I knew I'd be asked more about our opponents than about Alaves... it's not my place to comment on that, but Real Madrid are very prestigious opponents and they have a manager who's earned his position for a reason. It will be very difficult because they have a lot of resources, but we will try to maintain our style and take the initiative.
Sunderland's Reinildo Mandava has been back in training following a groin injury and is in contention to return, while fellow left-back Dennis Cirkin could be available for a first appearance of the season. "Dennis is ready," said Le Bris. "He has trained properly now for two or three weeks and he's connected in the group. It's good news. Right now, we don't have many injuries."
Following a hard-fought win over Frankfurt in the Champions League in midweek, Barcelona are ready for their next challenge as they play a La Liga match against Osasuna (and their lawyers) at the Greatest Stadium on Earth on Saturday evening. Barça come into this one looking to open up a temporary seven-point lead at the top of the La Liga table with a win at home before Real Madrid and Villarreal face tricky away matches on Sunday.
Harry Byrne's goal-kicking proved the difference as error-strewn Leinster held off a determined Leicester to claim a 23-15 Investec Champions Cup victory at Mattioli Woods Welford Road. Each team scored two tries but three penalties and a conversion from Byrne were decisive as the bottom side Leicester's European campaign continued to falter and they remain pointless after their opening two fixtures.
At any rate, we got into full analysis and breakdown of their 3-2 OT loss against San Jose. Firstly, they got a point, so that means the point streak is now up to six games (4-0-2). That said, there's no question that they let that game slip away. John Klingberg tied it with 1:25 left in regulation, then Alex Wennberg potted the OT winner. And yes, we did discuss the carelessness with the puck from William Nylander and Auston Matthews late in the game.
"The younger girl had blood all over the face. She was in complete shock. I think there might have been something with her arm being dislocated because she had kind of like an awkward position. They looked in shock and easily that the explosion took out their ear drum - I assume - because people were trying to talk to them and they were not really hearing it," said Oscar Vazquez, a resident in the area.
Left-back - Milos Kerkez Our first change from Tuesday's 1-0 win over Internazionale, Milos Kerkez is likely to come in for Andy Robertson. Robertson has seldom played two games a week this season, and Kerkez's byline runs will make him a prime candidate to start a home league game at Anfield.

I'm not someone who believes in curses, ghosts, witchcraft, or supernatural forces deciding football games. After watching the Dallas Cowboys for the last 30 years, the highs, the heartbreaks, the collapses that always seem to arrive right on schedule. I can't lie: sometimes it feels like this team is fighting more than X's and O's. I'm not saying the Cowboys are literally cursed, but I am saying this franchise plays like a team that's been trying to break one since 1996.
The Toronto Raptors, amid a weeks-long collapse, are about to face a real basketball test. The first one posed to the team since 2022, which team rostered one single player who remains on the team: Scottie Barnes. (By the way, a shocking seven players from that team are no longer in the NBA.) Vis a vis that aforementioned collapse? If the Raptors continue to play unlike themselves and slime their way around the court, they could be absolutely humiliated by the Knicks, who are currently 16-7 and second in the East.
Speaking in his pre-match press conference, manager Arne Slot confirmed the nature of the absences and provided an update on their recovery timelines: Cody Gakpo will be out for a few weeks he's injured, Slot revealed, as reported by Fabrizio Romano. Federico Chiesa is out today because he's ill. We'll monitor him closely, but it's not serious. Slot did not go into detail about Endo's absence but he will be a huge miss as well along with the other two players.
It's an immensely difficult game. I think we're going to play against the best team in Europe. Besides the individual talent, they have a collective aspect that's out of the ordinary, which makes it difficult. Their game is very mobile. They're a great team and have a great coach. We're going to do our best to compete and try to win, that's the objective, despite the difficulty of the task. We're going to do our utmost to honor Sporting,
The 2025 Boston Bruins had a template for success before the puck dropped on a new campaign in October. A lot of it involved two of their franchise fixtures in Charlie McAvoy and David Pastrnak doing plenty of the heavy lifting, night in and night out. Such was the case for most of the first six weeks of the season.
The NBA's Eastern Conference is as unpredictable as any point in recent history. Superstar injuries during last season's playoffs depleted two East powers. The upstart Detroit Pistons sit atop the standings at the quarter mark.
It's always good to build momentum, to get more consistent performances. We will try to build on that. We have a good opportunity against a Slavia Prague side who are very direct and physical, man-marking all over the pitch. That can particularly make it difficult for us. It is about us making sure we perform well, with forwardness and directness in attacking play.
A man has been arrested on suspicion of assault after a number of people were sprayed with what is believed to be pepper spray at a Heathrow Airport car park, police said. A group of people who knew each other were involved in an argument which escalated and resulted in people being injured, police said, with other suspects being searched for. Twenty-one people were treated for injuries with five of those taken to hospital. The Metropolitan Police said it was an isolated incident and was not being treated as terrorism or protest-related. Earlier in the day trains were delayed and the car park was closed due to the incident but it reopened by 11:30 GMT. Police and emergency services were called at 08:11 to the multi-storey car park at Terminal 3.
