A manhã desta sexta-feira (10) marcou a reapresentação do elenco do Corinthians após a equipe alvinegra ser derrotada por 2 a 0 pelo São Bernardo, na noite da última quinta-feira (9), pela sétima rodada do Campeonato Paulista. Desfalques no jogo realizado no ABC Paulista, o volante Maycon e o atacante Yuri Alberto participaram da atividade que aconteceu no CT Joaquim Grava.
Maycon sofreu uma lesão de grau um na coxa direita há duas semanas, durante a vitória corintiana sobre o Guarani, pelo Estadual, já Yuri ficou fora dos dois últimos compromissos do Timão, contra São Paulo e Botafogo-SP por conta de dores no tornozelo direito.

O camisa 8 será reavaliado diariamente pelo Departamento de Saúde e Performance do Timão, e sua presença no jogo de domingo dependerá da evolução no tratamento ao longo da semana.
À princípio, tanto o técnico Fernando Lázaro quanto o fisioterapeuta Bruno Mazziotti haviam descartado uma lesão mais séria.
Renato Augusto sentiu dois estalos no joelho depois de uma disputa com o lateral Igor Fernandes. Minutos depois, o camisa 8 deixou de disputar um lance e pediu para deixar o campo, descendo prontamente ao vestiário.

Quem avançou em sua recuperação no departamento médico foi Júnior Moraes. O atacante se recuperou das dores na panturrilha e iniciou o treino individual no campo. A tendência é que ele siga como desfalque para o primeiro jogo no mata-mata do Paulistão.
Lesionado no dia 2 de fevereiro por conta de um problema nos ligamentos do tornozelo direito, Carlos Alberto retornou aos gramados no último sábado, no Mané Garrincha, em Brasília. O atacante entrou em campo aos 15 minutos do segundo tempo para dar velocidade ao setor ofensivo, mas não conseguiu impedir a vitória do Flamengo em cima do Botafogo por 1 a 0.
Apesar da derrota no clássico pelo Carioca, Carlos Alberto mostrou muita dedicação e personalidade. O jogador vinha sendo um dos destaques da equipe alvinegra antes da contusão e volta para ser opção em um setor considerado “carente”.

A ponta direita vem sendo uma das principais preocupações dos torcedores. Lucas Piazon e Gustavo Sauer têm sido utilizados na posição, mas ambos não estão conseguindo desempenhar atuações constantes neste começo de temporada.
O Botafogo busca um atacante no mercado e chegou a procurar nomes do futebol europeu. Os dirigentes demonstraram interesse em jogadores como Facundo Pellistri e Edigar Junio, mas as negociações não avançaram.
Carlos Alberto é jovem e conta com apoio de boa parte da torcida. O jogador tem apenas 20 anos e chegou ao Glorioso no início deste ano após boas atuações no América-MG. O atleta está emprestado até dezembro deste ano.
A tendência é que ele seja utilizado por Luís Castro nos próximos jogos e ganhe respaldo do clube para se desenvolver e amadurecer. O atacante mostrou muita personalidade nas partidas que atuou e retorna para ser um reforço importante ao longo da temporada.
O Glorioso entra em campo na próxima quinta-feira, diante do Sergipe, às 20h, fora de casa, pela terceira fase da Copa do Brasil. O time de Luís Castro precisa apenas de um empate para se classificar para próxima fase da competição. Relembre a vez que Botafogo e Sergipe se enfrentaram na Copa do Brasil.
Nesta terça-feira (21), Raphael Veiga, meia do Palmeiras, deu sua primeira entrevista coletiva servindo a Seleção Brasileira. Um dos destaques do Verdão na temporada, o meia reafirmou sua vontade de jogar na Europa e apontou seus países de preferência.
>’Não movia o meu dia a dia’, desabafa Raphael Veiga sobre ‘espera’ por chance na Seleção Brasileira
O camisa 23 tem contrato com o Alviverde até o final de 2026, mas deixou claro que jogar no continente europeu é um objetivo. Neste ano, o jogador já marcou cinco gols e distribuiu cinco assistências. Vale lembrarque, recentemente, o Palmeiras adquiriu mais 20% dos direitos de Veiga, que eram do Coritiba. Com isso, o clube paulista poderá receber mais dinheiro em caso de venda do jogador para a Europa.

England on course for tenth win in 11 Tests after another remarkable day at Bay Oval
Andrew Miller18-Feb-2023
Stuart Broad castles Tom Blundell – like three other New Zealand batters on the night before him•AFP/Getty Images
New Zealand 306 (Blundell 138, Conway 77, Robinson 4-54) and 63 for 5 (Broad 4-21) need another 331 runs to beat England 325 for 9 dec and 374 (Root 57, Brook 54, Foakes 51, Tickner 3-55) They call him the Nighthawk, and sure enough, Stuart Broad was England’s agent of chaos under the Mount Maunganui floodlights … not, as had been hyped, with the bat, but instead in his more familiar guise, an irresistible display of throwback fast bowling that tore the lid clean off New Zealand’s second innings, and set his team up for an inevitable tenth win in 11 Tests.Four wickets, four bowled, all four through the gate in the space of 27 balls. For a time it seemed inevitable that Broad was about to surge to a five-wicket haul in space of a single spell for the eighth time in his remarkable career. Instead New Zealand regrouped to a degree by the close, to limp to 63 for 5 but with their dim-and-distant target of 394 little more than a pipe-dream.Ironically, the only New Zealander to get the better of Broad on a memorable third day was the same man whose bowling figures went down in history for a very different reason. After his comic antics with the bat on the second evening, Broad was quickly bombed out by a bouncer in Neil Wagner’s second over of the day – a rare personal high spot for Wagner, who bore the brunt of England’s subsequent batting onslaught with the eye-watering figures of 13-0-110-2, the second-most expensive economy rate in Test history.Wagner’s indefatigability has been a defining feature of New Zealand’s World Test Championship-winning team – but this was a beasting like few others. After resuming with an overnight lead of 98, England clattered a remarkable 158 runs in the morning session, but leaked four wickets in the process – leading the team to apply a relative hand-brake throughout the afternoon, eventually landing their innings on an imposing 374, 20 minutes after the dinner break, like a glider pilot on a bombed-out runway. With the floodlights just kicking in as they did so, it meant New Zealand were faced with batting through the twilight, just as they had done on the first day. Broad made it his mission to ensure that they couldn’t.From the outset of his spell, Broad’s length was full going on fuller, with his round-the-wicket angle initially straying into the pads of New Zealand’s left-handers, particularly Tom Latham, who clipped his second ball through midwicket for four. But England under Ben Stokes have no interest in the odd leaked boundary – just ask Jasprit Bumrah. Broad’s only interest in this passage of play was to keep the stumps in play. And crikey, how he delivered.With the final ball of his second over, Broad got his angles spot on. Devon Conway, so steadfast in New Zealand’s first innings, drove without due care as the ball kept shaping back in through his defences, rattling the top of middle to depart for 2. In the process, Broad put the seal on his ascent, with James Anderson, to the top of the partnership pile – it was their 1002nd wicket in 15 years as a Test-match pairing, surpassing the mighty Glenn McGrath and Shane Warne.And if, throughout their 133 matches in tandem, there’s always been the sense that Anderson is the deliverer of relentless excellence, then Broad is the man whose hot spells are the most irresistible. When, five balls later, he claimed New Zealand’s kingpin, Kane Williamson, with another wicked seamer, you just knew he was back on one of those rolls.This one, from over the wicket to the right-hander, was pitched on the perfect in-between length, zippy enough to cause even a batter of Williamson’s class some indecision. Which way would it jag? Back into the stumps as it happened, bursting through a half-committed front foot to thump the top of off. Williamson’s duck completed a bleakly fallow game in his first home match back in the ranks, and more or less confirmed his team’s futile situation.Three balls, and one over, later, Broad should have had his third, but Zak Crawley at second slip shelled a fat nick as Latham drove outside his eyeline. A similar drop off Conway had proven costly in the first innings, but this time Broad just shrugged and did the job himself. In the same over, he found the same length … and the same result as the two before it, another nip-backer burst through the gate to dispatch Latham for 15. And, at 19 for 3, Broad had become the first England seamer to bowl each of the top three since Fred Trueman against West Indies in 1959-60.And of course he wasn’t done yet – although there was a brief interlude to his monologue as Ollie Robinson, England’s star of the first innings, served a reminder of his own excellence under the lights, with a zippy lifter from over the wicket, across the bows of the left-handed Henry Nicholls to kiss the edge through to Ben Foakes to make it 27 for 4.One run and three overs later, Broad had his fourth, as Tom Blundell – New Zealand’s first-innings centurion – played down the wrong line of another inexorable inducker to cue more pandemonium from England’s gleeful fielders.Joe Root launches a six over backward square during England’s onslaught•Getty Images
England had had plenty to be cheerful about, long before Broad stole the show. Another day, another display of unfathomably aggressive batting, this time to the tune of 295 runs in 57.5 overs, across two distinct tempos – over-drive in the first session, then cruise-control thereafter, as Ben Foakes brought up the rear of an innings that – at 237 for 6 when Joe Root fell to another reverse-sweep on the stroke of tea – had briefly threatened to skid out of control.England’s runs were shared all down the order, including four scores between Ollie Pope’s tempo-setting 49 from 46 balls, and Root’s 57 from 62, and eight of 25 or more – for only the sixth time in Test history. Harry Brook marched ever deeper into the record-books with his sixth 50-plus score in eight Test innings, 54 from 41 balls this time, taking his overall record to 623 at 77.87 and a preposterous strike-rate of 96.88, while Ben Stokes – relegated to No.8 by an untimely toilet break – responded to 12 dot-balls at the top of his innings with 31 from his remaining 21, including two sixes over fine leg, the first of which took him past his coach, Brendon McCullum, to become the leading six-hitter in Test history.The main man, however, was Pope, who lit the fuse on England’s innings, and Wagner’s figures, with two mighty launches up and over fine leg for six. Two more sixes followed in Wagner’s next over – one apiece for Pope and Root, both in the same direction – and when Pope eventually swung once too often to be caught down the leg side with his fifty beckoning, Brook took up the cudgels in unrelenting fashion, belting Wagner for four, four, four, six in an 18-run over that set him on course for a 37-ball fifty.By the time Broad was done, however, such unworldly feats had been relegated to a footnote. This England team are making the extraordinary seem commonplace on a daily basis, but even by the standards of his mighty career, what followed under the lights was something special.
Peshwar Zalmi lose a second straight game after posting 240 or more on the board
ESPNcricinfo staff10-Mar-2023
Rilee Rossouw made a 41-ball hundred, the fastest in the PSL•PCB
Rilee Rossouw brought jaws – and PSL records – down with an unbridled display of power-hitting, turning a chase of 243 into a cakewalk. Along the way, he made the joint-fastest fifty of the tournament, converted it into its fastest ever hundred – going past himself – and pushed the Multan Sultans into the PSL playoffs.Peshawar Zalmi – still not sure of their place in those playoffs – have now lost two straight matches despite posting 240 and more on the board. They were ambushed by Jason Roy a few nights ago and now it was Rossouw’s turn as the South African powerhouse clattered eight sixes and 12 fours to mastermind the second-highest chase in all of T20 history, with five balls to spare.The longest Rossouw went between boundaries in his innings was six balls. His first five scoring shots were all fours or sixes. And he kept going. By 17 deliveries faced, he had a fifty to his name. He only ran two of those runs. T-w-o. That detour into English county cricket via Kolpak had taken one of the biggest and brightest stars in South Africa away from the spotlight. But he’s back now and he’s got numbers that are scarcely believable. Over 297 T20s, he’s maintained an average over 30 and a strike rate over 140. Some of the other people who’ve managed to do that are Chris Gayle, Kieron Pollard, David Warner and AB de Villiers.Rossouw had a strong support cast helping him. Pollard chipped in with 52 off just 24 balls. Their third-wicket partnership – 99 off 43 balls – formed the bedrock of this chase. A little while earlier, when Sultans were bowling, 21-year old seamer Abbas Afridi, picked up 4 for 39. Three of those wickets came in the space of nine deliveries where he gave away only eight runs. In a game where where they were scored at the rate of two a ball, that was noteworthy.So too were Babar Azam (73 off 39) and Saim Ayub’s (58 off 33) fifties. Zalmi’s two openers were incredibly fluent at the start of the game, setting up such a strong platform that they could keep hitting despite the speed bumps that Afridi’s spell had put in front of them. At the halfway point, they would’ve felt fairly pleased with their work. The rest is now history.
While spotlight remains on Matheesha Pathirana, CSK bowling consultant Eric Simons credits “unsung heroes” Shardul Thakur and Tushar Deshpande for victory
ESPNcricinfo staff14-Apr-20241:35
Gavaskar on Hardik: ‘Ordinary bowling, ordinary captaincy’
Hardik Pandya, the Mumbai Indians captain, felt Matheesha Pathirana was the difference between the two sides on Sunday night as the heavyweight clash billed as the IPL’s “” ended in victory for Chennai Super Kings.Pathirana, who missed CSK’s last two games with a hamstring niggle, was a late inclusion. And he finished with figures of 4 for 28; this included the wickets of Ishan Kishan and Suryakumar Yadav in his very first over, the eighth of the innings, to put the skids on Mumbai after a 70-run opening stand.”Definitely it was gettable,” Hardik said of Mumbai’s 207-run target. “But I think they bowled pretty well, Pathirana was the difference. He came and got the wickets, at the same time they were also quite smart with their approach. They used the longer boundary well.Related

“It was about batting well and keeping our intent, which we did till Pathirana came in. We were on course to get the total, those couple of wickets [in his first over] we lost set us back. From there we were chasing the game.”CSK had a number of bowlers who used their slower variations well and bowled into the pitch to extract something off the deck in the face of some dew. Shardul Thakur was taken for 33 off his first three overs, but came back superbly in his final over to concede just two to deny a set Rohit Sharma and Hardik with Mumbai needing 77 off 36.Then Tushar Deshpande got into the act, dismissing Hardik by having him hole out to the longer boundary at deep midwicket. Soon, the equation turned into a daunting 72 off 24. Pathirana then came back for his final over to send back the big-hitting Romario Shepherd with a fuller ball that splayed his stumps.While it was natural for Pathirana to get the spotlight after his four-for, CSK bowling consultant Eric Simons felt Thakur and Deshpande turned the game. “The unsung heroes tonight were Tushar and Shardul,” Simons said at the post-match press conference. “Shardul bowled one of the best overs I have ever seen. At that stage they were looking at 12s-13s an over, the game’s very much in the balance. He bowls the over and it goes up at 14. The game turned there.”Matheesha will get a lot of accolades and he deserves it because of the way he bowled and the breakthroughs he gave us. But those two gentlemen did extremely well for us to push the rate out of reach out of MI.”Tushar is a very intelligent bowler. Our conversations are around his tactics, his understanding of conditions and oppositions. One of the things we try and do is make sure bowlers have clarity when they arrive at game and they know exactly what they have to do and also understand the tactics. So not just what the tactic is but also why it is like that. And he has a very clear understanding of the tactic and also why it is like that.”Hardik Pandya’s Mumbai Indians came out second best in the IPL’s “El Classico”•AFP via Getty Images
That CSK’s bowlers found themselves with 206 to defend was down to Shivam Dube’s 38-ball 66 and Dhoni’s cameo – including three sixes in the final over. For much of Dube’s innings, Hardik held his spinners back and preferred to go with pace into the wicket. Offspinner Mohammad Nabi bowled three overs for 19, while Shreyas Gopal, their legspinner, bowled just one over.”It was about what was best at that point,” Hardik said of his tactic to hold back his spinners. “In hindsight we can see how we could’ve used our spinners and done something different, but in the longer term I like to play with what I can work with, that’s percentage cricket. On that wicket, for seamers, it was much more difficult for him [Dube] to do what he did [to pacers] than to the spinners.”The defeat was Mumbai’s fourth in six games. It broke a sequence of two straight wins. Currently eighth on the table, they now get on the road for four away fixtures and are in need of a big second half to remain in contention for the playoffs.In looking for this, Hardik wants the team to keep it simple. “We just need to keep our intensity high, be smart about our plans,” he said. “If we can do that, we can get the goal we want.”
Chelsea are involved in a three-way transfer race for a “sensational” forward who is now set to cost £75m this summer, according to a report.
Blues set for attacking reshuffle
With Noni Madueke looking increasingly likely to leave Stamford Bridge in the summer window, amid interest from Aston Villa and Newcastle United, some additional reinforcements may be needed in wide areas, and a new target has entered the frame.
The Blues have now submitted a £29m offer for Atletico Madrid winger Giuliano Simeone, who has been a “revelation” in La Liga this season, which means the Spanish are taking their time to assess the bid.
A dream target for Enzo Maresca is Athletic Bilbao’s Nico Williams, with the west Londoners now beginning to lay the groundwork for a potential deal, having recently made fresh contact over a summer move.
Chelsea now set to bid to sign Barcelona star with £837m release clause
The Blues could make a big offer for a defender, who is protected by an astronomical release clause.
ByDominic Lund Mar 30, 2025
Maresca has set his sights on a number of targets from Spain, but there have also been suggestions a player from much closer to home could be on his way to Stamford Bridge.
According to a report from The Sun, Chelsea are now eyeing a move for AFC Bournemouth Antoine Semenyo, but they are not the only Premier League club in the race for the forward’s signature, with rivals Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool also in the picture.
AFC Bournemouth's AntoineSemenyolooks on
Semenyo has emerged as a key player for Bournemouth this season, and given that he has played a major role in the Cherries’ push for Europe, they are hesitant to green light a sale this summer, although they would be willing to listen to big offers.
Bournemouth have now set an asking price of £75m in a bid to ward off the interest from elsewhere, which they believe is fair given the vast sums of money that have been spent on players like Mykhailo Mudryk and Antony.
Chelsea fans will know all about "sensational" Semenyo
The Ghanaian is enjoying an impressive campaign, picking up nine goals and six assists in 33 matches in all competitions, and perhaps his finest moment came at Stamford Bridge, netting a wonder goal in the 2-2 draw at Stamford Bridge in January.
Lauded as “sensational” by members of the media, the Bournemouth star has managed to kick on in his second full season in the Premier League, having already eclipsed the number of goal contributions he managed to record in the 2023-24 campaign.
That said, a £75m asking price seems far too high for a player who hasn’t long proven themselves at the top level, with the 25-year-old yet to make an appearance in a European competition.
If Bournemouth are willing to drop their asking price, there is every indication Semenyo could be a worthwhile signing, but a fee of £75m should be reserved for players in the world-class category, and the Ghana international is not there just yet,
