Arsenal could make a serious approach for Roma defender Wesley Franca next year.
Chelsea have reportedly revived their interest in signing Barcelona defender Jules Kounde ahead of the January transfer window.
Napoli have confirmed Scott McTominay is back in team training and available for selection after undergoing a minor heart procedure.
At the end of August, the Partenopei announced McTominay had been diagnosed with a "mild benign arrhythmia" that would require surgery and sideline him until the international break.
He subsequently missed four games for his club – three in Serie A and a 1-0 defeat to Arsenal in the Champions League – and was left out of Scotland's squad for their opening four Nations League fixtures.
Scotland earned four points in his absence, with their only victory thus far under Sebastien Pocognoli coming away to North Macedonia (2-0).
McTominay's club face a packed schedule before the next international break in November, with Saturday's meeting with Frosinone kickstarting a run of nine matches in just over four weeks, both domestically and in Europe.
But the midfielder will be available for selection, after Napoli released a...
Morgan Rogers would rate the start of his Chelsea career as a 10 out of 10, even if the Blues' results have been mixed ahead of Saturday's meeting with Bournemouth.
After winning their first two Premier League games under Xabi Alonso, Chelsea went into the international break on a three-game winless run (D1 L2), being trounced 3-0 by Brentford last time out.
They sit 10th in the table ahead of hosting Bournemouth, who are themselves 17th with three points, having failed to win any of their first five games under Marco Rose.
Rogers' individual statistics have been strong, though, as he has three goals and one assist already this season, following his British-record £117m move from Aston Villa.
Only Joao Pedro (three goals, three assists) has more goal involvements for the Blues in the Premier League this campaign.
During an interview with The Standard during the international break, the England midfielder was asked to rate his start to the season...
Dan James has urged Leeds United not to get carried away with their unbeaten start to the Premier League season, as they prepare to visit champions Arsenal on Saturday.
Leeds are one of five teams yet to taste defeat in the top flight this campaign, having won two and drawn three of their opening five matches.
They went into the extended international break off the back of a goalless draw with Crystal Palace, having thrashed Newcastle United 4-1 in their previous match.
And James – who appeared in three of Wales' four Nations League matches during the hiatus – says everyone around Daniel Farke's squad will be switched on and ready to go at the Emirates Stadium this weekend.
"It is a long season. We have started well and I think it is easy to get carried away," James told LUTV.
"But as I said, we have got tough opponents coming and we have just got to take every game as it goes. You can't underestimate anyone in this league. Anyone can beat...
Now that Lionel Messi’s international career has come to an end, there will be endless discussions about records.
People will count goals. They will count assists. They will count appearances. They will count trophies.
The problem is that none of those numbers truly explain what Messi meant to Argentina. Or to football.
Because unlike most great players, Messi’s international journey was not defined by uninterrupted success. It was defined by struggle, expectation, heartbreak and redemption. That is what made it unforgettable.
The Burden Nobody Else Had to Carry
From the moment Messi emerged, he inherited an impossible challenge. He was not merely expected to become great. He was expected to become Diego Maradona.
Every touch was compared. Every failure was magnified. Every defeat became a national crisis. For years, it seemed unfair.
Messi would produce brilliant performances, yet discussions inevitably returned to one question:...
Andoni Iraola has revealed Alexander Isak and Cody Gakpo are both doubtful for Liverpool's clash with Manchester City on Sunday due to injuries they sustained on international duty.
Having made an unbeaten start to Iraola's tenure, winning two and drawing three of their first five Premier League games of 2026-27, Liverpool face an enormous test this week.
Their first game after the extended international break is against a City side who boast the Premier League's only remaining 100% record, having won five from five under Enzo Maresca.
And the Reds could be without two of their most important attacking players at Anfield.
Isak, whose four goals in all competitions are the most of any Liverpool player this term, only appeared once for Sweden during the hiatus before withdrawing from their squad due to a thigh issue.
And Gakpo, whose six combined goal involvements (two goals, four assists) are more than any of his Liverpool team-mates have managed...
Manchester City legend David Silva has reversed his retirement from football to join Hong Kong Premier League club Sha Tin, at the age of 40.
Silva made 309 Premier League appearances for City between 2010 and 2020 – the most by any player for the club.
He scored 60 goals and provided 93 assists in the Premier League – the second-most by any City player behind Kevin De Bruyne's 118 – and won the title four times.
He also lifted the FA Cup twice, the EFL Cup five times and the Community Shield twice during his time at the Etihad Stadium, as well as winning two European Championships and the World Cup with Spain.
Silva retired in 2023 following three seasons with Real Sociedad, having suffered a serious knee injury, but he will now represent a team who sit eighth in the Hong Kong Premier League after four matches, having only won promotion to the top flight last season.
...Nestor Lorenzo was impressed by the way Colombia's young players adapted during the first international break since the World Cup, which they ended with a 2-0 win over Peru.
Samuel Velasquez and Daniel Arcila both scored their first senior international goals as Lorenzo's side claimed a deserved success at Inter Miami's Nu Stadium on Tuesday.
Colombia accumulated 1.53 expected goals from their 16 shots, five of which were on target, compared to Peru failing to hit the target from five attempts with an xG value of 0.36.
Peru had substitute Miguel Araujo sent off at 1-0, as he conceded possession cheaply to Camilo Duran before hauling him down as the last man.
Lorenzo did not call up star forward Luis Diaz for the current international break, with an agreement reached with Bayern Munich to allow him to rest, while former captain James Rodriguez retired from Colombia duty last month.
And even with Tuesday's win coming off the back of a 1-1 draw with...
Rafael Marquez conceded Mexico have much work to do after a dispiriting 2-0 defeat to Chile extended his winless start in charge of El Tri.
Having taken over when Javier Aguirre resigned following July's World Cup round-of-16 defeat to England, Marquez is yet to taste victory as his nation's head coach.
Mexico opened the extended international break with back-to-back 1-1 draws against Colombia and Peru before losing 3-0 to the United States last Saturday, and they concluded their tour of the USA with another poor display on Tuesday.
Second-half goals from Maximiliano Gutierrez and Vicente Pizarro saw Chile leave the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum as deserved victors and led to Mexico being jeered by the majority of the 56,000-strong crowd.
Chile won the expected goals (xG) battle by 1.2 to 0.63 and had two Opta-defined big chances to Mexico's zero, despite only having a 35.8% possession share.
But while Marquez knows Mexico's performances have not...
According to talkSPORT, Bournemouth have no plans to sell Alex Scott during the January transfer window despite renewed interest from several major clubs. The midfielder remains a key part of the Cherries’ long-term plans, and club sources are adamant he will stay at the Vitality Stadium until at least the end of the season.
Chelsea are reportedly preparing a fresh attempt to sign the England international after seeing an offer worth £64 million rejected during the summer. Real Madrid have also been monitoring Scott’s progress, particularly after his impressive first start for England in their 7-0 victory over Croatia in the UEFA Nations League.
Interest in the 23-year-old continues to grow, but Bournemouth remain...
Rodrigo De Paul led the tributes to his close friend Lionel Messi following his final Argentina appearance, saying the legendary forward helped him grow both as a player and a person.
Messi won his 208th and final cap for Argentina on Tuesday, as La Albiceleste beat Benin 3-0 on an emotional occasion at the Estadio Monumental.
Messi assisted goals for Nicolas Otamendi and Nico Paz before scoring Argentina's third from the penalty spot, taking his overall tally in international football to 126, 61 of which have come since Lionel Scaloni took charge in 2018.
The 39-year-old ended the game ranked first for shots (nine), shots on target (five), expected goals (1.97 xG), touches in the opposition box (12), chances created (four), dribbles (four) and final-third passes (41).
Some of Messi's team-mates were in tears ahead of kick-off, and after the forward addressed the crowd at full-time, De Paul was among those to heap praise upon him.
The midfielder...
