Liverpool centre back Joel Matip has returned to full training, handing manager Jurgen Klopp a welcome fitness boost ahead of Sunday’s Premier League visit of West Ham United. The 25-year-old Cameroonian sat out Sunday’s Bournemouth game with an ankle injury as Liverpool opened a 3-1 lead only to suffer a stunning defensive collapse and lose 4-3 away. The club’s Senegal winger Sadio Mane, who limped off midway through the second half, also trained normally with the first team squad during Liverpool’s break in Barcelona this week. Klopp took his players to Spain on a two-day bonding trip after the Bournemouth…
Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane is hoping to avoid a return to Juventus in the Champions League last 16 after the holders blew a two-goal lead to draw 2-2 against Borussia Dortmund and qualify second from group F. A double from Karim Benzema had Real well on course to leapfrog the Germans into top spot, but Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang halved Dortmund’s deficit before teeing up Marco Reus for the equaliser two minutes from time. However, that late goal could well benefit Real as they now can’t face the likes of Bayern Munich, Manchester City or Paris Saint-Germain in Monday’s draw. Instead,…
Manchester United midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan understands that competition for places kept him out of manager Jose Mourinho’s plans but is determined to show he deserves a first-team spot. The Armenian import from Borussia Dortmund started in the Community Shield season curtain-raiser against Leicester City but was dropped after a four-game Premier League run ended with a poor display in a 2-1 loss to Manchester City on September 10. “I was thinking that I would be here as a starting line-up player but… I saw that there were 25 players fighting for their place and I understood that it wasn’t going…

Marco Reus was the star of the late show at the Santiago Bernabeu, hitting the equaliser two minutes from time. A double from Karim Benzema looked to have Real well set to leapfrog the Germans and secure a home…
Liverpool are reaping the benefits of manager Jurgen Klopp’s quality coaching drills with a special focus on passing, according to midfielder Philippe Coutinho. Third-placed Liverpool are four points off Premier League leaders Chelsea and have scored 35 goals in 14 games, the most in the competition so far. “We work really hard on our passing game, because our manager likes this type of playing style,” Coutinho told Four Four Two magazine. “Something we practise a lot is playing three short passes and then switching the play with a longer pass. We often repeat that routine.” “One of the reasons we…
Harry Kane has yet to score against Manchester United in the Premier League but that could end at the sixth attempt on Sunday. Tottenham Hotspur’s England striker is not short of confidence ahead of the trip to Old Trafford, having scored twice against Swansea City in a 5-0 thrashing at White Hart Lane last weekend after agreeing a new six-year deal. Victory for fifth-placed Tottenham would send them nine points clear of Jose Mourinho’s side, who are sixth, and leave United with a yawning gap between them and a place in the Champions League next season. Tottenham beat United 3-0…

Manchester City striker Kelechi Iheanacho made a successful start to his spell as Sergio Aguero’s stand-in by earning his team a 1-1 Champions League draw with Celtic on Tuesday. Aguero’s four-game domestic ban for getting sent off in Saturday’s 3-1 loss to Chelsea means Iheanacho can look forward to a run of games in manager Pep Guardiola’s first XI. The 20-year-old Nigeria striker took his chance at the Etihad Stadium with an eighth-minute goal that cancelled out Celtic’s opener, ironically scored by 19-year-old City loanee Patrick Roberts. “There is no pressure on Kelechi Iheanacho. He just has to do his…
Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane insists the European champions aren’t prepared to settle for second place behind Borussia Dortmund in Champions League Group F despite the potential for an easier last 16 tie. Madrid need to beat the German giants at the Santiago Bernabeu on Wednesday to secure top spot and the second leg of their last 16 clash at home. However, given Real can’t face Barcelona or Atletico Madrid even if they do finish second, as clubs from the same country are kept apart, winning the group could prove more dangerous with Bayern Munich or Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City…
