لامين يامال يوضح تأثير الصيام ومفتاح نجاح فليك.. ويتعجب من خوف جماهير برشلونة بسبب ريال مدريد

كشف لامين يامال، لاعب فريق برشلونة، تأثير الصيام في شهر رمضان على مستواه خاصة مع تواجده حاليًا في معسكر منتخب إسبانيا، خلال فترة التوقف الدولي الخاص بشهر مارس.

ويخوض منتخب إسبانيا مباراتين في دوري الأمم الأوروبية ضد نظيره منتخب هولندا، في مرحلة ربع النهائي.

ويُعد لامين يامال أول لاعب مسلم سيمارس طقوس رمضان، على رأسها الصيام، في معسكر منتخب إسبانيا الذي يتزامن مع الشهر المعظم (لمطالعة التفاصيل من هنا).

وعندما سُئل عن كيفية سير الأمور في معسكر منتخب إسبانيا خلال صيامه، قال لامين يامال في حواره مع صحيفة “سبورت” الإسبانية: “تمامًا كما هو الحال في برشلونة، إلا أنني أتدرب هناك وأعود إلى المنزل، هنا توجد أنشطة أكثر”.

وأضاف: “يجب أن أذهب للحديث إلى وسائل الإعلام وأقوم بالإعلان وغير ذلك، الأمر مختلف، ولكنني أستيقظ في الرابعة صباحًا لشرب الماء، ثم أتبع نفس روتين زملائي، باستثناء وقت تناول الطعام”.

وواصل: “أنا بخير من الناحية الجسدية، وفي لحظة بدنية وعقلية جيدة”.

وعن العودة إلى المنتخب بعد مرور عدة أشهر على آخر معسكر دولي، قال: “لدينا علاقة عائلية جدًا، الجميع يرحب بك بشكل جيد في هذا الفريق، أنا سعيد جدًا برؤية زملائي في الفريق مرة أخرى والآن حان الوقت للاستمتاع واللعب”.

وعن استبعاد مارك كاسادو بعد تعرضه لإصابة رفقة برشلونة ضد أتلتيكو مدريد، قال: “لقد تواصلت معه بعد المباراة ضد أتلتيكو، سألته كيف سيصل إلى معسكر التدريب، أخبرني أنه سيحتاج إلى إجراء فحص بالرنين المغناطيسي لأنه كان يعاني من آلام في ركبته، تمنيت له الشفاء العاجل يوم الإثنين، عندما أعود سأزوره وسنقضي معًا بعض الوقت، نأمل تعافيه قريبًا، نحن نحبه كثيرًا”.

واسترسل: “لقد كان لديه موسما لا يصدق، كان يلعب بمستوى رائع في موسمه الأول مع الفريق الأول، كان يقدم التمريرات الحاسمة، سعيد لأنه يقدم أداءً جيدًا”.

وعن كيفية قيامه بدوره كنجم لـ برشلونة ومنتخب إسبانيا، قال: “أخرج للاستمتاع ولا أفكر في هذا، أريد الاستمتاع بوقتي وقضاء وقت ممتع، ألعب كرة القدم، هو ما أفعله بشكل أفضل، لا أفكر في تلك الأشياء”.

وعما إذا كان هانز فليك ولويس دي لا فوينتي يقدمان له النصيحة في هذا الشأن وألا يفكر كثيرًا في النجومية، قال: “لقد قيل لي هذا مرات عديدة لدرجة أنها لم يعودا يكررانه بعد الآن، إنه شيء يجب أن تضعه دائمًا في الاعتبار، لن يؤذيك إلا إذا كنت تعتقد أنك الأفضل في كل شيء، عليك أن تستمتع بوقتك ولا تفكر في أي شيء آخر”.

واستكمل: “شعوري بالغضب عند الاستبدال؟ هذا يُظهر أن الجميع يريد اللعب، يغضب كل لاعب وقت التبديل، هذا طبيعي”.

وفيما يخص كونه قدوة للأطفال، قال: “عندما أرى الأطفال يرتدون قميصي، أو عندما أخرج متخفيًا وأرى الأطفال يرتدون قميصي، أشعر بسعادة شديدة، هذا ما لطالما حلمت به، أخبر أمي دائمًا بذلك، لا أعرف ما الذي أمر به، لكنني أستمتع به حقًا”.

واستأنف: “إنهم يقلدون طريقة تصفيف شعري كذلك، وأخبرني طبيب الأسنان بأن الأطفال سيضعون تقويم الأسنان لأنهم رأوني به، إنه أمر يرتبط بكرة القدم، يريد الأطفال أن يصبحوا مثل نجومهم المفضلين، أستمتع بذلك حقًا”.

وعن مواجهة منتخب هولندا يوم الخميس، بقيادة فرينكي دي يونج، قال: “لا أعرف كيف سيكون حاله، كان يعاني من ألم في المعدة، تمنيت له التوفيق وأتطلع للعب ضده، إنه لاعب رائع، نتطلع حقًا للعب ضد هولندا”.

وعن اللعب تحت قيادة المدرب هانز فليك، قال: “نشعر بكوننا أفضل، إنه أمر واضح، نحن فريق متماسك، أصبحنا أكثر تماسكًا من العام الماضي، هذا ما يحدث عادةً مع مرور الوقت عندما يجتمع اللاعبون ويقضون وقتًا معًا، نحن جميعًا سعداء لبعضنا البعض، وهذا هو مفتاح الفريق”.

وعن من سيفوز بجائزة الكرة الذهبية لهذا العام، هو أم رافينها، قال مبتسمًا: “لم نتحدث عن هذا، إذا فاز برشلونة بالألقاب المقبلة، فسوف يحصل عليها أحدنا، مهما كان، أنا سعيد جدًا من أجل رافينها، أقول له دائمًا، لقد كان تحوله مذهلاً ويخوض موسمًا رائعًا، الكرة الذهبية لا تقلقني”.

وعن مفاتيح نجاح فليك، قال: “لقد غرس فينا أن أهم شيء هو الشدة وأن نقاتل من أجل بعضنا، وأن نعطي كل شيء من أجل القميص واللاعبين والمشجعين والعائلة، يجب أن تكون لدينا دائمًا الرغبة في الفوز، إنه شخص سهل التعامل معه، يهتم بالجميع، ويشرح لك كل شيء حتى تعرف ما يجب تحسينه، نحن نقدر ذلك”.

وعما إذا كان قد سبق له أن تأخر عن اجتماع، قال: “لحسن الحظ لم يحدث ذلك، وإلا لما كنت لعبت مثلما حدث مع كوندي، إنه مدرب يعرف ما يجب عليه فعله لكسب احترام الفريق، أتعامل معه باللغة الإنجليزية، ولكنه يتحدث أحيانًا بالإسبانية”.

وعن خوف جمهور برشلونة من إمكانية مواجهة ريال مدريد في نهائي دوري أبطال أوروبا هذا الموسم، قال: “ولم لا؟ لا داعِ للخوف من أي فريق، لقد قلت بالفعل إنه في دوري أبطال أوروبا، كان ليفربول هو المرشح الأوفر حظًا لأنه احتل المركز الأول في مرحلة الدوري وكنا الثاني، أنا لا أخاف من أي فريق، نحن من يسبب الضرر الأكبر لريال مدريد والعكس صحيح”.

وعما إذا كان يرى أن برشلونة هو المرشح الأوفر حظًا للتتويج باللقب، قال: “إذا كنت تعتقد أنك لست المرشح الأوفر حظًا، فأنت بدأت تخسر بالفعل، لا تفكر في احتمالية الخسارة، بل تعتقد أنك الفريق الأفضل، الفريق الذي يلعب بأفضل أداء ولديه أفضل فرصة للفوز”.

Palmeiras x Ponte Preta: prováveis escalações, desfalques e onde assistir

Nesta quarta-feira, às 21h35, Palmeiras e Ponte Preta se enfrentam, no Allianz Parque, pela primeira rodada do Paulistão-2022. Enquanto o Verdão já jogou pela competição, a Macaca faz sua partida de estreia. Ambos os técnicos terão desfalques para o duelo. Sintomas gripais e Data Fifa são os principais motivos.

Após vencer o Novorizontino no último domingo com time completo, o Alviverde entra em campo com dois desfalques importantes: Gustavo Gómez e Weverton, que foram convocados para as Eliminatórias da Copa do Mundo. Além deles, Kuscevic está fora por conta dessa Data Fifa. Dessa forma, Murilo e Marcelo Lomba, recém-contratados, devem ganhar chance na equipe titular.

Já pelo lado da Ponte Preta a dúvida fica por conta da estreia ou não do zagueiro Dedé nesta quarta-feira. Depois de dois anos sem jogar, ele pode ser utilizado pelo técnico Gilson Kleina, que manteve o mistério. Caso decida por não promover essa volta, Léo Santos, ex-Corinthians, deve ser o zagueiro titular. Quem desfalca a Macaca mesmo é o atacante Pedro Júnior, com gripe.

Peshawar Zalmi clear the air with Kamran Akmal, confirm he is 'very much part of the side'

“We respect his feelings but once I explained to him, he understood,” says head coach Mohammad Akram

Umar Farooq15-Dec-2021

Kamran Akmal is the most-capped player in PSL history•Pakistan Super League

Peshawar Zalmi have confirmed that Kamran Akmal will “very much be a part” of the franchise, and that he will be playing for the team next season. Akmal also confirmed to ESPNcricinfo that he was on board with Zalmi and that the misunderstanding between the two parties had been cleared.On Sunday, Akmal said he felt “humiliated” after being picked up in the lowest category at the PSL draft, and refused to take part in the next edition of the PSL. Akmal had been relegated from the Diamond to the Gold category on draft day, and Zalmi made him their last pick, from the Silver category, against his wish. The back-to-back demotions didn’t go well with Akmal, who is the most-capped player in PSL history as well as the tournament’s second-highest run-scorer.”For me self-respect is foremost and it’s not about money,” Akmal told ESPNcricinfo. “Had it about the more money I could have left Zalmi long ago but they are like a family and I never imagined leaving them. It’s the process that basically was surprising and how the board disregards the senior cricketers. It’s hurtful as it’s a domestic tournament and I am not done yet. It’s the passion for the game that kept me going and the performance that matters. I am not looking at the international level as I know I don’t deserve it but at PSL I think I deserve a lot at this level. Zalmi is my pride and I will be playing for them.”Related

Kamran Akmal 'humiliated' after PSL draft

Draft picks, retained players and potential XIs: How PSL teams stack up ahead of the seventh edition

According to PSL draft rules, if any player isn’t picked up in their nominated category, he has to give a consent to be picked up in the lower category, but players often set a limit for the demotion. In Akmal’s case, he reportedly never wanted to be picked in a category lower than Gold. However, Zalmi selected him anyway in the Silver category, though they elevated his monetary value by naming him a mentor.”We have a great respect for Kamran,” Mohammad Akram, Zalmi’s head coach, told ESPNcricinfo. “Picking him in the Silver category was a part of our strategy as draft dictates who you pick at what stage. We had the right-to-match card with us and we saved it for him in case any team could have tried to pick him. So when you have a tool to protect your player you make sure that he isn’t hurt money wise.”We respect his feelings but once I explained to him, he understood. We lifted him in the silver category but at the same time we named him as mentor as well. He is a very senior cricketer and as a coach I get motivation from his passion and hunger and hard work that he still puts in like an Under-19 boy. So it’s all sorted and he is very much part of our side.”Akmal’s PSL record carries significance as he has 1820 runs from 69 games, the run tally second only to Babar Azam’s 2070 from 58 games. Akmal has scored his runs at a strike rate of 136.84 and is the only one to have scored three hundreds; Sharjeel Khan has two. A Zalmi player from the start of the competition in 2016, Akmal is also the leading wicketkeeper in the PSL with 60 dismissals to his name.Before the draft, the PCB opened up a trade and retention window allowing each franchise to retain up to eight players, and Zalmi chose not to retain Akmal, the plan being to pick him from the draft instead. Wahab Riaz, the captain of the team, was retained, while Shoaib Malik was acquired from the Diamond category. The team has also brought in Mohammad Harris as an additional wicketkeeper.

Ruud has just made 8/10 Man Utd star undroppable when Amorim arrives

Ruud Van Nistelrooy ended his interim time in charge of Manchester United by steering his reinvigorated Red Devils side to a 3-0 win in the Premier League, as Steve Cooper’s Leicester City offered very little in return to compete with the hosts at Old Trafford.

The much-loved Dutchman picked up three wins and a draw in all competitions from the dug-out, with his first victory coming against the Foxes funnily enough in the EFL Cup, before another win against the newly promoted side came his way on Sunday afternoon.

Now, it’s up to Ruben Amorim to take on the permanent reins over the stand-in 48-year-old, with the exciting Portuguese manager no doubt pleased with the performances of some standout Red Devils figures this weekend.

Best Man United performers vs Leicester

Bruno Fernandes feels like a good player to kickstart this discussion off, with the playmaker excelling under the interim reign, with Amorim hopeful he can be key under his guidance too.

The 30-year-old got the ball rolling for his side in their pursuit of another three points, after the United number eight hammered home an early first-half effort past the Foxes goalkeeper.

That was Fernandes’ fourth goal in as many games, with the constantly creative attacking midfielder finding a new lease of life under Van Nistelrooy, away from the dire end of Erik ten Hag’s bumpy reign.

Manuel Ugarte also impressed in the midfield positions, shoring up the United defence, with a stunning ten ground duels won on top of only skewing four of his 50 passes on the day.

A favourite under Amorim during his Sporting CP days, the summer recruit will pray his spot in the United starting XI is now set in stone, especially when the new manager enters into the esteemed dug-out and makes the look of the team his own.

He’s not the only undroppable figure though…

Amad's performance in numbers

Amad Diallo will also be keeping everything crossed that he has made his position down the right wing as concrete as possible, with the Ivorian standing out again for United across the span of the 3-0 win.

Used sparingly under the previous regime, Amad had managed to spark into life under Van Nistelrooy’s stint in the hot seat, with two goals coming against PAOK in the Europa League before the showdown with Leicester back in the league.

Although the 22-year-old didn’t fire home another goal against Cooper’s men, he still stood out as a lively option down the right flank, with a little flick by the former Sunderland loanee setting up Fernandes for the opening goal of the one-sided contest.

The United number 16 excelled both as a livewire – with four successful dribbles on the day twisting and turning Leicester markers for fun – but also as an option getting stuck in to win the ball back to launch attacks, with a high ten duels won across the course of his bright 90 minutes.

Amorim could now see Amad as the best possible option he has on the right flank based on his promising showings under Van Nistelrooy, with Antony really the only other player he could rely on in his threadbare part of the pitch.

Having been largely frozen out of ten Hag’s plans when it came to being selected in the top flight, Amad must be delighted with how well he has done under the stand-in boss, having also picked up a glowing 8/10 match rating by the Express’ Joe Krishnan for his efforts versus the Foxes.

But, he will hope there’s plenty more to come, as United launch headfirst into a new era under Amorim very soon.

This would be a controversial move…

أوين يكشف العقبة الأكبر أمام فوز محمد صلاح بـ الكرة الذهبية 2025

كشف مهاجم ليفربول ومنتخب إنجلترا السابق، مايكل أوين، عن وجهة نظره في إمكانية فوز محمد صلاح بجائزة الكرة الذهبية 2025.

وبحسب الكثير من الخبراء كان محمد صلاح هو المرشح الأبرز للفوز بالجائزة الفردية بنهاية العام، إلا أن خروج ليفربول من دوري أبطال أوروبا على يد باريس سان جيرمان قلص من فرصه.

وفي حديثه لشبكة “talkSPORT” البريطانية، استبعد مايكل أوين، الفائز السابق بجائزة الكرة الذهبية، إمكانية فوز محمد صلاح بالجائزة هذا العام رغم تألقه، مشيرًا إلى أن خروج ليفربول المبكر من دوري أبطال أوروبا قد يؤثر بشكل كبير على حظوظه.

وقال أوين: “السباق مفتوح تمامًا هذا العام، خاصة أنه ليس عامًا فيه كأس العالم أو اليورو، لذا سيعتمد الأمر بالكامل على الإنجازات مع الأندية، كنت سأقول محمد صلاح، لكن خروجه أمام باريس سان جيرمان حتى لو فاز ليفربول بالدوري الإنجليزي، قد يضره كثيرًا”.

وأوضح النجم الإنجليزي السابق أن الفوز بالكرة الذهبية يتطلب تحقيق جميع المعايير، قائلًا: “يجب عليك التألق على المستوى الفردي، وأن تكون جزءًا من فريق استثنائي، ويفضل أن تحقق نجاحًا دوليًا أيضًا، عندما فزت بالجائزة، فزنا بخمسة ألقاب مع ليفربول، وكان لدينا عام رائع مع منتخب إنجلترا، بما في ذلك الفوز على ألمانيا 5-1”.

وأضاف أوين في النهاية: “محمد صلاح يستحق الجائزة بلا شك، لكنه بحاجة إلى أكثر من مجرد الفوز بلقب الدوري الإنجليزي، إذا فاز ريال مدريد ببطولة دوري أبطال أوروبا، أو إذا سجل مبابي هاتريك في النهائي، فقد يكون ذلك العامل الحاسم، خاصة في عام لا يوجد فيه كأس عالم أو بطولة كأس أمم أوروبا”.

Sky Sports: Man Utd eyeing move for new £82,000-p/w left-back for Amorim

INEOS are plotting a move to sign an “electric” £82,000-a-week left-back, as Ruben Amorim has made it a priority at Manchester United, according to a Sky Sports reporter.

The Red Devils played their first game under the Portuguese boss on Sunday, and while they were held to a 1-1 draw at Ipswich Town, there were some early positives for the head coach to take, as he continues to get to know his new crop of players.

Man Utd make approach to "machine" after internal talks, could cost £40m+

The Red Devils have now made contact.

ByBrett Worthington Nov 26, 2024 Man Utd transfer news

The club’s hierarchy appear to be keen to back Amorim in the upcoming transfer windows, as long as the finances are right, but there is also a willingness for them not to rip up the entire squad. However, as every new manager or head coach wants, Amorim will have his eyes on potential players he would like to bring to Old Trafford.

One player who has emerged on their radar in recent weeks is Chelsea’s Christopher Nkunku, and United have made him a top target ahead of the January transfer window. The forward is not getting regular minutes at Stamford Bridge, and United are ready to go all out and bring him to Old Trafford in a deal that could cost them £50 million.

As well as Nkunku, Man United have now made an approach to Ederson from Atalanta. The Red Devils held internal talks over a possible deal and have now approached his agents to get an understanding of a potential transfer. Atalanta don’t want to sell but could be willing to listen to offers should they receive around £40 million. But it seems that there is a position that has become more of a priority for Amorim, as the club has identified a new target.

Man Utd eyeing move for AC Milan's Theo Hernandez

According to Sky Sports Germany reporter Florian Plettenberg, Manchester United are now closely monitoring Theo Hernandez of AC Milan, as they continue their search for a new left-wing back.

The Red Devils do have Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia as their regular left-backs, but both have been injured for a while now, and even though they both appeared in the matchday squad against Ipswich, with Shaw coming off the bench, signing a player for that position is still key for the club.

Hernandez, who has been dubbed “electric” by football analyst Ben Mattinson, has been at Milan since July 2019, when he joined from Real Madrid, and he has been a key player for the Italian side in his six seasons there, playing 30 or more games in all five campaigns before this 2024/25 season.

The 27-year-old has started eight of the 10 league games he has played so far, during which he has captained Milan on multiple occasions. Now, according to Plettenberg, he is someone United are keeping a close eye on, as Amorim has made signing a new left-back a priority.

Hernandez is under contract at Milan until the summer of 2026, so he could potentially be a cheap option, as the Italian giants may have to sell him if he is unwilling to sign a contract extension. While he may not cost as much as other players in a transfer fee, he comes with hefty wages, as he earns €98,654 a week, which is roughly £82,366 a week.

PSL 2022 blueprint: separate bio-bubbles, regular tests, dedicated hospital passages

Contingency plans include resetting bubbles from scratch if there is a Covid-19 outbreak; no window later in year if tournament stalled

Umar Farooq20-Jan-2022

Teams had warmed up in front of empty stands during a previous edition of the PSL•Associated Press

The PCB is set to host another season of the Pakistan Super League during the Covid-19 pandemic, with the first 15 games to be played in Karachi from January 27, and the remaining matches scheduled in Lahore, including the final on February 27. There are provisions in place to avoid a postponement even if a handful of players contract Covid-19 – the franchises have 20 players on their roster, with an additional pool of reserve players to provide cover in case of an outbreak.ESPNcricinfo has obtained PSL’s Covid-19 protocol document, which details how the PCB will form its bio-bubble environment. The document broadly covers health and safety protocols that are being put in place at venues, and has a step-by-step guide to every stage of the tournament.What will the PSL’s bio-secure bubble look like?
This season the PCB has replicated the biosecure bubble that was created by Restrata, an independent company that managed the environment during the rescheduled Abu Dhabi leg last season. The PCB will regulate the bubble itself, forming three distinct bubbles with different protocols.The main bubble will comprise all teams, support staff, match officials, hotel staff and certain PCB officials. Vehicle drivers, close protection security staff, reserve players, bubble-integrity managers, anti-corruption officials and hotel staff will all reside within the bubble and are not allowed to leave. As per the guidelines, each franchise will be allotted rooms on a separate floor of the hotel and maximum possible efforts will be made to avoid interaction between teams at the hotel.The second bubble will be created in a separate hotel and will include the TV production crew, key event management staff and essential hotel staff and drivers. The third bubble will comprise of groundstaff, who will be housed in dedicated biosecure accommodation.Vigilance will be more stringent for the primary bubble. The bubbles cannot interact with each other and every individual will be required to follow general health and safety guidelines, as well as specific protocols to maintain the integrity of the bubble.How often are teams going to be tested for Covid-19?
There will be as many as 17 tests starting on January 20 – the day teams are checking into the hotel. There is a mandatory three-day quarantine, followed by four days of training, before the tournament starts from January 27 in Karachi. The first three days of quarantine will have regular testing before everyone with two negative PCR results is allowed to enter the bubble. Every individual will then have a PCR test every second day.What if an individual requires hospital treatment for an injury or illness?
The PCB has designated Agha Khan Hospital in Karachi and Hameed Latif Hospital in Lahore to handle all potential medical requirements of individuals involved in the PSL.A medical passage will be established through which individuals requiring hospital visits for scans and/or consultations will be moved with minimal contact with others. Individuals will be provided a dedicated treatment room, sanitised passageways, PPE suits for all medical staff and will be taken around in a dedicated vehicle.What happens in case of a positive test?
The individual(s) will be immediately separated from the rest of the squad and undergo a PCR test.All close contacts (those who have had an interaction of longer than 15 minutes from less than two metres away in the previous 48 hours) will be isolated and tested. All casual contacts will also be isolated and tested immediately.Once the case is confirmed as positive, the individual will isolate for a minimum of seven days and self-monitor their symptoms, providing updates to the Bio-bubble integrity manager. On day seven, if the individual is asymptomatic, they will have to undergo a Rapid Antigen Test and on returning a negative result, can be re-integrated into their bubble.If symptoms persist on day seven, the isolation will continue till day 10. If the individual is asymptomatic on that day, there will be no need for an exit test to rejoin the bubble.What happens if protocols and guidelines are breached?
With every team there will be a bio-bubble integrity manager policing the bubble. The offender may face a sanction ranging from reprimand to expulsion from the league. Penalties can be levied for minor or major breaches, from game bans to match-fee fines. The PCB can require any participant to quarantine in their hotel room in case of a breach, and undergo repeated testing.How many fans will be permitted?
The PCB had originally announced full crowds for both the Karachi and Lahore legs. However, Pakistan’s National Command and Operation Centre (NCOC) determines regulations surrounding Covid-19 restrictions, and with cases rising steeply in Pakistan over the past few weeks – particularly in Karachi – the NCOC announced that the Karachi leg would see a maximum of 25% crowd attendance. Lahore, for now, is still set to see full crowds. Spectators’ entry is subject to Covid-19 protocols – no one will be allowed to enter the venue without a valid vaccination certificate.What is the PCB’s contingency plan for a Covid outbreak?
Each of the last two seasons, the PSL was played over two legs due to Covid outbreaks, but this season, the PCB has made contingency plans to try and ensure the PSL isn’t postponed or cancelled. The PSL management will instead reset the bubble and start over after seven days, recreating the bio-bubble from scratch. In case of outbreaks among franchises, matches can go ahead as long as there are 13 players available on each side. There will also be a reserve pool for franchises to pick players from. A PCB official confirmed to ESPNcricinfo that if the league were to be postponed for some reason, it would have to be cancelled altogether, since there will be no window to play the remaining games.Could the entirety of the PSL be held in one city?
It would appear unlikely at present. ESPNcricinfo understands that all bookings and hotel confirmations have been finalised in both Karachi and Lahore, and there are at present no plans to change that.

فيديو | هالاند في برشلونة بعد إصابته مع مانشستر سيتي

تعرض نجم فريق مانشستر سيتي، إيرلينج هالاند، لضربة قوية بعدما عانى من إصابة خلال مباراة الأحد الماضي ضد بورنموث، في بطولة كأس الاتحاد الإنجليزي.

وتلاقى الفريقان في خضم لقاءات ربع نهائي كأس الاتحاد الإنجليزي على ملعب “فيتاليتي”.

وحقق مانشستر سيتي فوزًا صعبًا بهدفين لهدف، حيث تأهل إلى نصف النهائي لمواجهة نوتينجهام فورست، بفضل النجم المصري عمر مرموش الذي سجل هدف فوز السكاي بلو.

ولكن تعكر صفو مانشستر سيتي بعدما عانى هالاند من إصابة على مستوى الكاحل، والتي أجبرته على الخروج في الدقيقة 61 حيث نزل مكانه مرموش، وسجل الأخير هدف الفوز بعد دقيقتين من دخوله الملعب.

وأعلن بيب جوارديولا، في تصريحاته الصحفية اليوم، أن هالاند سيضطر إلى الغياب عن الملاعب مدة قد تصل إلى شهر ونصف (لمطالعة التفاصيل من هنا).

وتوجه إيرلينج هالاند إلى مدينة برشلونة الإسبانية من أجل الخضوع لفحص طبي دقيق عند مختص.

وحسبما نشر البرنامج الإسباني الشهير “التشيرنجيتو”، فإن هالاند تواجد في برشلونة حيث زار أحد المستشفيات من أجل الخضوع للمزيد من الفحوص الطبية عند مختص، يوم الثلاثاء قبل مغادرته في وقت لاحق.

ويأمل مانشستر سيتي جاهزية هالاند قبل بطولة كأس العالم للأندية في أمريكا، في شهر يونيو المقبل.
