For a self-described introvert who despises attention from the media and has shed tears during multiple routine press conferences in recent years, Naomi Osaka sure does have a knack for bringing attention to herself.

The 20-year-old center back signed with Chelsea last summer, then finished out the 2024 season at Boca Juniors, before joining up with the Blues in January. But he’s made just one appearance since, and that just a last-minute cameo at the Club World Cup.
Dortmund have been hit with several defensive injuries here at the start of the season, so Anselmino should have a few opportunities to play and impress.
The New York Jets waived a bunch of promising young talents on Tuesday as they submitted their 53-man roster.
