Ahead of Danny Rohl’s first Old Firm derby in charge, Rangers have been handed a fresh injury concern courtesy of Derek Cornelius, according to ex-Scotland striker James McFadden.

The Gers officially have lift off under their new manager, who’s won two of the three games that he’s had in charge. Wednesday’s 1-0 victory over Hibernian was the German’s best result yet, as Danilo continued his recent form by scoring what proved to be the winning goal in the fifth minute.

It was an evening to savour for the goalscorer, but also for Jack Butland. The shot-stopper summed up Rangers’ recent change in fortune by saving Jamie McGrath’s late penalty.

The Gers will be hoping for similar luck this weekend when they square off against Celtic in Rohl’s first Old Firm derby. With a place in the Scottish League Cup final up for grabs, it’s set to be as intense as it gets in Glasgow.

After what Rohl saw against Hibs, however, it’s a game that Rangers should be ready for. The new manager told reporters: “I must say, in the second half the tactical discipline.

“It was not always possible to press high. But we understand the game more, and understood they are a transition team and we were compact.

“What we have to improve is when we have the ball. Our own transition moments. But we need more than one part of the game.

“For me it’s about winning games and we did this.

“Today we saw a team that is running for each other to be a unit and be connected and had fighting spirit, which is fantastic to see.”

That said, the Scottish giants may be forced to go on without one of their starting defenders against Celtic following the latest concern about Cornelius’ fitness.

McFadden shares Cornelius injury concern for Rangers

Speaking on Open Goal earlier this week, former Scotland striker McFadden revealed that he’s “not sure” if Cornelius will be fit for the Celtic game after coming off with a swollen eye late on against Hibs.

It would be quite the blow for Rangers and the defender if he did miss such an important game. Since Rohl’s introduction, the 27-year-old has started every game in the Scottish Premiership and has barely put a foot wrong.

Previously described as “brilliant” by his ex-coach and current pundit Robert Earnshaw, Cornelius is quickly becoming an important player at Rangers, but they now face the prospect of playing their biggest game without him.

In his place, Rohl could turn towards young centre-back Emmanuel Fernandez, who has made just three appearances in all competitions this season. It would be quite the game to come into against Celtic, but Rangers may be left with little choice.

The best-case scenario for the Gers will, of course, be some good news for Cornelius and another start for the impressive centre-back this weekend.

Better than Danilo: Undroppable star is becoming "Rangers' best player"

Arsenal have been the best team in the Premier League this season, but defeat at Aston Villa has put a dampener on the feel-good factor, reducing their advantage at the summit to just two points following Manchester City’s win over Sunderland.

In truth, perhaps this was a step too far for Mikel Arteta’s men. The fixture schedule has been relentless, and Gabriel Magalhaes, William Saliba and Cristhian Mosquera all missed out at Villa Park due to injury.

And Villa, to their credit, are among the most in-form teams in Europe right now, claiming their seventh win in a row across all competitions against the Premier League table-toppers.

But this feels like familiar territory for the Gunners, and there were several players in particular who flattered to deceive.

Arsenal's worst performers vs Aston Villa

On many outings this season, Arsenal have repelled opponents and struck clinically to pile up the points, so balanced and secure is Arteta’s system.

But they emerged from Stamford Bridge last weekend with just a point after something of a slugfest, and the midweek win over Brentford has clearly taken something out of the Londoners, who battled tooth and nail against a well-oiled and energetic Aston Villa side but to no avail.

Up top, Mikel Merino has been an incredible moonlit success since arriving at the Emirates, with the midfield-turned-forward having scored four goals and supplied three assists when stepping up into the danger area this season. However, Unai Emery’s team marshalled him well, anonymous in the first half save for one blundered attempt to find the surging Bukayo Saka.

Viktor Gyokeres and Noni Madueke both changed Arsenal’s attacking dimensions in the second half, but neither enjoyed the most fruitful of appearances, with Gyokeres in particular struggling for service, albeit making his physicality and mobile presence known in Merino’s stead after the break.

For his part, Arteta showcased his shrewd and calculated in-game management by making a half-time change, which swiftly paid off, Leandro Trossard coming up trumps once again after Saka’s strike was deflected.

But the Spanish manager will be frustrated that one starting member failed to make the most of their opportunity, having drifted through the opening 45.

4/10 star produced his worst game for Arsenal

Arsenal have been a world-class unit this season, and they have been reinforced with some top talent this summer. Eberechi Eze is one of the arrivals, a superstar in the English game and a £67m signing from Crystal Palace. However, he wasn’t at his best against Aston Villa.

Let’s not forget, it was a matter of days ago that Arsenal informed Eze he was their Player of the Month for November, having bagged a hat-trick in the north London Derby and settled into his berth.

But, in spite of this, the England international still hasn’t struck a consistent vein of form in the final third, and his tough afternoon in the Midlands served as evidence that he needs to raise his game, having been such a fleet-footed and talismanic force for Oliver Glasner at Palace.

Against Villa, the 27-year-old flattered to deceive, with football.london even handing him a 4/10 match rating after an ineffectual and short-lived outing, hooked at the break for Trossard, who scored. In all likelihood, he failed to showcase any of his many qualities, and for that reason, probably endured his toughest game since joining.

With Martin Odegaard fit once again, Eze has been forced into a wider berth. Could it be that he is at full throttle when creating and influencing from the middle? His pace lends itself to a wide role, but then so does his athleticism and physicality work well on the flank.

Eze is a passionate player. It is telling that his only goals in the Premier League this season have come against Crystal Palace, his former club, and Spurs in the derby, with Thomas Frank coming close to signing him before Arsenal swooped down.

Eze needs to channel his creativity and incisiveness in the box. He needs to iron out the wrinkles. But first, Arteta may want to relegate him to the bench, rekindling the fire to take that step up to the level he has shown he is capable of.

Desde o primeiro dia, a prioridade tem sido avaliar a extensão dos estragos para iniciar o processo de recuperação. De acordo com o presidente da Arena do Grêmio, Mauro Araújo, logo que as águas tomaram conta da Arena, foi formado um grupo de trabalho focado na recuperação e, assim que a água baixou, as equipes já estavam prontas para entrar em ação.

– A logística de recuperação não é simples, mas já estamos trabalhando de domingo a domingo para entregar aos torcedores sua casa recuperada o mais breve possível – afirma Mauro Araújo.

O sistema de alimentação da subestação da concessionária de energia, por exemplo, é subterrâneo e com certeza foi severamente impactado por mais de 15 dias de cheias. Outro fator também importante é que a Arena está localizada em um dos bairros da capital mais afetados pela enchente, sendo um dos últimos a iniciar o processo de evasão da água. 

CONFIRA AS IMAGENS ABAIXO:

Medidas imediatas e trabalho Intenso
O Presidente da Arena informa ainda que foram instaladas torres de iluminação e geradores para garantir que as equipes possam trabalhar sem interrupções. Operadores de catering já estão acessando o estádio para limpar os bares. Além disso, minicarregadeiras foram locadas para auxiliar na remoção de detritos e na limpeza das áreas afetadas.

Segurança e inspeções rigorosas
A segurança é prioridade máxima. Técnicos de segurança do trabalho estão presentes em tempo integral para acompanhar todas as ações e garantir que as operações de limpeza e recuperação sejam realizadas de maneira segura e eficiente. Todas as áreas da Arena estão sendo inspecionadas minuciosamente para identificar e avaliar os danos.

Foco no gramado e infraestrutura
O gramado, uma das maiores preocupações dos torcedores, já está sendo avaliado pela empresa responsável, que trabalha intensamente para restaurar a qualidade do campo. No entanto, o processo é complexo e a Arena aguarda uma resposta concreta da empresa sobre os prazos de recuperação. Paralelamente, está sendo realizado um hidrojateamento em todo o sistema de canalização da Arena, uma medida essencial para a limpeza profunda, também, das infraestruturas subterrâneas.

Desafios Logísticos
A Arena do Grêmio, sendo um estádio multiuso, tem diversas operações interconectadas que precisam ser avaliadas e restauradas cuidadosamente. E é isso que está sendo feito desde o primeiro dia com muito planejamento estratégico.

Campanha “Juntos, Somos Imortais”
Em um esforço para resgatar o sentimento de pertencimento dos gremistas com sua casa, a Arena do Grêmio lança a campanha “Juntos, Somos Imortais”. Esta iniciativa visa unir a torcida e mobilizar todos para superar mais esta adversidade. Os torcedores poderão acompanhar todo o andamento da recuperação pelas redes sociais oficiais, fortalecendo ainda mais a união e solidariedade neste momento desafiador. Todas as atualizações sobre o progresso das avaliações e ações de recuperação serão divulgadas regularmente pelas redes sociais oficiais e pela Assessoria de Imprensa oficial da Arena do Grêmio.

– Com a força da nossa torcida e a solidariedade de todos, a Arena do Grêmio se erguerá novamente, mais forte e preparada para o futuro. Juntos, somos imortais – afirma o Presidente Mauro Araújo.

Arena Porto-Alegrense solidária
Assim que as águas começaram a subir, a Arena abriu suas portas para abrigar mais de 500 pessoas afetadas pelas enchentes, especialmente moradores do Bairro Humaitá. 

Recentemente o Exército solicitou para que funcionasse como uma base avançada para atendimento da região. Prontamente o pedido foi atendido. A Arena só aguarda a posição da corporação.

Tensions were high between the Red Sox and Astros at Fenway Park Saturday.

Benches and bullpens cleared after the seventh inning because Astros relief pitcher Hector Neris thought Red Sox shortstop Trevor Story was stealing signs as he stood on second base. Neris intentionally balked Story to third so he could get off second base and presumably stop looking at his grip and communicating to the plate.

Once the inning ended, Neris had some words for Red Sox third base coach Kyle Hudson as both teams headed to their respective dugouts which caused benches to clear. The skirmish deescalated from there with an umpire holding back Neris and both sides quickly moving on.

That didn't stop current NESN analyst and former Red Sox third baseman Will Middlebrooks from taking a nicely-timed shot at the Astros for their history with sign stealing.

"Imagine the Astros being mad about stealing signs," Middlebrooks said on the Boston broadcast. "But guess what? That's part of the game when you can see the grip in a glove."

The Astros were disciplined by the league for illegally using a video camera system to steal signs during games in 2017 and '18. They won the World Series in '17 and were stripped of their first- and second-round picks in '20 and '21 as part of the sanctions. The league suspended general manager Jeff Luhnow and team manager A.J. Hinch for the '20 season for failing to prevent the violations before the two were fired after the punishment was announced.

Of course, the Astros are completely turned over from that time and as another interesting wrinkle, current Red Sox manager Alex Cora was the Astros' bench coach during the '17 season. But it was certainly a fair shot from Middlebrooks because any time sign stealing comes up, you can't help but think of the Astros' scandal.

That was certainly an entertaining game, but not for the reason Chelsea would’ve been hoping for.

Enzo Maresca’s side travelled to Baku to take on Qarabağ in the Champions League, but instead of building on their derby win at the weekend, they drew 2-2.

While there were a few players who looked good on the night, such as Estevao, most of the team played seriously poorly.

In fact, some of the team, like Jorrel Hato, have almost certainly played themselves out of the team for the Premier League game against Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Hato's dire display vs Qarabağ

When Chelsea signed Hato from Ajax in the summer, there was considerable excitement from the fanbase, as the 19-year-old is regarded as one of the best young defenders in world football.

After all, before the move, he had already made over 100 appearances for the Amsterdam side and won six senior caps for the Netherlands.

However, even with this experience, he’s years away from being in his prime years, and so there was an expectation that he would make mistakes for the Blues, and unfortunately, that is what happened on Wednesday night.

For Qarabağ’s first goal, the Dutchman was outmuscled and left on the floor for the first shot and then out of the way entirely for the rebound.

Now, one mistake in a game can be down to bad luck and happen to anyone.

Unfortunately, it was the teenager who, via a handball, gave away the penalty for the hosts’ second goal just ten minutes later.

In all, it was, as one content creator put it, a “horror” showing from Hato on Wednesday and one that should see him dropped for Saturday.

Unfortunately for Maresca, other starters also played themselves out of the team.

The Cheslea star who played himself out of the team

There really are a few players you could name here, such as Hato’s defensive partner, Tosin Adarabioyo, who looked just as inexperienced at the back.

Chalkboard

Football FanCast’s Chalkboard series presents a tactical discussion from around the global game.

However, in this instance, the starter who has to be on the bench for Wolves on the weekend is Tyrique George.

The Cobham graduate was preferred to Marc Guiu and Liam Delap from the start on Wednesday night, and unfortunately, he did not repay the manager’s faith in him.

In his defence, he did not make a mistake that cost the side a goal, but he also did nothing to help them score one, which, given his position and the opposition, is just as bad.

In fact, the youngster was so anonymous that Maresca decided to hook him at halftime, and while Liam Delap didn’t set the world alight either, he was at least noticeable when the Blues had the ball.

That might sound overly harsh, but it’s an opinion shared by football.london’s Bobby Vincent, who gave the Englishman a 5/10 match rating and generously described it as ‘a fairly quiet evening’ for the striker.

Unfortunately, his statistics don’t make for pleasant reading either, as in 45 minutes of inaction, he produced a combined expected goal and assists figure of just 0.22, took a single shot which was blocked, took just 13 touches – 26 fewer than Robert Sanchez – lost the ball four times and completed just six passes.

Enzo Maresca makes January claim with Chelsea star "out for a while" through injury

The west Londoners could be without him until 2026.

Game 3 of the World Series between the Dodgers and Blue Jays was a complete marathon. In some ways, it was two games in one. The game took 18 innings to reach its finale before Freddie Freeman finally ended it all with one swing of the bat. Eighteen innings is tied for the longest World Series game in MLB history.

That was far from the only World Series record fans were treated to Monday night (or Tuesday morning).

Let's take a look at every record that was broken:

Shohei Ohtani was intentionally walked four times, the most in a single game in MLB postseason history. He also set the World Series record for the most times getting on base. Ohtani broke the record after his seventh time on base, and he ended up reaching a total of nine times. He also tied MLB's regular season record by reaching base nine times.

That's not all Ohtani achieved. He became the first player since 1906 to record four extra-base hits in a World Series game, having hit two home runs and two doubles before the Blue Jays opted out of pitching to him altogether.

The Dodgers and Blue Jays combined to strand 37 runners on base, the most ever in a postseason game. The two teams also used a total of 19 pitchers, nine for Toronto and 10 for L.A., which is the most in a playoff game in league history. Those pitchers combined to throw 609 pitches, which is—you guessed it—a World Series record.

Additionally, there were a total of 153 plate appearances across the 18-inning affair, also a record for the Fall Classic.

The game took a total of six hours and 39 minutes from start to finish, making it the second-longest World Series game in history behind Game 3 of the 2018 World Series, which spanned seven hours and 20 minutes.

Freeman's walk-off home run in the 18th inning made him the first player to ever hit multiple walk-off home runs in the World Series. He hit a walk-off grand slam in Game 1 of the 2024 World Series against the Yankees, and once again played hero for L.A. late into Game 3.

This game had a bit of everything. Clayton Kershaw made a 12th-inning relief appearance and worked his way out of a bases loaded jam. Ohtani wasn't retired at the plate a single time, though he was thrown out stealing second. Neither starting pitcher made it out of the fifth inning, and the bullpens, often considered the weakness of both teams, took the reins for more than 13 innings.

Game 3 was an instant classic, and after that gauntlet of showdown, the Blue Jays and Dodgers will try to rest up before they go again for Game 4 on Tuesday at 8:00 p.m. ET.
