According to L’Équipe, Lionel Messi returned to training on Wednesday, after he was rested over the weekend for Paris Saint-Germain’s match against Pays de Cassel in the Coupe de France.

Stade de Reims centre-back Yunis Abdelhamid (35) said that it was easy for the team to work the ball out from the back against Paris-Saint Germain as the front three of Lionel Messi (35), Kylian Mbappé (24) and Neymar (30) “don’t defend.” Reims rescued a late draw through Folarin Balogun (21), who scored with the last kick of the game as the game finished 1-1. Neymar had earlier given Les Parisiens the lead after a deflected ball fell perfectly at his feet to chip past the Reims goalkeeper.  However, PSG, who haven’t hit full flow since the return of domestic football, struggled to create high-quality chances, whilst Reims looked dangerous throughout, especially…

Montpellier have tonight announced the signing of Guinea international Issiaga Sylla, the left-back joining on a free transfer after terminating his contract with Toulouse. The 29-year-old leaves Les Violets after over a decade at the club, and his contract was due to expire at the end of the season. Montpellier had been in the market for a defender today in the wake of Théo Sainte-Luce’s injury and Nicolas Cozza’s departure for Wolfsburg. Moroccan international Yahia Attiyat-Allah had initially looked to be their man, before a last-minute demand from the Wydad Casablanca president scuppered the deal. They nevertheless remained in the market for an experienced defender to bolster their options for…

Speaking to the media in the wake of Marseille’s home defeat to Nice last night, Mattéo Guendouzi reflected on a match he believes his team deserved at least a draw from, all the while looking ahead to OM’s reception of Paris Saint-Germain in this week’s cup action. The midfielder explains that Les Aiglons were “more clinical” in converting their chances in the 3-1 victory, which ended his side’s unbeaten run in the league since October. “We’ll keep going and work hard to be ready on Wednesday.” The former Arsenal man also denied that the prospect of Wednesday’s Classique clash was at the back of his and his teammates’ minds during…

Erik ten Hag thinks Pep Guardiola’s claim that “finally Man Utd are coming back” is a bit premature after their 1-0 win over West Ham. The Red Devils have been largely on the up this season after losing their two opening games under Ten Hag to Brighton and Brentford. After their narrow win over West Ham they are now eight unbeaten in all competitions and before Sunday’s match Guardiola claimed Man Utd – who have struggled to get close to winning a title since Sir Alex Ferguson left in 2013 – are “coming back”. Speaking on Friday, the Man City boss said: “I have the feeling United are coming back,…

Click:赴日招聘 Brighton defender Adam Webster has reportedly been included in Gareth Southgate’s 55-man World Cup squad, joining teammates Danny Welbeck and Lewis Dunk. Webster joined the Seagulls from Bristol City for £20million in 2019. He has been one of the most consistent Premier League defenders since moving to the south coast.

The latter has five caps for England under-21s, whereas Dunk has one senior appearance, which came against the USA in a friendly four…

Man Utd will have to play in the Europa League knockout round play-offs after Real Sociedad edged them out by a single goal to secure top spot in Group E. Both sides were already assured of progress from Group E ahead of the San Sebastian showdown, but September’s shock Old Trafford defeat to the LaLiga side meant United travelled to Spain in second spot. Garnacho’s superb goal got the Red Devils off to a dream start as they sought to usurp the hosts, but they struggled in the second half as Sociedad held tight for a 1-0 loss that means they top the group on goal difference. Erik ten Hag’s…

“Baron Corbin is obviously a character in the role of abusing his power and putting the good guys in bad situations and taking advantage of it. I think coming in as GM, it would be a fresh start considering I would be a good guy in many ways. Woken Matt Hardy in being the character he is, and how over the top he is, I think he would be very entertaining in a General Manager role. I could put guys in unique situations or matches. My interactions with each and every talent would be so unique. I think the funnest thing between Broken Matt Hardy and Woken Matt Hardy was…

AFTER MUNSTER’S FIRST Champions Cup campaign ended with a 33-10 defeat to Saracens last weekend, former out-half Ronan O’Gara has called for critics of the province to give Anthony Foley time to find solutions. O’Gara is a former team-mate of Foley’s and the Racing Metro Coach told 2FM’s Game On that he fully expects the 41-year old to get it right. “Everybody will have their opinion on it. What’s important to realise – and Anthony would be the first to admit it because it’s his first year coaching I think it doesn’t matter – he’s the boss of Munster and he knows them inside out. “He got criticism as a player, he gets criticism…
