MANCHESTER, England : Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola said the decision to re-sign former captain Ilkay Gundogan was an easy one, considering the season the German international enjoyed at Barcelona.
Liverpool manager Arne Slot said on Friday he was relaxed about his new club's lack of transfer activity after inheriting a "very good team" at Anfield. Slot has the unenviable task of succeeding Jurgen Klopp but got off to a winning start by beating newly-promoted Ipswich 2-0 on the opening weekend of the Premier League season. Liverpool are the only side in the English top flight yet to make a single signing in the window. Spain international Martin Zubimendi rejected the opportunity to leave Real Sociedad, while a deal for Valencia goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili is reportedly close that would see the Georgian stay at the Mestalla this season on loan.
Real Madrid midfielder Jude Bellingham is set to miss around a month according to Spanish reports after suffering a calf injury in training on Friday. "Following tests carried out today on Jude Bellingham by Real Madrid's medical team, the player has been diagnosed with an injury to the plantaris muscle in his right leg," said Madrid in a statement, without specifying his expected absence time. Bellingham will miss La Liga games against Real Valladolid, Las Palmas and Real Betis, as well as England's Nations League matches against the Republic of Ireland and Finland in September.
Barcelona coach Hansi Flick is hopeful Dani Olmo can make his debut for the club on Saturday against Athletic Bilbao. The playmaker signed from RB Leipzig this summer has not yet been registered with La Liga because of the Catalan giants' financial difficulties. Barcelona allowed midfielder Ilkay Gundogan to rejoin Manchester City on Friday which could give them enough room to register Olmo. "(Finances) are not my job, we work with the team and I love what I see this week, Dani is ready to play and we're waiting for that and hopefully tomorrow he's on the team," Flick told reporters Friday.
The numbers will favour Jay Shah to mount the saddle as the next ICC Chairman but there is no clarity if he decides to join the world governing body, who will replace him as BCCI secretary. Shah is supposed to have the backing of 15 out of 16 members in the ICC Board but has less than 96 hours to decide if he wants to make the move when he still has one year left in his second consecutive term as BCCI secretary. The new ICC chairman will take charge on December 1, and the last date for filing nomination is August 27. The mandatory three-year cooling off period to make a comeback to the wealthiest cricket board will start for Shah after completion of his term in October 2025.
