Lazio Midfielder’s Season Could Be Over as New Injury Timetable Revealed
Lazio midfielder Nicolo Rovella may have already played his last match this campaign after suffering a fractured collarbone in Sardinia.
The Background
It has been a nightmarish season for the 24-year-old, who was ruled out of action in September after struggling with a groin problem. The player wanted to avoid surgery at all costs, so he opted for an alternative therapy. However, his decision proved ill-advised, so he ended up going under the knife in November due to the lack of progress in his recovery path.

Lennart Karl hopeful of World Cup call-up
Lennart Karl is dreaming of representing Germany at this summer’s World Cup.
After FC Bayern Munich’s 3-2 win over Eintracht Frankfurt, the young attacker was asked by Kicker how he expects to spend June and July.
“I know what you mean. But for me, the only thing that counts is giving everything at Bayern – only then can I hope for a call-up. Anyone who doesn’t hope for something like that has no place in football,” replied Karl, who turned 18 on Sunday.
So far, Karl has had no direct contact with Germany coach Julian Nagelsmann.

India’s Super 8 campaign began on the worst possible note as South Africa handed them a crushing 76-run defeat at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Entering the stage as one of the strongest favourites to defend their T20 World Cup crown, the hosts were thoroughly outclassed in every department. The heavy loss not only dented their confidence but also severely damaged their net run rate.
Nothing seemed to fall into place for the defending champions. South Africa dominated with bat and ball, putting India under immediate pressure in Group 1. The equation is now simple but daunting.

Gags Tandon: “That was an absolutely awful, awful performance”
Liverpool Escape Forest Despite Dire First Half Performance Under Slot’s Tactics

Liverpool left the City Ground with three precious points, but not many illusions. This was not dominance, not control, not even competence for long spells. It was survival. And in a season defined by fragile confidence and tactical experimentation under Arne Slot, survival can feel like progress.

Tyrone manager Malachy O’Rourke says Darragh Canavan will be “a big loss” for the remainder of the league as the Red Hands seek to “fight our way out” of a relegation battle in Division Two.
His side’s 1-15 to 0-13 defeat by Louth in Ardee leaves them with three points from four games, level with Kildare and one point above Cavan in the drop zone.
At the outset of the campaign, Tyrone were regarded as one of the favourites for promotion and while they are not out of the running with three games to go, finishing in the top two seems like a long shot.

[BBC]
There have been times in the past when you are playing Arsenal that Bukayo Saka and Martin Odegaard are the two players you know you need to stop.
If they could condense play in their areas, teams would think they could control them – and if it goes over to another part of the pitch, they can cope with it.
On Sunday, however, it felt like Arsenal were coming from every angle in the end. Eberechi Eze, especially, was getting on the ball in these pockets of space in front of the Tottenham defence.
That helped Viktor Gyokeres too, because it meant there was more room for him.

LOS ANGELES — The Los Angeles Lakers planned for their Sunday afternoon meeting with the rival Boston Celtics to be a celebration of stars. From the courtside presence of A-listers — like former soccer star David Beckham and Grammy award-winning musician Lionel Richie — to the pregame honors bestowed upon legendary Lakers coach Pat Riley in the form of a new statue, Laker Land embraced its most famous inhabitants. Yet, someone a lot less famous stole the show.
Celtics point guard Payton Pritchard dominated at the Crypto.

Carragher Verdict on Gakpo, Jones and Salah After Forest Escape

Liverpool left the City Ground with three points, though not with certainty. A 1-0 win at Nottingham Forest, sealed in the 97th minute by Alexis Mac Allister, carried the air of relief rather than control. For Jamie Carragher, it carried something else entirely.

“That’s one of the biggest robberies I’ve seen in the Premier League this season, it really is,” Carragher said on Sky Sports.

Reports emerging from Fichajes suggest Liverpool are preparing for a significant shift in their attacking line up, with Anthony Gordon linked as a potential long term replacement for Mohamed Salah.

For weeks, the whisper around Europe’s corridors of power had been simple: Real Madrid wanted a centre-back, and Ibrahima Konate’s contract situation made him an attractive possibility. Now, according to reporting first detailed by TEAMtalk, that narrative has shifted. Madrid, it seems, have settled elsewhere, and Liverpool find themselves in a curious position — relieved yet uneasy.

The San Francisco 49ers lost cornerback Charvarius Ward in free agency last offseason, and while they added a couple of veterans and a rookie to try to replace him, their secondary was still lacking in 2025.
Heading into 2026, San Francisco is set to return their entire cornerback room, with Chase Lucas being the only restricted free agent of the group.
Still, the 49ers should be looking to add at cornerback this offseason, which is why Bleacher Report’s Alex Kay recently picked the team as the best fit for Tairq Woolen in free agency.

The Magic were already facing an uphill battle when they entered Sunday’s game against the Clippers inside Intuit Dome.
Not only was Orlando at a rest disadvantage playing on the second night of a back-to-back at Los Angeles, but Jamahl Mosley‘s squad was also without Franz Wagner (left high ankle sprain injury management) and Jalen Suggs (back spasms) for a second game in a row.
But after falling by three points in double overtime Saturday night at Phoenix, the Magic didn’t let the excuses stop them from digging deep late and capturing a 111-109 victory over the Clippers on the road.

The Minnesota Vikings are in a tough spot. 
The team has an elite defense that’s good enough to make the playoffs, but the quarterback play just hasn’t been good enough. However, because of said defense, the Vikings still won nine games last year and don’t have a high draft pick. 
Plus, the Vikings just drafted J.J. McCarthy in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft.

LeBron James hasn’t forgotten that one clip of Jaylen Brown.
The Los Angeles Lakers star was asked about his relationship with Brown on Sunday night, shortly after the team’s 111-89 loss to the Boston Celtics. While he didn’t have anything bad to say, he did reference a moment from a Summer League game a few years ago in which Brown was caught criticizing James’ eldest son, and current Lakers player, Bronny James.

“Our relationship has been pretty respectful,” James said. “Besides that s**t he said about Bronny at Summer League, but other than that, we’ve been alright.

SEATTLE (AP) — Paul Rothrock had a goal and an assist after replacing an injured Jordan Morris early in the first half and the Seattle Sounders beat the Colorado Rapids 2-0 in a rainy season opener on Sunday night.
Seattle lost Morris to a noncontact injury in the 8th minute and Rothrock had a hand in staking the Sounders to a 1-0 lead seven minutes later when he hustled to keep the ball in play, setting up a header by Albert Rusnák for a long nifty assist.
Hassani Dotson appeared to score three minutes later in his Sounders debut but had it waived off for a foul after a video review.

Real Madrid make decision on Jose Mourinho return as manager
Real Madrid could be looking for a new manager in the summer, with Alvaro Arbeloa only contracted until the end of the season.
