Dortmund winger julien duranville needs shoulder surgery after club world cup injury
Dortmund regards Duranville as one of its most promising young players, but his progress has repeatedly hit injury setbacks since he joined the club as a 16-year-old in 2023.
Sporting director Sebastian Kehl said the injury was all the more bitter because of the work Duranville and the club had done last season to improve his fitness. Nevertheless, we remain positive and optimistic because Julien is an outstanding talent, he added. Dortmund's opening game of the new season is just over a month away in the first round of the German Cup on Aug. 18.

Ferrari's Leclerc Beats the McLarens to Take Pole in Hungary
Charles Leclerc snatched a surprise first pole position of the year for Ferrari at the Hungarian Grand Prix on Saturday, beating both McLarens. Leclerc punched the air in delight as he climbed out of the car after beating Oscar Piastri by 0.026 of a second and the other McLaren of Lando Norris by .041, The Associated Press reported. Leclerc had consistently been the best of the rest behind the McLarens in practice but remained well off Piastri and Norris' pace. That changed in qualifying, with the help of gloomy, windy conditions that worked against the McLarens. Still, pole came as a shock. 'What?' Leclerc exclaimed over the radio when he was told he'd qualified first. It was a stark contrast with yet another frustrating day for Lewis Hamilton in the other Ferrari. Hamilton has won the Hungarian Grand Prix a record eight times but qualified 12th as the seven-time champion's troubles in his first season with Ferrari continued. 'Every time, every time,' Hamilton told the team over the radio after he qualified outside the top 10 for the second straight race. Defending champion Max Verstappen was only eighth after struggling with the balance of his Red Bull, and his teammate Yuki Tsunoda was 16th. That piles more pressure on the Japanese driver, who hasn't scored a point in six races.

Marseille sign Brazilian winger Paixão from Feyenoord to boost attacking options
MARSEILLE: Ligue 1 club Marseille have bolstered their attack by signing Brazilian winger Igor Paixão from Feyenoord in a deal that could rise to 35 million euros ($40.6 million). For the latest updates, follow us @ArabNewsSport The 25-year-old Paixão scored 18 goals in 47 games last season and was voted the Dutch player of the season. Marseille beat competition from newly promoted Premier League team Leeds to sign him. Marseille announced the deal late Friday without giving further details, but French media reports valued the deal at 30 million euros with an additional 5 million in performance-related bonuses. Marseille paid a club-record 32 million euros to Portuguese club Braga to sign forward Vitinha in early 2023. Vitinha failed to settle and scored only six goals in 43 games before being sold to Genoa. Paixão showed his full repertoire of skills during a Champions League game against AC Milan in February, scoring in a 1-0 win and giving the Milan defense a torrid time all game with his quickness. Marseille finished second in Ligue 1 last season behind Paris Saint-Germain and qualified directly for the Champions League. Marseille coach Roberto De Zerbi has made several moves in the transfer market this summer, including bringing back veteran striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang from Al-Qadsiah in the Saudi Pro League. The 36-year-old Aubameyang scored 21 goals for Al-Qadsiah last season, after having spent the 2023-24 campaign at Marseille — where he netted 30 goals overall and became a fan favorite in the southern port city. Attacking midfielder Angel Gomes joined from Lille and gritty central defender Facundo Medina arrived from Lens. The arrivals of Aubameyang and Paixão bring extra firepower to an attack that already features Mason Greenwood — who scored 21 league goals last season and Amine Gouiri. Marseille open the new Ligue 1 season when they travel all the way up the country to face Brittany-based Rennes on Aug. 15.
