  Chelsea’s £52m summer signing Jamie Gittens has suffered another significant hamstring injury, casting a shadow over the club’s dominant 7-0 FA Cup quarter-final victory against Port Vale. ​Chelsea manager Liam Rosenior confirmed that Jamie Gittens faces an indefinite period on the sidelines after a training ground setback.

• Achraf Hakimi shows his loyalty to PSG amid Madrid return rumours

  Moroccan international Achraf Hakimi has dampened long-standing speculation regarding a return to Real Madrid by expressing his desire for a lengthy stay at Paris Saint-Germain following his 200th appearance.

  ​Achraf Hakimi has reaffirmed his commitment to Paris Saint-Germain, ending hopes of a sentimental return to Real Madrid.

  The right-back, who was pivotal in PSG’s recent Champions League success, spoke out following a 3-1 victory over Toulouse.

  Despite Madridistas viewing him as the ideal successor to Dani Carvajal, Hakimi stated: “I hope to continue at PSG for long time and many other games!”

  ​The declaration marks a significant shift as transfer rumors surrounding the former academy graduate begin to fade.

  Hakimi has evolved into a cornerstone of the Parisian project since his 2020 departure from the Bernabeu.

  While Real Madrid recently bolstered their defense with Trent Alexander-Arnold, Hakimi remains settled in France, noting via Fabrizio Romano that he intends to remain a fixture in the lineup.

• World Cup-bound Ghana fire coach Otto Addo after 4 straight losses

  The Ghana Football Association has dismissed head coach Otto Addo just 72 days before the 2026 World Cup, following a string of four consecutive friendly defeats that culminated in a loss to Germany.  

  ​The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has taken the drastic step of terminating Otto Addo’s contract effective immediately, plunging the Black Stars into tactical uncertainty.

  The decision followed a narrow 2-1 defeat to Germany in Stuttgart on Monday, which marked the team’s fourth straight loss.

  Despite a flawless qualification run, Addo’s overall 36.4% win rate ultimately failed to convince the GFA of his readiness for the global stage.

  ​The timing of the dismissal is particularly risky, as Ghana is set to open their World Cup campaign against Panama in Toronto on June 17.

  The team recently suffered a heavy 5-1 defeat to Austria, exposing defensive vulnerabilities that Addo struggled to rectify.

  The GFA has stated that a “new tactical direction” will be announced soon, though no immediate replacement has been named for the tournament-bound squad.

  ​Ghana faces a daunting challenge in Group L alongside England, Croatia, and Panama.

  Following the opener at BMO Field, the Black Stars must travel to Boston to face a high-flying England side before a final group clash with Croatia in Philadelphia.

  With key talents like Mohammed Kudus and Iñaki Williams in the ranks, the incoming manager will have minimal time to restore confidence before the Toronto kickoff.

• Daniel Svensson denies Real Madrid transfer rumors

  Daniel Svensson has dismissed rumors of a potential summer move to Real Madrid, insisting his sole focus remains on achieving success with the Bundesliga giants.

  ​Borussia Dortmund’s Daniel Svensson has addressed recent reports linking him with a high-profile transfer to Real Madrid.

  The Swedish international, who joined the German club in February 2025, claimed he was unaware of any formal interest from the Spanish side.

  Despite the flattering nature of the links, Svensson emphasized that he remains fully committed to his current project at Signal Iduna Park.

  ​The defender reiterated his happiness in Germany and downplayed the possibility of an immediate exit during the upcoming transfer window.

  Prioritizing the remainder of the season, Svensson told Fotbollskanalen: “I haven’t heard anything about that, to be honest… It’s not something I think about. But of course, it’s fun.”

  He added that he still has much to accomplish with Dortmund.

• Jurgen Klopp promises Liverpool return after legend’s game

  Former Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp made a sentimental return to the Anfield dugout for a 2-2 charity draw against Borussia Dortmund, promising to return for next year’s LFC Foundation fundraiser.

  ​Jurgen Klopp returned to Liverpool this weekend to co-manage a legends side against his former club, Borussia Dortmund.

  In front of a record 60,582 fans, goals from Thiago and Jay Spearing saw the Reds take a halftime lead before Dortmund rallied to draw 2-2.

  The match served as a poignant tribute to the late Diogo Jota, with both teams pausing for a 20th-minute applause.

  ​The German reflected on the reunion with players from both of his former clubs, confirming his commitment as an LFC Foundation ambassador.

  Klopp stated: “I enjoyed every second. My role was definitely not to have a lot of words. I was here for the Foundation and to be part of a really special experience.”

  He celebrated his return by reviving his iconic fist-pump for the supporters.
