Patidar was in excellent form prior to picking up the niggle. He started the Ranji season with a double century against Punjab, also scoring two centuries and two half-centuries during the course of a title-winning run as Central Zone captain in the season-opening Duleep Trophy.SMAT 2025-26 will be his first white-ball games since the conclusion of IPL 2025, where he led Royal Challengers Bengaluru to their maiden title. Since then, Patidar has been elevated to all-format captaincy for his state side, replacing Shubham Sharma.MP were runners-up in the previous SMAT season, with Patidar contributing significantly to their campaign. He was the second highest run-getter, hitting 428 runs in nine innings at a strike rate of 186.08. Patidar’s 27 sixes were the most that season.

O valor representa uma marca histórica para o Peixe. Essa renda superou os R$ 2.026.735 arrecadados na partida diante do São Bernardo, no Morumbis, quando mais de 50 mil torcedores foram ao estádio do São Paulo.
Além disso, os mais de R$ 3 milhões conseguidos pelo Santos contra o Bragantino representam cifras superiores do que todo valor arrecadado pelo clube nos jogos do Paulistão nas edições de 2023, 2022 e 2019.

خاض الفريق الأول لكرة القدم بنادي ريال مدريد مباراة قوية أمام نظيره مانشسر سيتي ضمن منافسات دوري أبطال أوروبا.
وواجه ريال مدريد فريق مانشستر سيتي مساء الأربعاء في إطار منافسات الجولة السادسة من مرحلة الدوري لبطولة دوري أبطال أوروبا.
واستضاف ملعب “سانتياجو برنابيو” مباراة ريال مدريد ومانشستر سيتي في مباراة كانت مثيرة وممتعة لجمهور كلا الناديين.
وفاز مانشستر سيتي بقيادة بيب جوارديولا على ريال مدريد بقيادة تشابي ألونسو بهدفين مقابل هدف.

بتلك النتيجة، يحتل ريال مدريد المركز السابع برصيد 12 نقطة، فيما وصل مانشستر سيتي إلى المركز الرابع برصيد 13 نقطة. فرص ريال مدريد في التأهل إلى دور الـ16 من دوري أبطال أوروبا
بالمقارنة مع نسخة الموسم الماضي من مرحلة الدوري لبطولة دوري أبطال أوروبا، احتاجت الفرق إلى 16 نقطة على الأقل من أجل ضمان التأهل مباشرة إلى دور الـ16 من البطولة، ويمكن قياس ذلك على الموسم الحالي.
ريال مدريد لديه الآن 12 نقطة في المركز السابع بجدول ترتيب مرحلة الدوري لبطولة دوري أبطال أوروبا وتتبقى له جولتين، ويعني هذا أن فرصة الفريق الملكي في التأهل مباشرةً لدور الـ16 تعتبر جيدة إلى حد ما.
لا يحتاج ريال مدريد سوء فوز وتعادل على الأقل لكي يتمكن من إحراز 16 نقطة، وبالنظر إلى مواجهاته المقبلة فسيلاقي فريق ألونسو كلًا من موناكو على ملعب سانتياجو برنابيو ويختتم مشواره في مرحلة الدوري بمواجهة بنفيكا بقيادة مورينيو في البرتغال.
وتتأهل الفرق التي تحتل المركز الأول إلى الثامن، بشكل مباشر إلى دور الـ16 من البطولة، على أن يخوض الذين يحتلون المراكز من التاسع إلى الرابع والعشرين، مرحلة الملحق، والتي تتمثل في مباراتي ذهاب وإياب وفقًا للقرعة.
It seems like Manchester United will focus the next stage of their rebuild on the midfield. There are a few players who have futures up in the air, at least in the short term. One of those is Casemiro, whose contract expires in the summer, and it is unclear at this stage if he will extend his deal at Old Trafford.
The other player who might not have a clear future at United is Kobbie Mainoo. He has been underused by Ruben Amorim this season, and could depart the club on loan in January, with Napoli one side who could make a move.
If they do leave, there are a few midfielders from within the Premier League that United could target.
United’s main midfield target
A recent report from TEAMTalk suggests that United have three names on their shortlist when it comes to a new midfielder. All of those currently play in the Premier League, with Brighton’s Carlos Baleba and Crystal Palace’s Adam Wharton two of those players.
Transfer Focus
Mega money deals, controversial moves and big-name flops. This is the home of transfer news and opinion across Football FanCast.
The third man is someone who is one of the most highly rated midfielders in the Premier League right now.
TEAMtalk report that the Red Devils ‘would like to seal a deal’ for Nottingham Forest midfielder Elliot Anderson as one of their key targets in the middle of the park.
This will not be a straightforward deal to do, with the England international a player of interest to former club Newcastle United, too.
However, the Red Devils are showing a keen interest and could look to get a £60m deal over the line. Forest, however, would want closer to £80m if this move were to go ahead.
Man Utd's perfect Carrick successor
There is no doubt that 23-year-old Anderson is one of the most exciting midfielders in England. Described by Thomas Tuchel as “one of the best midfielders in the Premier League”, he’s seemingly secured a spot in the German’s starting lineup for the 2026 World Cup.
He has been exceptional this season in the middle of the park for Forest. In a campaign of great turmoil where they’ve had three different managers, the 23-year-old has been incredibly consistent, playing 14 games, scoring and assisting once.
That included a superb assist for Chris Wood on the opening day of the season.
His underlying numbers also reflect just how well he has played. The boyhood Newcastle star ranks in the top 1% of Premier League midfielders for several key metrics, including progressive passes per 90 minutes, of which he’s played 8.82, and ball recoveries, completing 8.36 each game.

Stats from FBref
There are certainly similarities between Anderson and one of the all-time great midfielders in United’s history, Michael Carrick.
The former England international was metronomic at the heart of the Red Devils midfield for many years, shining under Sir Alex Ferguson especially.
He made 464 appearances for the 13-time Premier League champions, winning five of those league titles and one Champions League.
He even chipped in from the base of midfield with 24 goals and 35 assists.
He was a player highly rated by teammates, with Gary Neville saying he brought “authority, control, peace” to the pitch. This is certainly similar to Anderson, who, as the numbers show, is a true controller in the midfield, able to dictate play at will.
Anderson, it feels like, could bring a similar level of composure to the United midfield that Carrick did all those years ago. England boss Tuchel thinks highly of him, describing him as “a very complete, mobile central midfielder.”
However, it is not just their playstyle that is eerily similar. Carrick was born and raised in the North East, just like Anderson, with the pair growing up in close geographical areas. There are a few fair connections between the duo.
In signing Anderson, United could be adding their new Carrick to the middle of the park. He could certainly bring the same sort of brilliance on the ball and tenacity without it that their former number 16 did during his time at the club.

كشفت تقارير إعلامية اليوم الخميس، عن وجود تطورات جديدة متعلقة بمستقبل موهبة نادي ريال مدريد وحقيقة انتقاله إلى الدوري الألماني الممتاز خلال الفترة المقبلة.
ويرتبط عدد من اللاعبين بالرحيل عن صفوف ريال مدريد خلال فترة الميركاتو الشتوي المقبل في يناير، في ظل عدم مشاركتهم بشكل منتظم مع النادي الإسباني.
ويأتي على رأس هؤلاء اللاعبين جونزالو جارسيا، موهبة ريال مدريد الشابة، والذي يعتبر من أهم اللاعبين الشباب في إسبانيا خلال الفترة الأخيرة.
ويلعب جارسيا في مركز المهاجم الصريح بجانب الجناحين الأيمن والأيسر، وقدم أوراق اعتماده مع ريال مدريد خلال مسابقة كأس العالم للأندية الأخيرة في الولايات المتحدة الأمريكية.

وذكر صحفي شبكة “سكاي سبورتس” فلوريان بليتينبيرج، أن جارسيا مطلوب بالفعل في الدوري الألماني، حيث يرغب شتوتجارت في ضم اللاعب البالغ من العمر 21 عامًا خلال فترة الميركاتو الشتوي المقبل.
وأضاف بليتينبيرج في حديثه، أن شتوتجارت يحلم بضم جارسيا، حيث يعتبر اللاعب الشاب حلمًا بالنسبة للنادي الألماني وقد جرت بالفعل مفاوضات لضمه، لكن الصفقة تبدو صعبة للغاية.
وأوضح بليتينبيرج، أن جارسيا على الأرجح مستمر مع ريال مدريد، ويرتبط بعقد مع الفريق الملكي إلى نهاية موسم 2030 المقبل.
وشارك جارسيا بشكل أساسي خلال لقاء ريال مدريد ومانشستر سيتي يوم أمس الأربعاء في دوري أبطال أوروبا بدلًا من كيليان مبابي المصاب، حيث انتهت هذه المباراة بخسارة الميرنجي 2-1.
Weatherley was accompanied by India batter Tilak Varma as Hampshire chased down 286
ECB Reporters Network supported by Rothesay 07-Aug-2025
Joe Weatherley struck a career-best century•Getty Images
Hampshire 288 for 5 (Weatherley 116*, Varma 54) beat Essex 285 (Allison 80, Neal 2-44) by 5 wicketsJoe Weatherley classily struck his third Metro Bank One-Day Cup men’s competition hundred as Hampshire beat Essex at Utilita Bowl.Weatherley provided the backbone to a well-managed chase of 286 – after Charlie Allison, Tom Westley and Robin Das all posted half-centuries for Essex.Tilak Varma also reached the landmark, but it was Weatherley’s personal best unbeaten 116 – his first century in two years – that made sure Hampshire made it two wins from two, while Essex remain winless.Hampshire stuck Essex into bat and almost immediately struck as Kyle Abbott drew an outside edge out of Matt Critchley.Robin Das and Tom Westley set the innings into place with a 99-run stand in double-quick time, the pair peppering the boundary in their better-than-a-run-a-ball half-centuries.But a middle-over squeeze slowed the run-rate and brought a succession of regular wickets.Left-arm spinner Andrew Neal broke the Das/Westley alliance when Das clipped off-balance to midwicket, before Westley followed when Tilak Varma brilliantly caught him at short fine leg.Luc Benkenstein slashed to short cover, Noah Thain powered to midwicket, and Nick Browne drove to first slip to hand Abbott his second.At 189 for 6 in the 35th over, the visitors were in danger of a seriously under-par score but Allison and Simon Fernandes revved things back into life with a no thrills partnership.Allison has had a stand-out 2025 having scored three centuries in the Rothesay County Championship, and continued that form with an unhurried 80.Fernandes had begun his One-Day Cup campaign with an unbeaten 46, and followed that with 41. But as the pair looked to accelerate Essex suffered their second slump to get bowled out for 285.Both fell in back-to-back deliveries, both caught trying to go big, while Shane Snater was bowled and Jamie Porter was caught behind.The hosts needed to go at under a run-a-ball and they stuck to that mission like a limpet.Ali Orr and Nick Gubbins eased through the new ball until the former fell to the final ball of the powerplay when Charlie Bennett bowled a snorter to get a tickle behind.Gubbins followed his century against Glamorgan with 40 but top-edged a sweep to short fine but Hampshire gained control through Tilak Varma and Weatherley.The pair put on 98 to take a huge bite into the target. Indian Varma was mostly circumspect apart from crisp shots down the ground and an incredible reverse six.He was bowled trying to charge Westley having reached a fifty before Tom Prest gifted Westley his third wicket – he returned three for 39.Weatherley had a strong Vitality Blast before a successful return to the Championship side, and oozed class throughout his innings.He dominated a 47-run partnership with Ben Mayes and then joined with Felix Organ to rush to the winning line.Weatherley reached three figures with a luscious strike through long on as part of three boundaries in a row which took the runs required to single figures. A six in the following over secured the points.

Aceitar a derrota, por mais dolorida que ela seja, é o primeiro passo a ser dado por quem almeja se reerguer. Vale lembrar que, no ano passado, sofremos uma dura eliminação na semifinal da Libertadores, mas a superamos rapidamente porque tivemos autocrítica e não terceirizamos culpas.
Em vez de administrar um momento de instabilidade com a frieza que se espera de um empresário, porém, Textor prefere se portar como um caricato cartola à moda antiga.
Ressaltamos o nosso mais profundo respeito pelo Botafogo de Futebol e Regatas, clube centenário com o qual tivemos o privilégio de disputar, em 2023, um dos mais emocionantes Brasileiros da história.”
