MUNICH (AP) — Inter Milan defender Yann Aurel Bisseck will miss Germany's upcoming Nations League games after getting injured in the team's Champions League final loss to Paris Saint-Germain.
Bisseck only made a short appearance in Saturday's final, going on as a substitute in the 54th minute, then off again in the 62nd with an apparent right leg injury.

The German soccer federation (DFB) said Sunday that Bisseck had muscular problems at the back of his right thigh, ruling him out of the Nations League semifinal against Portugal in Munich on Wednesday, as well as the final or third-place playoff against Spain or France four days later.
Germany coach Julian Nagelsmann called up Monaco defender Thilo Kehrer in Bisseck's place. Kehrer was to join the rest of the squad Monday at its training base in Herzogenaurach.
The 28-year-old Kehrer has made 27 appearances for Germany, though none since June 2023.
Mainz midfielder Nadiem Amiri left the camp Saturday and will miss the games with what the DFB said were 'adductor problems.'

Nagelsmann had previously called up Mainz forward Jonathan Burkardt to replace the injured Stuttgart midfielder Angelo Stiller.
Stiller wasn't fully fit but was involved in three of Stuttgart's four goals as it defeated Arminia Bielefeld 4-2 in the German Cup final.

Medvedev loses at Wimbledon in another first-round Grand Slam exit
LONDON (AP) — Ninth-seeded Daniil Medvedev is out of another Grand Slam tournament in the first round after losing to 64th-ranked Benjamin Bonzi 7-6 (2), 3-6, 7-6 (3), 6-2 at Wimbledon on Monday. The 2.01-meter (6-foot-6) Russian, a semifinalist at the All England Club the last two years, also exited the French Open in the first round. And that followed a second-round loss at the Australian Open to 19-year-old qualifier Learner Tien. Advertisement 'For the moment, I'm not that worried,' said Medvedev, who is ranked No. 9. 'If I finish the year somewhere around (No.) 15 in the world, maybe I will be more worried. For the moment, I am not.' The last time Medvedev lost consecutive Grand Slam first-round matches was in 2017 — at Melbourne Park in his major tournament debut, followed by Roland-Garros. Medvedev lost in five sets to Cameron Norrie in Paris this year. In 2023, the Russian was seeded No. 2 at Roland-Garros and lost in the first round to Thiago Seyboth Wild, a qualifier who was ranked 172nd at the time. ___ AP tennis: The Associated Press

Brad Pitt Achieves Career-High with 'F1''s $144 Million Global Box Office Debut
F1 made an estimated $144 million at the international box office in its opening weekend For star Brad Pitt, it is now the biggest opening weekend of his career F1 is on track to become a summer box-office hit à la Top Gun: Maverick, which was also directed by Joseph KrasinskiBrad Pitt's latest film is racing to summer blockbuster status — and already became the movie star's biggest opening weekend to date! F1 made an estimated $55.6 million in North America in its opening weekend and racked in $144 million worldwide, the Associated Press reported. With these figures, the Pitt-led sports drama became Apple's biggest opening to date — and the Oscar winner, 61, was a huge part of that, according to a Warner Bros. executive. The studio, which partnered with Apple to distribute F1, anticipated that it would perform well outside of the United States given the titular sport's international popularity, per the AP. But Pitt was the film's 'secret sauce,' said Warner Bros. Distribution Chief Jeffrey Goldstein. After F1's $144 million global debut, Zack Van Amburg, head of worldwide video for Apple, shared a statement about the film's 'outstanding' opening weekend. 'The film's outstanding debut reflects both the excitement of Formula 1,' Van Amburg said, per the AP, 'and the deeply emotional and entertaining story crafted by the entire cast and creative team. Their dedication and innovation have fueled an unforgettable cinematic experience." In F1, Pitt stars as Sonny Hayes, a washed-up Formula 1 driver. Enlisted by his longtime friend and former teammate Ruben Cervantes (Javier Bardem), Sonny joins struggling Formula 1 team APXGP, where he clashes with cocky rookie Joshua Pearce (Damson Idris) while trying to get the team on the podium for the first time ever. And to say that Pitt loved getting behind the wheel for the film may be a bit of an understatement, according to producer Jerry Bruckheimer. The Oscar winner "couldn't wait to get" behind the wheel from the get-go, Bruckheimer, 81, previously told PEOPLE. And when filming concluded after two years, "We had to tear him out of the car,' the producer recalled. "The saddest day for Brad was when we said, 'It's a wrap,' and he had to climb out of the car," said Bruckheimer. "He just loved it. They both [did]. They had the best time."

Wimbledon: University of San Diego's British player Tarvet navigates NIL and NCAA rules after win
Associated Press LONDON (AP) — Oliver Tarvet used to come to Wimbledon as a kid from his hometown about 1 1/2 hours away to watch his favorite sport and dream of a chance to play tennis on its manicured grass courts. After winning his Grand Slam debut Monday as a qualifier ranked 733rd, the University of San Diego senior-to-be discussed navigating various NIL (name, image and likeness) and NCAA rules now that he earned about $135,000 (99,000 pounds). He explained that he needs to write off costs that can get his prize-money earnings below $10,000 so he can remain eligible to play in college when he gets back to California. 'Maybe I hire someone to help me out with the expenses," said Tarvet, who beat Leandro Riedi of Switzerland 6-4, 6-4, 6-4. "Make sure the NCAA are happy.' Tarvet made plenty of folks happy in the stands at Court 4 — and certain shouts kept catching his attention. 'Today was pretty funny, because I would hear this voice that would be familiar. I'd quickly give a glance — it would be my old coach when I was 10 or 11. Or my old friend (from) when I was just young. (A) player that I played when I was a little kid,' said the 21-year-old Tarvet, a communications major in school. 'It was nice kind of seeing these familiar faces, them coming out to support me. Obviously, gave me a lot of energy, a lot of motivation, to go out there and win.' His parents were there. So were the head coach, Ryan Keckley, and an assistant, Alex Funkhouser, from USD's tennis team. Tarvet changed into school gear — a hat and a T-shirt — following the win. He's been the West Coast Conference player of the year the past two seasons. Next could come even more attention: Tarvet's opponent in the second round might be two-time defending champion Carlos Alcaraz, who was facing Fabio Fognini at Centre Court on Monday. Tarvet frustrated his foe Monday both with what Riedi called 'mind games," delaying the starts of some games, and, more so, terrific tennis. Over the last two sets, Tarvet made a total of five unforced errors. Riedi accumulated 34 in that span. 'That sums it up. He was a wall. A huge wall. He moved unbelievable on grass. He was sliding everywhere. The passing shot he was producing was mind-blowing," Riedi said. 'Served pretty well. He was a clutch player today. If he can continue like this, you're going to hear a lot (about) him.' ___ AP Sports Writer Ken Maguire contributed to this report. ___ AP tennis: in this topic
