Arsenal forward Kai Havertz has suffered a fresh injury setback and is likely to miss the north London derby against Tottenham, sources have told ESPN. The 26-year-old has been restricted to just seven appearances this season and only returned to action last month after suffering a knee problem on the opening weekend of the campaign. The exact nature of the injury is unclear but sources suggest it is a muscular issue with Havertz sidelined for Thursday's Premier League trip to Brentford.

Dallas Mavericks rookie Cooper Flagg has a left midfoot sprain that will sideline him through All-Star Weekend, the team announced Wednesday. He is expected to be available immediately after the break, a team source told ESPN. An MRI on Wednesday revealed the sprain, which occurred during Dallas' game at Phoenix on Tuesday, according to the team.

Barcelona stars Marcus Rashford and Raphinha both missed training on Wednesday as Hansi Flick's side continued preparations for tomorrow's Copa del Rey semi-final against Atletico Madrid. Raphinha is still yet to resume first-team training after being diagnosed with an overload and has admitted this week that that he's "better, but not 100%" yet. However, Rashford also did not take part in the session, meaning he also appears to be a doubt for the game.

I walk the fencerow with the men,blaze-orange vest draped like a gown.I am too young to have the gunin season when we are afield the string of pearls the wounds can make.

Even if we sign a player and he's not even playing for us he gets injured. Sometimes it feels like that but the moment you start to feel it's all bad luck, it probably comes to you as well so we should keep it away as much as possible and focus on the performance and what we can do to improve it.

Pascal Struijk will definitely miss this game; he has problems with his hip flexor. [Anton] Stach will be back, probably just for the [Aston] Villa game. Apart from this, I hope to have everyone available. You miss a player with red-hot form. Pascal was a rock in the last weeks. He is the only left-footed centre-back. If you play with three at the back, it makes a difference. A right-footed player has different passing angles.

Liverpool were beaten by Manchester City on Sunday and suffered the late twist of a red card for Dominik Szoboszlai, who will miss the Reds' midweek fixture through suspension. If the current Liverpool side endured a sour weekend, future teammate Jeremy Jacquet was already in worse shape after he was forced out of Rennes' Ligue 1 loss away at Lens.

The Bruins' center had to be dropped from the Czechia Olympic team roster because of the upper body injury he suffered in the January 29 game against the Philadelphia Flyers. Zacha had held out hope that he would be able to play in the Milan-Cortina Games but on Saturday he had to be replaced on the roster by Filip Chlapik of he Czech Extraliaga.

John Carlson left Thursday night's game between the Washington Capitals and Nashville Predators with a lower-body injury. Carlson departed after taking just nine shifts in the first period, not returning for the rest of the Capitals' 4-2 victory. How Carlson was injured wasn't clear during the game, but Caps head coach Spencer Carbery didn't sound too worried about the veteran rearguard postgame.

"Pablo Barrios is suffering from a muscle injury to his right thigh, diagnosed by the club's medical staff following tests carried out on the midfielder, who was forced to leave Thursday's match against Real Betis midway through the second half. "The number 8 will undergo physiotherapy treatment and rehabilitation work in the gym, and the evolution of the injury will determine his return to competition," Atleti's statement read.

He's already back with the group. But a player like him, who is preparing for important goals, needs to be in good shape to return. He is fully dedicated so that, when he steps onto the pitch again, he can perform as everyone expects him to. He wants the World Cup. He needs to train, to fight one-on-one in training ... He's a human being. We're not going to rush him. I'm the first one who needs him, his teammates, too. But we want him to be well. When he's well, he makes an important difference like no one else can,

What happened with Ter Stegen is tough. You sign a goalkeeper and then he gets injured; it was a tragedy.

Jonathan Huberdeau's 2025-26 campaign is reportedly over. The veteran winger scored Calgary's opening goal on the power play in a 4-3 win over Edmonton, but Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman is reporting that it was Huberdeau's final game of the season. The 32-year-old now requires hip surgery and will miss the remainder of the year.

"I hit my head and will not be able to compete in big air tonight, unfortunately," McMorris posted on Instagram, adding that he would be ready to go for the slopestyle contest, which starts Feb. 16. "Just trying to stay positive and focus on that event," McMorris added. "Huge thanks to the incredible medical staff who took great care of me and to everyone who reached out with so much love and support."

In case you missed it - I'm envious if you did not watch the Blackhawks' game last night - the biggest news coming from the event wasn't the lifeless first period performance that buried Chicago. It was defenseman Wyatt Kaiser needing assistance to leave the ice early in the game after his leg/knee were landed on awkwardly.

Monaco have dropped Paul Pogba from their Champions League squad for the knockout stages in order to make room for their January new signings, sources have told ESPN. Pogba, who will turn 33 next month, has not played since the start of December and has only featured three times this season for the club -- a pair of five minute cameos against Rennes and PSG in November and again off the bench against Brest.

After USC leading scorer Chad Baker-Mazara went down early in the second half with what appeared to be a knee injury, freshman Alijah Arenas knew what he needed to do. When Trojan starters Ezra Ausar and Jacob Cofie fouled out late in the second half, nothing changed. USC's game against Indiana (15-8, 6-6 Big Ten) Tuesday night at the Galen Center was close early.

"I don't want to talk about the injury, I've never refused a fight, no matter who I fight, no matter what the situation, the preparation is at a good level, it's done, no matter how much you kick, I can't change it. "I still have five fights left in this [organization]. I've been extended for a new contract. There are still many interesting battles ahead."
