Kai Havertz has pulled out of Germany s squad for their upcoming Nations League matches due to a knee injury.
The Arsenal forward played a full 90 minutes in their comeback win over Southampton in the Premier League on Saturday, netting their first goal.
He became the first player to score in seven consecutive home appearances for the Gunners in all competitions since Robin van Persie between December 2011 and March 2012 (also a run of seven).
Havertz has made a stellar start to the campaign, netting six goals in all competitions so far, also getting one assist.
However, he will not be available to face Bosnia-Herzegovina and the Netherlands due to his injury, and it is not yet clear if it will keep him sidelined for Arsenal after the international break.…
Craig Bellamy insisted that there is more to come from his Wales side as his maiden outing as their new head coach ended in a goalless draw against Turkiye.
Having seen Aaron Ramsey and Joe Rodon squander golden opportunities early on, Bellamy thought his side had netted the first goal of his tenure in the 37th minute.
Ramsey s searching ball picked out Sorba Thomas behind the Turkiye defence before lobbing the ball over Mert Gunok, only for the offside flag to be raised.
The hosts played for just under half an hour with a man advantage after Baris Alper Yilmaz was shown a second yellow card for a foul on Neco Williams.
But Wales were unable to find a breakthrough, and they have now failed to score in four consecutive international matches for the first …
FIFA has revealed a record amount was spent on transfers in 2019, with deals for Eden Hazard, Antoine Griezmann and Joao Felix topping the bill.
A report issued by world football s governing body on Wednesday revealed $7.35billion (£5.6billion) was spent by clubs in the transfer market in 2019, an increase of 5.8 per cent on the previous year.
The study also confirmed that English clubs spent the most, though the total figure of $1.52billion (£1.14billion) was a 22.1 per cent decrease from 2018.
Joao Felix s €126million transfer from Benfica to Atletico Madrid – who sold Antoine Griezmann to Barcelona for €120m – was the biggest deal of 2019, while Hazard left Chelsea for Real Madrid in a deal reportedly worth €100m.

Nicolas Anelka agreed not to perform his controversial ‘quenelle’ gesture again on this day 10 years ago.
The France forward made the sign – described as an inverted Nazi salute – after scoring the first of his two goals in West Brom’s 3-3 draw at West Ham on December 28.
France’s sports minister Valerie Fourneyron accused him of making a “disgusting anti-Semitic” gesture.
Bravo à Anelka pour sa !! Magnifique !! Et merci pour ton soutien !!! !!

West Brom responded, saying: “Nicolas was asked to explain his goal celebration by caretaker head coach Keith Downing within minutes of the game finishing at West Ham.
“Nicolas said that he performed the gesture to dedicate his goal to a …
We gather here today to mourn the fallen.
With a 34-31 upset win over Cincinnati, the New York Jets went full Thanos and wiped out nearly half the population of NFL Survivor Pools last Sunday. The Bengals were the popular selection of the entire season, with almost 46 percent of poolies making them their best survivor pool pick.
Then… SNAP!
I was among the dusted, putting an end to my seven-week streak of “safe” selections. In fact, last Sunday was a survivor pool slaughter, with my “smart” pick on the Browns going down and my “team to avoid” winning by 24 points.
But even with my survivor entries in the toilet, I’m obligated to keep this weekly piece rolling from beyond the grave…
Two of the NFL’s most storied franchises will collide in Week 1 as the San Francisco 49ers visit the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field this Sunday.
The 49ers fought the eventual Super Bowl Champion Los Angeles Rams valiantly in the 2021 NFC Championship Game, but ultimately lost 20-17. The Bears limped to a 6-11 record in quarterback Justin Fields’ rookie campaign, and head coach Matt Nagy and GM Ryan Pace answered for it with their jobs.
Can Chicago secure its first win in the Matt Eberflus-Ryan Poles era, or will San Francisco’s newly-anointed starting quarterback, Trey Lance, have his day in the sun? Find out in our free NFL picks and predictions for 49ers vs Bears on Sunday, September 11.

Milestone and Alt Overs are a great way to find big plus-money plays. With all the NFL odds available at bet365, there are a ton of spots to find the perfect matchups to cash these lucrative and profitable Overs.
In Week 11 odds, I’m supporting a conservative 25-yard total for favorable odds, banking on a rookie running back to maintain his impressive performance, and making my way to Houston to target a young wideout’s milestone.
Let’s get after it in my latest NFL picks.

Out of all the Super Bowl predictions we make here on Covers, this might be my favorite one.
I mean, where else are you going to find someone willingly ready to break down Taylor Swift odds with such tremendous passion? I mean, did you see her new album cover? Like, she can do no wrong.
Ok, now that this Tortured Poet has wrangled back the keyboard from the palms of the “World’s No. 1 Swiftie” (my wife), let’s get serious.
Taylor Swift has been a money-making machine for the NFL. She’s generated $331.1 million in brand value and she’s all anyone wants to talk about despite the Super Bowl odds suggesting this game could be one for the ages.
Join me as I forgo the standard NFL picks and Chiefs vs 49ers predictions and break down the Tay…
Week 4 saw another positive outcome, and while it wasn’t exactly a flashy home run of a week, we’re still moving the chains.
As long as there’s forward progress, no matter how incremental, I won’t complain — and I’m adopting that strategy to kick off my best Week 5 player props.
My TNF prop has us hitting the weekend running, and the rest of my best NFL picks are backing a veteran RB to continue his rebound from an ugly start to the season, along with an upstart QB shredding a bad pass defense, a “King” to continue his reign of dominance, and a prop pick for Monday Night Football.
