Newcastle United forced into a late Champions League squad change ahead of Qarabag trip
Newcastle United have registered goalkeeper John Ruddy in place of the injured Emil Krafth as they prepare to face Qarabağ without several key first-team stars. Newcastle United have omitted injured defender Emil Krafth from their Champions League knockout squad ahead of Wednesday’s play-off against Qarabağ. Krafth, sidelined with a long-term knee injury, has been replaced by veteran goalkeeper John Ruddy to provide cover for Aaron Ramsdale and Nick Pope. This tactical shift comes as Eddie Howe navigates a depleted roster featuring several high-profile absences for the trip to Azerbaijan. The Magpies are also grappling with the loss of midfield talisman Bruno Guimarães, who faces two months out with a hamstring tear. Howe confirmed the Brazilian’s recovery timeline, stating, “I don’t think there is any miracle cure for him… Probably looking at the end of the international break in March for him.” Additionally, Sven Botman and Yoane Wissa remain fitness doubts for the crucial first-leg encounter. -
2026-27 Nations League draw revealed as England, Wales discover daunting League A opponents
England have been placed in a challenging 2026-27 Nations League group alongside Spain, Croatia, and Czechia, marking Thomas Tuchel’s first major tournament cycle since extending his contract.
England’s return to the top tier of the Nations League will feature a high-stakes reunion with Spain, the team that denied them glory in the Euro 2024 final.
Following their promotion under Lee Carsley, the Three Lions were placed in League A Group 3, where they will also contend with recurring rivals Croatia and a resilient Czechia side.
This daunting draw coincides with the confirmation that Thomas Tuchel has extended his managerial deal until 2028, ensuring he will lead the squad through this competitive cycle following the 2026 World Cup.
The tournament structure also presents a difficult task for Wales, who must navigate a group containing title-holders Portugal, Norway, and Denmark.
Meanwhile, Scotland will face Switzerland and Slovenia in League B, while Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland prepare for tests against Hungary and Austria respectively.
Fixtures are scheduled to commence in late September 2026, utilizing a revised international window format.
Regarding the challenging path ahead, FA sources indicated that the schedule provides “belated revenge” opportunities as England seeks to re-establish dominance among Europe’s elite.

Alisson, Isak fitness key for Liverpool’s in predicted XI for Forest clash
Liverpool prepares for their Premier League clash against Nottingham Forest, with key players Alisson, Alexander Isak, and Jeremie Frimpong potentially returning from injury, while a predicted lineup for Arne Slot’s side is revealed.
Liverpool manager Arne Slot is preparing his squad for a return to Premier League action this Saturday as they host Sean Dyche’s Nottingham Forest side at Anfield, with the latest team news suggesting several important returns from injury.
First-choice goalkeeper Alisson, who has been sidelined for the last eight Liverpool games with a hamstring issue, is reportedly expected to return to full training on Thursday.
Slot previously indicated that the Brazilian would “for sure” be ready for the Forest match, making his immediate return to the starting spot likely.
In attack, record signing Alexander Isak is in contention for minutes after recovering from a thigh injury that kept him out for a month.
While he made a substitute appearance for the Swedish national team, he is predicted to start on the bench due to a broader lack of match fitness.
Sweden’s new national manager, Graham Potter, insisted that resting the striker for the final World Cup qualifier was “merely to avoid the risk of him picking up a yellow card that would see him suspended for the start of the play-offs in March.”
Additionally, right wing-back Jeremie Frimpong is also expected to be available after a hamstring recovery, though Slot commented that the club “don’t expect” the summer signing to be “fully fit” for the game, meaning Conor Bradley is likely to retain his starting role.
The predicted starting line-up: Alisson; Kerkez, Van Dijk, Konaté, Bradley; Mac Allister, Gravenberch, Szoboszlai; Wirtz, Ekitiké, Salah.
Long-term absentees Jayden Danns and Giovanni Leoni remain sidelined with serious knee injuries.

Italy draw Northern Ireland in World Cup play-offs
Italy will battle Northern Ireland in the World Cup play-offs, with a potential showdown against Wales or Bosnia and Herzegovina for a place at the tournament.
1. Match Summary
Hungary secured a narrow 1-0 victory over Slovenia in a tightly contested match. The game was decided by a late goal from Szoboszlai in the 79th minute. A key moment early in the game saw a Slovenia goal disallowed due to offside. Despite Slovenia's attempts to equalize, Hungary held on for the win.
2. Team Performance Analysis
Hungary dominated the statistical categories, showcasing a clear advantage in attacking intent. They significantly outshot Slovenia (16-5, with 5 on target compared to Slovenia's 1), and had a much higher number of shots inside the box (11-2). Hungary also enjoyed slightly more possession (52% vs 48%) and a higher pass accuracy (86% vs 83%).
However, Slovenia's goalkeeper made 4 crucial saves, preventing Hungary from extending their lead earlier. The higher number of fouls committed by Hungary (16 vs 5) suggests a more aggressive, and potentially frustrated, approach to disrupting Slovenia's play. The yellow card count (1-3) also reflects this. While Hungary controlled the game, Slovenia remained resilient defensively.
The lack of 'expected_goals' and 'goals_prevented' data prevents a deeper dive into the quality of chances created and defensive effectiveness. However, the shot statistics clearly indicate Hungary's greater attacking threat.
