Alison Conroy drops worrying Jota update

Alison Conroy has dropped an extremely worrying injury update on Celtic winger Jota.

What’s the latest?

In a recent post on Twitter, the Sky Sports journalist revealed that, as a result of the hamstring injury the Benfica loanee picked up in Celtic’s 1-0 win over Hearts last week, the 22-year-old has now been ruled out of the League Cup final against Hibernian on December 19.

Speaking about the condition of the winger, Conroy said: “Jota will miss the League Cup final.”

Fans will be fuming

Considering just how important a part of the Celtic side Jota has become since making a temporary switch to Parkhead this summer, the news that the Portugal U21 international will miss one of the club’s biggest games of the season will undoubtedly have left fans fuming.

Indeed, over his 11 Premiership outings so far this season, the £3.15m-rated man has scored five goals, provided four assists and created two big chances for his teammates, as well as taking an average of three shots and making 1.5 key passes per game.

These returns have seen the forward average an extremely impressive SofaScore match rating of 7.38, ranking him as the Bhoys’ fifth-best performer in the league – of the players who remain a part of Postecoglou’s squad.

The £7.1k-per-week winger has also been in fantastic form over his five Europa League appearances, bagging two goals, providing two assists and creating four big chances for his teammates, with these metrics seeing the youngster average a SofaScore match rating of 7.40 – ranking him as the Hoops’ best performer in the competition.

As such, the absence of the forward for the final will undoubtedly come as a major blow to Postecoglou and his side, whose chances of lifting the League Cup at Hampden Park are considerably slimmer with Jota watching on from the sidelines.

Fluminense vence com autoridade, se alivia e complica São Paulo na tabela

MatériaMais Notícias

No duelo dos desesperados tricolores, o Fluminense venceu com autoridade por 3 a 1, se aliviou na tabela e deixou o São Paulo mais próximo da zona de rebaixamento do Brasileirão. Henrique Dourado, Sornoza e Robinho marcaram para o time da casa no Maracanã e Shaylon, no fim, descontou.

Desde o apito inicial, quem tomou as ações da partida foi o Flu. Sem Wendel, suspenso, Abel Braga manteve o esquema da última vitória com Douglas formando uma trinca de meias ao lado de Scarpa e Sornoza. E deu certo: nos primeiros 15 minutos, o Fluminense chegou pelas laterais com Marcos Júnior, Lucas e Marlon – que buscaram Dourado na área, sem sucesso.

É inaceitável’São Paulo18/10/2017

O São Paulo, acuado, não conseguia manter a posse de bola no ataque. Nem mesmo sair da intermediária defensiva. O apagado trio formado por Cueva, Lucas Fernandes e Marcos Guilherme pouco apareceu e sobrecarregou Hernanes, o cérebro da equipe.

Até os 20 minutos, a preocupação do time de Dorival era tirar o perigo da área de qualquer forma – e Júnior Tavares, precipitado, usou a mão para interceptar cruzamento. Pênalti para o Fluminense e bola nos pés do artilheiro do Brasileirão, que não perde: bola pro lado, Sidão pro outro. Foi o 16º gol do Ceifador no campeonato, 30º no ano.

O gol animou a torcida no Maracanã, que nem teve tempo de comemorar. No lance seguinte, Cavalieri lançou Scarpa em contra-ataque e o camisa 10, malandro, deslocou Rodrigo Caio, entrou na área e serviu Sornoza. O equatoriano, voltando à boa forma, bateu de chapa e marcou pela primeira vez desde que fraturou o tornozelo, em maio.

Os gols seguidos foram um balde de água fria para os paulistas, que se desmontaram em campo. O primeiro tempo saiu barato para os visitantes e Dorival pôs Maicosuel no intervalo. Mas, na prática, nada mudou.

Na segunda etapa, o Fluminense jogou como time grande. Com a vantagem debaixo do braço, os garotos – bem menos experientes que o adversário – tiveram inteligência e atitude para dominar a partida. Nos últimos minutos, Robinho entrou no lugar do camisa 9, entrou na área e foi derrubado. Mais um pênalti e ele mesmo cobrou, marcando seu primeiro com a camisa tricolor.

O gol de Shaylon no fim, em lance de sorte, em nada mudou no placar e muito menos na preocupação dos são-paulinos que ainda podem terminar a rodada no Z4. Para o Tricolor das Laranjeiras, alívio – o clube dorme na parte de cima da tabela, com 38 pontos, e vê o fantasma do rebaixamento cada vez mais longe. Já o São Paulo, 34, seca Sport, Vitória e Ponte Preta, que entram em campo nesta quinta e podem recolocar o clube na zona da degola.

Injured Paine to fly home

Australian wicketkeeper Tim Paine will fly home after being ruled out of the one-day series against India with a finger injury

Australia had another addition to their already long list of injuries when their wicketkeeper Tim Paine was ruled out of the series with a finger injury. Australia expect to have a replacement for Paine, who will fly home, before the next ODI in Delhi on Saturday but they have not named his substitute. There are no other specialist wicketkeepers in the original squad.”Paine has got a badly broken finger,” Ricky Ponting said. “He will be going home pretty much straight away. We haven’t been able to name a replacement because of the time difference in Australia at the moment. [The travelling selector] David Boon’s been in touch with Andrew Hilditch and we’ll be able to name somebody tomorrow morning. As to when Tim is flying out I am not sure.”It’s Thursday morning back home, and we should be able to get someone out by Thursday afternoon. If they do, they’ll arrive in India the same day I expect.”Paine picked up the problem to a ring finger when trying to collect a bouncer from Peter Siddle in the eighth over of the 99-run defeat to India in the second ODI. The physio tended to him at the end of that over, after which he managed to keep wickets through the innings. He then opened the innings, cobbling together a 14-ball 8 before being bowled by Praveen Kumar.Australia were already without the services of their premier limited-overs fast bowler Brett Lee and allrounder James Hopes for Wednesday’s game in Nagpur. This was in addition to the loss of their highest ranked one-day bowler Nathan Bracken, middle-order batsman Michael Clarke and first-choice wicketkeeper Brad Haddin before the series to injuries.Haddin has recovered from finger surgery that sidelined him since the Ashes loss in August, and will test his fitness for New South Wales against Western Australia in a one-day match on Sunday. “There will be a number of names thrown around,” Ponting said. “I don’t think there’s an absolute standout replacement, to tell you the truth. The selectors will have to have a bit of a chat tomorrow morning.”

Newcastle: Trippier set to sign in January

Newcastle United look set to pip Manchester United in the race to sign Atletico Madrid defender Kieran Trippier, as per Football Insights.

The Lowdown: Trippier in demand…

Trippier, who has been with the Spanish giants since 2019, is thought to be open to a Premier League return.

He was first linked with a move to Newcastle shortly before Eddie Howe’s arrival. Reports then claimed that Howe wanted to make the right-back his first January signing, with Manchester United also interested.

Aston Villa, Crystal Palace and Everton are also willing to make a move, but it seems as if a move to Tyneside has been finalised.

The Latest: PIF’s first signing

The Mag relayed a claim from Football Insights, who suggested that Trippier is set to become PIF’s first signing after taking over at St James’ Park.

Football Insights’ Twitter post on Monday evening believes that a move is ‘all done’, with more information set to come out ‘in the next day or two’.

The Verdict: Shrewd move

Howe will know exactly what Trippier would bring to his side, with the 31-year-old making 61 appearances in total under him at Burnley, scoring four goals and registering 11 assists in all competitions over two seasons in Lancashire (Transfermarkt).

The Magpies also have just two right-backs on the books compared to three left-backs, so adding Trippier to his squad would balance thatt out nicely, and it seems as if Howe is going to get his wish.

The England defender has plenty of international experience and helped Atletico Madrid to the La Liga title last season, so securing his signature seems to be a good starting point as Howe looks to lift Newcastle out of the Premier League relegation zone over the coming months.

Botafogo arranca empate com o Fla e é campeão da Taça Rio Sub-17

MatériaMais Notícias

Empate nos profissionais e empate no sub-17. Este, porém, mais valioso. O Botafogo saiu na frente, ofereceu a virada, mas arrancou o 2 a 2 com o Flamengo, na tarde deste domingo, na Gávea. Por ter vencido o primeiro jogo, no Nilton Santos, o Alvinegro garantiu o título da Taça Rio da categoria.

Glauber, de pênalti, e Rhuan, em linda cobrança de falta, fizeram para o Alvinegro. Vitor Gabriel e Patrick marcaram para o Rubro-Negro. Rhuan ainda quase fez um gol olímpico, já no fim do jogo

O campeão da Taça Guanabara é o mesmo Flamengo. Assim, Fla e Bota vão decidir o Campeonato Carioca Sub-17. Os jogos serão nos dois próximos fins de semana, mas ainda não têm hora e data definidos (sábado ou domingo). Uma certeza: o primeiro jogo terá mando do Glorioso. O segundo, do Fla. Como o Botafogo joga com o Fluminense, pelos profissionais, no sábado, no Nilton, o mais provável é que a ida seja no domingo.

'We were outplayed' – Sangakkara

Kumar Sangakkara has called on his spinners to raise their game in the final Test in Mumbai

Sa'adi Thawfeeq27-Nov-2009It hasn’t been a great tour for Muttiah Muralitharan so far•AFP

Sri Lanka came into the series intending to secure their maiden Test victory on Indian soil but were left with a lot of soul searching to do after they were thrashed by an innings-and-144-runs in the second Test in Kanpur.Though India ran up 642, Sri Lanka captain Kumar Sangakkara defended the selection of three spinners. “If we had won the toss and batted first on the wicket and got a decent amount of runs on the board our spinners would have been quite a threat on this track,” he said. “It would have been very hard to score runs off them as well. The chances that we did create were not taken by us, allowing the Indian batsmen to get away on a really flat track. 400 runs on the first day was a little too much.”The main concern for Sri Lanka was the inability of the world’s leading wicket-taker Muttiah Muralitharan to provide the breakthroughs for his team as he had done till the recent past. Murali went for over hundred runs for the second time in two Tests; so far in the series his returns are five wickets for 396 runs, average 79.20. “It does become a concern when your star strike bowler is not really picking up the wickets you know he can, but he is still the best bowler that’s played the game,” Sangakkara said. “You still have to have faith in him and trust him and back him 100% to do the job because he is going to do it at one point, hopefully in the next Test.”The Kanpur defeat was the largest in terms of runs to India but Sangakkara remained optimistic that he had the bowlers to win in Mumbai. “We have the potential to pick 20 wickets with the bowlers that we have,” he said. “Potential is one thing really doing the job is another. We would like a bit more penetration with the spin.”With our fast bowlers we always created opportunities, the disappointing thing is we haven’t really taken those chances twice in the first over in two Test matches, especially this one on a track that was one of the flattest we’ve played on.”We’ve still got a lot to achieve in Mumbai. We can still equal the series and finish one-all. That’s a great motivation for us. Disappointed with today’s defeat, but that’s the way cricket goes. If you don’t play well enough you lose and you’ve got to accept that responsibility but still move on. You have no one else to blame. You got to look at the 16 players in the dressing room and say that we were just not good enough. We were outplayed by India who were a better team in this Test match.”It was a good toss to win for Dhoni the first day the wicket was going to be the flattest and it got slower and slower as the game progressed. If we probably had kept India down to about 450 in the first innings it would have been a chance for us to come back, but 600 runs on we were always chasing. Bad batting in our first innings put us into trouble.”

WIPA calls for longer first-class season

Dinanath Ramnarine has suggested the West Indies first-class competition be extended to two rounds

Cricinfo staff25-Dec-2009

As per the current format, each of the six teams get to play six games each, which Ramnarine said was insufficient•The Nation

The West Indies Players Association (WIPA) has suggested the first-class Regional Four Day Competition be extended, as the current tournament format does not prepare players sufficiently for international cricket. The WIPA president Dinanath Ramnarine has said the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) should ensure the tournament consists of two rounds instead of one.As per the current format, each of the six teams get to play six games each, which Ramnarine said was insufficient. He reiterated the proposal made in the WIPA’s 15-Point Development Plan for West Indies cricket: “West Indies first-class season should be made up of two rounds of matches with a minimum of 12 four-day games per year played alongside the international series.””One round is insufficient in this modern era of cricket. We have seen that in recent years,” Ramnarine was quoted in the WIPA’s official website. “There are complaints from all quarters about the players playing too much limited-overs cricket and there is some validity to that. As such we are adamant that the four-day tournament should be two rounds in order to better prepare the players for international Test cricket.”He said the Memorandum of Understanding between the WICB and the WIPA requires both parties to come to an agreement on the schedules before releasing them. However, the WICB drafted the schedule without consulting them. Ramnarine said he was willing to meet the WICB “as soon as possible to review the proposed schedule and agree a final schedule in the best interest of the development of West Indies cricket.”There were similar calls from the Trinidad and Tobago Cricket Board and Joel Garner, the current West Indies team manager, to have a longer first-class season.

آس تكشف موقف كوندي وأروخو من مباراة الكلاسيكو بين برشلونة وريال مدريد

كشفت صحيفة “آس” الإسبانية موقف مدافع الفريق الأول لكرة القدم بنادي برشلونة، جول كوندي، من المشاركة في مباراة الكلاسيكو أمام ريال مدريد.

تقام مباراة الكلاسيكو يوم 16 أكتوبر، وكانت هناك تخوفات من عدم لحاق كوندي باللقاء نظرًا لأهميته بالنسبة للمدرب، تشافي هيرنانديز.

تعرض كوندي لإصابة في مباراة فرنسا والنمسا في بطولة دوري الأمم الأوروبية، والتقييمات الأولية تشير إلى أن اللاعب سيغيب لمدة شهر.

لكن خضع الفرنسي لمزيد من الفحوصات فور عودته إلى برشلونة، فهو يعاني من العضلة ذات الرأسين من الفخذ الأيسر، لذلك من الممكن أن يتعافى في أقل من 3 أسابيع.

هذا ما يجعل كوندي متاحًا للمشاركة في مباراة الكلاسيكو، ولكن بالتأكيد، سيكون القرار الأخير في يد المدير الفني لنادي برشلونة، تشافي هيرنانديز. أروخو.. عملية جراحية مستبعدة

استبعد الطاقم الطبي لنادي برشلونة إجراء أي عملية جراحية لمدافع الفريق الأول لكرة القدم، رونالد أروخو، بعد إصابته في العضلة الضامة اليمنى.

يريد أروخو العودة سريعًا لنادي برشلونة من أجل الجاهزية قبل كأس العالم للمشاركة مع منتخب أوروجواي وذلك عكس كل التوقعات التي تشير إلى غياب اللاعب لمدة تتراوح بين 6 إلى 8 أسابيع.

وبالتالي، إذا تم علاج أروخو في الأسابيع المقبلة قد لا يعتمد تشافي عليه مرة أخرى مع برشلونة حتى نهاية العام بسبب العودة المباشرة إلى كأس العالم والذي سينتهي في 18 ديسمبر.

القرار النهائي سيعود إلى اللاعب بعد انتهاء فترة العلاج الذي سيخضع له مع طاقم برشلونة الطبي، بعد مناقشة الأمر بين الطرفين وذلك بعد استبعاد التدخل الجراحي من قبل أروخو وهو ما أوصوا به في الطاقم الطبي للنادي الكتالوني.

غياب أروخو خسارة كبيرة لمدرب برشلونة، تشافي هيرنانديز، الذي كان يعتمد على الأوروجوياني أساسيًا في جميع المباريات مع وجود مباريات مهمة في دوري أبطال أوروبا أمام بايرن ميونخ وإنتر ميلان وكذلك الكلاسيكو أمام ريال مدريد.
