Sarah Aley, the star of the Women’s BBL and the tournament’s highest wicket-taker this year, may become the fourth-oldest Australian women to debut in a T20I after she was added to Australia’s squad for the T20Is against New Zealand

ESPNcricinfo staff09-Feb-2017Thirty-two-year-old Sarah Aley has been added to Australia Women’s T20I squad for the upcoming series against New Zealand on February 17. She was called in as cover for Lauren Cheatle, who sustained an injury to her shoulder during training last week.Aley – who finished as the highest wicket-taker in the recently concluded Women’s Big Bash League – would be the fourth-oldest Australian woman to make a T20I debut if she plays, behind Cathryn Fitzpatrick (37), Belinda Clark (34) and Lisa Keightley (34).She was the player of the match during the WBBL final. In 10 matches in the tournament, Aley took 19 wickets with three three-wicket hauls, including 4 for 23 in the final.National selector Shawn Flegler said Aley’s consistent performances in both the 50-over and 20-over versions have earned her a spot in Australia’s squad. “Sarah had yet another consistent season in both the T20 and 50-over competitions this season and there’s no doubt she has earned her selection,” Flegler said. “She has got a wealth of experience and we know that if the opportunity arises she will be able to perform the role she’s given. You always know what you are going to get with Sarah.”Cheatle is expected to be available for the second and third matches of the series. The three-match T20I series starts in Melbourne, before moving to Geelong and finishing in Adelaide on February 22.

Glasgow Rangers sit at the top of the Scottish Premiership with a comfortable lead over their arch rivals Celtic and should now start to think about some long-term investments with an eye on the future…

What’s the word?

According to The Sun, long-term Rangers target Juan Alegria isn’t bound for Ibrox – despite a cryptic post on Instagram.

Alegria has been heavily linked with a move to the Govan-based Glaswegian giants, having scored four goals in ten appearances across all competitions this season, via Transfermarkt.

However, contrary to popular belief, it’s claimed the Colombian isn’t on his way to Ibrox but has jetted off on holiday instead.

Alfredo Morelos 2.0

Rangers are the Premiership’s most prolific side, scoring a whopping 57 goals so far – 12 more than any other team – in 22 games this season. But with Greg Stewart seemingly destined for the Ibrox exit, Ross Wilson could do with signing some offensive reinforcements with one eye on the future.

Despite his age, Alegria’s potential arrival would certainly bolster Gerrard’s firepower as he has a penchant for finding the back of the net. He has scored on every appearance in the Kakkonen for the reserve team this season so far.

The 18-year-old has made no secret of his desire to follow in the footsteps of his countryman Alfredo Morelos, who previously plied his trade in Finland after making the switch from his South American homeland.

It’s no wonder, then, that legendary Rangers fullback Alan Hutton has described him as a “big talent” whilst former Celtic and St. Mirren striker Frank McAvennie has hailed him as an “exciting” prospect.

While admittedly very little is known about the uncapped Colombia U17 international, the numbers don’t lie, and he could have a similar impact to Morelos if they can get a deal over the line. Alegria could add a natural goal threat in front of goal and still has room to improve at the age of 18.

Gerrard must convince Wilson to sanction a move for the promising talent as the chance to sign a star in the making who is available for a pre-contract agreement is simply too good an opportunity to miss.

Liverpool were held to their second successive draw in the Premier League as they played out a stalemate with Newcastle United at St James’ Park on Wednesday.

However, the return of Spanish midfielder Thiago is a huge boost for Jurgen Klopp’s side, with the 29-year-old having been limited to just two appearances in the Premier League since his summer arrival from Bayern Munich before his substitute appearance against the Toon.

The former Barcelona man has spent two months on the sidelines with a knee injury following a horror tackle from Everton’s Richarlison back in October but was still able to demonstrate his immense quality on his first appearance back against Steve Bruce’s side.

Thiago replaced James Milner in the 73rd minute of the game and the Reds looked much more threatening with him on the pitch, with the quality of his long balls causing problems for the Newcastle defence.

As per SofaScore, the £43.2 million rated midfielder completed 21/23 of his passes during his time on the pitch, resulting in a superb pass accuracy rate of 91%.

The Spanish international was accurate in all six of his long balls, whilst he also impressively won all six of the duels he was involved in during his brief time on the pitch, emphasising that he is not one to shirk away from the physical nature of the Premier League.

Following his cameo, Michael Owen was full of praise for the midfielder on Twitter, saying:

“We’ve only been treated to snippets of play so far but I genuinely get excited when @Thiago6 steps onto the pitch. He’s so different to anything in the @premierleague. A proper baller.”

Therefore, despite his lack of match fitness at the moment, Klopp should consider starting the Spaniard against Southampton in the Reds’ next Premier League fixture on Monday, as their last two results emphasise the need for a creative midfielder to try and unlock stubborn defences.

With the Saints having kept seven clean sheets in the top-flight so far this season, it certainly won’t be an easy task for Klopp’s side at St Mary’s, so Thiago should definitely be involved at some point next Monday.

Leeds United have a tough hurdle to clear this evening as they prepare to host Newcastle at Elland Road in their midweek Premier League fixture. The Whites are coming off the back of two frustrating defeats, one against Chelsea and the latest against West Ham.

Despite scoring in both matches, Leeds couldn’t do enough to take anything away from either outing. Tonight will be viewed as a must-win by Marcelo Bielsa and his men, but they will be missing several senior players from their roster.

Speaking to Football FanCast correspondent Tom Ward, Carlton Palmer discussed the news that Robin Koch will be sidelined for up to three months following a knee injury sustained against Everton.

“It’s always going to be a massive blow, ” the pundit said. “Any top player that gets injured for any club is going to create a problem.”

Joining Koch on Bielsa’s injury list is fellow centre-back and summer recruit Diego Llorente, who has made just one Premier League appearance for his new club (via Transfermarkt).

In the absence of the duo, Luke Ayling has been forced to step up and take on the centre-back role. Whilst he has been one of the Whites’ more impressive performers, his hard work isn’t being reflected in their recent results.

Whilst Bielsa will be pleasantly surprised to be ahead of Arsenal in the league table, they have a tough run ahead. After 16 years away from the Premier League, it would be crushing for fans if Leeds face relegation at the end of this season.

Palmer believes that there’s very little chance of the Championship winners facing the drop, but they must start banking more points. As it stands, Leeds are just six points outside the relegation zone. A poor run of form and some positive results from the likes of Fulham and West Brom could rapidly turn Bielsa’s dream season into a nightmare.

West Brom are back in the big time but they face an almighty task of staying there having not picked up a single victory in any of their opening eight matches of the 2020/21 season.

Indeed, they could be merely another one-season wonder tracing the footsteps of Fulham and Norwich City in recent times.

A major Achilles heel of this Baggies side is scoring goals – only two teams have found the net fewer times, Sheffield United and Burnley, who occupy the only two spots below them in the Premier League table.

Whilst no Albion player besides Callum Robinson has scored more than one goal this season.

In their final top-flight campaign before relegation in 2018, the Hawthorns had a prolific goalscorer in Salomon Rondon, but how is he getting on now?

He would have certainly been good to still have around.

Where is Rondon now?

Upon relegation to the Championship, the Venezuelan international was sent to Newcastle United on loan, where he won the Player of the Year award after providing 11 goals and seven assists in 32 appearances, per Transfermarkt.

The Magpies then lost Rafa Benitez to Chinese Super League outfit Dalian Pro and the 31-year-old soon followed him there after they activated his £16.5m release clause.

A rather poor decision from former CEO, Mark Jenkins.

Over in China, Rondon has continued his form as a noted goalscorer, contributing to 21 goals, 14 of which scored by himself.

At the Hawthorns, he scored more goals (20) for Tony Pulis than any other Albion coach, whilst no manager has deployed him more than the flat-capped Welshman either, so he was clearly quite the favourite.

Jim White once lauded Rondon as “unbelievable” on talkSPORT (via This Is Futbol) whilst Lee Clark compared him to Les Ferdinand for his “swashbuckling” playing style.

If only he was still on the books in the Midlands, no other player offers his sheer power (4.6 average aerial duels won in final WBA season) and goalscoring finesse.

أكد وحيد خليلوزيتش، المدير الفني لمنتخب المغرب، أن الحديث عن قوة أسود الأطلسي في الوقت الراهن مجرد كلام سابق لأوانه، لافتا إلى أن المرحلة النهائية من التصفيات المؤهلة إلى كأس العالم لن تكون سهلة.

ونجح منتخب المغرب في تحقيق رقم غير مسبوق بالفوز أمس على غينيا بثلاثية نظيفة، إذ أحرزوا العلامة الكاملة والوصول إلى النقطة 18 في دور المجموعات من تصفيات كأس العالم قطر 2022.

وقال وحيد خاليلوزيتش في تصريحات عقب اللقاء، إنه سعيد لأن المغرب البلد الوحيد عالميًا الذي حقق نتائج كبيرة واستطاع تحقيق سلسلة انتصارات متتالية في تصفيات المونديال.

وأضاف: “الجمهور المغربي عليه أن يكون سعيدًا بمنتخبه الذي حقق نتائج مبهرة، هناك منافسة قوية بين اللاعبين، وهذا أمر جيد، لقد أعطيت الفرصة للجميع، فرغم غياب النصيري إلا أن الكعبي ومايي تألقا كثيرًا، وهذا أمر يفرح”.

واختتم: “لم نفعل شيئا حتى الآن، تنتظرنا مباراتين فاصلتين، منتخبات كغانا والكاميرون ومصر قوية جدًا، وعلينا أن نكون جاهزين”.

أوضحت شبكة “سكاي سبورتس” موقف المدير الفني السابق لنادي إنتر ميلان، أنطونيو كونتي، من الموافقة على تدريب الفريق الأول لكرة القدم بنادي توتنهام خلال الأيام المقبلة.

وأعلن نادي توتنهام قبل دقائق عن إقالة مدربه نونو إسبريتو سانتو، بسبب سوء النتائج الفنية في بطولة الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز وكان آخرها الخسارة أمام مانشستر يونايتد بنتيجة 0-3.

وأفاد الصحفي، فابرزيو رومانو، ومتخصص شبكة “سكاي سبورتس” في سوق الانتقالات أن كونتي جاهز للموافقة على عرض توتنهام وهناك مفاوضات تحدث الآن في مراحلها الأخيرة.

هناك اتفاق على الراتب السنوي ومدة العقد وتم مناقشاتهما في الساعات الماضية، ويبدو أن كونتي سيوافق على تدريب توتنهام بعد فشل المفاوضات في الصيف بينهما.

وبحسب الصحفي الآخر في الشبكة، جيانلوكا دي ماريزو، من المتوقع أن يصل كونتي إلى العاصمة البريطانية “لندن” في أقرب وقت ممكن لاستكمال المفاوضات.

ما يقرب وجهات النظر هو عمل كونتي مع فابيو باراتيتشي لسنوات في يوفنتوس قبل رحيل المدرب الإيطالي في عام 2014.

Falar pouco e fazer muito. Essa é a receita do capitão Marquinhos para que o Figueira derrote o São Paulo no próximo sábado (28), no Morumbi. Nesta quinta (26), o jogador deu entrevista coletiva e pediu um time com mais atitude em campo e caprichando naquilo que tem falhado para conquistar três pontos na capital paulista.

-O importante é ter atitude dentro de campo. Já vínhamos conversando bastante que poderíamos, se tivéssemos feito nosso papel, estar mais tranquilos nesse momento. Independente de ser mais experiente ou mais jovem, a gente sabe da necessidade nesses dois jogos. Então, não precisa estar falando mais. Nesse momento, a gente tem que trabalhar, falar o menos possível para resolver a nossa situação dentro de campo. E quando chegar dentro de campo, fazer o que não fizemos nesses últimos jogos – declarou Marquinhos.

Questionado se a goleada sofrida pelo Sâo Paulo contra o Corinthians poderia ser algo positivo para o Figueira no jogo, o capitão do time ficou em cima do muro e pediu que os jogadores do Alvinegro se preocupem apenas com o Figueirense:

– A goleada que eles sofreram tem os dois lados. Tem o lado da pressão pelo fato de terem tomado a goleada. Mas, ao mesmo tempo, os jogadores vão correr muito mais e querer demonstrar para a torcida que foi um fato isolado. Eles estão brigando pela Libertadores, pode ser a despedida do Rogério. Mas a gente não tem que pensar muito neles, a gente tem que se preocupar com a gente. Se a gente colocar em prática o que já demonstrou no campeonato, e que tem faltado nas últimas rodadas, a gente consegue o resultado positivo. É um jogo dificílimo, com o São Paulo jogando dentro de sua casa, mas a gente vai lá para buscar os três pontos – finalizou o jogador.

No gramado do Orlando Scarpelli, o técnico Hudson Coutinho comandou um treino coletivo e um trabalho de jogadas ensaiadas. Tudo fechado à imprensa. Ao contrário da última quarta-feira (25), quando Carlos Alberto, Juninho e Dudu ficaram na academia, nesta quinta (26), o treinador teve todo o elenco à disposição.

O Figueirense é o 16º colocado no Brasileirão, com 40 pontos ganhos. Uma vitória contra o São Paulo, no próximo sábado, às 17h, no Morumbi, pode, até mesmo, livrar o time do rebaixamento, dependendo dos resultados dos rivais.

Fora da partida contra o Orlando City devido aos dois amistosos da Seleção Brasileira Olímpica, Jorge estará novamente à disposição do técnico Oswaldo de Oliveira nesta quinta-feira, às 22h, quando o Flamengo entra em campo pela 35ª rodada do Campeonato Brasileiro. O adversário da vez é o Santos, de onde vem dois dos companheiros do lateral na equipe canarinho: o atacante Gabriel e o meia Lucas Lima. Este último, entretanto, não irá para o jogo, já que vai cumprir suspensão pelo terceiro cartão amarelo. Na visão do camisa 36, a ausência do amigo pode ser uma boa para o time da Gávea.

– Sabemos da qualidade do Lucas Lima, que vai fazer falta ao time dele – disse o lateral.

Se o meia é baixa no Alvinegro Praiano, Gabriel será uma das principais armas do Peixe para o duelo. Contente por ter a oportunidade de atuar ao lado do artilheiro apelidado de “Gabigol”, Jorge sabe da capacidade do rival.

– A gente conversava bastante, brincávamos um com o outro. Vai ser um jogo importante. É um jogador de muita qualidade. Fico feliz de estar jogando junto com ele na Seleção. Já o marquei no Maracanã e consegui anulá-lo bem. Mas sei da qualidade dele, tem que ter cuidado – comentou.

No primeiro turno do Brasileirão, o trio esteve em campo no empate por 2 a 2 entre as equipes, em jogo disputado no Maracanã. Sete pontos separam Santos e Flamengo na tabela. As equipes ocupam a quarta e 11ª posição, respectivamente.
