Marcelo tem lesão grau 2, e será desfalque nas próximas semanas

MatériaMais Notícias

O resultado do exame do zagueiro Marcelo saiu. E as dores sentidas no treino desta sexta-feira significam uma lesão de grau 2 na coxa esquerda do atleta do Botafogo. Assim, ele fica de três a quatro semanas fora de combate. É mais uma baixa confirmada na defesa do Botafogo, e do lado direito.

O clube está otimista quanto à recuperação. Por ter apenas 21 anos, espera que ele consiga voltar às atividades a tempo de jogar contra o Atlético Nacional (COL), no dia 13 de abril. Há, na semana seguinte, o duelo contra o Barcelona (EQU). Ambos os jogos são pela Copa Libertadores, óbvia prioridade este ano.

Marcelo vinha jogando na lateral direita por conta das graves lesões de Luis Ricardo e Jonas. Sem o trio, Marcinho e Fernandes disputam a vaga já para o duelo deste domingo, contra o Vasco, pela Taça Rio.

Matheus Fernandes e Leandrinho se lesionaram, assim como Jonas, no jogo contra o Volta Redonda, na quinta-feira da semana passada. A dupla, contudo, já foi a campo neste sábado. O volante, de chuteira; o meia, ainda de tênis.

Aston Villa: Fans react to John McGinn report

Aston Villa midfielder John McGinn will get the summer to work on becoming a more well-rounded No.6, according to Birmingham Live.

And a number of Villa supporters have been sharing their disappointment over the news on social media.

McGinn, who played at the European Championships for Scotland this summer, has been linked with a move to Liverpool in recent months.

However, Birmingham Live expect the 26-year-old, on £50,000-a-week at Villa Park, to feature alongside Marvelous Nakamba in a defensive midfield role against Watford on the opening day.

Douglas Luiz is away due to his involvement in the Olympics with Brazil and the report suggests a lot rests on McGinn being defensively-minded once again.

Smith mainly tinkered between a 4-2-3-1 and 4-3-3 system last season, with McGinn playing in an attacking midfield role on just two occasions.

Birmingham Live claimed McGinn’s threatening attacking runs in behind opposition centre-backs could now be a thing of the past.

Villa fans react

@AVFC_News shared the report on McGinn on Twitter on Thursday. This is what these Villa supporters had to say in reply…

“I beg we sack Smith soon”Credit: @OllyAVFC_”Why?? Clearly much better playing higher up the pitch”Credit: @Tomavfc15″McGinn is much better going forward IMO.”Credit: @Larterlia”McGinn is so much better carrying the ball up the pitch and arriving late into the box”Credit: @JxmesAVFC”N’Golo McGinn is not what we need lol.

بعد آرسنال.. رحيم ستيرلينج يتلقى عرضًا إنجليزيًا جديدًا

ذكرت تقارير صحفية إنجليزية أن الدولي الإنجليزي رحيم ستيرلينج، جناح فريق مانشستر سيتي، تلقى عرضًا من نادٍ جديد، للانتفال إليه في سوق الانتقالات الصيفية القادمة.

ستيرلينج يمتلك عقدًا مع مانشستر سيتي، ينتهي بعد عام في 30 يونيو 2023، والنادي السماوي لم يدخل في مفاوضات مع الجناح الإنجليزي من أجل التجديد.

ويرتبط ستيرلينج بإمكانية الرحيل عن صفوف مانشستر سيتي، ويتواجد على رادار آرسنال وميلان، وبعد تعاقد حامل لقب الدوري الإنجليزي مع النرويجي إيرلينج هالاند، أصبح رحيل رحيم يتردد بقوة في وسائل الإعلام الإنجليزية.

وقالت الشبكة إن توتنهام في مفاوضات جادة مع صاحب الـ27 عامًا ووكيل أعماله للتعاقد معه.

وأشارت الشبكة إلى أن اهتمام توتنهام بالتعاقد مع ستيرلينج، يأتي بطلب من مدرب الفريق الإيطالي أنطونيو كونتي، والذي يضع الجناح الإنجليزي على قائمة أولوياته مع السبيرز.

رحيم ستيرلينج هذا الموسم مع مانشستر سيتي، خاض 46 مباراة بمُختلف المسابقات، وتمكن من إحراز 17 هدفًا، وقدم 8 تمريرات حاسمة.

Everton interested in Samuel Chukwueze move

Everton’s transfer window has burst into life during the last 24 hours with Rafa Benitez finally getting to work in the market.

Andros Townsend has arrived on a free transfer to bolster their wide options while Asmir Begovic has signed as a back-up in the goalkeeping department.What’s the word?With Richarlison and James Rodriguez mooted as potential departures from Goodison Park this summer, Benitez needs to continue searching for offensive players in the window.Demarai Gray has been a name on their shortlist but another name has now come to the centre of their attention.According to The Athletic, Villarreal winger Samuel Chukwueze is interesting Everton.They suggest that the Toffees have ‘extensively assessed and have garnered positive feedback’ on the 22-year-old.However, they will hope to negotiate a lower fee than his buy-out clause of £55m.A player to set Everton on fireChukwueze’s numbers for goals and assists don’t point to an enormously productive player but judging by his talent and ability, he’d be a wonderful capture for Everton.The youngster has immense potential and showed against Arsenal in last season’s Europa League that he can dominate Premier League defences.He limped off injured in the second leg of the semi-final between the two teams but was a rampant threat in the first match.[snack-amp-story url= “https://www.footballfancast.com/web-stories/check-out-the-latest-everton-news-benitez-kamara-romero-dumfries” title= “Read the latest Everton transfer news!”]Chukwueze supplied the opener for Manu Trigueros while attempting nine dribbles and providing two key passes.He is a wily character who is capable of tormenting even the very best defenders. He recorded 2.4 dribbles per match in Europe last term, a number that usurps every player at Goodison.Described as “exciting” by ex-footballer Mutiu Adepoju, he’s also rapid. He’s been recorded at a speed of 34.58 km/h which would put him among the quickest players in Benitez’s side. For context, Dominic Calvert-Lewin has been tracked at 35.1 km/h.With dribbling and speed as eye-catching as that, he could whip up a storm in offensive areas for Everton.Quotes from West Brom defender Semi Ajayi also put him in a particularly good light. He once said:“I’m on the B team [at Nigeria], not in the starting lineup, and Samuel Chukwueze is in my team and he destroyed the whole first team on his own, just give him the ball, he kept destroying them to the point the coach changed his mind, that he doesn’t think it’s three at the back, it won’t work.“These times, the pitch that we were on, one pitch in Asaba, the pitch is terrible, anyone that plays for Nigeria would tell you how bad the pitch is, you cannot dribble on it.“Chukwueze got the ball at his feet, dribbling around people as it’s nothing, like he’s playing at Old Trafford.”With 17 senior career goals to his name, he does need to improve in that department but that will come with time. At the moment, he is still an incredibly dangerous player.Supporters should relish a potential opportunity to see him in Merseyside next season.

AND in other news, Rafa could discover Everton’s new Leon Osman by signing “special” 34-cap maestro…

أحمد مرتضى منصور: أفاوض لاعبي الأهلي في كل الألعاب وأحدهم وقع لـ الزمالك

أكد أحمد مرتضى منصور، عضو مجلس إدارة نادي الزمالك، أنه يتفاوض مع لاعبي الأهلي في كل الألعاب، مُشددًا على أنه وقع بالفعل مع أحد اللاعبين.

وقال أحمد مرتضى في تصريحات لبرنامج “اللعيب” عبر قناة “إم بي سي مصر”: “هذا احتراف، طالما انتهى عقد لاعب مع فريقه، من حقه التفاوض مع أي ناد طالما في التوقيت المسموح به، لأنني أفعل ذلك وأفاوض لاعبي الأهلي في كل الألعاب وهذا أمر طبيعي”.

وتابع: “أنا وقعت مع لاعب في الأهلي بلعبة ما، وتناقشنا بشأن توقيت إعلان الصفقة، وطلب مني أن ننتظر حتى تنتهي البطولة التي يشارك فيها فريقه حتى لا يؤثر الإعلان على زملائه، وأنا أحترم هذا الأمر فيه”.

وأضاف: “ليس عيبًا أن يتفاوض الزمالك مع لاعبي الأهلي والعكس، طالما في التوقيت المسموح به، إلا لو هناك اتفاق بين الناديين على عدم التفاوض مع اللاعبين حتى لا يغالوا في عقودهم”.

وبسؤاله، هل كهربا طلب العودة لـ الزمالك؟، أجاب أحمد مرتضى: “سمعت أمير مرتضى قال هذا الأمر، واللاعب طلب مني نفس الشيء من قبل، ولا أريد أن أتحدث في هذا الأمر لأنه صديق وأريده أن يركز في حياته، والرياضة أخلاق”.
