Verratti Gets a Crucial Injury Update From PSG Manager Galtier (Yardbarker)

There is now a notable injury concern regarding Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Marco Verratti. The Italian midfielder was subbed off during the second half ...

In 2020, the clubs met in the AL Championship Series with the Rays capturing the pennant in a 4-2 win in Game 7. The right-hander is 0-1 with a 10.80 ERA in his lone start against the Rays, a 7-0 home loss last September in which he allowed homers to Brandon Lowe and Ji-Man Choi. Offensively, they do really special things with the bat, and they can do a lot of things from the mound. "Guti has become a very important player for the team, and we believe that he has a very bright future ahead as long as he continues to stay focused and work hard." In his last start Tuesday against the San Francisco Giants, Wright overcame a shaky beginning to pitch 5 1/3 innings and allow one run on three hits, three walks and four strikeouts. Players are becoming more and more empowered to weaponize the tools available to them in order to get the most lucrative contracts possible, and restricted free agency is one of the most powerful tools a player has available to him. In building that talented roster, the Rangers have locked away a significant percentage of their cap space for the next several seasons, and have left little room to add more long-term deals onto their books. Brown would have completed the parlay, but late in the fourth quarter, Brown was tackled at the half yard line after hauling in a 24-yard pass on fourth and four late in the fourth quarter. The Buffalo Sabres are in a similar boat, with a significant amount of cap space currently at their disposal and even more set to open next summer. The Easy Ones One of the major reasons the Stars have had difficulty signing Robertson to a long-term deal is that they already have significant contracts on their books for next season, and have precious little cap space to work with. AFC South struggles AFC South teams — Jacksonville, Indianapolis, Houston and Tennessee — failed to record a win in Week 1, and Week 2 didn't go all that much better for the division. "LIV Golf is coming to the Hill this week to meet with lawmakers from both parties," LIV Golf spokesman Jonathan Grella told ESPN in a statement on Monday.

Italy searching for goals in final Nations League matches (The Washington Post)

Italy is still in shock from failing to qualify for the World Cup again and has problems up front heading into its final two Nations League group matches.

“The results will be important, anything can still happen in the group,” Mancini said. Winning the Euros should have given us that, we need to start again from that, start again building a squad to have another extraordinary four years like that that we’ve just had.” We hope it’s not an irreversible one and that soon two or three forwards will emerge that can boost the national team.” The only one we’ve had there for a while is Immobile. Mancini has pinpointed the problem. Even before its stunning loss to North Macedonia in the playoffs.

Italy vs England: Azzurri Can Edge Battle to Avoid Drop (WSN)

Our in-depth preview of Italy vs England features all the best odds, our top tips and other must-know information.

A Crystal Palace fan, he is a long-time subscriber to the belief that it's the taking part that counts. He is the former editor of The Set Pieces, and has contributed to the Guardian, FourFourTwo, and ESPN. The former Middlesbrough boss led his country to the semi-finals of the World Cup for the first time in a generation in 2018. Two wins, conversely, would lift the mood and make it easier to attribute results in June to a minor blip. This could be another low-scoring encounter, but we fancy Italy to edge out England. Yet a return of two points from a possible 12 in the Nations League in June has seen the pressure build on Southgate, who faced particularly strong criticism after a stunning 4-0 home thrashing by Hungary. They still have a chance of qualifying for the Nations League Finals, scheduled to take place next June, but this competition does not yet have the prestige of the World Cup or the European Championship. He then took them to the brink of glory at Euro 2020, before which the Three Lions had never even reached the final of that competition. The Italian soccer federation has rightly retained faith in Mancini, who has already begun to look towards that tournament in two years’ time with a focus on youth and renewal. The Azzurri only have themselves to blame, even if some members of the squad hit out at UEFA’s qualification format in the aftermath of their elimination. But Gareth Southgate’s side failed to press home their advantage and allowed Italy back into the game. The most memorable meeting between these two teams in the last year or so was, of course, the final of Euro 2020 (held in 2021).

While domestic competitions bear the brunt of the upheaval to the calendar as they are forced to halt a week before the opening game in Qatar, that also means there will be next to no time for squads to work together before beginning their World Cup campaigns.
