There is a new name on Liverpool’s bench for the clash with Brentford, and 16-year-old Trey Nyoni could become the club’s youngest-ever league debutant. Liverpool confirmed their teamsheet for the latest Premier League fixture at 1pm on Sunday, with the average age of Jurgen Klopp‘s substitutes just 20 years old. The youngest of those is Nyoni, who makes the first-team squad for the first time. It comes just three months after the teenager completed a summer move from Leicester, as part of Liverpool’s ongoing focus on recruiting elite-level youngsters from the UK. A versatile midfielder, Nyoni has largely spent his time as…
Tottenham fear James Maddison’s ankle injury is worse than first expected amid growing concerns he is facing a long lay-off. Maddison was substituted in the first half of Tottenham’s loss to Chelsea on Monday night; head coach Ange Postecoglou confirming after the game that he sustained an ankle problem. Sources have indicated that Maddison will miss a minimum of one month, but that timescale could move closer to two to three months depending on how his rehabilitation progresses. However, Maddison has withdrawn from the international party to face Malta and North Macedonia, raising concerns of his fitness. And Mail Sport has learned that there are significant concerns at…
Who is Liverpool’s most important player and why is it Mohamed Salah? There are other players who can certainly make a case. Alisson Becker prevented a poor season in 2022/23 from being a truly abysmal one, for instance. But when the Egyptian is the club’s top scorer and (joint) top assist provider in 2023/24, it’s hard to look past him. Salah has led the Reds’ goal chart in every season he has been with the club and he has the most assists in the Jürgen Klopp era too. Whenever the sad day comes that he leaves, he will be near-impossible to replace.…
Tottenham youngsters Alfie Dorrington and Jamie Donley have been included on the substitutes’ bench for Spurs’ Premier League game against Wolves on Saturday afternoon. In action at the start of the week at home to Chelsea, the Lilywhites were dealt some devastating blows on the injury front with Micky van de Ven and James Maddison limping off with injuries, before it was confirmed a few days later that Richarlison had undergone surgery on his groin. Add to that Cristian Romero and Destiny Udogie’s suspensions following their dismissals in the 4-1 defeat, Ange Postecoglou has seen the numbers in terms of…
47 min: Bellegarde wins the ball from Royal in midfield and bears down on the Tottenham prenalty area. With the Spurs defenders backing off him, he unleashes a shot from the edge of the penalty area that sails comically high and wide. Peep! Referee Tim Robinson draws an entertaining first half to a close and Tottenham have the advantge courtesy of Brennan Johnson’s first goal for the club. After asn inauspicious start, Wolves gradually grew into the game and have shown every sign that they might be able to turn things around in the second half. The next goal, should it arrive,…
Manchester United are fragile. The club is not in a good place and it transcends onto the pitch, but ultimately they are one of the biggest clubs in the world which will come back round. There is no evidence but you have to believe the right people will come into the football club. Sir Jim Ratcliffe coming into the club is positive to me. They have got quality players on their day, but at the moment it is not happening for them. If they are going to beat anybody it is Luton at home but it is football and anything…
After Tottenham’s tough defeat against Chelsea on Monday night, Spurs will be looking to return to winning ways in Saturday’s early kick-off against Wolves. What looked to be a great night in NW1 quickly turned into a nightmare for Spurs, with the Lilywhites falling to a 4-1 defeat against rivals Chelsea and dropping to second in the Premier League table. Two red cards and a number of injuries worsened the situation, meaning we can expect a much-changed line-up from Ange Postecoglou on Saturday. Cristian Romero and Destiny Udogie will miss out through suspension, whilst Micky van de Ven and James Maddison…
Ange Postecoglou has explained where his thinking lies with both Eric Dier and Ashley Phillips as Tottenham look to deal with having their defence torn apart by injuries and suspension. One player who will now return to the fore amid those absences is Eric Dier, who played his first minutes of the season after entering the fray from the bench and impressing on Monday night. He also volleyed home a strike in the second half that would have levelled the game for Spurs’ nine men, only to be adjudged marginally offside. The England international’s contract is running out at the club…
An injury-hit Tottenham Hotspur side take on Wolves in the Premier League today, and Bryan Gil could make his first start of the season under Ange Postecoglou. James Maddison’s absence is a massive blow for Spurs. The Englishman has been one of their best players this season, and with him unavailable, there is a huge void in that number 10 role. Gil on the right flank and Kulusevski as a number 10 will make Tottenham’s attack much more unpredictable, as the two left-footed players can swap positions in-game. The Spurs boss’ attacking system suits Gil much more than what he…
It’s a debate that has gone on for as long as we can remember, and there are plenty of different answers people give from Lionel Messi to Johan Cruyff all the way to Pele. The Newcastle star was playing a game of word association, and he was asked to name the first player that came to mind when talking about the GOAT (Greatest of All Time). Trippier neglected the likes of Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, instead opting to pick his former Tottenham teammate Mousa Dembele as the best player he’s ever seen. Trippier spoke about the Belgian who left Spurs for £11m. “Ok,…
