Manchester United will make a late call on whether new signing Antony will play in Sunday's Premier League game against early pace-setters Arsenal while fellow forward Anthony Martial will miss the clash due to injury, manager Erik ten Hag said. United signed Antony on a five-year contract for a reported initial fee of 80.75 million pounds ($93.16 million) and the Brazil international who played under Ten Hag at Ajax Amsterdam took part in his first team training session on Friday. "He did his first training (on Thursday), so an individual session," Ten Hag told reporters after a 1-0 win at Leicester City on Thursday which lifted them to fifth in the league.
Formula One Grand Prix on Friday said reigning world champion Max Verstappen would get a massive welcome home party and they were not expecting the misbehaviour from fans that marred some races earlier in the season. The picturesque seaside circuit of Zandvoort, 25 kilometres (15 miles) west of Amsterdam, turned orange hours before the first practice for this weekend's Grand Prix, as over 100,000 Dutch fans gathered to cheer on their local hero. Zandvoort made a return to Formula One after a 36-year absence last year, when Verstappen's victory on a sunny weekend was celebrated amid a frenzy of orange flags and flares.
Captain Dipu Mirdha (64th) scored the opener for the hosts while Gani Ahmed Nigam (90+6th) converted from the spot in stoppage time of the second half to register a well-earned victory. NEUFC finished fourth in the group while finishing their campaign with three points, while Sudeva finished at the bottom of the table with two points. Sudeva looked the better side in the first-half dominating ball possession and creating chances.
Ravindra Jadeja was on Friday ruled out of the remainder of the Asia Cup due to a knee injury and Axar Patel will replace him in the squad. Jadeja had made a significant contribution with the bat in India's five-wicket win over Pakistan, making crucial 35 runs off 29 balls on August 28. The Saurashtra all-rounder did not get to bat against Hong Kong but returned tidy figures with the ball, conceding only 15 runs from his four overs with a wicket. "The All-India Senior Selection Committee has named Axar Patel as the replacement for Ravindra Jadeja in the ongoing Asia Cup," the BCCI said in a statement. "Ravindra Jadeja has sustained a right knee injury and is ruled out of the tournament. He is currently under the supervision of the BCCI medical team. "His replacement, Axar Patel was earlier named as one of the standbys in the squad and will join the team in Dubai soon."
Vijay Kumar will be competing in his biggest tournament since the London Games podium as he was on Friday picked in the Indian squad for the upcoming ISSF World Championships. The National Rifle Association of India (NRAI) announced a 48-member Indian rifle and pistol squad for the tournament scheduled from October 12-25 in Cairo, Egypt. Four years after his last international tournament, the London Olympics silver medallist pistol shooter had returned to the national squad in April this year.
Hong Kong players on Friday called their visit to the Indian dressing room a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The associate nation players, in their interaction with the reporters here, were all praise for the Indian players, terming both Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma incredibly insightful. "Like Babar said it was once in a lifetime thing we don't know when we will have to play them again. Hopefully in the next Asia Cup or potentially in the World Cup depending on what happens, but it has been amazing they have been so nice. It was nice interacting with them for the first time," said pacer Ayush Shukla.
Asia Cup Group A match against Hong Kong, then a change will be a possibility in the opening combination. In India's 40-run win over Hong Kong at the Dubai International Stadium on Wednesday, Rahul was a far shadow of his fluent self. On a slow pitch and with Hong Kong bowlers operating at a slower pace, Rahul struggled to time the ball, barring two sixes, in a painstaking 39-ball 36, including 16 dot balls.
