Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain will be sidelined for the rest of Liverpool s pre-season preparations by a knee injury.

England midfielder Oxlade-Chamberlain sustained the problem in a challenge during Liverpool s training camp in Austria.

The 27-year-old has returned to the Premier League champions Melwood training base to commence his rehabilitation.

Reds boss Jurgen Klopp believes the injury is of a similar nature to the one suffered by Jordan Henderson last month, which ruled the captain out of the final four matches of their triumphant domestic campaign but did not require surgery.

Really unfortunate. An unfortunate situation as well; it was a challenge [in training], Klopp told Liverpool s official website.

It looks like it is very similar to what…

Erik ten Hag was pleased by Manchester United’s display in and out of possession as they kicked off their US pre-season tour with a win against fellow title hopefuls Arsenal.

Having beaten Leeds in Oslo and Lyon in Edinburgh, the Red Devils kicked off the main stint of 2023-24 preparations at a sold-out MetLife Stadium in New Jersey on Saturday.

Newly-appointed captain Bruno Fernandes all too easily beat Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale before Jadon Sancho struck following an error by Gabriel in a 2-0 win wrapped up by half-time.

“I think it’s very good,” United boss Ten Hag said. “The way we played, I was really pleased, how active we were in and out of possession.

Milan technical director Paolo Maldini is still confident his side can mount a challenge for the Serie A title after cutting Napoli s lead at the summit.

A last-gasp own goal from Nikola Milenkovic handed Milan a 2-1 victory against Fiorentina at San Siro on Sunday in the final game before the World Cup, reducing Napoli s advantage to eight points.

While that tally is still significant, victory against La Viola was a crucial one as a draw would have seen the deficit in double figures.

With 11 consecutive wins, dethroning an in-form Napoli side when the season resumes in January is a stern test but Maldini feels the race is far from over.

Absolutely, we believe in it. Last year in the derby we were seven points from Inter, then we won, he told DAZN.

Manchester City may have had the upper hand over Manchester United domestically in recent seasons, but they will never usurp the Red Devils as the biggest club in the world, according to Peter Schmeichel.

United won the FA Cup last season, but have struggled to replicate the dominance of the Alex Ferguson era since the legendary Scot s retirement at the end of the 2012-13 campaign.

The past three seasons have seen United finish seventh, fourth and fifth, placing below City – who last won the title in 2014 – on each occasion.

But Schmeichel, who made 398 appearances for United and enjoyed a brief spell in the blue half of Manchester, believes there is little contest when it comes to global standing.

There s no doubt, nobody can argue that Manches…

Monaco midfielder Joao Moutinho revealed he was minutes away from signing with Tottenham from Porto.

The Portugal international was set to link up with compatriot Andre Villas-Boas at White Hart Lane, a move heavily expected in August 2012.

However, Moutinho stayed at Porto – and less than a year later he joined Monaco in a deal reportedly worth €25million.

It’s true, I was a few minutes from signing for Spurs, Moutinho told UK newspapers.

Here I am at Monaco and the focus is on putting in a performance to help us through to the next stage of the Champions League.

Spurs might be slight favourites but this is a very eq…

Goncalo Ramos helped himself to a double as Paris St Germain went 11 points clear at the top of Ligue 1 after a 4-1 win over Lyon without needing to call upon Kylian Mbappe.

The France international was left sitting on the bench as Ramos struck twice after Nemanja Matic’s own goal and Lucas Beraldo’s strike, with Ernest Nuamah replying at the Parc des Princes in a dress rehearsal for next month’s Coupe de France final.

Victory strengthened the champions’ grip on the title, with Monaco, who had Eliesse Ben Seghir and Wilfried Singo sent off in stoppage time, having earlier gone second after winning 2-0 at Brest to leapfrog them.

It s over at the Parc!
