Saliba Injury Detail Emerges Following Withdrawal From France Squad
The nature of William Saliba injury has reportedly emerged after he pulled out of the France squad for their upcoming World Cup 2026 qualifiers.

The 24-year-old was substituted out of Arsenal’s 1-0 loss to Liverpool on Sunday after only five minutes, which was the Gunners’ quickest Premier League substitution since November 2012.

Cristhian Mosquera, who kept up with Gabriel Magalhaes in the Arsenal defense, replaced Saliba when the former seemed to lose a duel with fellow countryman Hugo Ekitike.

However, Dominik Szoboszlai’s incredible game-winning free kick, which put Liverpool ahead of Arsenal which secured all three points, was beyond Mosquera, Gabriel, and David Raya’s control.

Saliba was seen on camera giving a journalist the thumbs up as he hobbled through the mixed zone following the game. However the injury has now added to the Gunners’ worries.

However, the center-back’s problem is so severe that he will be unable to join France for their forthcoming games against Iceland and Ukraine. Inter Milan defender, Benjamin Pavard has been called up to replace him.

The Severity Of Saliba’s Injury
According to Sports Mole, the French Football Federation confirmed the defensive switch on Monday and stated that the Arsenal player had an ankle sprain, however they did not specify how serious the injury was.

Ankle sprains are usually classified into three categories. A Grade 1 injury is the least serious (a moderate strain), while a Grade 3 injury is a total tear that may take months to heal.

Saliba will probably recover completely in one to two weeks assuming he only sustained a Grade 1 injury, as evidenced by the fact that he was able to leave the pitch on his own.

New twist emerges as ‘exceptional’ star now expected to remain at Man City, the player has ‘turned down’ several offers
A new twist has emerged at Manchester City on Deadline Day as a player Pep Guardiola once labelled “exceptional” is now expected to remain at the Etihad Stadium.

The main focus of the Premier League giants on the final day of the transfer window is to sort out the goalkeeper situation in Guardiola’s squad, while also trimming the numbers, something the Spaniard has been very clear about.

Tottenham have reignited their interest in Randal Kolo Muani on transfer deadline day, as the club have made an enquiry for the striker who turned them down only six months ago.

It is the British transfer deadline day and it is the point where teams across the league begin to wrap up their dealings, dotting the I’s and crossing the T’s with little time to spare.

For Tottenham Hotspur, however, it feels like more than just fine-tuning, as there is a glaring need for fresh reinforcements in key positions.

It has long been reported that Spurs are targeting at least one wide forward and a left-sided centre-back, and with only hours remaining, the final stretch of the window could prove to be a tense and intriguing watch.

Tottenham make enquiry for Randal Kolo Muani
Fabrizio Romano is now reporting on X that in a bid to strengthen their attack, Tottenham have turned their attention back to a player they chased during the winter transfer window.

According to the journalist, it is understood that within the last 24 hours, Spurs have made an enquiry for Randal Kolo Muani.

The Frenchman is currently in discussions with Juventus, although it is claimed that negotiations with the Italian club remain off at this point, and should that situation persist, Tottenham could look to move in for the striker.

Romano posted: “If talks with Juventus remain off as they are right now, Randal Kolo Muani can emerge as option for several top clubs on . Can exclusively reveal that Tottenham made an enquiry for Kolo in last 24h… could be one to watch ⚪️👀 .”

The links between Tottenham and Kolo Muani are not fresh, as the French forward was aggressively pursued by the club back in the January window.

At the time, he chose not to make the switch to N17, which forced Tottenham to turn their attention elsewhere, eventually securing the signing of Mathys Tel.

Following a solid spell at Juventus where he registered eight goals in 16 matches, Tottenham appear to be revisiting their interest, yet this potential pursuit may not sit well with some supporters who feel that if the player was unwilling to join six months ago, there is little reason why the club should still be chasing him now.

Manchester City midfielder Rodri has downplayed expectations that his return alone can transform the team’s fortunes, insisting he does not have the game-changing powers of Lionel Messi.

Rodri was back in Pep Guardiola’s starting lineup on Sunday as City suffered a 2-1 defeat to Brighton at the Amex Stadium. Despite his presence, the former champions failed to recover from an early setback, leaving them with just three points from their opening three fixtures.

Speaking after the game, the Spaniard admitted he cannot single-handedly carry City to victories, stressing that football remains a collective effort. He pointed to Messi’s unique talent as an example of an individual who could consistently turn matches on his own, but clarified he is not that type of player.

“I’m not Messi. I’m not going to come back and make the team win and win,” Rodri said. “When we won in the past, it was because I had all my teammates working together.”

Rodri, who has been a key figure in City’s midfield over the past seasons, acknowledged he still needs time to reach his best form after returning from the summer break. He said improvement must come from the entire squad rather than relying on one or two individuals.

“This is a collective sport,” he added. “For sure I have to recover and find my best level, but it’s not because I’m back that we’re suddenly going to win. We have to do it together.”

Man City Brighton ratings GFX
Erling Haaland had given the visitors the lead at the Amex Stadium, but they failed to make the dominance count before collapsing late on

Manchester City suffered their second-successive Premier League defeat as they slipped to a 2-1 defeat at Brighton on Sunday. Erling Haaland marked his 100th appearance in the English top-flight with a goal, but Pep Guardiola's side fell apart in the final quarter of the match on the south coast.

Haaland wasted a golden early opportunity when he was played through on goal by Omar Marmoush as he fired a weak effort straight at Bart Verbruggen, while at the other end James Trafford got down well to tip Kaoru Mitoma's low shot past the post. Haaland eventually broke the deadlock, however, when he bounced back from having a header saved by Verbruggen to latch onto Marmoush's poked pass and netted from close range.

City dominated proceedings until the midway point of the second half, only for a quadruple substitution from Fabian Hurzeler to bring the hosts to life. They almost-instantly won a penalty following those changes as Matheus Nunes was penalised for a handball inside the box, and James Milner sent Trafford the wrong way from the spot.

Brighton piled on the pressure in search of a winner, and Trafford was forced to perform heroics to claw away Jan Paul van Hecke's header. However, he could do nothing to deny Brajan Gruda from netting the winner in the 89th minute as he broke through after City's defence was torn apart.

GOAL rates City's players from the Amex Stadium...

Goalkeeper & Defence

Brighton & Hove Albion v Manchester City - Premier League
James Trafford (7/10):

Didn't look like his confidence had been hit by last week's error as he showed comfort with the ball at his feet. Got down well to deny Mitoma early on before standing tall to keep out Minteh on the hour mark and performed heroics to claw away Van Hecke's header. Had no chance with either goal.

Matheus Nunes (6/10):

Continues to improve as a right-back as he kept Mitoma relatively quiet while using the ball well in possession. Slightly unfortunate to concede the penalty.

John Stones (5/10)
Played Mitoma onside for his early chance and looked a little slow at times. Not as effective in possession compared to a few years ago, and his failure to cut out a forward pass led to Brighton's winner.

Abdukodir Khusanov (6/10):

Perhaps his best performance in a City to shirt for the first 65 minutes as he carried the ball into midfield well and was aggressive when called on defensively. Booked shortly before the equaliser, and was targeted thereafter.

Rayan Ait-Nouri (4/10):

Gave the ball away in poor areas on a couple of occasions as he came out second-best on occasion up against Minteh. Booked in the second half.

Midfield

Brighton & Hove Albion v Manchester City - Premier League
Rodri (8/10):

Oozed class in everything he did at the heart of the City midfield. Still getting up to full fitness, but showed exactly what the team have been missing due to his injury absence.

Bernardo Silva (6/10):

Didn't offer much of note in possession, but showed good energy in midfield to win the ball back and pressure the opposition.

Tijjani Reijnders (6/10):

Struggled early on with the ferocity of Brighton's press but grew into the game as it wore on.

Attack

Brighton & Hove Albion v Manchester City - Premier League
Oscar Bobb (7/10):

Caused panic whenever he got onto the ball and drove towards the Brighton penalty area. Played his part in the opening goal.

Erling Haaland (6/10):

Wasted two early openings before being denied by Verbruggen. Eventually got his goal with an expert close-range finish, but faded out of the game in the second half.

Omar Marmoush (7/10):

Showed excellent, quick feet inside the penalty area to lay on Haaland's opener, and looked dangerous when picking up the ball in the half-spaces. Replaced for the final 20 minutes.

Subs & Manager

Brighton & Hove Albion v Manchester City - Premier League
Nico O'Reilly (5/10):

On in midfield for the final 20 minutes but couldn't stop the waves of Brighton pressure.

Jeremy Doku (5/10):

Struggled to pose much of a threat after replacing Marmoush.

Rico Lewis (N/A):

On for Nunes in the final 10 minutes.

Ruben Dias (N/A):

Couldn't get across quickly enough to keep Brighton from sweeping through on their way to Gruda's winner.

Pep Guardiola (5/10):

His team looked like they were getting back to their best for an hour, but they struggled to create clear-cut chances and were made to pay. His failure to adapt after Hurzeler's inspired substitutions was concerning.

Sevilla have already brought in significant funds from selling the likes of Loic Bade and Stanis Idumbo Muzambo, but more could be raised before the transfer window closes on Monday. That’s because Dodi Lukebakio remains one of the most talked-about names, with his future hanging in the balance as multiple clubs circle.

The Belgian winger has drawn widespread interest thanks to his attacking versatility and Sevilla’s pressing financial situation. Despite being tied to the Andalusian club until 2028, they need to continue offloading players in order to register new signings. And Lukebakio could be the next high-profile departure in their restructuring strategy.

Sources have exclusively revealed to Football España that both Benfica and Nottingham Forest appear ready to meet Sevilla’s €30m asking price. The Portuguese giants are leveraging their Champions League status to lure the player, and reports suggest Lukebakio is receptive to the move, which would represent good profit for Los Nervionenses after they paid €10m to sign him two years ago.

Meanwhile, Nottingham Forest are financially equipped to match Sevilla’s demands and sees Lukebakio as a key reinforcement to boost their attacking options. Furthermore, clubs like Stuttgart and Atlético Madrid have also expressed interest, although Benfica are said to be favourites at this stage.

Sevilla are prepared to let Lukebakio leave
In recent days, Sevilla have dropped their asking price for Lukebakio, who has been one of their standout performers over the last 12 months. His exit would allow the club to solve their registration woes, while also creating an opportunity to strengthen Matias Almeyda’s squad before the transfer window closes.

Sevilla have been here before with Lukebakio, so there is no guarantee that he departs the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan in the next 36 hours. However, it does appear that an exit is edging ever closer for the Belgium international winger.

Mark Goldbridge attacks pundit in grammatically shambolic social media post
Sky pundit faces backlash for 'embarrassing' comment about Man Utd on live TV
Sky Sports pundit Jay Bothroyd attracted criticism on Saturday after slamming the performance of Manchester United in their Premier League win against Burnley.

Man Utd needed a Bruno Fernandes penalty deep into stoppage time to beat the Clarets 3-2 after the visitors had twice equalised in a topsy-turvy Premier League encounter at Old Trafford.

The nature of the goals conceded by the Red Devils in their first win of the season left them looking for answers in the last couple of days of the transfer window but Burnley, by manager Scott Parker's own admission, started slowly and could have been buried by the time Lyle Foster prodded in their first equaliser.

Bothroyd's condemnation of United's celebration on Sky Sports' Soccer Saturday Fan Zone was quickly picked up on by fans, who suggested the one-cap England international might not have been watching as closely as they were.

"To be honest, that was a great performance from Burnley" said Bothroyd. "[United] still got the win, which is important."

Asked about the players' celebration after Fernandes' stoppage-time spot kick, Bothroyd's hitherto rambling vacuum of insight took a predictable turn.

"That was embarrassing, for me," he yelped. "I have to be honest, that was embarrassing. Like, why are you celebrating after a 3-2 win against Burnley?"

It was a risible piece of punditry from the former Hokkaido Consadole Sapporo and Muangthong United striker, which presumably sent up some sort of bat signal to Mark Goldbridge, real name Brent Di Cesare.

The self-styled Man Utd fan and YouTube take merchant railed against Bothroyd's criticism, leaping to the defence of the Red Devils.

Goldbridge posted on X, formerly Twitter: "The only thing Embarrassing is him sat their on Sky clearly talking about a game he didn't watch lol! Burnley played well? They should have been 3 down at half time. Scary thing is agenda's grow from propaganda like this."

"It is a bit embarrassing; it is only Burnley. You haven't just avoided relegation on the last day, but it was a six-pointer in the relegation battle," replied one fan after deciphering the tweet, but the reaction wasn't always barbed in Goldbridge's direction.

"The agenda on United is incredible," posted another with a limited understanding of at least three of those six words. "With better finishing, Burnley would have been crushed in the first half."

Said another, who might take football too seriously: "These people hate Man Utd with passion. They glow when we lose and become bitter when we are happy at the slightest. This is why we need to protect ourselves from them."

Chelsea’s transfer window drama shows no signs of slowing, as Barcelona have set a staggering £78 million asking price for Spanish midfielder Fermin Lopez, according to The Guardian. The Blues, who have already unveiled Alejandro Garnacho and are closing in on a deal for Brighton’s Facundo Buonanotte, now face their biggest test yet if they are to prise Lopez away from the Camp Nou.

Chelsea had already submitted a bid believed to be in the region of €40 million, but Barcelona swiftly rejected the offer, insisting they value Lopez far higher. Reports suggest the La Liga giants will not entertain negotiations unless Chelsea come much closer to their £78 million demand, with insiders hinting it will still take more than £52 million to tempt them into a sale.

At just 22 years old, Lopez has quickly established himself as one of Spain’s brightest talents. Last season, he scored eight goals and registered ten assists in 48 appearances, showcasing his versatility as an attacking midfielder capable of playing across the front line. Sources claim Enzo Maresca has personally spoken to the player in a bid to convince him of the project at Stamford Bridge.

Meanwhile, Chelsea’s attacking situation has taken another twist. Nicolas Jackson, who was close to sealing a loan move to Bayern Munich, has been ordered back to London after Liam Delap picked up a hamstring injury. Unless Bayern agree to a permanent deal, Jackson will be forced to remain in West London, despite his frustrations.

With the transfer window closing on Monday evening, Chelsea now find themselves juggling multiple high-stakes negotiations. Whether Todd Boehly’s regime decides to push closer to Barcelona’s demands for Lopez could define the club’s final moves of the summer.

A shocking update has emerged regarding the goalkeeper situation at Manchester City, which could have significant ramifications for the future of Ederson.

The future of the Brazilian goalkeeper has been up in the air all summer as Galatasaray continue to push for Ederson, but the Turkish giants have yet to agree a fee with City, with only a few days left in the transfer market.

James Trafford has started in goal for Man City’s first two games of the Premier League season, despite Pep Guardiola making it clear that the 32-year-old was his number one for the season.

A shocking update has now emerged in the transfer market, and it may not be good news for Ederson if he hopes to complete a move to Galatasaray over the coming days.

Galatasaray are working on an unusual Gianluigi Donnarumma deal
If Ederson is sold to Galatasaray before the summer transfer window shuts, Man City will move for Gianluigi Donnarumma to replace the Brazilian at the Etihad Stadium, with personal terms not expected to be an issue.

The Manchester club are currently working on the transfer of the PSG star, but a new twist has emerged as Galatasaray have entered the race, reports Rudy Galetti.

The journalist states that Galatasaray are working behind the scenes with PSG to sign Donnarumma; however, a “shocking formula” is being used as there will be no transfer fee, just a sell-on clause for a future sale.

This scenario makes very little sense, and it might be the approach the two clubs are taking to put pressure on Man City to sell Ederson, which will lead to the Manchester club signing Donnarumma.

Al-Nassr have also been interested in Ederson, but Fabrizio Romano says that it is a deal that will not happen, which only leaves Turkey as an option for the Brazilian star.

Man City’s goalkeeper situation will become clearer on Sunday
Amid all the talk around his goalkeepers over the last week, Guardiola told the press on Friday that he will decide on who starts against Brighton sometime on Saturday.

Therefore, when the teams are announced on Sunday afternoon, an hour and 15 minutes before Man City take on the Seagulls at the Amex, the goalkeeper situation in Manchester will become clearer. If Ederson is on the bench, there is a strong chance he will leave before Monday’s deadline.

This is a situation City should have sorted out a long time ago, as it is doing nobody any favours to have uncertainty surrounding the goalkeeper position with three games into the Premier League season.
