Naby Keita is facing yet another spell on the sidelines at new club Werder Bremen, picking up a new injury on his first start for the German club. Intended to be a new start, Keita’s free transfer to Werder Bremen saw the midfielder take a significant pay cut on his previous earnings at Liverpool. The Guinean opted for a step down, from challenging at the top end of the Premier League and Champions League to mid-table in the Bundesliga, in order to revive his fortunes. But the same fitness problems are still plaguing him, with Keita missing the majority of pre-season and the start of…
Real Madrid have been in excellent so far this season, and this is despite the issues they have had in central defence. Eder Militao’s ACL injury left Carlo Ancelotti with just three senior centre-backs, but the situation has been managed fairly well so far. However, with Nacho Fernandez suspended and David Alaba injured, Aurelien Tchouameni filled in as a makeshift centre-back against Osasuna on Saturday. The Austrian international is expected to return after the international break, and with El Clasico at the end of the month, this is excellent news for Real Madrid. However, even with Alaba set to return,…
Real Madrid Juvenil C assistant coach Adria Diaz was in the headlines last week for reportedly being close to losing his job. The club administration was unhappy with the letter of gratitude he penned for FC Barcelona in 2019 when the club supported him during some difficult moments during his tenure in Catalonia. He called Barcelona the club of his dreams and life as part of the letter, prompting Real Madrid to axe him from his post immediately. Now, according to reports from Jorge C Picon, Real Madrid are backing down from their initial decision. They will retain Adria Diaz in his position…
Real Madrid attacker Vinicius Junior talked to Real Madrid TV and explained his feelings after receiving the love and support from the Santiago Bernabeu faithful. “It is always an honor the affection I receive from these fans and the one I have for them. I am very happy to play here and I want to continue playing here for the rest of my life,” said Vinicius. The fans at the Santiago Bernabeu have always had Vinicius’ back and the Brazilian attacker clearly knows how big of a privilege that is. Vinicius has gone through some rough times during his tenure in…
Arsenal legend Ian Wright has claimed that William Saliba is so good he could play for Real Madrid. Wright was reacting to Saliba’s performance in the 1-0 win over Manchester City on Sunday. The Frenchman and his defensive partner, Gabriel Magalhaes, kept out Erling Haaland and his teammates at the Emirates. The result ensured that the Gunners went joint-top of the Premier League table with Tottenham. “You have to look at him and think to yourself, Saliba could play for Real Madrid right now, no danger. He could play for any of them, could play for anyone he wants. “So,…
Barcelona appear to be dealing with injury problems lately, with key players potentially missing the upcoming El Clasico as a result of them. Robert Lewandowski recently was dealt a problem and he could potentially be out of the game against Real Madrid as a result. And now another high-profile name seems to be joined him on the list of doubts. Barcelona have slipped down to third in the La Liga table and are three points behind league leaders Real Madrid right now. Thus, the upcoming El Clasico is very important to both teams and is what is considered a ‘six-pointer’…
Liverpool have been urged to make a January move for Fulham’s Joao Palhinha by former Premier League midfielder Robbie Savage. Despite a summer spending spree on four new midfield recruits, the Reds’ defensive options in the engine room are somewhat limited. Alexis Mac Allister has been deployed further back, out of his natural position further forward, while Wataru Endo has been used primarily in cup competitions so far. Stefan Bajcetic is still feeling his way back from injury. Mac Allister clearly isn’t a long-term answer in the deeper role, highlighted by him playing a part in the errors that led to his former club Brighton…
Gary Neville has admitted Liverpool have started the season far stronger than he imagined – but has stood firm in his prediction of Arsenal to win the Premier League title. Liverpool sit fourth in the Premier League after the final round of fixtures after they came from behind to secure a 2-2 draw at Brighton & Hove Albion on Sunday afternoon. The Reds currently sit three points behind Tottenham Hotspur, who are leading the way heading into the October international break. After also visiting Chelsea, Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur so far this season Liverpool have suffered just one defeat…
Another exciting weekend in the Premier League has left the top four in a tight squeeze, with Liverpool right in the thick of it. The Reds didn’t quite manage to get back to winning ways after last weekend’s controversy at Tottenham, having been pegged back in a 2-2 draw with Brighton. Nevertheless, Jürgen Klopp’s side is challenging for the top at this early stage, which is certainly more than can be said about any stage of last season. Tottenham and Arsenal lead the way currently, with Liverpool three points back in fourth, while Manchester City lies just a point ahead in third following its…
Brighton boss Roberto De Zerbi refused to be drawn in on whether Pascal Gross should have been sent off in their draw against Liverpool. The Reds battled to a 2-2 stalemate on the south coast in the Premier League yesterday. Simon Adringa opened the scoring for Brighton in the 20th minute but Liverpool hit back before half-time. Mo Salah struck the equalised on 40 minutes before Dominik Szoboszlai won Liverpool a penalty five minutes later. The midfielder won possession deep in enemy territory and was then dragged back by Gross inside the area. Despite there being calls that a clear…
