Jurgen Klopp has told Darwin Nunez not to dwell on the disappointment of his home debut red card against Crystal Palace.
The Liverpool striker was sent off just before the hour mark of their 1-1 draw with Palace on Monday after reacting to a shove from Joachim Andersen by pushing his head into the Dane s face and will be suspended for the Reds trip to Manchester United on Monday.
Nunez posted an apology on Twitter on Tuesday, and Klopp – who confirmed Roberto Firmino is back in training – insists the Uruguayan should move on quickly.
Of course we spoke to Darwin, and his reaction was like the reaction is in these situations, Klopp told reporters on Friday. He was very disappointed with himself obviously that it happened, we spoke to him, the things the centr…
New York Red Bulls forward Lewis Morgan has been added to Scotland s preliminary squad for Euro 2024 following the withdrawals of Lyndon Dykes and Ben Doak.
Steve Clarke lost Queens Park Rangers striker Dykes to a knee injury in training last week, and Liverpool winger Ben Doak also withdrew from the squad on Tuesday, having not featured for his club since sustaining a knee problem last December.
Bristol City s Tommy Conway was added to Scotland s party upon Doak s withdrawal, and he has now been joined by Morgan, who has spent the last two years with the Red Bulls.
Morgan has scored nine goals in 16 league appearances in 2024, with Sandro Schwarz s Red Bulls sitting fourth in the Eastern Conference, six points behind leaders Inter Miami. He has previously won tw…
Arne Slot insists his focus remains on Feyenoord but acknowledged his confidence that an expected move to Liverpool will come to fruition.
Jurgen Klopp will depart the Reds at the end of this season, with widespread reports in the Dutch media suggesting Liverpool have already agreed a compensation deal to bring Slot to Anfield.
As speculation swirls over the Dutchman s future, Slot was keen to reiterate his commitment to Feyenoord, who are second in the league and face Zwolle in Sunday s Eredivisie fixture.
For the 25th time, I really can t answer it, Slot said as questions continue to flow over the Liverpool links.
There is nothing official yet and I am sitting here with a Feyenoord emblem on my chest, so the intention is for this press conference to b…
Manchester City made it two wins from two in the Women s Champions League, after coming from behind to beat St. Polten 3-2.
The Women s Super League leaders at least temporarily leapfrogged Hammarby to the Group D summit after Mary Fowler s late header sealed the points at the Generali Arena.
City made a positive start and broke the deadlock after just six minutes thanks to a superb 25-yard strike from Alanna Kennedy.
St. Polten goalkeeper Carina Schluter made a superb double-save to thwart Laura Blindkilde-Brown and Aoba Fujino, while Fowler hit the crossbar before the hosts levelled in the 41st minute through Melanie Brunnthaler.
They completed the turnaround eight minutes after the restart when Sarah Mattner-Trembleau found Kamila Dubcova, who swivelle…
Scott McTominay scored twice to fire Scotland to a memorable 2-0 victory over Spain at a jubilant Hampden Park, maintaining the hosts perfect start to Euro 2024 qualifying.
The Manchester United midfielder – who also grabbed a brace in Saturday s 3-0 win over Cyprus – got Scotland off to a flying start as his early strike deflected in off visiting defender Inigo Martinez.
While Spain enjoyed plenty of possession, Luis de la Fuente s visitors were unable to respond after McTominay doubled Scotland s lead, lashing home following excellent work from Kieran Tierney.
The result moves Scotland three points clear of Spain at the top of Group A, while De la Fuente has plenty of work to do following his first defeat since replacing Luis Enrique after the World Cup.
Pep Guardiola admits he would have had a “big, big problem” if Kyle Walker had left Manchester City in the summer.
The England right-back came close to leaving the treble winners for Bayern Munich but ultimately opted to stay and this week extended his contract at the Etihad Stadium until 2026.
The 33-year-old had a spell out of favour last season but has started the new campaign strongly and Guardiola is pleased to have retained his services after losing experienced pair Ilkay Gundogan and Riyad Mahrez.
The City manager said: “After Gundo and Riyad, losing Bernardo (Silva) and Kyle would have have been a big, big problem.
“It’s not about the quality – the skills you can find quite similar, or different players can help you – but there are s…
According to a recent report from AS, Spanish giants Barcelona have laid out a plan that will see them attempt to sign Neymar in 2020, either in the January transfer window or next summer’s transfer window. They were unable to get a deal over the finish line before the deadline which is on the verge of passing, meaning that the Brazilian forward will be staying with Paris Saint-Germain for the time being.
All parties involved know that it’s just a matter of in and not when he will end up returning to the Nou Camp, or, alternatively, he could wind up jumping ship to Real Madrid.
Either way it’s interesting to hear that Barca are already thinking about the future, as opposed to dwelling on the past.
Neymar is an incredibly capable striker, but the big questi…
Atletico Madrid were far from their best but progressed to the Copa del Rey quarter-finals after Marcos Llorente scored one and assisted another in a 2-0 victory at Levante.
Diego Simeone s side have won just one of their last six LaLiga games and their recent struggles were evident despite victory over second-tier Levante on Wednesday.
Atletico s first shot on target in the 54th minute through Morata opened the scoring after Llorente s cross before the midfielder sealed progression with a calm stoppage-time finish.
The LaLiga side await the identity of their next opponents in Friday s last-eight draw as they aim for a first Copa del Rey crown since 2013.
Onto the next round

Looking to extend on their 100% start this weekend, Manchester City will travel to the London Stadium on Saturday afternoon when they meet West Ham.
West Ham
Starting with the hosts, while West Ham might have made real history last season as they were crowned Europa Conference League champions, the Hammers certainly struggled with their domestic stability. Firmly at the heart of a shock relegation scrap and only just about limping their way over the finish line, it appeared that David Moyes had a huge amount of pressure on his shoulders. However, heading into September’s international break with a deserved 2-1 win away at top-flight returners Luton, the one-time Manchester United boss has seen his side come roaring back this time ar…
Wales have appointed former England and Team GB assistant Rhian Wilkinson as the new head coach of their women’s team.
The 41-year-old won 183 caps for Canada between 2003 and 2017 and coached most recently at American club Portland Thorns in the National Women’s Soccer League.
She has joined Wales on a contract until 2027 and succeeds Gemma Grainger, who ended her three-year reign last month to take charge of Norway.
