It’s been an unfortunate start to the season for Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard, who’s been sidelined multiple times through injury already and is now racing to recover from an MCL problem.

The North London derby on November 23rd takes on added significance for Arsenal as they await Odegaard’s potential return from a frustrating spell on the sidelines.

The Norwegian playmaker has become synonymous with Arsenal’s attacking fluency, and his absence has been an unwanted headache for Mikel Arteta.

Amid their pursuit of a first Premier League title in 22 years, the Gunners have done very well to cope through a torrid period of injuries to key attacking players at the Emirates. Odegaard’s latest setback came during their 2-0 win over West Ham in early October, when a collision with winger Crysencio Summerville resulted in a medial collateral ligament injury to his left knee.

The incident forced him off after just 30 minutes and made unwanted history. Odegaard actually became the first player in Premier League history to be substituted before half-time in three consecutive starts, and what makes this injury particularly cruel is the timing.

The 26-year-old had only just returned from a persistent shoulder problem that had already disrupted his campaign. That shoulder issue saw him withdrawn after 38 minutes of Arsenal’s 5-0 win over Leeds United at the very start of 25/26, before an aggravation of the same injury forced him off after just 18 minutes against Nottingham Forest.

Odegaard has completed a full 90 minutes only twice this season, and Arsenal rehab specialists have resorted to pretty unique methods to speed up his recovery.

The former Real Madrid midfielder has been using anti-gravity treadmills at Arsenal’s London Colney training centre to accelerate his comeback, a technique that reduces gravitational load while restoring muscle strength and mobility.

His return would provide a massive boost heading into one of the season’s most important fixtures against Spurs right after the international break, but Arsenal have now been dealt a pretty concerning update.

Credible reports had claimed that Odegaard is battling to be in contention for Tottenham alongside Gabriel Martinelli, Kai Havertz, Noni Madueke and Viktor Gyokeres, with Gabriel Jesus the only forward definitively ruled out (Simon Collings).

However, Norway boss Stale Solbakken has now made a suggestion that even the derby may be too soon for him.

Arsenal star Martin Odegaard "some distance away" from injury return

Speaking in a press conference this week, Solbakken stated that Odegaard is actually “some distance away” from his injury return — which makes for a pretty concerning admission ahead of Tottenham’s visit to the Emirates in just 10 days time.

Despite still being sidelined, Odegaard has travelled with the Norway squad to be a presence for morale ahead of crucial World Cup qualifiers against Estonia and Italy.

Arteta will be keeping a very close eye on his players during this international break, which always poses the threat of unwanted injury problems, and defender Riccardo Calafiori gave Arsenal a scare earlier this week after it was revealed the left-back is training alone with a hip issue.

Luckily for the Azzurri and Arteta, Italian medical officials believe that Calafiori will be fit to face Norway on November 16, with the individual training programme most likely a precaution and nothing too serious.

Immediately after their clash against Tottenham, the north Londoners take on Bayern Munich in the Champions League and Chelsea just four days later, with Arteta hoping he has most of his attacking contingent back and ready to contribute in these vital face-offs.

“I think just holding on and staying calm is going to go a long way tomorrow,” the SA captain said

Wolvaardt: ‘Whoever stays calmest in final will come out on top’

South Africa captain Laura Wolvaardt has said the weight of expectation will rest firmly on India when the two sides meet in the ODI World Cup final on Sunday, in front of what is expected to be a packed home crowd in Navi Mumbai. The message she has for her own team-mates ahead of this “tough” game is simple: “slow down, take a deep breath, and stay calm”.”I think [with] the whole crowd behind India, probably a sold-out stadium, it’s going to be a very exciting opportunity,” Wolvaardt said at the pre-match press conference. “But at the same time, I think it puts a lot of pressure on them as well. They have the whole country behind them, and sort of expect them to win. I think it sort of plays in our favour, hopefully. They’re a very good side. We’re going to have to play some really good cricket to beat them.”Mandla [Mashimbyi, South Africa head coach] normally does the really inspirational stuff, the ‘you’re carrying your country’ type of thing. And then I think I’d just come with a little ‘stay calm, girls’ at the end. There’s going to be a lot of noise, a lot happening, a lot of maybe different routines than you’re used to in a normal game. But at the end of the day, we’re going to have to do the basics for longer throughout the game, and hold the nerve for longer. I think just holding on and staying calm is going to go a long way tomorrow.”Related

It's India's party, but the artistic hunters will come

Although they will be playing their first ever ODI World Cup final, South Africa have made it to the summit clash in each of the last two T20 World Cups. They haven’t been able to take home the silverware just yet but Wolvaardt said the team has learnt from those experiences.”I think for me, personally, I’m really trying not to think about the result,” she said. “I think in those finals – or the first time I was in the final – you automatically think about the trophy and think about winning, and sort of get excited. Now I’m just really trying to stay [in the] present. We still have a really big game ahead of us against a really quality side.1:36

WWC final – ‘The pressure is less on South Africa’

“I’m trying not to think too far ahead; just really sort of slow it down. I think the first time you’re in those finals, it feels like a really big, fast-paced event. We’re going to need to slow down and take a big breath, and hope we’re able to do that as a group.”South Africa’s path to the final has been far from smooth. After a 69 all out against England, they bounced back with five straight wins before another collapse of 97 all out against Australia. A superb comeback in the semi-final against England, where Wolvaardt scored 169 and Marizanne Kapp took a five-for, booked their spot in the final.”I think we don’t just lose our skill or gain our skill overnight. It’s definitely just a couple of games that we had to put behind us, and we were able to bounce back really well from those two games on both occasions,” Wolvaardt said. “I think if we focus too much on that, then it wouldn’t have been a good campaign for us. So I think we took the learnings, put it behind us, and just really focused on the next game that we needed to do well [in].”Wolvaardt believes a World Cup win would be a game-changer for women’s cricket in South Africa.”For us, I think it would just be really special for women’s cricket in the country. I can only imagine what something like a World Cup trophy would do back at home, and just the amount of girls that will be able to see it on TV, that’ll be able to hear that we’re a World Cup-winning nation,” she said. “It’s hopefully very inspirational.”I think we’ve already created quite a lot of noise back at home, and getting a lot of messages from different people who have sort of started watching women’s cricket because of this tournament. So that’s really cool.”

This has been the season of Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha, of Amad and Senne Lammens – but don’t forget about Manchester United’s ever-reliable skipper, Bruno Fernandes.

While no longer perhaps the star attraction, amid Mbeumo’s rich vein of goalscoring form, the Portuguese playmaker is still quietly pulling the strings from his deep-lying midfield berth, scoring twice and registering three assists from his 11 Premier League outings.

Two rare penalty misses have perhaps been the biggest story of the 31-year-old’s campaign thus far, although it would be foolish to suggest that he has been under-par, again leading the way in the division for chances created (29), as per FotMob.

As he admitted ahead of his 300th United appearance last month, the former Sporting CP star is almost relishing the prospect of someone else taking the limelight – alla Mbeumo and Cunha – having for so long shouldered the creative and goalscoring burden on his own at Old Trafford.

A recent hat-trick hero on the international front, the experienced genius is far from over the hill, albeit with Ruben Amorim already hinting at a potential role change later down the line, suggesting that his compatriot might need to adjust to “rotation” next season, should the Red Devils return to European competition.

Whether Fernandes himself decides to stick around following the World Cup also remains to be seen, with a long-term replacement needed regardless.

Latest on Man Utd's midfield search

Speaking in that refreshingly honest interview to mark his milestone match, Fernandes did confirm that he had been close to joining Saudi side Al Hilal over the summer, before ultimately opting to stay put despite receiving a significant salary offer from the Pro League outfit.

Also the subject of interest from Paris Saint-Germain the year prior, the £300k-per-week talent will certainly have options once again should he choose to depart in 2026, albeit having suggested that he won’t even contemplate an exit until after next summer’s tournament in North America.

With a deal that expires in 2027, however, and lingering concerns over his suitability to Amorim’s 3-4-2-1 set-up, Fernandes’ long-term fit in this side is up for debate, regardless of whether he decides to stay or leave, with a young understudy perhaps required.

With that in mind, reports in Spain have suggested that United and INEOS have an offer in the works to sign AZ Alkmaar starlet, Kees Smit, with the 19-year-old said to have ‘caught the eye’ of those in Manchester.

Said to be valued at around €25m (£22m), the report claims that the Old Trafford side are willing to lodge a bid above the Eredivisie side’s valuation, perhaps hinting at their desire to win the race for his signature, amid notable competition.

Compared to Pedri by Netherlands boss Ronald Koeman, the teenager – who has also been linked with Newcastle United – could certainly be a worthwhile punt as far as the INEOS regime are concerned.

Why Man Utd could be targeting the new Bruno Fernandes

Since the arrival of the likes of Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Jason Wilcox, there has undoubtedly been a clear focus on recruiting stars of the future, be it Patrick Dorgu and Ayden Heaven, or Leny Yoro and Diego Leon.

Adding Smit into the fold could well help to continue that trend, with the promising Dutchman already earning rave reviews back in Holland, having been hailed as a “supertalent” in the past by talent scout Jacek Kulig.

Set to turn 20 in January, the AZ academy graduate has already made 50 senior appearances for his current side, chalking up ten goals and assists in that time, as per Transfermarkt, with 2025/26 proving particularly fruitful thus far.

Largely operating in a central midfield role – but also comfortable in a deeper or more advanced berth, like Fernandes – the £22m gem has scored twice and registered four assists in 19 games in all competitions, four of which have come in just 11 league games.

A player with “superstar potential” – in the view of analyst Ben Mattinson – Smit is particularly adept at striking from range, a trait again similar to Fernandes, with both he and Cunha tied last term for most goals scored outside the box by Premier League players.

Also hailed for his “striker-like finishing” inside the box by Mattinson, Smit does appear to be the complete attacking package, a fact heightened by his likeness to Fernandes in last season’s Europa League.

Indeed, as per FBref, the pair were noted as statistically and stylistically similar players among midfielders turning out in the competition, with the pair both ranking highly for progressive passes and passes in particular.

Smit’s creative streak has also been evident so far this term, with three big chances created and two key passes averaged per game in the Eredivisie, as per Sofascore. Back in England, for comparison, Fernandes has also created three big chances, while averaging slightly more key passes at 2.6 per game.

Both a goalscorer and provider then, like the Portugal man, Smit would surely be a worthy choice to be a potential deputy to Fernandes in the short-term, before seeking to succeed him in that midfield role later down the line.

Looking very much like a young Fernandes on current evidence, it’s easy to see why the teenager is courting quite so much interest.

علق آرني سلوت، المدير الفني لنادي ليفربول، على بقاء محمد صلاح كبديل، وذلك قبل لحظات من مباراة الريدز أمام ليدز يونايتد بالدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز.

ليفربول يحل ضيفًا بعد قليل على ليدز يونايتد في ملعب إيلانج رود وذلك لحساب منافسات الجولة الرابعة عشر من بطولة الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز في لقاء صعب على رجال سلوت.

وشهد تشكيل ليفربول استمرار تواجد محمد صلاح على مقاعد البدلاء للمباراة الثالثة على التوالي، حيث تواجد الدولي المصري كبديل ضد سندرلاند وضد وست هام يوناتيد كذلك.

واعترف سلوت في تصريحات نقلتها شبكة ”Anfield sector”، أن بقاء محمد صلاح كبديل لم يكن سهلًا بالنسبة له، لكنه اتخذ القرار الأصح لفريقه.

وقال سلوت عن بقاء محمد صلاح كبديل: “لم يكن قرارًا سهلًا أبدًا فنحن جميعًا نعرف كم هو لاعب رائع، لكن اختيار التشكيلة التي أعتقد أننا بحاجة إليها اليوم يعود لي أيضًا، لهذا السبب اتخذت هذا القرار”.

وعن الدفع بدومينيك سوبوسلاي في مركز الجناح الأيمن، وما إذا كان الدولي المجري يقدم إضافة أكبر في هذا المركز، أضاف المدرب الهولندي: “الأمر لا يتعلق بنا فقط، بل يتعلق أيضًا بالفريق الذي نواجهه، في آخر مبارياتهم التي شاهدتها صعب ليدز الأمور على مانشستر سيتي في الشوط الثاني ورأيت الأمر نفسه ضد تشيلسي، نحاول التأقلم قدر الإمكان مع قوتهم ونأمل أن نتمكن من إلحاق الهزيمة بهم”.

Equilíbrio financeiro, investimentos e resultados

Questionado sobre investimentos e resultados, Pedro Daniel foi direto, e disse que é preciso equilibrar a saúde financeira do clube sem faltar com os resultados.

“Vamos buscar esse equilíbrio em termos financeiros, ser sustentável, sem perder performance. Afinal de contas, aqui é um clube de futebol, a gente vive de resultado. Estamos fazendo diversas reuniões para para entender como é que a gente consegue ser o mais eficiente possível.

E os aportes? O novo CEO do Atlético também falou sobre os novos investimentos, no entanto apontou que as dívidas e as taxas de juros impactam diretamente nos aportes, deixando em aberto as definições sobre o tema.

“Em termos de estrutura de capital, quando você fala de aporte, a gente está discutindo todas as alternativas possíveis, sabendo que a gente mora num país que a taxa de juros é de 15%. Então a dívida, ela pega muito forte quando a gente pensa em despesa financeira e ela tira o dinheiro do futebol, a gente acaba pagando juros e perde competitividade, perde performance. “

“Então nós estamos trabalhando muito forte para nesse primeiro semestre conseguir ajustar pelo menos essa parte, e para que o futebol seja o menos afetado possível.”
