Chelsea are back in action in one week as they prepare to face AFC Bournemouth, but in the midst of the international break, Mauricio Pochettino has been handed another injury concern. This time, it’s for Mykhailo Mudryk, who featured against England in European Championship qualifiers, but had to come off after a slight issue. There does appear to be a slight boost elsewhere on the injury front though, as Reece James posted an update that suggested he may be back soon, while Benoit Badiashile also looks likely to return after the break. In terms of transfer news, there’s still plenty…
According to Fabrizio Romano, Tottenham are on the verge of landing Vuskovic, who had been linked to the Blues earlier this year. “Tottenham are on the verge of signing Croatian CB top talent Luka Vuskovic!” the Italian journalist shared on Twitter.

The international break is almost over which means that Liverpool is set to return to Premier League action next week. The Reds went into the break with plenty of momentum following a promising league start that ended with a convincing 3-0 victory over Aston Villa.

A group of European clubs, including Liverpool, have held talks over pushing FIFA to establish regulation that ensures they receive transfer fees from deals that saw players move to Saudi Arabian clubs. The Reds have been heavily targeted by clubs from the Gulf state this summer, as Fabinho made the move to Al Ittihad for £40m, Jordan Henderson went to Al Ettifaq for £12m and Roberto Firmino switched to Al Ahli upon the expiry of his contract. With so many players sold to the SPL this window, there will be a considerable amount of money flowing towards European leagues. However…

But as Klopp looks to get one over ex-Liverpool academy coach Gary O’Neil, he will be handicapped. Not only will Klopp be without his banned captain Van…

The Saudi transfer deadline passed by on Thursday without a further offer, but Al-Ittihad is refusing to give up and intends to make a fresh approach in 2024. The club, which is managed by former Wolves boss Nuno Espirito Santo and already has Real Madrid icon Karim Benzema and Chelsea legend N’Golo Kanté on its…
Nyoni made the switch from Leicester official towards the end of August, with the Reds having tracked the teenager for a number of months. Him and fellow new arrival Amara Nallo have immediately slotted in the under-18s setup, making their competitive debuts in a 6-1 loss to Crystal Palace last weekend. The international break brought the opportunity for a friendly at the AXA Training Centre, as Liverpool helped Southend in their preparations for the new campaign.
