A key update has emerged on Rangers striker Kemar Roofe and his availability for Gio van Bronckhorst at the Ibrox giants in the coming weeks…

What’s the latest?

Jamaica boss Paul Hall has revealed that the player told him that he did not want to be selected to represent his country next month.

He told the Daily Record: “Kemar would have been one of the first names on my list. However, Kemar had indicated that he needs to fully recover from his last injury. Hence his absence from the squad.”

Buzzing

Rangers fans will surely be buzzing by this news as it comes as a major boost for van Bronckhorst ahead of games against Livingston, Ross County and Celtic.

He would have missed key games for the club if he had been called up by his country, which is why supporters will be delighted with his decision to remain in Glasgow instead of heading out on international duty.

Roofe made a comeback from injury against Stirling Albion on Friday and could be closing in on a return to full fitness as Rangers prepare to clash with Celtic next month. This shows that he has not rejected Jamaica because he is not able to play at all and has, instead, turned them down to continue playing for Rangers whilst also managing his knock at the same time.

Supporters will be delighted with this as it shows a determination from the player to do his best for the Gers, as he has put his club above his country in this instance. They will be particularly pleased with his decision as he is a proven Premiership performer who has been superb since arriving in Glasgow.

So far this season, Roofe has scored six goals in six starts for the club in the league. Last term, he managed 14 goals and three assists in 18 Premiership starts, which means that he has directly contributed to 23 goals in just 24 starts for Rangers domestically.

This highlights how big of a player he can be for van Bronckhorst and why having him available for crucial matches next month is a major boost for the Dutch head coach. Fans will want to see him in the squad, whether that is from the start or off the bench, as he has the potential to make an impact on the pitch and win games for the Scottish giants.

With 14 points on the board, Mumbai Indians need just one more win from their five remaining matches to progress to the semi-finals

Big pictureThe fortunes of these two teams could not be any different. With 14 points on the board, Mumbai Indians need just one more win from their five remaining matches to progress to the semi-finals. Kings XI Punjab, at the bottom of the points table, are all but out of contention for a final-four spot.With all their departments firing – that collapse against Chennai was an aberration – and comfortably perched at the top of the table, Mumbai have no real concerns. A win against Punjab will guarantee a spot in the final four and with it an opportunity to give some of their players a rest from the remaining league games. Three of those are against teams in the top four, as well as a resurgent Kolkata Knight Riders, so sealing vital points against Punjab is imperative.For a team that is yet to prove it can compete against the top sides, three of Punjab’s remaining games are against the most formidable outfits of the tournament – Mumbai, Delhi Daredevils and Chennai Super Kings. Punjab have been the worst fielding side, the batting has been inconsistent, and their problems have been exacerbated by the failure of their bowlers, who have taken just four wickets in the last two matches. Despite trying several combinations, Punjab’s woes have continued and their only incentive to win is to boost their chances of avoiding the wooden spoon.Form guide (most recent first)Kings XI Punjab LWLLL
Mumbai Indians LWWWWTeam talkWith R Sathish having little impact, his omission could be one of the changes in Mumbai’s XI. The man to step in could be Abhishek Nayar or Aditya Tare, the team’s primary wicketkeeper. Ambati Rayudu, in that role, has had trouble keeping to genuine fast bowlers. Zaheer Khan, who was rested against Chennai as a precautionary measure because of a swollen knee, is likely to return, as is Sachin Tendulkar, who suffered from dehydration in Chennai.Punjab have been chopping and changing their XI regularly but the results haven’t been significant. Juan Theron and Sreesanth were drafted back in for the last game but both bled runs, so Brett Lee could get another look-in despite his inability to manage a wicket in three games. Shaun Marsh is fit for selection and he could replace Ravi Bopara.Previously…Punjab 3 Mumbai 2
In 2008, Punjab won the first ever encounter between the two teams by 66 runs and then clinched a thriller in Mumbai by one run. In their first meeting last year , in Durban, Yusuf Abdulla helped Punjab win a last-over thriller. Mumbai then fought back with an easy eight-wicket win in Centurion. In 2010, Mumbai won a close match at home.In the spotlightSachin Tendulkar has spoilt the Mumbai crowd with his spectacular batting and the PCA Stadium will expect nothing else.Dwayne Bravo and Kieron Pollard: The West Indian stars were disasters with the bat during the loss against Chennai when a lot was expected of them. Bravo is a floater in the batting line-up but so far it seems he’s in the team primarily for his bowling. Pollard’s place in the line-up also hasn’t been settled but there’s a concern he’s being kept too low down. Against a side completely shorn of confidence, it may not be a bad idea to push this pair up and get their mojo going.Piyush Chawla: Just why he has been picked to go to the West Indies as part of India’s World Twenty20 squad is lost on many, because Chawla only has five wickets from ten games as compared to the 14 Delhi’s Amit Mishra has from as many outings at a far better economy and strike-rate. Chawla came in for heavy praise after the first IPL from Kumar Sangakkara but this season he’s not even been remotely dangerous.Prime Numbers The fact that Irfan Pathan (204) has outscored both Kumar Sangakkara (183) and Yuvraj Singh (198) this season highlights their lack of contributions to the team.Harbhajan Singh, Zaheer Khan and Lasith Malinga are all tied on 11 wickets – leaving them joint No. 4 on the list of highest wicket-takers.

Tomas Soucek and Kurt Zouma are both in contention for West Ham’s clash against Manchester United on Saturday, according to a report by football.london.

The Lowdown: Soucek and Zouma were big losses

Czech Republic captain Soucek was absent for the Hammers’ last two fixtures, in which they beat Norwich City 2-0 and lost 3-2 to Leeds United. The midfielder was unavailable after testing positive for Covid-19, which dealt David Moyes a huge blow.

So far this season, Soucek has ranked second out of the entire West Ham squad for numerous statistics occurring in the Premier League; these include tackles, interceptions, and even fouls – a debatably necessary trait for a defensive midfielder.

Zouma was another player who missed games out due to a positive test. Following his six-week absence after sustaining a hamstring injury, the Frenchman was only just back in training before that setback, rendering him unavailable for the Irons’ upcoming matches.

Before suffering his injury, Zouma was a crucial element of Moyes’ back-line, having led the team in clearances made per game, maintaining a level of stability for the East-London side.

The Latest: Soucek and Zouma in contention for Man United fixture

According to a report by football.london, Moyes has confirmed that Soucek’s isolation period is set to end this week and that he will return to training, ahead of the Irons’ clash against Manchester United. When questioned about Soucek, Moyes responded:

“He could be in contention but everybody coming back from Covid you are not sure of their ability, how they are feeling what their symptoms are. So those things make it very difficult to make a judgement.”

Furthermore, after an extra week of training following his positive test, Moyes confirmed that Zouma will be nearing a return.

The Verdict: Moyes relieved by their return

With Zouma once being labelled the ‘ultimate defender’, it is easy to see why Moyes will be relieved that the centre-back will soon be available for selection. The Hammers have suffered with a lack of depth this season, with Moyes keen on bringing in an extra centre-half in Angelo Ogbonna’s and Zouma’s absences.

Manuel Lanzini was tasked to stand-in for Soucek for the two games the Czech was unavailable: a tough task, given the praise hailing the midfielder as ‘incredible’ in his position.

The Argentine performed admirably in the Iron’s victory over Norwich but he struggled against Leeds, clearly suffocated by their ferocious press. As a result, fans will be glad to see Soucek’s return, as it will allow Lanzini to be utilised in his preferred position.

Three days after he expressed reservations about flying to India due to security concerns, the England batsman arrived in Chandigarh to link up with Kings XI Punjab

Cricinfo staff04-Mar-2010

Three days after he expressed reservations about flying to India due to security concerns, the England batsman Ravi Bopara arrived in Chandigarh to link up with Kings XI Punjab. Bopara had delayed his arrival in India over concerns about the contents of security advisor Reg Dickason’s report, which had named Al Qaeda group Brigade 313 as a possible threat to the IPL, but Lalit Modi, the league’s commissioner, had been quick to say Bopara would play.While both Bopara and the franchise were tight-lipped about the sudden turnaround in Bopara’s participation, the England batsman’s presence at a promotional event in Chandigharh, the team’s headquarters, was enough to satisfy Punjab. “His arrival means he is willing to play,” said Punjab CEO Anil Srivatsa when answering a question as to whether the franchise has sought a reason for Bopara’s earlier comments to the . “We have not asked him any explanation for his comments in England as there is now no need.”Bopara, who was bought for $450,000 at the 2009 auction, is one of eight England cricketers involved in IPL 2010.Brett Lee, who is recovering from an elbow surgery, also arrived in India and bowled a few overs in the nets. “Our physio Patrick Farhat has met him and he is still doing rehab,” explained Col. Arvinder Singh, Punjab’s vice-president. “We will wait for his fitness status till March 11 and then decide.”

Allione confirmou após o empate do Bahia com o São Paulo, no Morumbi, que retornará ao Palmeiras a pedido de Roger Machado em 2018. O argentino de 23 anos ainda tem contrato com o clube alviverde até o meio de 2019.

– Sim, eu volto. Em janeiro estamos lá para tentar ajudar o Palmeiras. Tomara que dessa vez minha passagem por lá seja melhor. O treinador do Palmeiras pediu que eu voltasse, então acho que evoluí. Tomara que dessa vez dê certo lá no Palmeiras e eu possa ajudar – disse o meia, ao LANCE!, ainda no Morumbi.

Allione fez 43 jogos pelo Bahia, com 13 assistências e três gols. Ele considera que amadureceu muito durante o período de empréstimo:

– Acho que sou um jogador mais maduro. Os erros que cometi lá no Palmeiras acho que não cometi aqui. Me sinto mais cômodo em campo, com confiança. Acho que posso ajudar o Palmeiras ano que vem e tomara que seja assim.

O meia chegou ao Palmeiras em 2014, a pedido de Ricardo Gareca, após se destacar no Vélez Sarsfield (ARG). Jogou 18 partidas naquele ano, que por pouco não terminou com o time rebaixado à Série B, mas deixou boa impressão.

Em 2015, precisou passar por uma delicada cirurgia no joelho direito e não conseguiu se firmar: foram 28 jogos e dois gols marcados. Em 2016, um novo problema no joelho atrapalhou, desta vez no esquerdo e mais leve. Foram 25 jogos e cinco gols ao longo da temporada.

تحدث حسام تقا لاعب فريق الاتحاد المنستيري التونسي، عن الخروج من دوري أبطال إفريقيا على يد الأهلي.

وكان فريق الاتحاد المنستيري قد ودع دوري الأبطال من دور الـ32 بخسارة أمام الأهلي برباعية دون رد في مجموع المباراتين، لينتقل لبطولة الكونفدرالية.

وقال تقا في تصريحات تلفزيونية لفضائية “أون تايم سبورتس”: “لسوء الحظ خرجنا، لعبنا أمام فريق كبير جدًا نعرفه جيدًا”.

وأضاف: “أتينا هنا وكنا نريد أن نفوز، لكن الشيء الجيد أننا بذلنا كل مجهودنا واستفدنا خبرات”.

وتابع: “حصلنا على خبرات من خلال المباراتين مع الأهلي، غابت عنا اليوم اللمسة الأخيرة وإن شاء الله نصلح الأمور والقادم أفضل”.

وأردف: “لا يوجد وقت، علينا أن نصحح أخطائنا قبل المشاركة في الكونفدرالية، وطموحنا كبير وسنبذل أقصى جهدنا”.

واختتم: “نطلب من جمهور المنستير السماح ونعدهم أن نصل بعيدًا في الكونفدرالية”.

O Botafogo, que não tem nenhum jogador suspenso para o jogo da quinta-feira, pode não contar com o lateral-esquerdo Victor Luis. Após uma dividida com Jonathan, ele deixou a partida contra o Atlético-PR, ainda no primeiro tempo, no último sábado, com dores no tornozelo esquerdo e saiu do Nilton Santos mancando muito.

Na reapresentação do Glorioso, na tarde desta segunda-feira, a confirmação: ele tem um entorse leve na região, manca um pouco menos e é dúvida. Se ele não jogar, assim como aconteceu no fim de semana, Gilson, o seu reserva natural, deve substituí-lo.

O ala não subiu para o aquecimento e ficou em tratamento para as dores no local. Os volantes Bruno Silva e Dudu Cearense, que não preocupam, também não treinaram, poupados. O técnico Jair Ventura promoveu um treino técnico e tático para quem entrou ao longo do jogo ou não atuou contra o Rubro-Negro. Os titulares fizeram um rápido aquecimento sem bola e foram dispensados.

Roger
O atacante do Botafogo deu um novo passo rumo ao retorno aos jogos. Ele participou do aquecimento com bola junto com os reservas, mas depois seguiu treinar em separado, assim como o lateral Marcinho e o volante Airton.

Com 51 pontos, o Glorioso é o sexto do Campeonato Brasileiro. Na quinta-feira, às 20h, no Nilton Santos, recebe o Atlético-GO, pela 35° rodada.

Alastair Cook believes England can draw on recent experiences to haul themselves to safety in the third Test at Newlands

Andrew McGlashan in Cape Town06-Jan-2010Alastair Cook believes England can draw on recent experiences to haul themselves to safety in the third Test at Newlands and retain their series lead. The tourists go into the final day on 132 for 3 after three late wickets undid the strong start laid down by Cook and Andrew Strauss who added 101 for the first wicket.On 55, Cook gave his wicket away to Friedel de Wet with a loose pull and Strauss was caught at short leg off Paul Harris three overs later. However, the real hammer blow to England’s hopes came when the out-of-form Kevin Pietersen was trapped lbw by Dale Steyn, having been earlier offered a reprieve via the review system after Daryl Harper missed a huge inside-edge.But already in this series England have battled to a draw after seeing out the final day at Centurion with nine wickets down, despite a late collapse against de Wet, while last year’s Ashes escape at Cardiff is still used as inspiration.”We’re going to have to be realistic about it and would settle for the draw,” Cook said. “We’ve got to take a lot of confidence from the situations we’ve been in – at Cardiff and the first Test here – where we’ve managed to scrape out a draw. We’ve got the fighters to do that, in the right positions – so we hope we can do it one more time.”The manner in which both England’s openers fell continued a pattern for the match where the top order have played a hand in their own demise. “It was pretty disappointing. We’re probably one wicket behind where we’d have liked to have been,” Cook said. “Obviously, you’d like to be nought down but realistically, we’ve just lost a couple more than we’d have liked.”In England’s favour, though, is the fact that the wicket has seemingly become easier to bat on as the match has developed. The new ball continues to be a threat, especially against Morne Morkel and Steyn, but England’s opening partnership showed that it was possible to prosper.”The wicket has held together quite well. The wickets so far have been lost in clumps, and we’ve got to try to avoid that tomorrow,” Cook said. “Yesterday and today have probably been the best two days to bat on it, and I don’t see a drastic change tomorrow.”There’s a little bit more rough for Harris to the left-handers. But apart from that, there’s just a little bit of variable bounce we hope we can get through and fight like we have done in previous times.”AB de Villiers said it had been a surprise the pitch hadn’t broken up more, particularly after the 40-degree heat of the third day, but remained confident there was enough on offer for the South Africa attack.”We all expected the cracks to open up a bit more, but there is still enough for the seamers to gain out of the wicket,” he said. “We are trying to get it to reverse – not by stepping on the ball, but by shining it – and we have Paul Harris looking good as well so hopefully we’ll hit those cracks that open up a bit.”
