Bryan Cristante is expected to remain out of action for the remainder of the year. Earlier today, Roma trained on Christmas Eve at Trigoria. The Giallorossi are continuing to prepare for the league match against Milan, scheduled for December 29 at 8:45 p.m. at San Siro. Once again this morning Claudio Ranieri was unable to count on Bryan Cristante, who has been out for about 20 days due to an ankle injury sustained on December 2 against Atalanta. According to Il Messaggero, in an attempt to return against Parma, the Giallorossi midfielder suffered a relapse to his injured ankle. He will…
Sometimes it seems like things are destined to be, and this definitely applies to the ‘Seedorf’ name when it comes to AC Milan. As La Gazzetta dello Sport recall, Denzel Seedorf was born on May 25, 2007. Two days before holding him in his arms for the first time, his dad Clarence had raised the latest Champions League won by Milan to the sky of Athens with the same hands. Clarence is of course a Dutch champion who has written history with the Rossoneri, while his son Denzel dreams of being a player and making his debut at San Siro…
Filippo Terracciano was a surprise starter in midfield during Friday’s win against Hellas Verona, and now his father has done an interview about his time at AC Milan so far. Terracciano is becoming a wild card for Paulo Fonseca having already been used in various positions this season, making himself useful at full-back and most recently in the midfield double pivot. It is a change from last season under Stefano Pioli when – after arriving in January from Verona – the Italian struggled for minutes as he was rarely called upon. Nonetheless, a recent report from Sky suggested that Empoli…
In a game that will haunt the Miami Heat, the team suffered a stunning 121-114 loss to the injury-depleted Orlando Magic. Up by 25 points in the first half and holding a seemingly insurmountable 22-point lead heading into the fourth quarter, Miami unraveled in catastrophic fashion. They were outscored 37-8 in the final frame, a collapse as shocking as it was humiliating. Orlando was missing key players Paolo Banchero, Franz Wagner, Jalen Suggs, and Wendell Carter Jr., the latter playing only 13 minutes before exiting. Yet the Heat found a way to lose to a lineup of backups and role…
Paulo Dybala does not seem convinced of leaving Roma anytime soon. Despite having been repeatedly linked with a departure from the club in January, Dybala is not too sure about this option. According to Tuttosport, after having rejected Al-Qadsiah’s huge offer in the summer, the Argentine playmaker appears inclined to also decline the advances of Galatasaray. The Turkish giants have offered him a contract until 2027 worth 10 million per season, but Dybala does not appear interested. La Joya is not convinced about leaving the capital and would like to continue with Roma: within the next 6 appearances (at least 45…
Jordan Love starred as the Green Bay Packers routed the New Orleans Saints 34-0 to secure their spot in the NFL play-offs. The 26-year-old quarterback threw for 182 yards and a touchdown as the Packers earned their place in the play-offs for the fifth time in six seasons. The result was the first shutout of the campaign as the in-form Packers won their ninth match in 11 games. “The goal is the Super Bowl. That’s the first step right there making the play-offs,” said Love. “This was a big-time game to clinch that spot. I’m proud of the way we…
AC Milan are looking at signing a midfielder during the January transfer window, and some new names have emerged as potential targets. Tuttosport (via MilanNews) recalls this morning that several midfielders have already been linked such as Reda Belahyane of Verona, Warren Bondo of Monza, Morten Frendrup of Genoa and Johnny Cardoso of Betis. Now, we can add Stuttgart’s Angelo Stiller to the list of targets, a 23-year-old German who was at Bayern Munich until three years ago. He had two decent seasons at Hoffenheim, then at the end of August 2023 he moved to Stuttgart where he became a…
Chelsea are readying an offer of €60m (£49.8m) for the signature of AC Milan midfielder Youssouf Fofana, according to a report. The Blues have unexpectedly forced their way into Premier League title contention in the first half of the 2024-25 season, sitting second in the table with a four-point gap to Liverpool, who have a game in hand. The previously criticised Moises Caicedo has flourished in Enzo Maresca’s system, while Enzo Fernandez has also found a knack for scoring and assisting after forcing his way back into the team. Romeo Lavia, Renato Veiga, Cesare Casadei, Carney Chukwuemeka and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall…
Marcus Thuram seems to have replaced Lautaro Martinez as Inter’s most prolific striker, but the Argentina international feels ‘good’ with this reversal of roles as he likes ‘to help the team’ and believes it’s his teammate’s turn ‘to score more goals’. The attacking partnership with the French striker has proved extremely fruitful since he arrived at the San Siro in the summer of 2023, but while the Nerazzurri captain made the most out of Thuram’s movements on the pitch and 13 assists to become the team’s undisputed top scorer last season things have since changed. The Argentinean striker is significantly…
There are few certainties within an AC Milan side that are struggling in terms of results and performances, but the midfield is one of them. As Calciomercato.com write, Youssouf Fofana and Tijjani Reijnders are ‘inseparable and irreplaceable’. They duo are two pillars for Paulo Fonseca because they always play and their partnership seems to be growing with each game. Their characteristics are complementary, and during the game against Verona on Friday we saw it first hand. The Frenchman played a quite simply brilliant through ball to the Dutchman who scored with a first-time shot, playing in a more advanced midfield…
