"If Cole Palmer decides to move away from Chelsea then that's his business, but I just want him to respect the club, because they are the ones who have given him the tools to become the player he is now, Desailly told Card Player. "I would love him to stay at Stamford Bridge because he's got a key role in the team, even if Enzo Maresca used him in various positions."

"The Heat do have interest," he said recently on Sirius XM NBA. "I would like to see him in Miami. I would like to see him in Miami because of the structure. [Miami Heat president Pat Riley] being there - he's never been shy to bring on guys who have questionable paths. I think it would be good for Ja Morant not just as a player, but as a man to go into there. The Miami culture is different. It really is."

Arsenal forward Gabriel Martinelli has been heavily criticised for pushing Liverpool's Conor Bradley off the pitch while he was badly injured. The Reds right-back ended up having to be stretchered off at the Emirates Stadium, but it seems that Martinelli initially shoved him as he thought he was time-wasting towards the end of the game. Martinelli is now being criticised by journalists on X for his shocking behaviour towards Bradley, whose injury proved to look pretty serious.

Liverpool fear Alexander Isak may have suffered a significant lower leg injury after the striker was forced off during Saturday's 2-1 Premier League win over Tottenham. The Sweden international came on as a substitute and broke the deadlock for Arne Slot's side, but was caught by Micky van de Ven immediately after striking the ball. Isak attempted to continue but was unable to play on and was eventually withdrawn.

"He has meant a lot to our team, both on and off the field," Quinn said. "He's been an ideal teammate to help set a standard and about habits and so we're all bummed for him."

He asked me about Moi's red card. It's a red card, but why was Bentancur's against Reece not a red card when we were at Spurs away? As a manager, we struggle to understand why they judge in different way. Moi's is red card, yes. Bentancur's is a red card, yes. Why they don't give him a red card? We struggle to understand.

Santiago Gimenez announced his own injury, and there have been several questions asked as a result of the AC Milan striker's post. When Ardon Jashari posted about his injury on Instagram, he was confirming reports and a press release from the club. However, when Gimenez took to Instagram this week, it was not close to being the same. Instead, it was more of a personal statement released by him and from him that he was going to be out for a period.

Scunthorpe United player Jonathan Gjoshe "sustained non-life-threatening injuries" when he was slashed across the bicep, the club told the BBC. Anthony Williams, 32, of no fixed abode, has been charged over the incident. Matt Ellis, from the Iron Bru podcast, said they set up the fundraiser to help the player while he recovers from his injuries. It was "absolutely horrendous", Mr Ellis said. He praised both Scunthorpe Utd fans and the wider football community for supporting the appeal.

The New York Mets announced Wednesday that star shortstop Francisco Lindor underwent an elbow debridement procedure on his right arm, but is expected to be ready for full baseball activities come spring training. Debridement surgery removes painful or damaged areas of a tendon, and it was deemed a minor procedure to clean up Lindor's nagging elbow. Lindor had surgery to remove bone spurs from that same elbow in 2023, but it has done little to keep him off the field.

I hate when it's the same, to be honest,

Share Newcastle make two changes to the starting XI sent out to face Arsenal in the 2-1 Premier League defeat at St James' Park last Sunday. Kieran Trippier and Anthony Elanga replace Tino Livramento and Jacob Murphy. The latter drops to the bench, but Livramento could be out for six to eight weeks after suffering a knee injury against the Gunners.

Florida Panthers captain Aleksander Barkov went down with an apparent injury to his right leg during a practice skate on Thursday, joining a growing list of players who are unavailable for the team right now. After an awkward collision with teammate Niko Mikkola sent Barkov down to the ice, he struggled to get up and was ultimately helped off the rink without putting any weight on his right leg. Barkov is currently undergoing evaluation to determine how serious the injury is.

We showed a gritty and determined nature to us today, and I think that was important. You have to do that here at Millwall because they're a good side and it's a really difficult place to come -- I've managed here many times and I've played here, and you've got to be stand up and be counted. Every single player, everybody who's on the coach, has got to do their bit to make sure you give yourself the best chance of getting a result.

"I think is a short-term thing," Boston manager Alex Cora said of Gonzalez before Saturday's game. "He wasn't bouncing back the way we expected early."

Nunez highlighted that being sent down allowed him to refine his pitches and get into game shape, preparing him for a successful return to the majors.

I'm just going to leave it as we've got a bunch of guys working through some things, progressing, potentially playing on Monday, potentially not.
