Diego Costa s bid to feature in the FIFA World Cup will go down to the wire, according to specialist doctor Pedro Guillen.
Costa has battled a hamstring injury in recent weeks and was moved to tears after being forced off in the first 15 minutes of Atletico Madrid s 1-1 draw at Barcelona earlier this month, a game which saw Diego Simeone s side claim their first La Liga title since 1996.
The forward travelled to Serbia for specialist treatment on the injury in the build-up to Saturday s UEFA Champions League final against city rivals Real Madrid and was surprisingly declared fit to start.
History repeated, though, as Costa lasted less than 10 minutes before limping off in Lisbon, with Real ultimately going on to record a 4-1 triumph after extra time.
The 25-year-…
Christian Benteke coolly converted a penalty deep into stoppage time as Liverpool came from behind with 10 men to beat Crystal Palace 2-1 at Selhurst Park.
Palace were on course for a first Premier League triumph in 12 attempts and their fourth in succession over Liverpool when recalled midfield Joe Ledley fired in his first goal of the season in the 48th minute and James Milner left the visitors needlessly depleted when he collected a second booking after the hour.
Nevertheless, Jurgen Klopp s team retained attacking intent that was rewarded when Palace goalkeeper Alex McCarthy lost his footing while making a 72nd-minute clearance to leave Roberto Firmino to slot home his eighth Premier League goal of the season.
McCarthy, only playing because of an injury to re…
Pep Guardiola is eager to keep Ilkay Gundogan at Manchester City but admits the midfielder is not 100 per cent committed to signing a new contract.
Gundogan, who arrived from Borussia Dortmund in 2016 and was Guardiola s first signing at the club, has previously spoken about the possibility of running down a deal that expires in July 2020.
Despite not being a regular first choice at the Etihad Stadium, Gundogan – who has spent long spells in the treatment room since joining the Premier League club – is still highly valued by Guardiola, who wants to retain the Germany international s services, with negotiations ongoing.
In the first season he couldn t play because of a tough injury, six or seven months out, but always when he was able to play a lot of games h…
Stefano Pioli has praised Rafael Leao s versatility after the Portuguese scored twice in Sunday s 3-0 Serie A win over Spezia at San Siro.
Milan struggled in the first half against the newly-promoted side but a double from Leao either side of a fine Theo Hernandez goal ensured the Rossoneri made it three wins from three to start the new domestic campaign.
Pioli previously said he expected Leao to explode this season after the 21-year-old scored six goals from 12 league starts in his maiden Milan campaign in 2019-20.
Leao started as a wide forward against Spezia but can also play as a central striker; versatility that Pioli hopes to utilise throughout the season.
The first of the season!

Universidad de Chile coach Jorge Sampaoli says he is not daunted by Thursday s first leg of the Copa Sudamericana final away to LDU Quito.
Sampaoli s Universidad side are yet to lose so far in the competition, but must travel to the Ecuadorian capital for the first leg of the final.
They will be up against a team who have proved almost unbeatable at home in the past four years.
LDU s impressive form in front of their own fans has helped them lift four continental titles in the past four years, beginning with the Copa Libertadores in 2008.
Speaking before the opening match, Sampaoli was adamant that he would not be intimidated by the away leg, and would treat it like any other game.
It suits us to win, he said.
The best way to do this i…
Brazil striker Robinho has rejoined boyhood club Santos for a third spell, arriving on a season-long loan from Italian Serie A side Milan.
The 30-year-old has long been linked with a move away from Milan after failing to make an impression at San Siro in recent seasons.
Orlando City who are to become an MLS franchise in 2015 were said to have been in contention for his signature.
Yet Santos have ultimately won the race to sign Robinho as they bid to continue their decent start to the Brazilian Serie A campaign.
The move marks the second time that Robinho has joined Santos on loan since leaving for Real Madrid in 2005. He won the Paulista title and Copa do Brasil during his previous stint at the club in 2010.
It s my home, Robinho said. It s a pla…
Burnley forward Danny Ings is ready to shun a move to Real Sociedad and sign for Liverpool at the end of the season, .
Ings flew out to Spain this month to hold discussions with the La Liga side, though now looks set to remain in the English top flight.
