O atacante Orlando Berrío foi a grande novidade do treino do Flamengo, na manhã desta sexta-feira, no Ninho do Urubu. Ele voltou a treinar com bola, ao lado dos demais companheiros, e fica à disposição do técnico Zé Ricardo para o jogo contra o Vasco, neste sábado, pela semifinal da Taça Guanabara. O colombiano ficou fora dos dois últimos jogos do Flamengo por causa de um desconforto na coxa esquerda.

O meia Conca fez exercícios físicos no gramado e também algumas atividades com bola. Auxiliado pela preparação física, o atleta deu alguns toques na “pelota”, dando indícios da sua evolução. Depois, ele participou de um “bobinho” e também de um “golzinho” com outros jogadores. O camisa 19 está em recuperação de uma cirurgia no joelho esquerdo e pode voltar em abril ou maio.

Conca teve a companhia de Donatti e Ederson. O zagueiro sentiu um desconforto no joelho direito na partida contra o Ceará, na última quarta-feira. Já o camisa 10 ainda segue em recuperação do edema ósseo sofrido em julho do ano passado. Ele vem treinando no campo há algum tempo, mas não tem previsão oficial de retorno aos jogos.

Boa parte do treino desta sexta-feira foi fechado à imprensa. Os jornalistas puderam acompanhar somente o tradicional rachão na véspera de um jogo.

Com uma contusão no tornozelo direito, o atacante Leandro Damião desfalca o Flamengo mais uma vez diante do Vasco. Ele ainda se recupera da pancada que recebeu na partida contra o América-MG, pela Primeira Liga, e não foi a campo nesta sexta-feira.

A century from Nasser Hussain and a partnership of 145 for the fourth wicket with John Crawley put England into a commanding position after the first day of the first npower Test against India at Lord’s

Ralph Dellor25-Jul-2002A century from Nasser Hussain and a partnership of 145 for the fourth wicket with John Crawley put England into a commanding position after the first day of the first npower Test against India at Lord’s. India had enjoyed early success in taking three wickets, but they then had to toil on an increasingly flat pitch so that, by the close, England were solidly in control at 257 for four.Mark Butcher opened the innings with Michael Vaughan in the absence of Marcus Trescothick with a broken thumb. Trescothick’s absence accounted for a much slower scoring rate than usual, but the openers faced considerable movement with the new ball, with Ashish Nehra in particular getting the ball to go up the slope. He sometimes actually got too much movement, as when he bowled a big wide that had wicket-keeper Ajay Ratra scrambling across to prevent more extras.Zaheer Kahn was accuracy personified so it was not until his fifth over that he conceded his first run. By that time he had accounted for Michael Vaughan who was trapped right in front before either he or England had opened their account.Nasser Hussain took some to get going with his emphasis on survival, but he gradually began to extend his ambitions with a searing square drive off the bowling of Zaheer. Butcher too began to appear more comfortable and this pair reached a fifty partnership, albeit off 108 balls.They appeared set to go through until the interval, but Anil Kumble, bowling the penultimate over before lunch, found a ball that turned onto Butcher’s pad off the inside edge of the bat and Wasim Jaffer stretched out to his right at short leg to hold onto a smart catch. Butcher was out for 29 at exactly the wrong time from the side’s point of view.Graham Thorpe announced himself at the crease by square driving his first ball through the off side for four, while Hussain was content to remain until the interval at which point he had 37 and England were 76 for two.Just as England had lost a wicket in the second over of the day, so they lost another in the second over after lunch. Zaheer was the bowler again, finding a peach of a ball that went down the hill enough to beat Thorpe’s tentative push and clip the off stump.Once more, Hussain had to rebuild the innings, this time in company with John Crawley. He went to a necessarily laborious fifty from 128 balls, but it was punctuated with some quality strokes producing nine fours. Crawley, meanwhile was batting with a certain freedom and fluidity that was good to see in a player returning to Test cricket after a lengthy absence.After Thorpe’s dismissal, the afternoon proved to be a good one for England. The 101 runs added in the session came from 30 overs, with both batsmen gaining in fluency. Crawley was particularly successful through the off side, off both back and front foot, while Hussain went about his business in a thoroughly professional manner so that by tea he was on 82 and Crawley 48 out of a total of 177 for three.Hussain had scored a century against India during the NatWest Series final on this ground just ten days ago and now he repeated the feat with what, it has to be said, was a much better innings. His third Test century against India and his eleventh in total came from 192 balls with 17 fours – some caressed through the off side, and others thumped back past the bowler.He received excellent support from Crawley in a partnership that was blossoming into one of sizeable proportions. After the initial movement, the bowlers were struggling to contain the batsmen to the extent that Nehra was operating with a sweeper on the cover boundary in an attempt to stem the flow of runs.Saurav Ganguly’s options were becoming limited with his attack toiling on what was now a flat pitch so he resorted to the somewhat occasional off-spin of Virender Sehwag. As so often happens in these circumstances, it was Sehwag who made the breakthrough. The partnership was worth 145 and Crawley was on 64 when he cut at a ball that bounced a little more than he expected and he chopped it to Rahul Dravid at slip.This was the cue for extended applause as Alec Stewart made his way to the middle in his 119th Test – a record for England. With his radiantly proud parents looking on, Stewart eased himself into his task of keeping his captain company through until stumps.That task was accomplished as Hussain managed to keep his concentration just about intact to close on 120 with Stewart still there on 19 and both ready to press home England’s hard-won advantage on the morrow.

Michael Ball insists Everton only want players who are fully committed to the cause following Carlo Ancelotti’s shock exit from Goodison Park.

The Italian decided to walk out on the Merseyside club after Real Madrid expressed their interest in appointing him.

Zinedine Zidane, of course, walked out on Real and, as a result, a vacancy was opened up in Spain, which Ancelotti filled once more.

He previously spent two years at the club, between 2013 and 2015, and won the Champions League in his first spell at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Ball, though, believes that Toffees fans are growing tired of both managers and players deciding to leave the club as soon as a big offer is tabled, and has urged the club to only bring people to the club who are completely committed to being a success on Merseyside.

Reports suggest that Nuno Espirito Santo, the former Wolves boss, is likely to be appointed as Ancelotti’s successor.

Speaking exclusively to Football FanCast, he said: “I think Everton fans are sick and tired of hearing the same stuff from the board and the players. That as soon as an opportunity comes, they’re off.

“If they don’t want to be here, if their head’s not right, they don’t want to be 100% dedicated to the football club next season, I’m more than happy for them to let them go and bring in someone who has got the right desire and right belief to be a club legend and get Everton to complete this project that we’re on right now.”

Manicaland were still batting at close of play on Day One as captain and opening batsman Neil Ferreira led from the front with a defiant 135 not out. Thevisitors were 247/8 in their first innings after 99 overs on a relatively slow match at Alexandra Sports Club.Ferreira held the Manicaland innings together with a defiant knock, which lasted the entire day. He faced 307 balls in 390 minutes, smashing 13 sixes.The day began with the surprise inclusion of pace bowler Henry Olonga as the Mashonaland A captain. Olonga had been in India with the national as acommentator and he arrived in the country late Thursday while the rest of the squad arrived midday Friday.Tired from the long flight back home, Olonga did not bowl until the 90th over.With a heavy Alex outfield, the Manicaland batsmen were content with getting singles and at close of play there had only been 23 fours.The biggest partnership of the day was 132 off 47.1 overs for the third wicket between Ferreira and former national team vice-captain Guy Whittall. Whittalldeparted for 53 off 138 balls as Manicaland had moved from 46/2 to 178/3.Olonga’s decision to introduce Gavin Rennie after lunch sparked a Manicaland middle-order collapse as the in-out national team player grabbed threeconsecutive wickets in five overs. Manicaland blooded two players Greg Sims, 23, and Michael John Robinson, 17.Greg is young brother to all-rounder Richie and batted at number three where he made eight off 23 balls while Robinson was unbeaten on the same score off 24 balls having batted at number 10.

Dean Windass has exclusively told Football FanCast that he expects Roy Hodgson to take a break from football after his Crystal Palace departure, following reports from The Sun that he could be a contender to replace Sam Allardyce at West Bromwich Albion.

Following just under four years in the Selhurst Park dugout, the 73-year-old made the decision to stand down from his role at his boyhood club earlier this week.

Palace have endured a poor end to Hodgson’s reign, winning just three times in their final 11 Premier League games, and whilst they could finish as low as 16th depending on final-day results, he’s continued the good work from those before him to make the Eagles an established top-flight club.

They never finished lower than 14th in Hodgson’s, showing that he’s clearly still more than good enough to manage at Premier League level despite this being his 45th year as a manager.

Hodgson’s previous club job before Palace was West Brom, with Jeremy Peace labelling him as “outstanding” following his appointment in the west Midlands in 2011. And following the departure of Sam Allardyce, does Windass believe he could make a sensational return to the Hawthorns?

He told Football FanCast:

“I think he needs to take a break; he’s getting on now. I’m aware that he’s hands on, on the training ground, but take a bit of time out, do a bit of media work, watch a lot of games.

“I think he will sit off now, enjoy your life. He’s been remarkable. I’ve never met him but he looks like a gentleman, but I think he will walk away.”

Everton have just three games left to play this season. It’ll be a hotly contested run of matches that will determine the level of European football they feature in next term.

They are, of course, not guaranteed continental status yet but it would be one box ticked off in Carlo Ancelotti’s aims for the club.

When he first arrived, the Italian revealed he wanted to bring Champions League football back to Goodison Park.

He may have admitted that’s now out of the question for this season at least, but a place in the Europa League is very much in their sights.

On the chalkboard

One player who will be key to their European hopes is James Rodriguez.

The Colombian hasn’t featured since being taken off late in the win over Arsenal at the beginning of the month.

James has since missed the next three games with a minor injury but he has trained this week and has now fully recovered.

Depending on his fitness, Ancelotti must bring him straight back into the starting XI on Sunday evening.

The Toffees face Sheffield United and if their wretched season tells us anything, it’s that Everton should score plenty.

[snack-amp-story url= “https://www.footballfancast.com/web-stories/read-the-latest-everton-transfer-news-lukaku-leao-bissouma-berge-antony” title=”Read the latest Everton transfer news!”]

Paul Heckingbottom’s men have conceded the third-highest number of goals in the top-flight this season and if the game was played on paper, they should have no answer to attacking threats like Dominic Calvert-Lewin.

The forward has racked up 21 strikes this term and will now be aided by the return of James; Everton’s chief creator on nine assists.

Speaking about the £90k-per-week earner earlier this term, Calvert-Lewin said: “I’d seen the great goals he’d scored and the big teams he’d played for. He’s a top, top player and for me, as a centre-forward, I knew chance-creation would be there and it would be down to me to put the ball in the back of the net.”

The striker continued: “I’m really enjoying playing with him. He’s a different level. He dictates games. He takes players out of games by taking touches. The way he manipulates the ball, he’s very hard to get it off – I don’t think I’ve seen him get tackled, even in training.”

Therefore, if Ancelotti gets the chance to unleash a player like that against a team already relegated, they could run riot.

James has slowed as the term has gone on but the former Real Madrid man has been involved in 15 goals across all competitions.

A magician on his day, it’s still incredibly hard to fathom how the Merseysiders landed him last summer.

The 29-year-old has been a wonderful addition to the Premier League; it’ll be a welcome sight to see him return from injury.

AND in other news, Everton could find their very own TAA by signing £3.5k-p/w gem with “enormous ability”…

Former Celtic man Frank McAvennie expects the Hoops to make a significant defensive addition this summer after it was confirmed that Shane Duffy’s loan spell at Parkhead was cut short.

The Lowdown: A deal to forget

It’s safe to say the deal involving Duffy last year has been one to forget for all involved.

Celtic reportedly paid Brighton around £2m to take the 29-year-old on loan and were paying around £25,000 of his salary.

He began as a regular under Neil Lennon, however, he started just once in nine Scottish Premiership fixtures before having his stay in Glasgow cut short.

Reports last month even suggested that recruitment chief Gary Penrice was in line for the exit after being the driving force for the failed Duffy signing, which just goes to show how disappointing the deal turned out.

The Latest: Duffy returns; McAvennie’s claim

The big news regarding Duffy’s Brighton return was confirmed last week (via Daily Record). A Celtic source revealed hours prior to the news that the Irishman was unlikely to play for the club again barring an injury crisis, with the Hoops, at the time, having just two fixtures remaining.

Talking to Football Insider regarding Duffy’s loan spell, McAvennie labelled it as a ‘disaster’ before admitting he ‘expects’ the club to sign a new ‘powerhouse’ at the back.

“It’s been a disaster.

“They took a chance and it’s not worked out. He’s not covered himself in glory with some of the performances he put in up there.

“With the sacking of Neil Lennon, or him walking away whichever way you want to put it, that opportunity of him singing permanently has gone.

“There are a lot of loan players there are going to go back to their parent clubs given the season they’ve had and whoever the new manager is will not pursue them.

“It’s safe to say there’s no question mark over Duffy. He’s not done enough and not been good enough. He’s shown fragility at the back that a team like Celtic can’t have.

“They need stronger players, quicker players and better quality players, unfortunately. I expect them to sign a new defensive powerhouse.

“I’m sure Shane Duffy will find another club somewhere and hopefully that will suit him better.

“He’s shown that he’s not up to the job at Celtic.”

The Verdict: A new centre-back should be top of club’s wishlist

In our opinion, a new centre-back needs to be top of the club’s summer wishlist when it comes to player recruitment.

Christopher Jullien has been out with a long-term injury, while Kristoffer Ajer is reportedly destined to quit Celtic Park.

Should Jullien remain sidelined and Ajer seal a move away, that would leave the new Hoops manager with just youngster Stephen Welsh as the only recognised senior centre-back ahead of the 2021/22 campaign.

Nir Bitton can turn out as a centre-back when required, however, it wouldn’t exactly be ideal if Celtic didn’t make at least one marquee defensive acquisition, and perhaps even a second new addition for depth.

يرى وليد صلاح الدين صانع ألعاب الأهلي المعتزل أن فريق الكرة بالقلعة الحمراء وضع نفسه في مأزق بعد الهزيمة من صن داونز الجنوب إفريقي في المباراة التي أقيمت ببطولة دوري أبطال إفريقيا.

وخسر الأهلي من صن داونز بهدفٍ وحيد في المباراة التي احتضنها ملعب السلام بالقاهرة ضمن منافسات الجولة الثالثة من دور المجموعات بدوري الأبطال.

وقال وليد صلاح خلال مداخلة هاتفية ببرنامج “يا نهار أبيض” المذاع على محطة “راديو 9090”: “أداء الأهلي أمام الهلال طبيعي بسبب الإجهاد وعودة اللاعبين الدوليين من المشاركة مع منتخب مصر في كأس العرب وبطولة الأمم الإفريقية”.

وأضاف: “مباراة الاهلي وصن داونز تقييمها مختلف لأنها بين فريقين كبيرين والفريق المصري قدم أداء مميزا والمواجهات الكبيرة الطبيعي ألا تصنع سوى 3 أو 4 فرص”.

وواصل: “وظيفة المدير الفني أن تصل للمرمى من خلال جمل فنية وهذا حدث ووصل الأهلي كثيرا بحوالي 10 هجمات وحارس صن داونز تصدى للكثير”.

وتابع: “أضاع أحمد عبد القادر ومحمد مجدي أفشة وحمدي فتحي فرصا عديدة، والأهلي قدم أداء جيدا، ولو كنت المدير الفني كنت سأغير الخطة بنزول بيرسي تاو لـ4-3-2-1 وهذا كله وفقا لسير اللقاء”.

وأردف: “المدير الفني احترم صن داونز ولم يقصر، ولديه حق لأن المنافس فريق محترم ويمتلك لاعبين مميزين جدًا وفي النهاية مواجهات الأهلي أمام الفريق الجنوب إفريقي صعبة”.

واستأنف: “الطبيعي أن تسجل الهدف الأول ثم تتراجع لوسط ملعبك ثم تلعب على الهجمة المرتدة”.

واختتم: “الأهلي وضع نفسه في مأزق، ولكننا معتادون على هذه الظروف والطبيعي أن ينتصر في مباراتي المريخ ومواجهة الهلال بغض النظر عن لقاء صن داونز بالخارج”.

ويستعد الأهلي لمواجهة فاركو في الدوري المصري الممتاز غدًا الثلاثاء، ثم سيلاقي المريخ السوداني يوم السبت المقبل في المباراة المؤجلة من الجولة الأولى بدور المجموعات في دوري أبطال إفريقيا.

Leeds United have been boosted in their attempts to sign Sampdoria defender Omar Colley, as the Whites eye up summer reinforcements.

Marcelo Bielsa already has a strong nucleus of centre-backs to call upon, with Liam Cooper, Diego Llorente, Robin Koch and Pascal Struijk all good current options.

That doesn’t seem to have deterred the Leeds manager from looking at other possible defensive additions, however, if recent reports are to be believed.

The Whites are thought to be lining up a move for Colley, with ClubDoria46 linking the 28-year-old with a switch to Elland Road on Tuesday.

[freshpress-quiz id=“351040″]

Leeds receive boost in bid to sign Colley

Now, TuttoMercatoWeb claim that he will be allowed to leave Sampdoria at the end of the season, also adding a second positive piece of news that he obtained a work permit in February, acting as a further boost for Leeds.

The Whites’ interest in Colley is again confirmed, stating that they are hovering ‘in the background’, looking to potentially seal a move for him.

Transfer Tavern take

Colley’s pedigree speaks for itself, with 25 caps to his name for The Gambia and 78 appearances for a prestigious Serie A club in Sampdoria.

Leeds’ interest is, therefore, undoubtedly exciting, but the main stumbling block is whether or not they need to spend money on a new centre-back.

The aforementioned quartet of options currently available to Bielsa are all at a good age, so using the funds on other positions, such as left-back, could be a more shrewd approach.

In other news, an ex-England striker believes Leeds need to improve in two areas of the pitch this summer. Read more here.
