to the rope for four.Earlier, overnight batter Anukul Roy had got to a half-century before falling for 59 to end a 128-run partnership with Kushagra. Jharkhand were 489 for 6 at that point; if Nagaland thought they would soon be done chasing leather, Kushagra and Nadeem rid them of that notion by putting on the third successive century stand of the innings.
