With Diego Forlan taking over as Uruguay's interim coach, the legendary striker left the door open for an eventual return of Luis Suarez to the team: "Why not?" Diego Forlan‘s tenure as interim head coach of the Uruguay national team has officially begun, as the legendary striker inherits the responsibility of orchestrating a rebuild following a disappointing 2026 World Cup campaign. Addressing potential roster changes moving forward, Forlan left the door open for an eventual return of former teammate Luis Suarez to La Celeste, asking simply, “Why not?“ Originally serving as Uruguay‘s Under-20 head coach, Forlan will step in as interim manager through March 2027, ahead of the Uruguayan Football Association’s upcoming presidential elections. The opening follows Marcelo Bielsa’s resignation after Uruguay’s group-stage elimination from the World Cup, a tournament where the Argentine manager notably excluded Suarez from his squad. However, during his introductory press conference, Forlán made it clear that Suárez remains in his thoughts: “I have enormous affection for Luis and a lot of confidence in him. If he is eligible for selection—he is Uruguayan—so being able to have a player like Luis with that experience… He has goals in him and keeps showing it every weekend he plays, why not? That will be seen further down the line. Nobody is going to debate who Luis is.” Suarez and Forlan famously headlined Uruguay’s memorable 2010 World Cup run to the semifinals, highlighted by Forlan’s Golden Ball performance and Suárez’s iconic goal-line handball against Ghana. The attacking duo also shared the pitch at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil and led Uruguay to victory in the 2011 Copa América in Argentina, securing the country’s most recent major international trophy.

(Ernesto Ryan/Getty Images) Suarez previously made his ceremonial farewell appearance for Uruguay in a World Cup qualifier against Paraguay in September 2024. However, prior to the World Cup, the veteran forward left room for a potential return, stating, “I would never say no to the national team.” Ultimately, Bielsa opted to leave the Inter Miami striker off his roster for the tournament in North America. When reporters reminded Forlan of Suarez’s willingness to return, the new interim coach reiterated his open-door policy for his longtime teammate. “Honestly, I didn’t know he had said that, but if he did, he is more than welcome,” he affirmed. Suarez’s strong form could fuel international comeback Suarez has reignited his form with Inter Miami after regaining a featured role under head coach Guillermo Hoyos. The 39-year-old forward has made 15 appearances across all competitions in 2026, delivering 10 goals and two assists while demonstrating impressive efficiency in front of the net compared to Uruguay’s current attacking options. During the World Cup, Bielsa’s forward line struggled to generate offense, relying on Darwin Nuñez, Federico Viñas, and Rodrigo Aguirre, none of whom scored any of Uruguay’s three tournament goals. As a result, a potential Suarez return would be fueled not only by his strong club form, but also by Uruguay’s lingering need for proven goalscoring depth up front.

Arsenal were ‘used’ by Real Madrid superstar Vinicius Junior, says John Obi Mikel (Picture: The Obi One Podcast) Chelsea hero John Obi Mikel has trolled Arsenal supporters after the club missed out on signing Vinicius Junior, asking the fanbase ‘what they were smoking’ to convince them a deal was possible. Vinicius emerged as a surprise transfer target for Arsenal on the back of the club’s title triumph last season, with Mikel Arteta said to be ‘absolutely smitten’ with the idea of capturing the Brazilian. A proposed move had been approved ‘at all levels’ at the Emirates and the Gunners were reportedly ready to make the 26-year-old the highest-paid player in Premier League history. But Vinicius would go on to commit his future to Real Madrid, putting pen to paper on a six-year contract extension at the Bernabeu, forcing the English champions to consider alternatives elsewhere.

It’s understood PSG’s Bradley Barcola and Juventus’ Kenan Yildiz remain on Arsenal’s radar with three weeks remaining of the transfer window, but it would likely take an earth-shattering offer to coax either club into a deal before the deadline. Prior to Vinicius signing his extension, Obi Mikel told Arsenal fans to ‘forget’ about the 2024 Ballon d’Or runner-up, insisting the attacker was simply ‘using’ the Gunners to get a better deal. And in the latest episode of The Obi One Podcast, the former Chelsea and Nigeria midfielder couldn’t resist reminding supporters of his previous remarks. Vinicius ignored interest from Arsenal to sign a new six-year deal in Madrid (Picture: Getty) Arsenal had reportedly been prepared to make Vinicius the highest-paid player in Premier League history (Picture: Getty) Asked if signing a new deal had perhaps been Vinicius’ plan all along, Obi Mikel replied: ‘Of course, mate. F***inghell. I don’t know what the Arsenal fans were expecting. ‘You win the league after 22 years and then you all of a sudden think: that’s it, you’ve arrived, you’re one of the big boys again. No, you’re not. ‘They’ve just been humbled because I said it: there’s no way Vinicius Junior is leaving Real Madrid to go to Arsenal, a club that’s won one title in 22 years. ‘This guy wins titles, he’s won lots of titles at Real Madrid.

Niko Kovac masterminded Borussia Dortmund’s 3-2 win over Arsenal (Credits: Sportimage) Borussia Dortmund head coach Niko Kovac offered one struggling Arsenal star a surprising vote of confidence following Sunday’s 3-2 win. Mikel Arteta’s side slumped to a second consecutive pre-season defeat, this time in front of their own fans at Emirates Stadium. Although he got on the scoresheet with a second half penalty, it was another disappointing afternoon for Viktor Gyokeres. The Sweden international looked well off the pace against Real Betis last week in his first outing since his World Cup exploits against Sweden and was again the focus of much criticism in the aftermath of yesterday’s reversal.

Despite another poor showing, Kovac singled out the former Sporting Lisbon star for surprise praise when asked if any Arsenal players caught his eye. He said: ‘There are a lot of top players when you see Gyokeres he is strong, he is quick, he is fast he is very direct. ‘We know him very well but I can mention all the players.’ Viktor Gyokeres struggled in Arsenal’s defeat against Borussia Dortmund (Credits: Alamy Live News.) Arteta, meanwhile, has backed ‘warrior’ Bruno Guimaraes to ‘ignite something different’ in the Premier League champions. Brazil midfielder Guimaraes was introduced to Gunners fans ahead of Sunday’s 3-2 defeat after completing his £75million move from Newcastle. The 28-year-old, who has signed a four-year deal, bolsters a star-studded midfield which already boasts the likes of Declan Rice, Martin Odegaard, Mikel Merino, Martin Zubimendi and Eberechi Eze. Bruno Guimaraes was unveiled ahead of the game against Dortmund (Credits: Alamy Live News.) ‘You can see the immediate reaction,” Arteta told the club website after Guimaraes was given a warm reception by supporters. ‘I think he describes himself as a warrior. I think he’s a warrior with a tremendous quality as well and intuition and leadership and charisma that is going to help us, that is going to really ignite something different in the team. ‘I think he’s going to push everybody inside the team as well and that’s the type of player that we need.’ Comment now Comments Add Metro as a Preferred Source on Google Add as preferred source

What better way to create it than signing a prodigious talent from Real Madrid? The Villans have inquired about the Brazilian Endrick, who impressed on loan at Lyon last season, and may make a similar temporary move to the Premier League.Manchester City are not particularly keen to sell Rodri but, with a year left on his contract money may well talk, especially if the midfielder wants to leave.
