Pakistan batter Usman Khan has been ruled out of the second ODI against New Zealand on Wednesday because of a hamstring injury. He sustained the injury while fielding in the opening match of the series on March 29. An MRI scan revealed that he sustained a low-grade tear, ruling him out of the Hamilton ODI.Usman made his ODI debut in the first match of the series and scored 39 off 33 balls while opening the batting. He added an 83-run partnership for the first wicket with Abdullah Shafique in Pakistan’s unsuccessful chase of 345. He has played 19 T20Is for Pakistan, having made his debut in 2024, and has batted at Nos. 3 and 4.Related

In Usman’s absence, Pakistan have Imam-ul-Haq as the other option to open the batting with Shafique. Imam returned to the ODI squad during the Champions Trophy 2025 after Fakhar Zaman was ruled out due to an oblique injury. They also have the option of pushing Babar Azam up to open – like he did at the Champions Trophy – and play an allrounder in Khushdil Shah or Faheem Ashraf. Babar scored 78 off 83 balls in the first ODI batting at No. 3.Pakistan went down by 73 runs in the opening encounter McLean Park. It was their fifth defeat in six completed ODIs in 2025.

Former Liverpool striker Michael Owen has shot down claims regarding himself and Wayne Rooney, comparing themselves during their teenage years.
Owen unrivalled at 18 years of age
Owen burst onto the scene as a 17-year-old back in 1997, scoring on his Liverpool debut at Wimbledon, before becoming a superstar for both the Reds and England.
The ex-striker’s career fell away as the years passed, mainly due to injuries, but speaking to Rio Ferdinand, he claimed that no English player has reached the level he did at that age.
“People can look at how I played at 26 and say, ‘these players are much better than him.’ Yes, I know. By then, my hamstring muscles were torn in half. I was ashamed to wear a shirt with my name on it at 26 and beyond. I was already in decline. I won the Ballon d’Or when I was already on the downturn. It was a serious decline. At 19, my muscles tore in half.
“But if we talk about the period from 7 to 19 years old, I’m not sure anyone was better than me. There were very few players like that. What Ronaldo was doing at 17, 18 – my God! I played against Thierry Henry; there was a one- or two-year gap between us, and he wasn’t doing what I was doing.
“At 17, I became the Premier League top scorer – that will never happen again! And at 18, twice. But everyone remembers only how I played at 31, 32. By then, I couldn’t do anything anymore.”
It is clearly a topic that has irked Owen, with some remembering his latter days rather than his remarkable early years, and he isn’t letting the debate go away.
Owen shoots down Rooney with new remarks
Writing on X on Friday, Owen further went on to compare himself to Rooney at 17, saying there is no debate as to who was better at that age, comparing his Liverpool exploits to that of the ex-Everton sensation.
In fairness to Owen, time hasn’t been kind to him, with so many thinking about his injuries, and the players who have potentially surpassed him since, including Rooney.
Michael Owen hit the ground running when he came into Liverpool's first team
That said, he has a genuinely valid point in saying that nobody was better at 17 or 18, in England at least, with the former Three Lions international a stunning talent – one who scored 23 goals in both 1997/98 and 1998/99, before he had even turned 20.

While Rooney went on to have a better career, and was a superior all-round footballer overall, Owen was better as a teenager, and was arguably only below Brazil legend Ronaldo at the same age.
O Botafogo teve uma frustração nos seus bastidores nesta quarta-feira (18). O Ministério Público do Trabalho (MPT) indicou a não homologação da segunda proposta de acordo entre o Alvinegro e a Comissão de Credores para o pagamento da dívida trabalhista do clube centralizada por um tribunal. Houve a sugestão de uma nova audiência para tentativa de novos termos. A informação é do “ge”.
Segundo o parecer do MPT, a única mudança em relação à primeira proposta, que havia sido recusada, foi reduzir o prazo de pagamento de 18 anos para 14. O acerto projetado era acima do máximo permitido pela lei do Regime Centralizado de Execuções, que é de 10 anos.
Segundo o parecer, clube e SAF “não apresentaram informações contábeis e financeiras que possam embasar as suas alegações de impossibilidade de cumprimento do acordo vigente no RCE”. Além disso, não houve alteração na taxa de juros a ser aplicada, que era outro ponto sensível.
A lei da SAF aplica a Taxa Selic, que atualmente está em 13,75% ao ano, como padrão para a renegociação do RCE, o que dificulta uma quitação efetiva das dívidas dentro do acordo padrão. Clube e credores fizeram a proposta da aplicação da taxa IPCA +1 %, mas, de acordo com o MPT, não indicaram se seria o valor mensal ou anual.
Houve também um questionamento na mudança de ordem de pagamento estabelecida no RCE para a utilizada no Plano Especial de Pagamento Trabalhista (PEPT). Houve a revogação, o o Ministério Público não considera ser plausível.
A proposta de acordo foi apresentada no dia 11 de julho e o Ministério não esteve presente audiência. De acordo com a alegação, a intimação foi encaminhada ao 1º grau, o que causou atraso na efetivação. A negociação nos termos do Regime Centralizado de Execuções (RCE) é uma forma de evitar um acordo por Recuperação Judicial (RJ), o que causaria um prejuízo aos credores. Pelo RCE, os credores receberão os valores de forma integral.
Manchester City have now swooped in and submitted an opening offer for a Manchester United target, amid widespread interest from rival Premier League clubs.
Man City looking to get one over on their bitter rivals
There has undeniably been a power shift in Manchester since the retirement of Sir Alex Ferguson, with City breaking the record by winning three Premier League titles on the spin, and the gap between the two clubs was on show earlier this month.
Pep Guardiola’s side ran out emphatic 3-0 winners against Man United at the Etihad Stadium, with Erling Haaland bagging a brace after Phil Foden opened the scoring.
Not only have City often gotten the better of their rivals on the pitch in recent times, but they have also become a more attractive destination for new signings, with Gianluigi Donnarumma opting for a move to the Etihad, despite interest from Ruben Amorim’s side.
Earlier this week, it was also revealed the Blues have moved into pole position in the race for another key Man United target, Eintracht Frankfurt’s Nathaniel Brown, and they are now looking to beat their rivals to the signature of an up-and-coming prospect.
That is according to a report from Edinburgh News, which states Man City have now made an offer for Hearts midfielder Keir McMeekin, who has been attracting plenty of interest from Premier League clubs.
United, Brighton & Hove Albion and Liverpool have also expressed interest in signing the 15-year-old, who is currently weighing up his options, having travelled for talks with City and two other unnamed Premier League sides.
Hearts are eager to keep hold of the highly-rated youngster, having tabled an attractive contract offer of their own, but it remains to be seen whether he is willing to commit his future to the Scottish Premiership side.
"Creative" McMeekin is one for the future
Evidently, the Scottish youngster is still in the infancy of his career, but he is clearly held in high regard at club and international level, having already made his debut for the Scotland U17 side.
Journalist Joel Sked also rates the teenager very highly, describing him as a “creative” player, and “one of the most promising talents in the Hearts academy”, which explains the interest from a whole host of Premier League clubs.
Man City struck gold on "wonderful" talent worth more than Doku & Reijnders
Manchester City are reaping the rewards of Pep Guardiola’s faith in one rising star at the Etihad.
ByRobbie Walls Sep 21, 2025
At just 15, McMeekin is one for the future, but Man City should be well-placed to win the race for his signature, given that they are clearly still levels above their major rivals, as evidenced by the 3-0 victory earlier this month.
The Hearts ace may be some way off first-team level, but Guardiola is also keen on bringing in a central midfielder capable of making an instant impact, having identified Bayern Munich’s Aleksandar Pavlovic as a replacement for Rodri.
PBKS will play their next three matches at their second home Dharamsala as the race for the playoffs heats up
Sruthi Ravindranath03-May-20252:04
Jaffer: Shreyas is currently India’s best six-hitter
Big PictureFifty-plus games in, two teams have already been knocked out of IPL 2025 and one team is on the brink of elimination. Punjab Kings (PBKS) and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), currently at fourth and sixth, are very much in contention for the playoffs and will aim to boost their chances on Sunday.A sweaty Shreyas Iyer turned up for the post-match presentation in hot-and-humid Chennai after the win against Chennai Super Kings in the previous game, but as the action heads to Dharamsala, PBKS’ second home ground, there’s hope for some respite from the heat. It is the venue where PBKS also had their pre-season camp, with head coach Ricky Ponting then highlighting the importance of getting a “feel of the ground” early. PBKS will play their next three games in Dharamsala and winning all three could seal a two-top finish for PBKS.Their Indian core – specifically the top three comprising Prabhsimran Singh, Priyansh Arya and Shreyas – has done the heavy lifting, exposing the gaping hole in the middle order, which has the second-worst strike-rate among all ten teams this season. They’ve also had a No. 4 roulette this season, using as many as five players in that position in ten games.LSG also have a similar problem. They’re top heavy, but the only difference is that they’ve been too dependent on their overseas batters. Mitchell Marsh, Aiden Markram and Nicholas Pooran have scored a combined 62.79% of their total runs this season. After walking in as low as No. 7 in the match against Delhi Capitals, captain Rishabh Pant pushed himself back up to No. 4 but he continues to struggle for form.For LSG, the situation isn’t dire yet, but a loss would push them behind in the race, considering there’s a four-point gap between the top-three and them already. They’ve lost three of their last four games, which has coincided with Pooran’s dip in form. They will be coming into this game feeling refreshed after a six-day break, with a few players heading to Dharamsala early, hoping for a turnaround.Form GuidePunjab Kings WLWWL (last five completed matches, most recent first) Lucknow Super Giants LLWLWThe big questionAfter the win in Chennai, Ponting suggested that PBKS might tweak their combination depending on the conditions in Dharamsala. If there’s swing and seam movement on offer, they might be tempted to recall Xavier Bartlett.In the spotlight: Yuzvendra Chahal and Nicholas PooranIt’s been an IPL of two halves for Yuzvendra Chahal. After taking just two wickets in his first five matches at an economy rate of 11.1, he’s turned it around in style, picking up 11 wickets in the last four at an economy rate of 7.6. In the last match, he was kept away after bowling two overs in the first ten overs against CSK’s left-handers-heavy line-up, and was brought back to bowl the 19th over. He picked four wickets, including a hat-trick, and quashed CSK’s hopes of a 200-plus total. He will be key against the LSG line-up: he’s dismissed Pooran twice in seven innings and Pant thrice in 13 innings, with both striking at less than 145 against him.After an explosive start to the season where he made four fifties in six games, Nicholas Pooran has had average outings in his last four games. He’s been dominant against spin all season, striking at 264, while his team-mates have struggled, scoring at a combined strike-rate of just 127. He’s been dismissed by fast bowlers in his last four games, thrice by deliveries that have been angled in and once by Mitchell Starc’s slower short ball. LSG’s playoff hopes hinge on Pooran, whose form has been crucial in almost all of LSG’s wins this season.Marcus Stoinis has a chat with Xavier Bartlett during a training session•PTI
Team News and probable XIIsWith Glenn Maxwell out of rest of IPL 2025 with injury, PBKS played with just three overseas players in Marco Jansen, Azmat Omarzai and Josh Inglis against CSK, bringing the uncapped Suryansh Shedge into their team and leaving Marcus Stoinis out. Shedge was taken for 40 runs in his three overs and was out for 1 off 3 in the chase. If the conditions are conductive to swing, PBKS might recall Bartlett, who is a new-ball specialist.PBKS (probable XII): 1 Priyansh Arya, 2 Prabhsimran Singh, 3 Shreyas Iyer (capt), 4 Nehal Wadhera, 5 Shashank Singh, 6 Josh Inglis (wk), 7 Marco Jansen, 8 Suryansh Shedge, 9 Azmatullah Omarzai, 10 Harpreet Brar/Xavier Bartlett, 11 Yuzvendra Chahal, 12 Arshdeep SinghFast bowler Mayank Yadav returned to the LSG line-up against Mumbai Indians after a long injury break, with Shardul Thakur making way. He returned a slower bowler, bowling eight slower deliveries at Wankhede Stadium, the most he’s bowled in a single T20 match and finished with figures of 2 for 40. While LSG mentor Zaheer Khan indicated the team will keep his workload in mind, the long break after the last game will work well for Mayank.LSG (probable XII): 1 Aiden Markram, 2 Mitchell Marsh, 3 Nicholas Pooran, 4 Rishabh Pant (capt & wk), 5 Ayush Badoni, 6 David Miller 7 Abdul Samad, 8 Mayank Yadav, 9 Ravi Bishnoi, 10 Digvesh Rathi, 11 Avesh Khan, 12 Prince YadavStats that matterArshdeep Singh could be key against LSG’s openers: he has dismissed Aiden Markram four times in 13 meetings and has got Marsh out twice in four meetings.PBKS have lost all four matches they’ve played in Dharamsala since 2023.While Arya has been a force while batting first (299 runs at an average of 49.8 and strike rate of 214), he’s not been able to get going in chases, making just 47 runs in four games at 11.8 average.Irrespective of his inconsistent form, Shreyas will be happy to return to Dharamsala, a venue where he scored 73* and 74* in his last two games in 2022.Pitch and conditionsThe average first-innings score in Dharamsala in the last four IPL games since 2023 is 201. Teams have opted to bowl first in all four games and only once have gone on to win the match. While light showers are expected during the day, the temperature in the evening is forecast to be around 16 degrees Celsius.
حلل جوردان هندرسون، نجم نادي برينتفورد تراجع مستوى ناديه السابق ليفربول، موضحًا أن الريدز سوف يعود إلى الطريق الصحيح خلال الفترة المقبلة وليس لديه نقاط ضعف.
ليفربول واصل نتائجه السيئة خلال الفترة الأخيرة من هذا الموسم وخسر ضد برينتفورد بثلاثة أهداف مقابل هدفين، بالدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز، ليتراجع الريدز إلى المركز السادس في ترتيب المسابقة المحلية.
ودعم ليفربول صفوفه خلال فترة الميركاتو الصيفي الأخير بضم العديد من اللاعبين المميزين، أمثال ألكسندر إيزاك، وهوجو إيكتيكي، وميلوس كيركيز، وفلوريان فيرتز، وجيريمي فريمبونج.
لكن على الرغم من كل هذه الصفقات لم يتمكن ليفربول من اللعب بشكل جيد وتعرض الفريق للكثير من الانتقادات.
وقال هندرسون في تصريحات نقلتها شبكة “ليفربول إيكو”: “ليفربول فريق عالمي يضم لاعبين من الطراز العالمي، عندما تنظر إلى جميع أنحاء الملعب تجد أن الأداء ضعيف، جميعهم لاعبون مميزون وليس لديهم نقطة ضعف”.

وأضاف: “نعم، أعلم أن نتائجهم مؤخرًا لم تكن جيدة ولكن بالنسبة لي، ما زالوا لاعبين من الطراز الرفيع وفريقًا قويًا، وهي مسألة وقت فقط قبل أن يعودوا إلى إلطريق الصحيح ويبدأون اللعب بقوة”.
وأوضح: ”أعتقد أن هناك العديد من الأسباب التي حالت دون وصولهم إلى قمة مستواهم منذ العام الماضي، لكنهم ما زالوا فريقًا عالميًا، وأينما نظرت إلى الملعب، ستجد لاعبين مميزين لذا ستكون الأمور دائمًا صعبة”.
وأردف: “لكن لاعبي برينتفورد بذلوا جهدًا كبيرًا وتماسكوا معًا، وتسببوا في بعض المشاكل في الهجمات المرتدة”.
وتابع: “أعتقد أننا تماسكنا من البداية إلى النهاية، كنا نعلم أن الأمر سيكون صعبًا في بعض الأحيان وطريقة دفاعنا معًا، وطريقة احتفاظنا بالكرة ومحاولة تمريرها للأمام بدلًا من مجرد ركلها للأمام في بعض الأحيان، كانت محاولة لعب الكرة الطويلة في الخلف إلى لاعب يركض نحوها، كما فعل ميكيل دامسجارد لكيفن شايد في الهدف الثاني”.
وواصل: “كان إيجور تياجو يشكل تهديدًا لليفربول طوال المباراة وكان كذلك طوال الموسم لأكون منصفًا، لدينا العديد من اللاعبين الجيدين في الهجمات المرتدة مع الثلاثي الهجومي، لدينا لاعبين مثل دامسجارد ويارموليك ولاعبي قلب دفاع قادرين على استلام التمريرات”.
واختتم هندرسون: “بشكل عام أعتقد أنه كان أداءً جيدًا للغاية، وكنا نستحق الفوز في النهاية”.
O novo alvo América-MG é Pablo Vegetti, atacante que joga no Belgrano, da Argentina. A informação foi primeiro divulgada pela rádio argentina “Sucesos”, da cidade de Córdoba.

Segundo a rádio, o clube mineiro busca fazer uma proposta de dois anos pelo atacante de 34 anos, que tem vínculo até 2024 com o Belgranos.
Veggeti já passou por times como Gmnasia La Plata e Cólon. O argentino marcou 13 gols e fez uma assistência na última temporada e foi artilheiro do Campeonato Argentino, junto a Michael Santos, do Talleres.
Na última quarta-feira (27), o América-MG anunciou outros dois reforços para a temporada. O volante urugaio Javier Méndez, que assinou contrato até o fim de 2024, e o zagueiro argentino Esteban Burgos, que fechou com o clube até o fim da temporada.
The Sir Jim Ratcliffe and INEOS era at Manchester United has been a rollercoaster of emotions to date.
The old regime were hardly ideal but trophies were a regular occurrence and under the new ownership, it has not been smooth sailing whatsoever.
Erik ten Hag has gone but perhaps they might have been better off sticking by the Dutchman. After all, Ruben Amorim’s tenure at Old Trafford has been dire and that’s putting it politely in all honesty.
While United returned to winning ways on Saturday, defeating high-flying Sunderland 2-0, the Portuguese has not showcased the immense managerial potential that he did at Sporting CP in Lisbon.
Indeed, after 33 games, only five managers in Premier League history had achieved fewer points. This is Manchester United, not a relegation-threatened team; things need to improve.
Yet, there has been some good to come from the Amorim and Ratcliffe era. They’ve flushed out some bad eggs, put together a backroom team that looks far more organised and gone back to the days of Sir Alex Ferguson in recruiting Premier League-ready talents. Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo are a testament to that.
They’ve also done well to keep the current poster boy of the Carrington Academy at the club, JJ Gabriel.
How Manchester United convinced JJ Gabriel to stay
The Man United academy has been a sacred place for some time now. It might not be Barcelona’s La Masia but the Class of 92 is known the world over.
Remarkably, United have had someone from their academy in every first-team matchday squad since 1937, but that record is now in danger.
Amorim’s treatment of Kobbie Mainoo nearly saw him leave and he was the only outright Carrington graduate in the squad for the win over Sunderland. Ayden Heaven was on the bench but he is technically a graduate of Arsenal’s Hale End instead.
While it might be a few more years before we see 15-year-old JJ Gabriel making waves at first-team level, he certainly looks like the next big thing to come out of the club’s academy.
Hailed as “one of the most exciting talents in the world” by the Manchester Evening News’ Steven Railston, the teenager has been catching the eye for some time now and is already playing several years above his age group.
Perhaps the most sparkly jewel at Carrington right now, he has already found the net on seven occasions in six U18 Premier League matches this term. Yeah, he’s pretty special.
In The Pipeline
Football FanCast’s In the Pipeline series aims to uncover the very best youth players in world football.
As the MEN outline, some academy followers believe ‘he could be the best talent United’s academy has ever seen’ but there was a threat of him leaving.
Already sponsored by Nike and boasting over 200,000 followers on Instagram, Gabriel is all the hype at the moment and has subsequently attracted plenty of interest.
He was close to leaving in the summer, with talks reportedly at an advanced stage with one top European club. However, a meeting was held at Carrington in which Director of Football, Jason Wilcox, and CEO, Omar Barrada, were both present.
They told Gabriel that he could become the face of the club, a verdict that led to the youngster deciding to stay in the north west.
So, he’s got the backing of Wilcox and Barrada already but is there currently a bigger talent in the academy ranks? Quite possibly.
JJ Gabriel's biggest rival at Carrington
While Gabriel looks like one of the finest talents on the youth circuit at the moment, there is a lot of hard work to be undertaken before he gets his opportunity.
He will also need to find a way past not just Benjamin Sesko in the forthcoming years but another academy sensation by the name of Chido Obi Martin.
Obi Martin arrived from Arsenal this time last year and considering his record at youth level, it was a move that caused a bit of a stir.
After all, before Max Dowman came on the scene, he was arguably the finest talent at Hale End. He scored 32 goals in 21 official games for Arsenal’s U18s and once bagged ten goals in a 14-3 win over Liverpool U16s. It’s safe to say he knows where the net is.
Sadly for the Gunners, he didn’t see a pathway to the first-team and moved to United, where to his credit, he did receive game time last term, featuring eight times for thesenior side without scoring.
Yet, in 2025/26, Amorim hasn’t selected him in a senior matchday squad once. That’s despite scoring three goals in six Premier League 2 matches.
Chido Obi’s development may have slowed slightly throughout 2025 but this is still one of the finest strikers we’ve ever seen at youth level in this country.
In the words of scout Jacek Kulig, he’s a “goalscoring machine”. No player has scored at a quicker rate in U18 Premier League history (37 goals in 24 games) and only one player, Southampton’s Nicholas Oyekunle has scored more (38) at that level in the competition’s history.
There is a huge difference between youth and senior football. Many players have soared up through the academy and then failed to make the grade. For Obi, that will be the concern, but the fact he was playing games for United’s first team last season at the age of 17 speaks volumes.
Gabriel is attracting all of the attention right now but don’t forget about Obi Martin; he’s even more prolific than his teenage counterpart. Amorim must find space in his squad to unleash him this season.
