Bruno Fernandes has a question mark over his fitness, Erik ten Hag said ahead of Manchester United s Premier League clash with Tottenham.

The midfielder was forced off during United s FA Cup semi-final win over Brighton and Hove Albion on Sunday with an ankle injury and was later pictured in a protective boot.

With Lisandro Martinez and Raphael Varane already sidelined in a blow to United s defence, the loss of Fernandes would hurt Ten Hag s side going forward.

But on the eve of the trip to Spurs, the manager could not confirm whether Fernandes would be available.

But the Dutchman is not ready to reveal whether the midfielder will sit out their crucial encounter with Spurs or if he could yet be available to feature.

There are some unavailable, he…

Napoli s Serie A clash with Salernitana this weekend has been rescheduled by one day due to public security concerns, it has been confirmed.

The Partenopei had been set to play on Saturday, but will now take to the pitch at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona on Sunday instead.

The move comes with Luciano Spalletti s side poised to win the Scudetto if Lazio fail to beat Inter at San Siro during an earlier kick-off the same day.

Serie A s decision to postpone the fixture, however, has forced a further reshuffle for Napoli s fixture list, with their game against Udinese affected.

Originally due to take place on Tuesday, the game will now be played two days later on Thursday, in what could be their first game as champions.

It also means Udinese have suffer…

French midfielder Yann M Vila is expected to join Russian giants Dynamo Moscow in the coming days, .

The 24-year-old has had his loan stint with Inter Milan terminated after he failed to play himself into the first team plans of coach Roberto Mancini.

And rather than returning to Rubin Kazan, M Vila is set to join Dynamo Moscow on loan until the end of the season.

The Russian giants currently sit two points behind Champions League positions, but with a game in hand, and they could also join the title chase.

Their star-studded squad includes players like Mathieu Valbuena, Kevin Kuranyi, Igor Denisov and Balazs Dzsudzsak, with Yann M Vila also expected to join their ranks.

The highly rated footballer featured in 24 league matches for Rubin Kazan be…

FIFA has fined the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) 220,000 Swiss francs (€203,000) for allowing Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid to breach rules relating to the registration of international players under the age of 18.

The Madrid clubs will serve player registration bans during both 2017 transfer windows after appeals against sanctions imposed for multiple rule breaches by FIFA s Disciplinary Committee were rejected last month.

Madrid and Atleti are taking their cases to the Court of Arbitration for Sport but FIFA has now seen fit to punish their national governing body for its part in the violations, with the RFEF also given a six-month deadline to bring its regulatory framework in line with present global norms.

A statement from FIFA read: The RFEF…

Valencia want to return to Champions League football next season too, despite their thrashing at San Siro (4-1) at the hands of Atalanta in round of 16 first leg. But that will not be an easy achievement, as Getafe and Atletico Madrid are in front of them and Sevilla are also trying to get into one of those places. But if they do manage it, then their next transfer target will be more eager to join them.

According to Calciomercato, Valencia are interested in signing Marseille winger Florian Thauvin! The 27-year-old s current contract at Stade Velodrome is due to expire after the 2020-21 season. That means he will have only 12 months left on his contract once this season ends, meaning he could be available for a cut-price fee.

However, a risky part of the deal is that T…

With all eyes from across Europe falling on the Spanish capital on Sunday night, Real Madrid picked up local bragging rights as they landed a 2-1 victory at the Metropolitano Stadium.

Looking to lay down a real marker against their bitter rivals here, the defending Spanish champions also piled more pressure onto an Atletico Madrid side who have endured a nightmare week.

While Mario Hermoso might have pulled back a late consolation strike for Sunday s hosts, a first-half double from Rodrygo and Federico Valverde helped Los Blancos extend on their remarkable start to the 2022/23 campaign.

Once again leapfrogging Barcelona and entering September s international break at the top of the table, we have taken a look at the main talking points following a heavyweight sh…

Lazio have finally completed a protracted deal to bring Santos playmaker Felipe Anderson to the Stadio Olimpico.

The 20-year-old has penned a five-year deal with the Rome club, with a fee of €8 million thought to have been agreed between the sides last month.

Anderson was half-owned by a third party, who are reportedly entitled to half of the transfer fee.

However, Lazio director of football Igli Tare launched a furious tirade at the company involved, accusing them of moving the goalposts on more than one occasion during the process.

He told Il Messaggero: It will remain in history as the most paradoxical and shocking negotiations I have ever been a part of.

These third-party owners changed their minds continually.

When we had everything decided, th…

Feyenoord technical director Martin van Geel says the club are open to a permanent transfer for Manchester City s John Guidetti.

The Swede joined City in 2010 but has failed to establish himself among the first time, and enjoyed a fruitful loan spell at the Eredivisie side during the 2011-12 season, in which he scored 20 goals in 23 outings.

With Sergio Aguero and Edin Dzeko the leading strikers, and new manager Manuel Pellegrini keen on new forward additions, Guidetti s future at the Etihad Stadium is unclear.

And Van Geel says Feyenoord would be keen to take the 21-year-old back to the Netherlands, but stressed no deal has been submitted.

Guidetti is in our hearts and the door is always open for him, he told AD.

If a godsend occurs, we would naturally in…

An Eden Hazard-inspired Chelsea extended their lead at the Premier League summit with a dominant 3-1 win over title rivals Arsenal.

Marcos Alonso gave Chelsea a 13th-minute lead, heading home the rebound when Diego Costa s header looped up off the crossbar.

The wing-back s robust challenge on Hector Bellerin that allowed him to score is likely to draw post-match rancour from Arsene Wenger, but the suspended Gunners manager could have no complaints when those alongside him in the stand were brought to their feet in the 53rd minute.

Hazard made his mazy way from his own half to the edge of the Arsenal six-yard box to score the kind of goal that can come to define title triumphs.

Arsenal could muster little in the way of a response as they limply succumbe…

Chelsea have paid a reported world-record £71.6million to sign Kepa Arrizabalaga from Athletic Bilbao as a successor to Real Madrid-bound Thibaut Courtois.

The highly rated Spain international was announced as signing a seven-year deal at Stamford Bridge just hours after the club confirmed the sale of Thibaut Courtois to Real Madrid pending the completion of a medical.

Kepa, 23, came close to joining Madrid in January before a late change of heart led him to see out the campaign with Bilbao.

He now heads to the Premier League as the most expensive goalkeeper in history, eclipsing the £65million fee Liverpool paid to take Alisson from Roma in July.

Chelsea were compelled to activate Kepa s eye-watering release clause as they scrambled to find a replace…
