Adama Traore could leave Wolves and still isn’t the finished article as a footballer, according to Express & Star journalist Luke Hatfield.

The Lowdown: Traore still hit-and-miss

The 25-year-old is arguably one of the Premier League’s most entertaining players, given his remarkable pace and ability to dribble past players.

A lack of end product has always been Traore’s downfall, however, and despite some good performances this season, he is still yet to register a single goal or assist.

The Latest: Hatfield makes key claim

The Spaniard’s future at Wolves is up in the air, with a new contract not yet signed, and speaking to Give Me Sport, Hatfield suggested that he wouldn’t be a great loss now:

“It’s a lot of money to get for a player whose future isn’t guaranteed at the club.

“He is not the youngest player in the world anymore – it’s not like he’s 22 years of age.

“He’s pushed on from there now in terms of years on the pitch and we’re yet to see that end product really reveal itself on a consistent basis.”

The Verdict: Time to earn big money for him?

There is always hope that Traore will suddenly go up a gear and find consistency in the final third – Tim Sherwood has described him as ‘fantastic’ – but as each year passes, the more unlikely it feels.

As Hatfield alludes to, the wide man is 25 now and should be in and around his peak years, but he arguably remains as raw as he has ever been.

For this reason, if a huge bid comes in for Traore, Wolves should accept it, using the money elsewhere and moving on without him.

West Indies’ captain, Chris Gayle, was left lamenting a “disaster” for his team, as England rolled them over inside three days in the first Test at Lord’s

Andrew Miller at Lord's08-May-2009

West Indies’ captain, Chris Gayle, was left lamenting a “disaster” for his team, as England rolled them over inside three days in the first Test at Lord’s, to secure a ten-wicket victory that leaves them favourites to reclaim the Wisden Trophy just two months after it was lost in an attritional series in the Caribbean.Aside from a 143-run stand on the final afternoon between Brendan Nash and Denesh Ramdin, West Indies showed barely any of the fight and character that that secured their 1-0 victory in the previous series. They dropped six catches in a crucial final session of the first day, then succumbed to some dramatic batting collapses in both innings as the unfamiliar May conditions wrecked their resolve.”Obviously, we are very disappointed in the manner we lost the game in three days,” said Gayle. “We have to give credit to England because I thought they played some good cricket, and held on to their chances. But that last session on the first day put us on the back foot, and then we couldn’t actually get out of the slump. We have ourselves to blame for that.”Aside from a battling 81 for Nash, the only positive for West Indies was the form of Fidel Edwards, who claimed 6 for 92 in a hostile first-innings onslaught. He was, however, the victim of three clear-cut dropped catches, and Gayle admitted that the fielders had let him down. “”Fidel bowled brilliantly and could easily have set the game up for us,” he said. “But the chances were put down.”Gayle attracted controversy in the build-up to the match by arriving in the country only 48 hours before the start. It meant he did not have time to acclimatise himself properly ahead of the earliest start in English Test history, and he admitted that the conditions had not been easy for his team to negotiate.”We’ve never been in England so early before, so we’re up against it,” he said. “It would be nice to tour later in the year, with a lot more sunshine because it does make a difference. A lot of the time when I was batting out there with the wind hitting the eyes, there was a lot of water in the eyes as well.”It does make a difference in alien conditions. The ball doing a bit more, and it’s a disadvantage we have to cope with. We just have to tough it out, bear with it and get the job done as much as possible.”The final scoreline was identical to the ten-wicket defeat that England Lions inflicted on the West Indians at Derby last week, and Gayle admitted that the same old mistakes had been repeated. “The last couple of weeks we have had some hiccups with the batting, and in this Test match it kind of crumbled again,” he said.”We lost the plot. We didn’t get off to the start we wanted and after that it was a disaster for us, although Ramdin and Nash and Devon Smith chipped in to take out the disgrace by showing some fight.”

A notícia de que Dedé ficara parado por tempo indeterminado levou o companheiro de zaga Leo se solidarizar com a dor do amigo. O cruzeirense contou que teve uma conversa de incentivo com o camisa 26. Em entrevista coletiva nesta quarta-feira, ele destacou a falta que Dedé faz ao elenco e se colocou à disposição para ajudar:

– O jogador se abate. É natural. Às vezes, o jogador planeja uma coisa, planeja voltar a fazer atividades, a fazer o que mais gosta, e aí é meio que impossibilitado por uma situação que não depende dele. Essa questão do Dedé a gente conversou, a gente pôde trocar uma ideia para espairecer e aliviar, até mesmo falar de algumas coisas que ele está sentindo. A gente conversou seriamente assim. Disse que podemos ajudar de todas as maneiras – comentou Leo.

-É um período em que tem de ter paciência e tranquilidade. Mas com certeza ele superará isso, com certeza ele vai sair dessa. É um grande cara, um grande jogador, uma grande pessoa também. A gente torce muito para que ele reverta esse quadro e saia dessa situação. Que ele melhore rápido para nos ajudar bastante. É um jogador muito… a gente até se emociona, porque a conversa que tive com ele foi muito legal… é um jogador de muita qualidade que fará muita falta, pois agrega muito à nossa equipe – completou o zagueiro, que foi campeão brasileiro em 2013 e 2014 atuando ao lado de Dedé.

Drama de Dedé

O drama de Dedé começou no final de 2014, em uma empate por 3 a 3 com o Santos, na Vila Belmiro, pela semifinal da Copa do Brasil. Ele retornou em janeiro de 2016, fez apenas seis jogos e sofreu uma fratura na patela do joelho direito, ficando sem atuar um ano e 22 dias. Ele voltou aos campos em março de 2017, fez sete jogos e sofreu um edema ósseo no outro joelho esquerdo, que não evolui.

No dia 1° deste mês, o zagueiro discutiu com torcedores na rede social, que o acusam de ‘corpo mole’.

– Só quero deixar bem claro que não estou e nem nunca fui acomodado. Infelizmente veio esta lesão em um retorno onde estava me sentindo tão bem jogando. Cada dia que estava treinando eu achava que nunca mais teria uma lesão, mas infelizmente tive e está sendo muito difícil para mim. Estou tentando voltar – publicou o defensor do Cruzeiro.

Celtic have been dealt a huge injury blow regarding Karamoko Dembele ahead of their upcoming Premiership fixture.

What’s the latest?

In a recent post on his Instagram account (via Daily Record), the 18-year-old winger – who has been sidelined since Celtic’s pre-season tour of Wales – revealed that he has suffered a setback in his recovery from injury, having to undergo surgery on an ankle fracture, which will keep him out of action until at least the turn of the year.

Regarding his injury, the England under-18 international said: “Unfortunately I’ve had some problems with the healing process of my ankle fracture, so I’ve had to get surgery done. Back on the field soon!”

Fans will be gutted

Considering the sheer amount of potential Dembele seems to possess, the news that he looks set to remain sidelined until at least 2022 is sure to have left the Parkhead faithful gutted.

Indeed, the £225k-rated teenager had started to feature more regularly for the Bhoys towards the back end of last season, playing in three of the club’s last four fixtures of the 2020/21 Premiership season, in which the winger scored his first senior goal for the club in a 4-0 drubbing of St Johnstone.

Prior to his injury, Dembele was also heavily involved in Celtic’s pre-season fixtures, featuring in both the 2-1 win over Charlton Athletic – a game in which the 18-year-old opened the scoring for the Hoops – and the 0-0 draw with Bristol City.

However, following his recent update, it now looks as if the teenage forward will not only miss Saturday’s visit of St Johnstone but also many more fixtures before he makes his return to first team action. That will undoubtedly come as a huge blow to Ange Postecoglou, who had admitted that he was looking forward to working with the youngster upon his arrival at Celtic this summer.

Four dropped catches undid Brad Hodge’s impressive half-century and took Kings XI Punjab back into the top four of the IPL after they chased down 154 to beat the Kolkata Knight Riders by six wickets

Scorecard and ball-by-ball details
How they were out
Four dropped catches undid Brad Hodge’s impressive half-century and took Kings XI Punjab back into the top four of the IPL table after they chased down 154 to beat the Kolkata Knight Riders by six wickets. The match went to the final ball but Punjab clearly outperformed Kolkata through the chase. Mahela Jayawardene, who scored an unbeaten 41-ball 52, and Irfan Pathan held their nerve to ensure the match didn’t need the Super Over.Prime Numbers1 The number of last-ball wins by a team batting second this season30.75 Mahela Jayawardene’s average after today’s game – the highest for a Punjab player 43 The total number of ducks in the IPL till this match8 The number of bowlers used by Kolkata in today’s game 2 The number of half-centuries scored by Hodge this season. He is the only Kolkata batsmen to score a half-century in IPL 293.0 Morne van Wyk’s average – the highest by a Kolkata batsman The chase was set up by Simon Katich and Sunny Sohal’s frenetic partnership – 43 balls off 26 balls – after Punjab lost Kumar Sangakkara in the first over. Their stand, and one between Jayawardene and Katich – 33 off 25 balls – put Punjab ahead of the eight-ball even after they lost Katich and Yuvraj Singh before the end of the 15th over. Kolkata’s bowlers, like Punjab’s, conceded full tosses at the death and the final tight over from Ajit Agarkar was too little too late. Kolkata used eight bowlers and may need to review the logic of bringing in left-arm spinner Murali Kartik as the final change.Sohal was dropped twice in two balls after which he and Katich unleashed a shower of fours and sixes – top edges and mistimed shots included – as Kolkata’s bowlers struggled to keep a tight line. Chris Gayle ended his role in the tournament by making a mess of collecting a leading edge off Katich’s bat when he was on 5. Kolkata’s most productive over had been their final one where Brad Hodge and Morne van Wyk took Irfan Pathan for 21 runs; Punjab managed that in their fourth over, with Katich and Sohal hitting 22 off Ashok Dinda,.Punjab’s bowling had been equally ordinary but Kolkata’s batsmen, barring Hodge, could not hit over the top. Brendon McCullum struggled to pick the gaps and Gayle failed to build on his steady start. The run-rate did not improve significantly even after Hodge joined McCullum at the crease after Gayle’s fall.McCullum ground out his 19 runs off 31 balls before pulling a short and wide delivery off Chawla straight to Vikramjeet Malik at deep backward square-leg. His dismissal brought a spurt of energy to the innings, due mainly to Hodge. At first he rotated the strike with Sourav Ganguly and converted the loose deliveries into boundaries. He pulled Yuvraj for two consecutive fours to midwicket and then hit Abdulla over his head for a six; Ganguly opened the face of his bat to guide a four to third man and then slogged a huge six off Chawla to square leg. That seemed to energise Ganguly and he tried to attack every subsequent delivery. It didn’t work and three balls later Ganguly top-edged a sweep to Kumar Sangakkara for a 23-ball 22.After Ganguly’s dismissal, Hodge threw his bat at everything and the 21 runs off the final over would have given Kolkata the game if it hadn’t been for those dropped catches.

The MCC has clarified that Mathews’ phenomenal fielding effort at the boundary conformed to the Laws of Cricket

Cricinfo staff11-Jun-2009Angelo Mathews’ acrobatic fielding effort in Sri Lanka’s match against West Indies at Trent Bridge on Wednesday conformed to the Laws of Cricket, the MCC has said. Such “brilliant and quick-thinking” acts, it said, are good for the game and should not be deemed illegal.Mathews was stationed on the wide long-on boundary when, in the 17th over of the chase, Ramnaresh Sarwan lofted Ajantha Mendis in his direction. He caught the ball on the right side of the line but, realising the momentum had taken him backwards, flung the ball in the air before his foot landed over the boundary. Looking up, he saw that the ball would land outside the boundary, resulting in a six, and so picked himself up, jumped and smashed the ball, tennis-style, over the rope and back into play.It led to a brief hold-up in play with the two on-field umpires – Billy Bowden and Simon Taufel – consulting the third umpire Ian Gould and eventually West Indies were credited with only three runs.John Stephenson, the MCC’s assistant secretary, confirmed Mathews’ fielding was deemed legal according to Law 19.3(a)(ii).”The MCC Laws sub-committee had recently discussed fielding such as this and felt that such brilliant and quick-thinking acts should not be outlawed,” Stephenson said. “MCC is happy with the Law as it is written and occurrences such as the one yesterday, while extremely rare, are good for the game of cricket as a whole. It is also pleasing that two of the committee’s members were involved in making the correct decision on the field of play.”Law 19.3 (a) (ii) states: A boundary shall be scored and signalled by the umpire at the bowler’s end whenever, while the ball is in play, in his opinion – a fielder, with some part of his person in contact with the ball, touches the boundary or has some part of his person grounded beyond the boundary.

Leeds United winger Jack Harrison’s inconsistent form has been affected by a recent rib injury, according to reliable journalist Phil Hay.

The Lowdown: Harrison struggling for form

While deprived of several important players through injury, the Whites still couldn’t get their second Premier League win of the season on Saturday but their 1-1 draw at home to Wolves felt like a positive following Rodrigo’s last-gasp penalty.

Harrison struggled to make an impact at Elland Road, though, and he has now played seven league games this season and not registered a goal or an assist.

The Latest: Hay reveals injury news

While the winger’s form has been disappointing compared to last season, when he got eight top-flight goals and assists apiece, there could be a good reason for the drop-off.

According to The Athletic’s Hay, the 24-year-old has been playing with a rib injury which has affected his performance level. The journalist stated: “Harrison has had a rib injury recently. Very little been made of it and I don’t know how much of a factor it is but he is struggling for form.”

The Verdict: Pressure to perform

Harrison now finds himself under more pressure than ever to keep his place, with Raphinha and Dan James also representing strong wide options.

Last season, he and Raphinha were the undisputed go-to starters in those positions, but the Welshman’s arrival from Manchester United has increased the competition significantly.

All three actually played against Wolves, but Marcelo Bielsa may not always be that bold and Harrison will need to improve if he wants to keep starting regularly. Hopefully he overcomes his current injury and produces his best form again in the near future. Leeds could certainly do with it right now.

يتوقع لاعب وسط فريق مانشستر سيتي كيفين دي بروين بقاء زميله برناردو سيلفا في النادي الإنجليزي وسط اهتمام برشلونة.

ورغم المشاكل المالية في كامب نو، أشار العملاق الإسباني إلى أنهم يرغبون في التعاقد مع لاعب خط الوسط البرتغالي هذا الصيف.

أصر بيب جوارديولا على أنه يريد بقاء برناردو، رغم أنه يقول إنه لا يستطيع تقديم أي ضمانات بشأن مستقبله، مع بقاء أكثر من أسبوعين في فترة الانتقالات.

كان برناردو بديلًا في الفوز 4-0 على بورنموث، وصفق جميع جوانب الملعب الأربعة، قبل أن يكون آخر لاعب يغادر الملعب.

وقال دي بروين في تصريحات نشرتها شبكة “جول” العالمية: “هو يعلم، وأعتقد أنه محبوب للغاية، بالطريقة التي أراها، أعتقد أنه سيكون هنا، لذلك لا يوجد ما يقلقني”.

وأضاف البلجيكي: “مهما حدث فهو رائع بالنسبة لنا، وأتوقع أن يكون هنا معنا هذا العام”.
