David Hussey, the Australia and Victoria batsman, will lead Nottinghamshire in the Friends Provident Twenty20 competition this English domestic season. Hussey is the club’s second overseas player, joining his Australia Twenty20 team-mate, left-arm fast bowler Dirk Nannes.Hussey will only lead the club during the Twenty20 tournament, while Chris Read will resume his duties as captain in the 40-over one-day competition and the County Championship.”Captaining in Twenty20 cricket can be very intense and I feel that it’s best for me and the team if I take a break and draw on David Hussey’s experience,” Read said. “David has an excellent record in this format and he’ll have his own ideas on how the team should approach matches that I’m sure we’ll all learn from.”He’ll have my full support and the support of every player in the dressing room.”Hussey has played 23 Twenty20 internationals for Australia, most recently in the ICC World Twenty20, and has scored 512 runs at 28.44. He starred for his team in the World Twenty20 final against England, making 59 to help Australia recover to a competitive score after a poor start, but one they failed to defend.

O fato de cogitar a contratação de Gustavo Scarpa dias depois de ter anunciado Lucas Lima como reforço não significa que o Palmeiras esteja disposto a se desfazer de Alejandro Guerra. A diretoria diz nos bastidores que confia no meia venezuelano e não pretende utilizá-lo como moeda de troca.

Aos 32 anos, Guerra foi um dos principais reforços do clube para 2017. Ele foi eleito o melhor jogador da Libertadores do ano passado, vencida por sua equipe, o Atlético Nacional (COL), e custou cerca de R$ 10 milhões pagos pela Crefisa. Até julho, quando seu filho sofreu um acidente doméstico, o camisa 18 era um dos principais nomes da equipe. Ele fez 38 jogos no total e marcou sete gols.

Ao menos duas equipes se mostraram interessadas em fazer trocas com o Verdão nesta janela. O clube autorizou o Fluminense a conversar com alguns de seus atletas e, dependendo de quantos e quais aceitarem ir para as Laranjeiras, tentará receber Scarpa na negociação. O volante Matheus Sales, que estava emprestado ao Bahia, é um dos nomes da lista.

Já o Atlético-PR quer uma compensação para liberar imediatamente o goleiro Weverton, que tem acordo com o Palmeiras, mas só fica sem contrato em maio. Os rubro-negros pediram o meia Raphael Veiga, mas os paulistas também não estão dispostos a liberá-lo.

O lateral-direito Fabiano, o meia Hyoran e os atacantes Erik e Róger Guedes puxam a fila dos que não devem ser aproveitados em 2018.Michel Bastos é outro que tem seu nome frequentemente especulado em outros clubes, mas seu agente diz que o desejo é permanecer.

No momento, os meias centralizados do elenco são Guerra, Lucas Lima, Raphael Veiga e Hyoran. Moisés também pode executar esta função, mas já declarou que prefere atuar como primeiro ou segundo volante. O mesmo vale para Dudu, que já atuou por ali, mas rende muito mais pelo lado.

A manhã desta sexta-feira não trouxe uma notícia muito boa para o Flamengo e seus torcedores. Por ter sido pego no doping após a partida entre Argentina e Peru pelas Eliminatórias da Copa do Mundo da Rússia, o atacante Paolo Guerrero está suspenso por um ano do futebol.

A decisão foi publicada no site oficial da FIFA.Guerrero testou positivo para a benzoilecgonina, um metabólito da cocaína. Como já vinha cumprindo uma suspensão provisória, o atacante só poderá retornar aos gramados no dia 3 de novembro de 2018.

Sem perder tempo, a defesa do atleta confirmou ao LANCE!que irá recorrer de forma imediata para reduzir a pena. Um dos advogados do peruano, Bichara Neto, garantiu que o fato do uso de cocaína ter sido descartado ajuda o atleta que esta prestes a completar 34 anos.

Pouco tempo depois, os advogados do atacante peruano soltaram uma nota oficial, onde revelaram estar surpresos com a punição tão longa para o seu cliente e garantindo que vão até o fim para ajudar Guerrero.

Confira a nota dos advogados de Guerrero

“Guerrero e seus advogados receberam com extrema surpresa e decepção o resultado publicado pela FIFA, punindo o atleta com 1 ano de suspensão, mesmo reconhecendo que o atleta não faz uso de cocaína. As provas são contundentes e somadas à baixíssima concentração de metabólito comum à folha de coca, não justificam em nenhuma hipótese essa decisão. Vamos recorrer até a última instância em busca doe justiça e em prol do Jogo Limpo e do Esporte Justo”

Guerrero pode não atuar mais pelo Flamengo. Entenda:

A punição de Paolo Guerrero imposta pela FIFA vai até o dia 3 de novembro de 2018. Antes disso, em agosto, o vínculo entre o atacante e o Flamengo chegará ao fim. Caso a defesa não consiga reduzir a pena, o camisa 9 pode não jogar mais pelo Rubro-Negro.

A última partida do atacante pelo clube foi no dia 19 de outubro, na goleada por 4 a 1 sobre o Bahia, onde inclusive, o camisa 9 deixou o campo de jogo lesionado. O Flamengo ainda não se posicionou sobre a punição e está estudando o caso.

Pelo clube carioca, Guerrero já disputou 108 partidas e marcou 42 gols. Em 2017, foram 45 aparições, com 20 bolas na rede. Mesmo ficando um bom tempo de fora, o atleta de 33 anos é o artilheiro do time na temporada, seguido pelo meia Diego, que tem 17.

A final call on Sreesanth and the injured VVS Laxman will be taken on Saturday, according to the Indian team manager Arshad Ayub

Sriram Veera in Dhaka22-Jan-2010A final call on Sreesanth and the injured VVS Laxman will be taken on Saturday, according to the Indian team manager Arshad Ayub.Laxman was supposed to leave for India on Friday but there has been a change of plan. “We will wait till tomorrow before we decide what to do,” Ayub told Cricinfo. Laxman hurt his left hand on Wednesday when he dropped a catch in third slip and had ten stitches to his hand.India had more injury worries during the first Test as Sreesanth suffered a strain on his thigh while bowling in the second innings. He left the field, unable to complete the over. Ayub said that a MRI scan was taken and that a decision on Sreesanth will only be communicated on Saturday.India have already said that there will not be any replacement even if Laxman is sent back home and it is still not known whether Sreesanth’s injury is serious enough for him to ruled out of the second Test.

Wolves performed nothing short of a miracle conceding only one goal to Premier League champions Manchester City this afternoon after going down to ten men in the first half of the game.

Bruno Lage’s side went to the Etihad Stadium to face a City side who had won their last five games in the league.

Wolves were dealt a huge blow at the end of the first half when Raul Jimenez was red-carded just before the interval; and from that point, Wolves were reliant on the attacking prowess of Adama Traore to try and take something from the game, having gone in at half-time on level terms.

One man who went into this game with a point to prove was Traore, who was handed a start alongside Jimenez in a front two. However, the 26-year-old has failed to register a single goal or assist for his club this season, and that was the case once more against Manchester City today.

The visitors couldn’t hold on to take a point from the game after Joao Moutinho was caught by a handball inside the box, leading to a penalty which saw Raheem Sterling score his 100th Premier League goal in the 66th minute.

Not only did Traore fail to score or set up a team-mate in finding the net today, according to SofaScore the £43k-p/w winger had fewer touches than Jose Sa. He only made seven passes in his 67 minutes on the pitch and did not have a single shot on or off target, completely lacking creativity and involvement in throughout his time on the field before he was subbed off for Hwang Hee-chan.

This is the 17th appearance this season for Traore where he has failed to have any goal involvements for Wolves, and it may be time for Lage to opt for other, more consistent forwards like Daniel Podence and Hwang, who have proven they are capable of creating and finishing chances. The South Korean has scored four goals in the same number of appearances as Traore this term.

Traore’s performance today evoked a scathing comment from Graeme Souness earlier in the season, when the Sky Sports pundit said of the 26-year-old: “He’s a near miss as a footballer. He gets you on the edge of your seat but time and time again you’re going to shake your head at the misses he has. There’s not a lot of goals, not a lot of return.”

After drawing another blank today and giving an overall poor performance, it’s hard to disagree with Souness’ critique of the underperforming Wolves winger, who failed the test of being put in a centre-forward role by Lage this afternoon.

Manchester United have suffered a potential selection setback ahead of their Premier League clash with Watford this afternoon, with key defender Luke Shaw unlikely to feature from the off.

What’s the word?

The Red Devils will definitely be without French duo Paul Pogba and Raphael Varane after they picked up thigh and hamstring injuries respectively. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer could also have to contend with the enforced absences of both Edinson Cavani and Shaw.

Cavani missed the Manchester City match last time out and was not included in the Uruguay squad for the recent international break due to a tendon injury, while the England left-back has not appeared in training footage this week after he suffered a concussion against Pep Guardiola’s charges.

Solskjaer was coy over the pair’s availability in Friday’s press conference, but it’s very unlikely that they will be able to take their places in the starting XI when the Red Devils travel to Vicarage Road.

“There are a couple of doubts with illnesses and small niggles,” the Norwegian revealed. “Paul (Pogba) is out for a while, Rapha (Varane) is out for a while. Apart from that, players will be coming back in the near future, some this weekend, some in the week, but that’s the same for other players.”

Solskjaer will be gutted

The news that Shaw is highly unlikely to play any part for the 20-time English champions against Watford will leave Solskjaer feeling gutted.

Although the England international hasn’t been in top form this season, he has still started every Premier League game for United, highlighting how integral he is to the team.

His underlying numbers indicated how effective the 26-year-old has been this term despite his slip in performance levels. As per WhoScored, Shaw has averaged 1.8 crosses per league game – the highest tally amongst his teammates – and 2.1 key passes, the second-highest total when compared to his colleagues. Indeed, Old Trafford legend Rio Ferdinand has spoken highly of the left-back’s “exquisite” ball distribution in recent months.

Therefore, United’s attack could well be blunted if the marauding left-back is forced to watch on from the sidelines, providing a major blow to the Red Devils’ chances of securing a much-needed victory in Hertfordshire this afternoon.

If Antonio Conte wanted his first game to sum up everything he will have to work with at Tottenham, then he no doubt saw it all against Vitesse in the Europa Conference League on Thursday night.

The Italian witnessed a quite incredible opening game in charge, with the Lilywhites storming into a 3-0 lead before being pegged back to 3-2 and seeing three red cards dished out in a frantic second half.

The defending would have left him scratching his head at times, but Conte would surely have been very excited by the performance and potential of one of the club’s summer signings in Emerson Royal.

The man signed by Fabio Paratici was deployed in the right wing-back role in Conte’s favoured formation and showed all the signs of industry and dynamism which could make him a real big player for the former Inter boss.

As per Sofascore, he won eight duels on the night (the joint-second most of any player on the pitch behind international compatriot Lucas Moura), made the most tackles with five, and had the second-most touches of any Spurs player with 81.

Whether it was being intense and fully engaged with the way he tried to pressure the ball, or his powerful running going forward, the Brazilian was a superb outlet for Spurs, especially on the counter-attack.

It was the former Betis man’s charging run towards the closing stages of the game which eventually saw Vitesse’s goalkeeper sent off after being adjudged to having handled the ball outside of his box.

Writing in their post-match ratings for Hotspur HQ, they gave Emerson a 7.5, saying: “From an offensive perspective, Emerson Royal is getting better and better. Royal was a consistent outlet on the right and pushed forward early and often. Royal showed stepovers and a willingness to knock the ball into the box.

“As the team went down a man Royal did what he could in the back four, although not a natural fullback. Was right back on the front foot after the Vitesse card. It was Royal beating Markus Schubert to a ball down that wing that led to Vitesse’s second red card. Endless energy and effort.”

If the first game under the new manager was anything to go by, then Emerson could be a game-changing player under Conte with his relentless work down the right flank, and the Italian would surely have been raving with the 22-year-old’s performance on Thursday night.

Meanwhile, Spurs must replace this midfielder…

It’s safe to say that Liverpool have had a fairly successful week after obliterating their bitter rivals Manchester United by an eye-opening scoreline of 5-0 at Old Trafford, followed by beating Preston North End in the Carabao Cup to cruise through to the quarter-finals of the competition.

Looking ahead to the weekend, Jurgen Klopp’s side are set to take on Brighton & Hove Albion in the Premier League at Anfield, with one player potentially making his return to the side.

What’s the news?

With this match against Graham Potter’s side in mind, it seems as though the good mood around the club is set for another boost, with midfielder Thiago Alcantara returning to first team training on Thursday after being out for the previous few weeks with a calf injury.

Liverpool signed Thiago in September 2020 from German side Bayern Munich on a four-year deal for a reported fee of £20m. Since then, the 30-year-old, who is currently valued at £22.5m by Transfermarkt, has made 35 appearances for the Merseyside club across all competitions, scoring one goal and providing one assist.

Despite having a slow start to his time with the Reds in terms of goals and assists, the Spaniard ended his first season at the club as their third-highest rated player in the Premier League with an overall performance rating of 7.12/10 according to WhoScored, proving why Klopp will be thrilled to have the midfielder back in training and potentially available for selection for the Brighton match.

Furthermore, with Thiago racking up an average of 1.3 key passes per game as well as an average accuracy passing percentage of 90%, along with 2.5 tackles per game in his Premier League appearances last season, this shows how well-rounded a midfield option he is for the Reds and hints at how massive a boost it could be to have him available for selection once more.

Looking ahead to the Brighton game, if he is deemed fit enough to start, he should definitely be in Klopp’s thinking when he’s putting his starting XI together to try and secure a win against the Seagulls, who are currently fifth in the table with 15 points on the board after nine games played.

Com treino fechado, Micale encerrou a preparação do Atlético-MG, que enfrenta o Paraná às 19h deste sábado, no Independência. Na Cidade do Galo, a única movimentação que pôde ser acompanhada se resume a tradicional roda de bobinhos, que serve como aquecimento para o treino. Adotando o mistério mais uma vez, em busca de uma vaga na final da Primeira Liga, o técnico explicou o motivo do fechamento dos portões.

– A gente tem que acertar algumas situações em termos de bola parada. Eu sempre abro o treino para vocês (jornalistas). Como a gente não tem ideia do Paraná, também não quero facilitar. Porque quando eu quero saber as coisas, eu vou na pagina de vocês. Hoje tudo é muito instantâneo. (o treino fechado) É só para tentar dificultar um pouquinho a vida do Lisca (técnico do Paraná). São esses 30 jogadores que temos aí que podem jogar (risos) – disse o treinador em coletiva.

Apesar de esconder a escalação, há grandes chances de Micale formar um time com titulares, principalmente porque estes foram preservados da vitória por 1 a 0 sobre o Internacional, na última quinta-feira. Por conta disso, a principal dúvida fica por conta da entrada de Robinho e Fred. Os jogadores vem revezando entre a titularidade e o banco de reservas, entretanto, Micale deu indícios de que Robinho começará o jogo contra o Paraná no lugar de Cazares, que está a serviço da seleção equatoriana, que disputa as Eliminatórias da Copa.

– Não posso dizer (se Robinho e Fred vão jogar). Tem uma séria de avaliações que vamos fazer. Agora, não temos o Cazares, tem uma possibilidade para o Robinho. O Fred tem uma situação com o Rafael (Moura). Temos dado oportunidades de os dois jogarem. São jogadores que a gente confia muito. Sabemos que precisam mais de jogo, sem abrir mão daqueles que estão bem, no caso do Cazares, que hoje não está aí. Então é uma possibilidade. Vamos deixar para divulgar amanhã – apontou o técnico.

Com grande parte do elenco à disposição, a expectativa é de que o Atlético-MG enfrente o Paraná com Victor; Marcos Rocha, Gabriel, Leonardo Silva e Fábio Santos; Adílson, Elias, Luan, Robinho e Valdívia; Rafael Moura (Fred).
