Real Madrid dealt fresh injury blow
La Liga giants Real Madrid have late this week been dealt a fresh blow on the personnel front.
This comes amid confirmation that defensive star David Alaba has suffered a setback in his ongoing efforts to recover from injury.

Stopper Alaba has for his part been sidelined since back in April, after his long-awaited return from an ACL injury was followed first by an adductor problem, and then a meniscus issue in his left knee.
The Austrian had spent recent weeks closing on a return to the pitch, with a view to making himself available for pre-season training.
As alluded to above, however, this weekend, such hopes on Alaba's part have been dashed.
This comes amid confirmation on the part of the reliable Arancha Rodríguez of COPE that the former Bayern Munich man has picked up yet another injury:
'Alaba will be sidelined for another month due to a muscle injury in the soleus of the left leg.'

🎥 Reliving Paulo César's worldie for PSG on his birthday
Brazilians, flair, and PSG; a match made in heaven. From the likes of Ronaldinho and Neymar to Lucas Moura, Thiago Silva, Marquinhos, and Raí, connections between the City of Light and Joba Bonito remain strong. Advertisement But few outside of the club's fanbase will remember versatile defender Paulo César despite spending five seasons in the French capital. The former Brazilian international and now assistant coach for PSG's U19 Women's side, Cesar's high-water mark at the club came on a night 23 years ago when he bagged a stunner against Guingamp. One of two goals the São Paulo native would score that night at the Parc des Princes from his right-sided birth, César's close control and cheeky flick just before smashing his long-range effort past Ronan Le Crom was one of the goals of the season in Ligue 1. Advertisement Viewed fondly to this day as a former player and as a current staff member, you'll struggle to find many individual efforts better than this. Joyeux anniversaire, Paulo! 📸 MARTIN BUREAU

How the Club World Cup has seen a unexpected flurry of red cards
The knockout rounds of the Club World Cup begin this weekend, starting with Palmeiras and Botafogo returning to Philadelphia's Lincoln Financial Field just two days after 64,811 fans withstood the pouring rain to watch Vinicius Junior come alive with Real Madrid. Everyone's hoping for some magic in the round of 16 and, if the group stage matches were any indication, we can expect plenty more drama too. Advertisement With the final whistle of group play now behind us, one of the major talking points from this competition so far has been the volume of disciplinary action handed down by referees. Across 48 games so far, 10 red cards have been issued. River Plate's disappointing exit fueled the conversation even further, with Marcos Acuna's heated exchange with Inter Milan's Denzel Dumfries serving as the powder keg that set off tensions on the pitch even after the final whistle. While it's correct to say this year's Club World Cup has yielded nearly as many red cards in the group stage as the previous three editions combined, doing so without the necessary context could be misleading. That's because this summer's Club World Cup is the first to feature 32 teams, a dramatic increase from the seven in 2023, which skews most comparisons. Still, this group stage begs the question: Why are we seeing so much red? Is the competition more physical than usual? Is it pure coincidence that half the players who received red cards play in Argentina? How does this Club World Cup compare to other 32-team competitions, like recent World Cups? Advertisement We explore these topics below, and more. Who has seen red? The first red card of the tournament came on its second day when Atletico Madird's Clement Lenglet earned his marching orders against Paris Saint-Germain. The most recent came on Wednesday when River Plate duo Lucas Martinez Quarta and Gonzalo Montiel were both sent off in that fiery encounter with Inter. Red cards have been issued to: Clement Lenglet, Atletico Madrid; Jorge Figal, Boca Juniors; Andrea Belotti, Benfica; Ander Herrera, Boca Juniors; Rico Lewis, Man City; Nicholas Jackson, Chelsea; Kevin Castano, River Plate; Raul Asencio, Real Madrid; Lucas Martinez Quarta, River Plate; Gonzalo Montiel, River Plate. What do the numbers say? While the sport's data revolution hasn't changed how we track disciplinary records, the counting numbers often tell an illuminating story. Advertisement To compare the strictness of officiating in this Club World Cup, we surveyed the group stages of the five most recent men's World Cups, as well as the 2023-24 UEFA Champions League. Some stats don't seem too out of sorts — for example, referees are showing one yellow card for every 6.96 fouls this summer, nearly identical to the 6.93 fouls/yellow clip seen in Qatar. Note that the table below is for each game rather than for individual teams per game. We're looking at how often whistles are blown and cards are shown, regardless of who the infractor was. All data pulled from TruMedia via StatsPerform (Opta). Despite this tournament's branding, it's wise to think of it more in line with the Champions League — or any other club competition — than the international game's biggest tournament. You can also see VAR's impact, with its Big Brother-esque surveillance holding players accountable. After 13 players were sent off in the group stage of the 2010 men's World Cup and nine were shown red in 2014, both the 2018 and 2022 installments saw just three and two dismissals respectively. To illustrate it on a rate basis, that's a a dismissal for every 431.7 fouls in 2018 and every 579 fouls in 2022. Advertisement That's a far more lenient clip than what we saw in 2010 (a dismissal after every 113.4 fouls) and 2014 (151.9). Even with 10 ejections in this Club World Cup, the ensuing rate of 118.3 is very similar to what we saw at the final Champions League with a group-and-knockout format (109.3). The past decade of the club game has also seen significant changes to what draws a red card. Only recently was one player touching an opponent's face seen as an indisputable red card offense. Time-wasting draws more yellows, from goalkeepers dawdling about with restarts to players kicking a ball away from a rival after the whistle blows. The slo-mo nature of VAR also elevates more 'clear yellows' into 'soft reds', arguably, though everything about that process remains as subjective as the on-field officiating. At this tournament, we've seen players clearly motivated by the lucrative prize pot. The red hot American summer may also be elevating tempers and teams had no precedent for what to expect in a 32-team Club World Cup. As this tournament can't match the singular prestige of a World Cup, perhaps players feel more emboldened to show their studs and throw elbows they'd otherwise need to restrain for their national teams. Reputations will be impacted, sure, but hardly to a comparable extent as what transpires during the sport's largest international showcase. The Argentinian outliers River Plate and Boca Juniors, the two Argentine clubs in the tournament, had five players sent off during the group stage, accounting for fully half of the total red cards during that part of the competition. Neither team advanced to the knockout stage but both sides left both positive and negative impressions on opposing managers and opponents. Advertisement Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola was in awe after watching Boca open the tournament against Benfica and Bayern Munich. 'I love when you play against South American teams… I admire how they defend,' Guardiola said. 'I watch Boca Juniors go after every ball and it's like… wow, it's the end of the world (for them).' Bayern head coach Vincent Kompany echoed Guardiola. 'It was not easy because we played against an aggressive team, with a lot of passion,' he said after the German club defeated Boca 2-1 in Miami on June 20. Kompany added that playing against a team like Boca forced his players to maintain your composure. He's right. The aggressive nature of South American football is meant to unsettle the opposition. It's one way to level the playing field when the opponent is clearly better on paper. Whether it's a series of tactical fouls or a fair challenge that sends a message, the intent is to draw the opponent into their head space. The risk, of course, is being punished by the referee. So what next? As the stakes increase in the knockout stage, the coming days will give an indication as to whether the steady stream of red cards is likely to continue. With a competition that is essentially new, it is difficult to predict how things will play out. The further we get into the bracket, the potential to create some history by winning the first Club World Cup on this scale, and to secure the highest share of a monumental prize fund, becomes very real. Advertisement While predicting a red card recipient is a fool's errand, if you're seeking a potential candidate, how about Botafogo's Gregore, who (hat tip to 's Duncan Alexander for the info) personally conceded three more fouls (16) in the group stage than the entire Auckland City team across its three matches. Perhaps it would be wrong to move on though without a final word for River Plate, who treated their vow of physicality with the utmost seriousness. River became the first ever side to receive three red cards in a single edition of the Club World Cup, and, before departing, also topped the group -stage charts for both fouls conceded and total cards.

Thierry Neuville slams Hankook tyres at WRC Acropolis Rally
Thierry Neuville has said the World Rally Championship's Hankook control tyres are 'not on the level' they should be after suffering a series of problems during Acropolis Rally Greece. The reigning world champion cut a frustrated figure on Friday after suffering punctures in back-to-back stages, resulting in the Belgian dropping from the rally lead to eighth. Advertisement Neuville wasn't the only driver to suffer tyre problems: all of the Rally1 field, except his Hyundai team-mate Adrien Fourmaux, either picked up tyre damage or punctures while navigating through the rough gravel stages. To make matters worse for Neuville, a slow puncture to his right rear cost him time in Saturday's stage eight before going on to pick up tyre damage on the left rear in the next stage. Despite the problems, Neuville managed to climb ahead of Toyota's Kalle Rovanpera to seventh overall. Neuville was still frustrated though, telling the end of stage nine reporter: "The tyres are not on the level. If you see why we puncture, it's just insane. 'Playing on that level with such a product is not possible. We get punished all the time for nothing, it's not fun. It's just luck that decides. We keep on going and make up some ground.' Thierry Neuville, Martijn Wydaeghe, Hyundai World Rally Team Hyundai i20 N Rally1 Thierry Neuville, Martijn Wydaeghe, Hyundai World Rally Team Hyundai i20 N Rally1 Neuville elaborated further on the matter once he reached the service park: 'Yesterday, one of the tyres wasn't even punctured at the end. For a few seconds, it jumped around and let the air out and we put the pressure back in it last night and the tyre stayed full pressure overnight. Advertisement 'It is just a manufacturing, reliability issue and that is not how we should fight for the world championship and it is the same for the punctures. "This morning it wasn't visible where the tyre was losing air. It was a really small hole and I have never seen this before, it is really insane. I have had more punctures now than I had all last year. They [Hankook] have big work to do.' This is Hankook's first year as the WRC's control tyre supplier having taken over the contract that was previously held by Pirelli. The Korean tyre manufacturer has so far attracted limited criticism having produced a tyre that has been durable at the majority of events this year. However, this weekend's Acropolis, round seven of 2025, has arguably proved to be the tyre brand's toughest test yet. Conditions for this season's event, moved from September back to a traditional June date, have been much rougher than previous years, exacerbated by a prolonged period without rainfall to compact the roads. Hankook responds to Neuville's concerns Responding to Neuville's comments, Hankook's spokesperson Steven Cho told 'We absolutely share his [Neuville's] frustration. I think he has had more than his fair share of issues. Thierry Neuville, Martijn Wydaeghe, Hyundai World Rally Team Hyundai i20 N Rally1 Thierry Neuville, Martijn Wydaeghe, Hyundai World Rally Team Hyundai i20 N Rally1 "Coming to Greece we knew it would be the biggest challenge of the season, and from what we understand it is even harsher from a temperature and stage perspective than what we have seen in the past few years. We knew it would be a massive challenge and it has proved to be. Advertisement 'As this is our first year our focus was to come [to the WRC] with a conservative approach to make sure our tyres are as robust as possible, and I think we have seen up until now, generally, we have been ok. Of course we are not complacent about it and in motorsport things can always be better, and so we will continue to push but we knew this was going to be challenging. 'Moving forward we have developments that we are working on closely with the manufacturers as well as the FIA, and our plan is definitely not to stand still. But at the same time we need to find the appropriate time to bring those. We have multiple things in the process of development. 'Delaminations is something that we didn't like to see for sure. There are different types of tyre problems, there is the basic impact or basic debeading from a lateral impact. The delaminations are a combination of the extreme heat we are seeing here and also the very abrasive surfaces that are compounding that problem. This is something we will look seriously at to avoid those. 'As far as the issues we have seen here, that to a certain extent are a little bit unavoidable and to a certain extent expected, we will look at the data and see how we can come back stronger next year.'
