Dentre esses sete, dois já são desfalques no Majestoso, mas por lesão: Luan e Rigoni. Os demais podem jogar e correm risco de suspensão.
Vale ressaltar que o São Paulo tem um desfalque justamente por suspensão: o zagueiro e capitão Miranda, que não jogará contra o Corinthians pelo terceiro cartão amarelo. Arboleda deve formar a dupla de zaga com Léo.

With the Test ending in two days, and spinners taking 28 of the 30 wickets to fall, the Ahmedabad pitch has come into sharp focus
Nagraj Gollapudi25-Feb-20216:11
Rohit Sharma – ‘Intent wasn’t to survive, but to score’
Was the Ahmedabad pitch poor?Virat Kohli rates it ‘very good’; Alastair Cook calls it ‘so hard’; Sunil Gavaskar says “challenging”; Andrew Strauss says balance “too much in favour” of spinnersThe first Test at the new Narendra Modi stadium will be remembered as the shortest one ever played in India. This day-night Test, the first first-class match played at the ground since 2013, will also be remembered as the shortest completed Test globally since 1935. It had no place for the fast bowlers, who took only two of the 30 wickets to fall. The match finished 98 minutes before end of play on day two, forcing Indian captain Kohli to term it as the most “bizzare” Test he had played in his career.Related

But what about the performance of the biggest protagonist of this two-day drama: the pitch? While purists labelled it as definitely poor, Kohli called it “very good”, and, instead blamed the batsmen on both teams for coming up with an “under par” performance against good spin bowling.”[It was] a very good pitch to bat on – especially in the first innings – and it felt like the ball was coming on nicely with the odd-ball turning,” Kohli said. Axar Patel and R Ashwin hounded England for a second successive day, to help India take a pivotal 2-1 series lead in the four-Test series. The defeat eliminated England from the race for the second finalist spot in the World Test Championship, to be played in June.What confounded Kohli was the fact that nearly 21 out of the 30 wickets fell to the straighter delivery from the spinners. “It was just, I would say, below-par batting from both teams. Our bowlers were much more effective and that’s why we got the result,” he said.4:15
Match Day: Bad pitch or bad batting?
Not everyone agreed with Kohli though. Among those who differed included two former England captains – Strauss and Cook, who felt Kohli was being protective of the groundsmen. Both Strauss and Cook are experts for , the series broadcaster in the UK.According to Cook, who led England to a 2-1 series victory on the 2012-13 tour in India, the degree of turn on offer for the spinners was too much and came into play way too early. “We saw a stat that says this pitch has spun more than any other pitch in India,” Cook said. “There’s been so many other balls that have gone straight on as well. So that means when it is turning, it is turning miles. When you see the highlights and the ball skidding on you, we don’t see the build-up: when the exact same ball is spinning miles.”Cook said the pitch was the main cause behind the batsmen’s struggles. “Virat Kohli’s come out and defended the wicket almost as if it’s a BCCI thing – it cannot possibly be the wicket. Yet it was so hard to bat on that today. .
“Take the wicket out and blame the batsmen? We’ve got Virat Kohli, Joe Root, we have some great players of spin. Yes, we’ve got some people who have got to learn to play spin better, but we have got great players of spin also struggling. To me It’d be great to have that game with the red ball to see the difference when the ball is skidding on. Today trying to play properly, it was nigh-on impossible.”Strauss echoed his former opening partner’s remarks and used England captain Root as an example. “Look at Joe Root for a moment. We know he is a great player of spin,” Strauss said. “He is in great form as well. What did he get – 19 today? Might have been out two or three times en route to getting that score. And by the way, that’s day two of a Test match. To say the pitch has no fault to play, I totally agree with Cooky. Kohli’s looking after the groundsmen there to a certain degree.”A dry and dusty pitch in Ahmedabad split opinion among cricketers and experts. Was it good? Was it poor?•BCCI
Strauss felt the “balance between bat and ball on this pitch” was skewed “just too much in the favour” of the spinners. And he posed the same question for former India fast bowler Ajit Agarkar, who spoke to Channel 4 during the dinner break on Thursday.Agarkar did not disagree with Strauss and said he understood the debate surrounding the pitches including the surface for the second Test, which was played in Chennai last week. “The thing is how quickly it happened, so I’ve got to agree with you that perhaps not a second-day pitch,” Agarkar said. “Chennai (second Test) was a little bit different. It [Ahmedabad] was dry, there is no two ways about it. Whether it is a fair contest or not? I mean, look, it is a different sort of a challenge, isn’t it? Again, it is not easy. It is difficult to bat on this patch. But is it a 112 and 145 pitch? Not in my opinion.”For former India captain Gavaskar, who is a commentator for the host broadcaster in India, the Ahmedabad pitch was “challenging” but not insurmountable as Rohit Sharma, the highest scorer in the match, had shown. “It was a challenging pitch, no question about it because the odd ball was turning, the other ones were coming straight,” Gavaskar told after India’s victory. “So how to keep your mind strong about hoping the variation was the key. India showed, particularly in the second innings, and even when Rohit Sharma batted in the first innings, that they could do it. On a pitch like this not every batsman is going to be successful, but even if two are successful, and, in India’s case both times it was Rohit Sharma, who really was the difference between the two teams.”Poor pitch will not cost India WTC points In case the Ahmedabad pitch is rated poor by the ICC, it will lead to the ground being given three demerit points but India won’t be docked any points on the World Test Championship table.India are in a race for the second finalist spot in the WTC final along with Australia. In 2019 the ICC had cautioned member boards from doctoring pitches to the home team’s advantage in the WTC, saying points could be at stake.However ESPNcricinfo has confirmed that India would not be docked any points even if the Ahmedabad pitch were to be rated poor. Only if the pitch or the outfield is rated unfit does the host team get penalised as per the WTC playing conditions, which state: “If a match is abandoned and the pitch and/or outfield is ultimately rated as ‘Unfit’ under the ICC Pitch and Outfield Monitoring Process, points for that match shall be distributed on the basis that the visiting team won the match and the home team lost the match. Any abandoned match will be classified as a drawn match for statistical purposes.”
Compared to recent years, this summer hasn't been particularly action-packed for Arsenal.
As things stand, the only new face that Mikel Arteta has welcomed into the first team has been Italian defender Riccardo Calafiori, although that could be about to change in the coming weeks.
For example, it looks likely that the incredibly drawn-out saga surrounding Mikel Merino's proposed move to North London could finally be coming to a close, and while he's an extremely talented player, he could already be in for a real fight to get into the first team.
That's because recent reports have revealed that Edu Gaspar and Co are now targeting another central midfielder, and this player is someone the Arsenal faithful will be far more familiar with.
Arsenal transfer news
According to a recent report from insider TeamNewsAndTix via Caught Offside, Arsenal have reignited their interest in Newcastle United star Bruno Guimaraes this summer.
Bruno Guimaraes for Newcastle
The report claims that Arteta's side are 'preparing to make a blockbuster offer' for the Brazilian, including a cash sum and out-of-favour goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale.
There is no mention as to how much money the Gunners intend to offer, but according to the report, there is a feeling in North London that the Toon are not yet "out of the woods in terms of finances."
Newcastle's Bruno Guimaraes
It might prove difficult and ultimately still rather costly to sign the former Lyon ace this summer, but if Arsenal have a genuine chance at signing him, they should take it, even if it impacts Merino's potential minutes.
How Guimaraes compares to Merino
So, with Martin Odegaard firmly established as the Gunners' starting ten and Declan Rice admitting last season that six was his "best position," Merino and Guimaraes would have to compete with one another for the left eight role, which they have shown they can both play – even if the Brazilian has spent more time in defensive midfield across his career.
Now, before we look at their underlying numbers, let's compare their raw output. While they won't be expected to supply the brunt of the team's goal involvements, every little bit will help in the fight to take down City next season.
In this metric, the "world-class" Toon ace, as talent scout Jacek Kulig dubbed him, emerges victorious. In 50 appearances for the Magpies last season, he scored seven goals and provided ten assists, equating to an average of a goal involvement every 2.94 games.
In contrast, the Sociedad ace scored eight goals and provided five assists in 45 appearances, and while that's still impressive, it equates to a slightly worse average of a goal involvement every 3.46 games.
Okay, so while it's clear that the former Lyon ace is more of a direct goal threat than the Spaniard, who has the better underlying numbers?

Unfortunately for the Euro 2024 winner, his potential competition once again comes out looking better, and significantly so.
Across the vast majority of relevant metrics, the Rio de Janeiro-born star comes out ahead, including non-penalty expected goals plus assists, actual non-penalty goals plus assists, progressive passes and carries, shot and shots on target, passing accuracy, key passes, shot and goal-creating actions, blocks, interceptions and successful take-ons, all per 90.

In his defence, the Pamplona-born ace comes out miles ahead for aerial duels won and does better in a few other defensive metrics, such as tackles won, interceptions and ball recoveries per 90, but that really is about it.
Ultimately, while Merino looks like he will be a quality addition to Arsenal's midfield this summer and particularly useful for his ability to win duels, he's comfortably behind Guimaraes when it comes to his overall game. Therefore, should Edu and Co have a genuine chance to sign the Brazilian in the coming weeks, they must take it.

Former Australia international Elyse Villani has walked away from the WBBL in fairytale fashion after leading Hobart Hurricanes to their first title.Hurricanes now hold the BBL and WBBL trophies after Villani’s chargers romped to an eight-wicket win over Perth Scorchers in front of a 5000-strong home crowd at Bellerive Oval on Saturday.The 36-year-old, who has played 99 games for Australia, revealed post-match it was her last WBBL game.”It’s a fairytale ending and in elite sport it’s very rare to have that,” she said. “It has been playing on the back of my mind this season and I was hoping this could be the way it finished.”I was 80% sure this was the way it was going to go to retire after the game, but as soon as we won, I knew this was the moment.”Villani has played all 11 WBBL seasons, at Perth Scorchers and Melbourne Stars before Hurricanes, and finished runner-up three times. She joined Hurricanes for the 2022-23 competition, after the team had finished in last spot three of the previous five seasons. They’ve since built their roster and only dropped two games this year.”Sometimes you can have a really good list and feel the pressure of that list,” Villani said. “But what this group has done really well is that at different points in the season different people performed.”Villani said she would continue to play for Tasmania in the 50-over format and would move to an off-field role with Hurricanes.Hobart Hurricanes players erupt in the dugout•Getty Images
“Cricket has been something that has been a big part of my life and something I’ll miss a lot but at the same time you can’t sort of live this dream forever,” she said.Hurricanes kept Perth to 137 for 5 before opener Lizelle Lee turned on the jets with an unbeaten 77 from just 44 deliveries.”I play a high-risk game. Sometimes it pays off and sometimes it doesn’t. I don’t think it has sunk in yet,” Lee said.Lee’s knock, which included 10 fours and four sixes, came 11 months after Mitch Owen bludgeoned 108 on the same ground to deliver Hurricanes their first BBL trophy.”They’ve won it and they’ve set an example. It was great to do the same,” Lee said.Scorchers coach Becky Grundy was disappointed her side didn’t put their best foot forward but said she was proud of their fight to get to the decider.”We would have taken this at the start of the tournament, to be in a final. Unfortunately not to be. They outplayed us,” she said.

Leicester City are in "advanced talks" to complete the signing of an "amazing" player who has been rated highly for many years, according to journalist Fabrizio Romano.
Leicester transfer news
The Foxes are about to start their return to the Premier League, opening their account with a home clash against Tottenham next Monday evening, and they have enjoyed a productive summer transfer window. Steve Cooper has come in as Enzo Maresca's replacement as manager, while the likes of Issahaku Fatawu and Caleb Okoli have arrived, among others.
It is still a tumultuous period at the King Power Stadium, however, with the threat of a points deduction hanging over them, and Cooper will hope that some more new faces will arrive before the end of the month, aiding his squad if they do have a deficit to recover from.
One player who has been linked with a move to Leicester this summer is Wilfried Zaha, with the Foxes looking to hijack Crystal Palace's efforts to bring him back to Selhurst Park, where he enjoyed so many good years before joining Galatasaray.
Tottenham winger Manor Solomon has also emerged as a reported target for the Premier League newcomers, with the 25-year-old told that he can leave north London before the transfer window reaches its conclusion. He made just two league starts in the whole of last season for Spurs, highlighting his squad status.
Leicester in "advanced talks" with "amazing" player
Taking to X on Monday, Romano claimed that Leicester are in "advanced talks" to sign Bayer Leverkusen striker Adam Hlozek this summer, just working on personal terms having agreed a loan-to-buy deal with his club.
Hlozek is a player who has been highly-rated for some time, having been such an exciting talent during his Sparta Prague days, bursting onto the scene as a prodigious teenager. The attacking ace scored 40 goals in 132 appearances for the Czech side, not to mention also registering 36 assists, and 25 more goal contributions (14 goals and 11 assists) have come his way in 80 outings for Leverkusen.
Football talent scout Jacek Kulig has hailed him as "amazing" in the past, pointing out that he was the "youngest player ever to score a hat-trick in the Czech League". With Jamie Vardy not the force he once was, which is understandable considering he is now 37, and Kelechi Iheanacho moving on to pastures new, another striker feels essential for Leicester this summer.

ByTom Cunningham Aug 10, 2024
Hlozek fits the bill perfectly, coming in as a young player who has already achieved so much in the game, and who should only improve further in the coming years. In fact, if the 34-cap Czech Republic international reaches his potential, he could be a magnificent addition to Cooper's squad.
قدم مدرب الفريق الأول لكرة القدم بنادي ليفربول، آرني سلوت، آخر التحديثات الخاصة بفريقه قبل مواجهة بورنموث في الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز.
ويلاقي ليفربول نظيره بورنموث ضمن منافسات الجولة الرابعة والعشرين من منافسات الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز، على ملعب “فيتاليتي”، غداً السبت.
ويحتل ليفربول المركز الأول في ترتيب الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز برصيد 53 نقطة، بينما يأتي بورنموث في المركز السابع برصيد 40 نقطة.

وقال آرني سلوت في المؤتمر الصحفي قبل المباراة: “سنواجه فريقا كبيرا، كنت أعرف هذا بالفعل عندما لعبنا الشوط الثاني من المباراة على أرضنا في الدور الأول، كنا متقدمين 3-0 في الشوط الأول لكنهم استمروا في الهجوم علينا، لقد أظهر لي ذلك شخصيتهم، ومنذ ذلك الحين كانوا رائعين”.
وأضاف سلوت: “لاعبو بورنموث يعملون بجدية لا تصدق، وعلى عكس آرسنال، فإنهم يشكلون تهديدًا في الكرات الثابتة، ربما يستحقون مكانة أعلى من المكانة التي يحتلونها حاليًا”.
وتابع: “إنه أحد الأمثلة العديدة التي يستحق فيها ريتشارد هيوز الثناء (المدير الرياضي السابق لـ بورنموث والحالي لـ ليفربول)، ولكن ليس ريتشارد فقط، بل أيضًا مديرهم، فأنت بحاجة إلى الجودة وهذا ما جلبه ريتشارد وخليفته إلى هناك، لقد حقق المدير نتيجة رائعة”.
وعن اللاعبين الهولنديين في الفريقين، أفاد سلوت: “جوستين موهبة عظيمة، من الجيد أن نرى ذلك لأنه ترك هولندا في سن صغيرة، إنه يبلغ من العمر 24 عامًا فقط وقد وصل بالفعل إلى هذا المستوى، سيلعب مع موهبة كبيرة أخرى نشأت في أياكس وهي رايان جرافينبيرخ”.
وعن الدفع باللاعبين الشباب في مباراة آيندهوفن، أشار المدرب الهولندي: “لقد كنت سعيدًا بالطريقة التي لعبوا بها، لقد كنا تنافسيين حتى مع وجود العديد من اللاعبين الشباب في الملعب، أولئك الذين بقوا في الملعب لم يستريحوا، لقد تدربوا، هذا لا يمنحنا أي ضمانات لمباراة السبت، نأمل أن يساعدهم ذلك على البقاء في حالة جيدة”.
وعن إمكانية ذهاب محمد صلاح إلى الدوري السعودي، علق: “سيكون من المفاجئ أن يقول أحد إنه لا يريد محمد صلاح! الجميع يريده، بما في ذلك نحن، نريده أن يجدد عقده بالطبع، لقد قدم أداءً جيدًا لسنوات عديدة ونجح في ذلك دون نصيحتي حتى يتمكن من الاستمرار في فعل ما هو الأفضل لمسيرته”.
وأفاد: “هذا واضح، لكنني لست مندهشًا من أن السعودية تريد ضمه، لن أتفاجأ إذا رغبت به دول أخرى أيضًا”.
وأكمل: “نصيحتي مختلفة عن تلك التي ذكرها وزير الرياضة السعودي، لست مندهشًا من أن شخصًا ما يريده، لقد فعل الكثير من الأشياء الذكية في مسيرته، إنه كبير في السن وحكيم بما يكفي، لذلك سيتخذ القرار الصحيح له في مسيرته، ونأمل أن يكون كذلك لنا”.
وأكد سلوت: “بخصوص مستقبل صلاح وفيرجل وترينت؟ أتحدث معهم كثيراً وسيكون من الساذج القول إننا لم نتحدث عن مستقبلهم لكن هذا شيء لن أتحدث عنه معكم، نحن نتحدث بشكل روتيني”.
وعن كييزا، قال: “إنه مستعد لخوض المزيد من الدقائق، إذا كان بإمكانه اللعب لمدة 90 دقيقة في دوري الأبطال، فيمكنك اللعب في الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز، مشكلته الرئيسية هي المنافسة مع دياز وجاكبو ونونيز وصلاح وجوتا، إنهم يؤدون بشكل جيد للغاية أيضًا، إنه يستحق الثناء الكبير على مدى جهده”.
وعن موعد عودة جوتا وجوميز ونونيز، أوضح سلوت: “الثلاثي سيتدرب اليوم لكن لدينا 20 لاعبا جاهزا، لذا ينبغي علينا اتخاذ قرارات ذكية للفوز بالمباراة، سنرى إن كان سيلعبوا غداً”.
وفيما يتعلق بـ سوبوسلاي، صرح: “هذا الموسم كان ثابتاً على أدائه ومعدل عمله وهو أحد أسباب تقديمنا لأداءٍ جيد هذا الموسم ومايُميّزه بالنسبة لي عن البقية هو أنه يجري بشدة أعلى وقادر على الركض كثيراً، هو يُشارك بحالات هجومية خطيرة أيضاً وشعرت دوماً أنها مسألة وقت قبل أن يسجل ويصنع أهدافاً أكثر”.
