It's too soon for Pedri and Olmo to play the full ninety minutes. There are many matches in the coming weeks and this is a very long season. Olmo needs time; there were options for him to come in, the same with Pedri. They'll be on the bench and might get some playing time, but there are many matches in the coming weeks, in the next month; it's a long road until the end of the season. Perhaps it's too soon for them to play 90 minutes.

He is going to renew. There are still some details to be ironed out, but we've discussed it.

Xabi Alonso has said he's "not paying attention" to speculation about his future at Real Madrid, and insisted a message of support from the club is "not necessary" as his struggling team prepares to face Olympiacos in the Champions League.

I always see a call-up to the national team as recognition, and Lamine is the best in the world in his position,

We created a lot of chances, but if we're honest, Girona created a lot in the first half. The next few games are very important for us, and we need Pedri to be fresh; he's incredibly important for the team. We have to manage the minutes of players like that, including Lamine.

Part of the problem is that virtually all of the players are called up for international duty. This increases the risk of muscular fatigue, which is the culprit for most of the injuries, making it even more necessary for the coaching staff to have depth they can turn to and rely on. It also asks the questions of the manager and the medical staff. Most of the players at Barcelona are experiencing short term injuries.

He deserves a huge compliment. Especially during the phases last year when things were difficult for some players - myself included,

Jimmy Butler's recent social media post featuring him in a Warriors uniform serves as a reminder of the Miami Heat's struggle to replace his impactful presence.

I've played fantasy football since around 1998, with my first quarterback being Gus Frerotte. I've learned numerous strategies through various league formats over the years.

Will Venable emphasizes the importance of putting players in the best positions to succeed while balancing long-term implications for the team. He continues to learn and adapt methods for better player deployment.

Shane Smith pitched three innings in a loss to Cleveland, allowing two runs from back-to-back homers. He is planned for abbreviated starts to manage workload.

"Obviously, I never want him out of the lineup, but I feel like it's one of those that hopefully pays some dividends in the long run of keeping him fresh."

Sitting Soto didn’t seem helpful to the immediate goal of sweeping the Pirates, but in a long season, everybody merits a breather and needs to play now and then.

Freeman has acknowledged that even though he hates sitting out games, he may need to take more rest days during the season to manage his ankle.

"I have got to take care of Alvy, too. I am not going to run him into the ground and Louie is playing well. That's a luxury to have - when you have got two guys you feel good about your chances, it doesn't matter who's in the lineup."

"Psychology is part of the job and is part of the game with the players. The way you deal with the press is not going to win matches. Not at all. But, with the players? Yes."
