It would be fascinating to know which algorithms or eagle-eyed staff in Ipswich’s recruitment department spotted the potential in Emersonn to score the goals to keep them in the Premier League.Thirteen games, no goals and a serious knee injury at the Brazilian side Athletico Paranaense; two league goals in 17 games at Turkish side Goztepe; then six in 28 at French side Toulouse. A modest return and not one that screams he would be ready to break down doors in the English top flight. Continue reading...
Kosta Nedeljkovic does not feel under pressure playing in the right-back position former Ibrox captain James Tavernier made his own for 11 years. The 20-year-old joined Rangers on loan from Aston Villa on Wednesday and made his debut the following day as a substitute in the 1-0 home win against Jablonec in their Conference League play-off first leg. "Ibrox is one of the famous and most popular stadiums in the world, so it's a big desire to play here, it was an amazing atmosphere, so I'm very happy to make my debut for this amazing club and we are going step-by-step," Serbia international Nedeljkovic said.
Striker must win over new head coach after tough first season at Liverpool – starting on Sunday at an inhospitable St James’ ParkWhen Liverpool’s team bus turns a tight corner and inches down the narrow, covered, access road behind Newcastle’s Milburn Stand on Sunday, Alexander Isak will know there are no hiding places. After that coach pulls up, its occupants must navigate a set of painted steps before reaching the glass-doored sanctuary of the players’ entrance at St James’ Park. It is a short climb but only a handful of portable metal barriers separate visiting sides from congregated Newcastle fans. When particularly disliked opponents arrive, it can all feel loudly claustrophobic.Once inside, Isak, who spent most of last summer staging a form of unilateral industrial action in order to force a £125m move from Tyneside to Merseyside, must negotiate a human chicane of once-familiar club staff stationed along the route to the away dressing room. If eye contact may be minimal, two factors should soften the pre-match mood surrounding his first return to St James’ Park. Eddie Howe has been replaced by Matthias Jaissle and the latest meeting between Newcastle and Liverpool will play out against an outpouring of love for Kevin Keegan, following his death in July.

Lionel Messi received a fine for his incident with Quinn Sullivan, but he'll be available to face Toronto FC. Lionel Messi has avoided a suspension after the MLS Disciplinary Committee completed its review of his midweek incident with Quinn Sullivan, confirming the Inter Miami captain will be available for Saturday’s match against Toronto FC. According to journalist José Armando, Messi received only an economic sanction as a result of the review, closing the book on a situation that had cast doubt over his availability for the upcoming fixture. The incident stemmed from Inter Miami‘s 2-2 draw with the Philadelphia Union, when Messi appeared to make contact with Sullivan’s head during a heated second-half confrontation. While a one-match ban had been floated as a possibility under league rules, the committee ultimately determined a fine was the appropriate outcome, consistent with how MLS has handled similar hands-to-the-head incidents involving Messi in the past. The amount of the fine has not been disclosed. Esta acción de Lionel Messi será evaluada por el Comité Disciplinario.Lo más normal sería que resulte en una sanción económica. La ley permite suspensión de partido.Sucedió en el segundo tiempo del empate frente a Philadelphia Union.#InterMiamiCF #Messi…— José Armando (@Jarm21) August 20, 2026 With the disciplinary matter now resolved, Messi is set to lead Inter Miami into Saturday’s clash against Toronto FC as the team looks to snap its recent slide and get back on track in the MLS standings. MLS also rules on the Cavan Sullivan and Ian Fray incident The Disciplinary Committee’s review didn’t stop at Messi. The MLS also rescinded the red card shown to Cavan Sullivan for his role in the stoppage-time scuffle with Yannick Bright, while Ian Fray was hit with an economic fine for his part in sparking the confrontation. Bright, however, still holds his red card, and his potential suspension remains unresolved. Based on precedent, the punishment for physical altercations of this kind has typically landed between two and three matches: Sergio Busquets received a two-game ban for punching Obed Vargas in the face at the 2025 Leagues Cup final. MLS is expected to announce Bright’s sanction in the coming hours.
