Female basketball star DiJonai Carrington has rubbished suggestions she poked Caitlin Clark in the eye on purpose during the Connecticut Sun’s Game 1 victory over Indiana Fever. The incident in question occurred in the opening quarter of the teams’ WNBA Playoffs First-Round meeting, with Clark clearly in some discomfort as she went down in a heap on the court, clutching her face. The 22-year-old Indiana Fever sensation, this week named the WNBA Rookie of the Year, was later seen sporting a nasty-looking black eye in the aftermath of the Fever’s 93-69 defeat. However, Clark’s bruising appeared to have eased significantly as…

Ben Chilwell admits he has ‘missed’ playing for Chelsea after the exiled defender finally made his first appearance under Enzo Maresca. The left-back was one of Chelsea’s ‘bomb squad’ stars, banished from the first-team over the summer by Maresca and told to find a new club. However, while the likes of Conor Gallagher and Raheem Sterling were able to seal a move away, Chilwell remained at Stamford Bridge amid a lack of interest in the England international. As a result, Maresca has allowed him back into training and handed him his first minutes of the season in Tuesday night’s Carabao…

Michael Owen has claimed that Manchester United winger Antony doesn’t have the quality to thrive in the Premier League despite his talents. The Brazil international joined United on the recommendation of Ten Hag over two years ago in a £85million move from Ajax but has failed to live up to expectations. Antony scored his first goal of the season in the 7-0 EFL Cup thrashing over Barnsley last week but has been afforded just one minute of playing time so far in the league this season. United boss Erik ten Hag has insisted that the 24-year-old needed to ‘earn the right’ to play for…

Tottenham travel to Old Trafford on Sunday for what promises to be a Premier League thriller with Manchester United but first they are engaged in more mundane affairs as they start their Europa League campaign. Spurs entertain Qarabag in north London and it should result in a routine victory against a side making the long hike from Azerbaijan, which will build on the 3-1 victory at home to Brentford last Saturday. That result put the smiles back on the faces of Tottenham fans after a miserable four-day span when they lost to Arsenal then needed two late goals from Djed…

Jose Mourinho says he ‘felt disrespected’ after he was forced to wait over an hour to face the press in the wake of Fenerbahce’s 3-1 defeat to arch-rivals Galatasaray at the weekend. Goals from Dominik Livakovic, Dries Mertens and Gabriel Sara sealed Galatasaray a comfortable victory in Saturday’s one-sided derby at Istanbul’s Sukru Saracoglu Stadium. It was Mourinho’s first loss in the Turkish top flight since taking charge as Fenerbahce’s new head coach to great fanfare in the summer – and ‘The Special One’ cut a frustrated figure on the touchline for the most part. In the aftermath, Mourinho was in…

Former Chelsea head coach Maurizio Sarri has been linked with a shock return to the Premier League, according to reports. Sarri spent one season at Stamford Bridge in 2018-19, guiding the Blues to victory in the Europa League as well as the final of the Carabao Cup. However, the Italian proved a divisive figure amongst the Chelsea fanbase and eventually left his post at the end of the season. The 65-year-old had a stint at Juventus but is still searching for a new job having ended his three-year spell at Lazio in March earlier this year. However, the Italian is now…
