City's loans exhibition day 'definitely a worthwhile exercise'
Manchester City welcomed clubs to their training ground on Tuesday to showcase the talent on offer during the summer transfer window. City have held such days for a number of years, where a short training session is put on in front of watching scouts, heads of recruitment and agents from Championship and other Football League clubs. All three have made first-team debuts for City, while 20-year-old centre-back Alleyne and left-back Wilson-Esbrand, 23, have both spent time away on loan.
‘I would like Argentina because of Lionel Messi’, Gavi picks his preferred match if Spain reach the final
Gavi picked his favorite team to play against if Spain reach the final. There are still many things to be decided at the 2026 World Cup with just one semifinalist set after France beat Morocco. The next team that can join them is Spain, who face Belgium, but Gavi was asked about who he would like to play in a possible final. Gavi said: “I hope to be important at the World Cup. I dream of scoring the winning goal. I have always dreamed of scoring an overhead kick in the final. They are dreams, and hopefully they come true. I would like Argentina because of Lionel Messi, but as long as we reach the final, it doesn’t matter who it is.” It will not be easy for Spain to reach the last match of the competition, as they first need to beat Belgium, a team that has improved throughout the tournament, before a possible semifinal against France. Gavi does not underestimate Belgium While Spain may have more chances on paper, Belgium are coming from their best performance of the competition. After struggling to come back against Senegal, they beat the USMNT 4-1 in a convincing performance. Cape Verde and Austria were the midfielder’s only matches (Charlotte Wilson/Getty Images) Even if they did not look like a team capable of going far at the beginning, Belgium still have many players of great quality who can be competitive, something the midfielder mentioned when discussing their next rivals. Gavi said: “I don’t like talking about that. Belgium have great players, just like Portugal. We have to do our job very well. If we do that, things will surely go well. The important thing is beating Belgium.” Gavi on his lack of participation The competition has not gone as Gavi expected individually, as he has not participated in three matches. Even though he was in the lineup against Cape Verde, the draw made Luis de la Fuente change his plans. This left the midfielder out of the team, with him playing just six minutes against Austria. Gavi said: “I came here to win the World Cup. The manager knows me better than anyone. We all want to play more, but what really matters is winning the World Cup. He knows he can count on me for whatever he needs.”

WORLD CUP 2026: Though many saw Spain’s Euro 2024 triumph as a move away from the famed ‘tiki-taka’ style, Chris Wilson argues that Luis de la Fuente has simply created a more modern version – that could lead La Roja to another World Cup
‘Triple Espresso’ returns: Swanson, Wilson and Rodman reunite for USWNT friendlies against Brazil
Mallory Swanson, Sophia Wilson and Trinity Rodman will reunite for a pair of friendlies next month against Brazil, the federation announced on Wednesday. The trio powered the USWNT to their gold medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics, scoring 10 of the team’s 12 goals, but a combination of injuries and pregnancy layoffs meant 21 months would pass before they again appeared on the same roster. Swanson and Wilson both announced their pregnancies last spring and did not appear for club or country in 2025.
