Villa punger ut for PSG-talent

Aston Villa betaler rundt 600 millioner kroner for å hente angrepsspilleren Ibrahim Mbaye (18) fra Paris Saint-Germain.
Premier League-klubben bekrefter overgangen på eget nettsted. Ifølge BBC koster Mbaye 55 millioner euro, som tilsvarer 597 millioner kroner etter dagens kurs.
Mbaye fikk PSG-debuten allerede som 16-åring og har blant annet vunnet to Champions League-pokaler til tross for sin unge alder.
I sommer scoret han Senegals mål i VM-åpningskampen mot Frankrike (1-3), og med det ble han tidenes yngste afrikanske målscorer i et fotball-VM.

Howie Roseman: Zach Ertz one of the greatest tight ends, but love what we have

Word in early August was that tight end Zach Ertz has been cleared for all football activities after tearing his ACL last December, but the veteran remains a free agent with the start of the regular season a little over a week away. tr-sport.click

One possible path back to the field that's been bandied about has been a return to the Eagles. Ertz spent his first eight-plus seasons with the team and helped them win a Super Bowl before moving on to Arizona in a 2021 trade.

The Eagles have Dallas Goedert, Johnny Mundt, E.J. Jenkins, and second-round pick Eli Stowers on the 53-man roster with Grant Calcaterra on injured reserve. On Monday, General Manager Howie Roseman was asked about the possibility of a reunion with Ertz.

"First, I'd say what an unbelievable player, what an unbelievable person, tremendous respect for him," Roseman said, via a transcript from the team. "At the same time, love what we have going in our tight end room, too. I would say, have talked to Zach over a period of time, obviously rehabbing his ACL and the relationship, just like a lot of our former players who've been here. But like anything else, wouldn't get into any conversations about anything other than from a big picture perspective. In my opinion, one of the greatest tight ends to play the game and just tremendous respect for him, and also excited about the tight ends that we have here."

Ertz had 116 catches for 1,158 yards and 11 touchdowns in 30 games for the Commanders the last two seasons, so he remained a productive offensive piece before his injury. If Roseman decides the Eagles are a little short at tight end, he could get a chance to finish out his career where it started.

‘I had no love for myself … now I have peace’: former Ireland rugby player Ryan Caldwell’s journey back from the edge

The retired second-row on his recovery from addiction, depression and incarceration to find a new life as a meditation teacher

“Carefree,” says Ryan Caldwell when I ask him what word is tattooed across his fingers. He looks up from his hands on a rainy morning in Belfast. The former Ireland international, who played the role of enforcer for Ulster, Bath and Exeter, then laughs softly in acknowledgment of that incongruous word.

We have spoken for almost two hours about a wide range of dark and heavy subjects – from his addiction issues and imprisonment to his injury-riddled rugby career and the last big concussion that ended his playing days and sent him plunging into a deeper spiral of suicidal depression.

Alcaraz y la bendita sensación de la normalidad: “Si me dicen que vaya a ‘full’, yo voy a ir a ‘full”

Cuatro meses y medio pueden suponer mucho o poco tiempo, según se mire. Según la percepción. En el caso de Carlos Alcaraz, el murciano considera que son una franja lo suficientemente amplia como para que haya olvidado ciertas rutinas. “Ha sido como si se me hubiera olvidado cómo es un día de partido. Estaba calentando y no recordaba qué solía hacer…”, relata ante los enviados especiales después de haber resuelto con nota su reaparición (triple 6-4 a Roman Safiullin). De puertas adentro, cambia otro detalle: si en otras ocasiones suele dilatarse más a la hora de atender a los medios, por eso de devolver el cuerpo a la calma, esta vez lo hace apenas media hora después de haber tumbado al ruso en dirección a la segunda ronda.

La noche antes de su estreno, Alcaraz vio la eliminación inmediata de Novak Dkokovic, apeado en la primera ronda por el argentino Mariano Navone. Cuenta que solo pudo ver la última manga y que la salida del serbio le descolocó.

“Para ser sincero, es una gran sorpresa. Que alguien como él pierda es sorprendente, aunque esto es un Grand Slam y cada ronda es muy difícil. Hay que ganarse desde la primera bola hasta la última”, transmite a los periodistas, quienes le recuerdan que podría haberse cruzado con el serbio en las semifinales.

“Están demasiado lejos, así que pienso ronda a ronda”, enfatiza. Independientemente de lo que suceda, ya no habrá un cruce entre ambos ni tampoco otro hipotético con Arthur Fils. El francés, campeón reciente en Cincinnati, claudicó este lunes ante Stefanos Tsitsipas.

El balance entre los dos era completamente desfavorable al griego (0-5). Sin embargo, remontó: 4-6, 7-6(3), 6-1 y 6-4. El galo y Alcaraz podrían haberse topado también en las semifinales.

Por otra parte, la jornada del martes contará con la presencia de varios jugadores españoles. Entre ellos, Paula Badosa y Rafa Jódar. La catalana se enfrentará a Daria Kasatkina (hacia las 19.00, Movistar+) y el madrileño a Thanassi Kokkinakis (a continuación). Los dos intervendrán en la Pista 17.

Vuelta al pádel después de vacaciones: el error que puede hacerte rendir peor

Volver a la pista después de las vacaciones suele venir acompañado de una sensación conocida: queremos recuperar cuanto antes el nivel que teníamos antes de parar. Sin embargo, mientras intentamos volver rápidamente a los entrenamientos y partidos, muchas veces olvidamos que la alimentación también debe adaptarse al regreso. Ni hace falta hacer una dieta estricta para compensar los excesos del verano ni tiene sentido comer como si siguiéramos entrenando cinco días por semana desde el primer día.
