Quarter-finalists at London 2012, Egypt may want Salah as part of their squad, and Klopp said he would need to talk to his forward with the tournament to be held from July 22 to August 8 next year.

In what could prove to be a lively Championship showdown on Saturday afternoon, Norwich will welcome Blackburn to Carrow Road.

Starting with the hosts, extending on their EFL Cup adventure earlier in the week as they secured an action-packed 4-3 victory against League One outfit Stevenage, Norwich will be desperate to use that performance as a platform to build on. However, although the Canaries might have their sights firmly set on booking a play-off ticket this season, they did open the 2024/25 campaign with a worrying performance. Slumping to a 2-0 loss at the hands of Championship returners Oxford United, Johannes Thorup’s men will have plenty of mounting pressure on their shoulders. Signing off their pre-season prep…

Wolves piled further pressure on under-fire Everton boss Marco Silva with an entertaining 3-1 win at Goodison Park on Saturday.

The Toffees patchy results this season have seen the Portuguese s position come under intense scrutiny and he will not be sitting any more comfortably after Wolves picked up a third straight Premier League victory to cement their place just outside the top six.

Ruben Neves early penalty had Nuno Espirito Santo s side ahead but Everton were level midway through the first half thanks to Andre Gomes thumping first goal for the club.

However, slack marking from a free-kick allowed Raul Jimenez to head home on the stroke of half-time and Leander Dendoncker smashed in a volley midway through the second period to secure Wolves first win at G…

Crystal Palace have confirmed the signing of former Brazil international goalkeeper Diego Cavalieri on a deal to the end of the season.

The 35-year-old, who won three caps for his country and was a member of the Confederations Cup-winning squad in 2013, was a free agent after leaving Fluminense in his homeland last year.

Cavalieri will provide competition for Palace s two senior goalkeepers, Julian Speroni and Wayne Hennessey, as Roy Hodgson s side battle against relegation from the Premier League.

I am very happy to be here and have been training with the guys for some time now, Cavalieri told Palace s website.

The atmosphere in the dressing room has been really good and they have received me very well so we can talk a lot and get to know everyone. I a…

Atletico Madrid defender Juanfran says he will wait until the end of the season before deciding whether to sign a new contract with the club.

The 34-year-old agreed a one-year contract extension last June but has struggled for game time this season, making just 14 starts in LaLiga.

Despite a new deal being on the table for the former Spain international, he says he will delay making a decision until the campaign s conclusion.

I have been offered a new contract, but I have postponed it, he said. The important thing now is the team and ending the season strongly. 

Atletico have shown a lot of faith by this offer, but these decisions are not easy and I will speak with my family before I decide.

The right-back joined Atleti in January 2011 from Os…

Inter head coach Luciano Spalletti believes he has a squad capable of winning Serie A if they can avoid any notable departures during the January transfer window.

The Nerazzurri travel to Verona on Monday and know a win will move them above Lazio and Juventus into second place, just two points behind leaders Napoli.

Inter have yet to taste defeat in the league this season and Spalletti thinks they have what it takes to win their first Scudetto since the 2009-10 season, if he can keep his squad together.

The difficult part comes now, because we have to stay in that group at the top of the table, he said at his pre-match press conference.

We will now realise if we ve got the resources to achieve our objective. If we see that something else is needed, …

Not playing at his position is complicated in the long term, Wenger told beIN SPORTS.  

At the start, the guy accepts it but, if he does not meet his needs in the long term and he feels that the position does not allow him to express his qualities, he will become discouraged.

Today, he is a player who must play in the centre because he has a great work rate, a precision in his passes. 

He can be dangerous with the last pass and by scoring goals, but there is congestion because he is in the range of play of Messi.

In his first season with Barca last time out, Griezmann scored nine goals, supplied four assists and created 33 chances in 35 LaLiga appearances.

Griezmann finished 2019-20 with 15 goals in all competitions – a tumultuous camp…
