The head coach of Tottenham Hotspur, Ange Postecoglou gave an update on the situation of Rodrigo Bentancur after the game against Liverpool.

Rodrigo Bentancur sent a scare to those at the stadium and those watching from home. The midfielder was stretchered off during the Carabao Cup semi-final clash between Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur which was played on Wednesday, January 8, 2025.

Bentancur attempted to head the ball towards goal after a corner was swung in but moments later, he missed and landed face-first on the ground. The 27-year-old required extensive treatment and, after medics worked on the pitch for nine minutes, Bentancur was stretchered off the field and taken down the tunnel.

What did Postecoglou say about the injury to Rodrigo Bentancur?

Ange Postecoglou confirmed that there is nothing serious about the midfielder's injury.

"There's nothing too detailed (at this stage). He was conscious when he came off the field and he’s been taken to hospital for some observations so we’re hoping he’ll be okay. I don't want to speculate. It was some sort of head injury, it was bad enough for his teammates to worry about him."

Bentancur also posted an update on the situation as he sat alongside his partner Melany La Banca. The 27-year-old midfielder wrote: "All good, guys! Thank you for the messages!!! Congratulations for the victory boys!!!"

Brazil's legend, Roberto Carlos, has decided to clear the air about his recent divorce saga that has seen him spend the last few nights at the training facility of Real Madrid.

Roberto Carlos took to his official X account on Thursday, January 9, 2025, to give a brief explanation of the recent situation and also to give a clear direction on the recent situation with his wife.

"In recent days, I have become aware of false and damaging stories circulating about me and my family. While I value privacy, I feel compelled to address the baseless rumours about my living situation. These fabricated stories are entirely false and seem designated to generate clicks. I remain at a private residence, supported by members of my family. My legal team is reviewing these claims and will take appropriate action. I ask for privacy regarding personal matters and thank those who continue to support me during this time.”

Recall that a Spanish outlet Estadio Deportivo reported that Carlos had resorted to sleeping at the Valdebebas training ground, where Real Madrid usually has its training sessions. The couple who have been married for 15 years, both have two daughters, Manuela and Mariana, are reportedly locked in a legal dispute over Carlos’ £133m (€160m).

Roberto Carlos is known for his audacious free-kicks while he was playing football for both his club and country. During his time at Real Madrid, Roberto Carlos won an impressive array of silverware, including four La Liga titles and three UEFA Champions League trophies.

Former Chelsea and Brighton manager, Graham Potter has been appointed as the head coach of West Ham United following the termination of Julen Lopetegui's contract.

West Ham confirmed the contract of Graham Potter on its official website on Thursday, January 9, 2025. The 49-year-old who took his first managerial job since he left his role at Chelsea signed a two-and-a-half-year contract with the London side.

Potter shared his optimism while speaking to West Ham supporters during his first interview with the Hammers.

He said,

"I am delighted to be here. It was important to me that I waited until a job came along that I felt was right for me, and equally that I was the right fit for the club I am joining. That is the feeling I have with West Ham United. My conversations with the chairman and the board have been very positive and constructive. We share the same values of hard work and high energy to create the solid foundations that can produce success. And we are on the same wavelength in terms of what is needed in the short term and then how we want to move the club forward in the medium to long term."

Potter will begin his role in trying to help the Hammers escape relegation as he will be looking to take them away from relegation battle to safety. His first assignment will be West Ham's FA Cup third-round tie at Aston Villa on Friday before they return to Premier League action at home to Fulham on Tuesday, January 14, 2025.

Julen Lopetegui is the latest manager to get the sack letter in the Premier League following the decision of West Ham United to terminate his contract.

The Hammers confirmed in a statement on its official website on Wednesday, January 8, 2025, after a series of bad results at the club across all competitions. According to West Ham, the decision to sack Julen Lopetegui was because of the current situation of the club in the league as it does not align with their plans after the first half of the season.

The statement read as follows,

"The first half of the 2024/25 season has not aligned with the Club’s ambitions and the Club has therefore taken action in line with its objectives. The Club can confirm that Assistant Head Coach Pablo Sanz, Head of Performance Oscar Caro, Head Analyst Juan Vicente Peinado, Fitness Coach Borja De Alba and Technical Coach Edu Rubio have also left with immediate effect. The Board would like to thank Julen and his staff for their hard work during their time with the Hammers and wish them every success for the future. The process of appointing a replacement is underway."

Lopetegui succeeded David Moyes towards the end of the 2023/24 season after the Scot left at the end of his contract; the Spanish won only six league matches and has the team 14th in the table despite spending more than £130m on transfers.

Arsenal supporters were left furious following the comments made by Mikel Arteta after his team's disappointing performance against Newcastle United.

The Gunners' manager blamed the texture of the ball as one of the reasons why his team lost to the Magpies. According to Mikel Arteta, the ball used in the Carabao Cup is different from what is used in the Premier League which made it difficult for his players to make use of it effectively.

When asked about Arsenal’s missed chances they had 23 shots, but just three on target.

He said,

We also kicked a lot of balls over the bar, and it's tricky that these balls fly a lot so there’s details that we can do better. But at the end that’s gone, there’s no way back it's about the next game and that’s our world, the reality."

He continued,

"No, it's just different. It's very different to the Premier League ball and you have to adapt to that. It flies different when you touch it, the grip is very different as well so you have to adapt to that.''

The victory gives Newcastle United a chance to win a trophy since the new owners took over the club in 2022, this is also seventh consecutive victory while Arsenal will have to turn their attention to other competitions.

The world's richest man, Elon Musk is reportedly set to buy Liverpool Football Club which will be an addition to one of the assets in his possession as he looks to increase his wealth.

The news about Elon Musk's decision to buy Liverpool was confirmed by his father in an
exclusive interview with Times Radio, Errol Musk revealed that his son, worth around €394.4 billion ($424.6bn, or £340 billion), has expressed serious interest in buying the iconic Merseyside club.

What did he say about the decision of Elon Musk to buy Liverpool?

He said,

"His grandmother was born in Liverpool, and we have relatives in Liverpool, we were fortunate to know quite a few of the Beatles because they grew up with some of my family. So, we are attached to Liverpool, you know, clearly proud of the family’s roots."

Liverpool is one of the most valuable clubs globally, with a reported valuation of around €4.97 billion ($5.4bn, or £4.3bn). This should not be a problem for Elon Musk compared to his €394.4 billion which is 80 times greater than the club’s entire worth.

However, it is yet to be decided if Elon Musk will decide to buy Liverpool or decide to invest his money into other business venture.

Chelsea’s defender, Wesley Fofana has debunked the news that he will be out of action for the entity of the 2024/25 season following an injury he picked up in the game against Aston Villa in December 2024.

Chelsea's head coach, Enzo Maresca had said that Wesley Fofana would be sidelined for a month but ahead of Saturday’s draw at Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park he confirmed that the defender will be out of the season.

What did Maresca say about Wesley Fofana injury?

The Italian who had initially downplayed the extent of Fofana's injury broke the heart of most Chelsea supporters when he confirmed that the defender could be out for the rest of the season.

He said,

"We don’t know exactly. But having a test, we realised it was worst than what we thought at the beginning. It is hamstring, and unfortunately, we are going to lose him for a while.’

However, he reportedly debunked the news on his team group, which was released by L'Equippe where he confirmed that he should be out for a maximum of six weeks as compared to being ruled for the rest of this season.

He said,

I’m not out for the rest of the season, I don’t know why he [Maresca] said that. I will be back in 4-6 weeks.’

Chelsea supporters will hope that Fofana will be back from injury very soon. If the centre-back calculations is anything to go buy, the. he could make his return as early as February 14, 2025, when Chelsea travels to Brighton at the Amex Stadium.

As of Saturday morning, the Met Office has released an Amber snow and ice warning around the Merseyside area across Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning, which may affect the game.

Liverpool leads the league table ahead of Nottingham Forest while Manchester United are currently in the second half of the table after 19 games played in the league with the Reds playing a game less.

What did Ruben Amorim say about Marcus Rashford?

He said,

"Marcus is ill and is not training. I think he's going to be out. The situation is still the same, he’s like all the other players”

Rashford has been in poor form for the past two seasons after he signed a contract extension at Manchester United but has failed to replicate the same performance he showed three seasons ago when he scored 30 goals across all competitions.

Chelsea Football Club have confirmed the recalling of Aaron Anselmino from Boca Juniors after spending six months with the Argentine side since he signed for the Blues in August 2024.

The return of Aaron Anselmino was announced on the official website of Chelsea on Friday, January 3, 2025. According to reports from the Stamford Bridge club, the 19-year-old will be drafted immediately into Enzo Maresca's first team as he is expected to join them in training ahead of the game against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.

After signing a seven-year contract in August, the central defender is expected to continue his development in England. With Wesley Fofana and Berniot Badiashile out for a long period, this could be the perfect chance for him to break into the team.

Boca Juniors President, Juan Riquelme has tipped that Aaron Anselmino could be one of the best defenders in the world.

He said,

"With the growth, the head that he has and the desire to learn that he shows, he is on his way to being a great footballer. He is going to be a player for the national team. He is going to compete with the centre-backs."

However, Chelsea supporters will hope that the 19-year-old finds his feet immediately as they look to fill in the gap left by Fofana.

Alexander-Arnold got a goal and three assists, as well as contributed to a clean sheet in a month that featured matches against Manchester City, Newcastle United, Fulham, and Tottenham Hotspur.

(2) Mohamed Salah:

The Egyptian King has been key in helping Liverpool maintain their top spot in the Premier League. He scored 14 goals in six December matches, the joint-most goal involvements produced by a Premier League player in a single month, matching Luis Suarez's record from December 2013.

(3) Cole Palmer:

Cole Palmer will be looking to win the award for the third time in five attempts, after five goals and an assist in seven matches for Chelsea. The 22-year-old created 20 chances in December, which is the most of any Premier League player.

(4) Antonee Robinson

The American defender assisted four goals from defence, creating 13 chances, the second-most among Premier League defenders. He was key to helping Fulham go through seven matches without defeat in December.

(5) Morgan Gibbs-White

Gibbs-White was impressive for Nottingham Forest who ended December second in the table, the first time they've been that high since 1994. Gibbs-White was involved in five goals in the month, contributing a goal or an assist in four of his six appearances.

(6) Alexander Isak:

The Swedish international scored eight goals in total in six games which he played in December, including a hat-trick against Ipswich Town.

The other players on the list include Dean Huijsen on Bournemouth and Jacob Murphy of Newcastle United.

Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has confirmed that his club are in a relegation battle after the club lost another Premier League game to their worst run, leading to the end of the calendar year.

Manchester United lost their last home game of the year when they hosted Newcastle United at Old Trafford on Monday, December 30, 2024. According to Ruben Amorim, during his post-match, press confirms confirmed that the club is in bad form, which is also similar to the relegation battle.

He said,

"That is really clear [United are being dragged into a relegation battle] so we have to fight. It is a really difficult moment, one of the more difficult moments in the history of Manchester United and we have to address it with honesty."

Ruben Amorim also took responsibility for the club's poor form, saying he has not been able to improve them since he joined from Sporting Lisbon.

"It is also my fault. The team is not improving. It is a little bit lost in this moment and it is a bit embarrassing to be Manchester United coach and lose a lot of games. I think people are tired of excuses at this club. This club needs a shock. When you have these kind of moments, especially in the big clubs, it's really hard to turn things around, especially when you don't have a lot of time to train the basics, to cope with the difficult moments. So we have to acknowledge our position, the way you see the league, everybody can beat everybody."

Manchester United supporters will be hoping that the new year brings victory ther way when they face Liverpool on Sunday, January 4, 2025 after which they will face Arsenal in the third round of the FA Cup.
