OGC Nice: Evann Guessand ruled out for Champions League

Evann Guessand Bad news for Ivorian international Evann Guessand. The player has been ruled out for the upcoming Champions League qualifying round with OGC Nice. After suffering discomfort in his knee since the friendly match against Sheffield United (3-2) last Wednesday, Evann Guessand has been declared unavailable for the first leg of the third Champions League qualifying round. The match will be against Benfica on Wednesday. However, it's hard not to suspect a feigned injury given the tense situation between the striker and the club management, frustrated by his refusal to join Neom. However, sporting director Florian Maurice clarified the situation: "As for seeing him play in the upcoming matches, right now, it's not possible because he feels pain in his knee, so he can't play. But as of today, he is still an OGC Nice player," stated the club executive.

Raiders safety suffers broken leg in collision with Maxx Crosby during practice

Las Vegas Raiders safety Lonnie Johnson Jr. suffered a broken leg in a collision with star edge rusher Maxx Crosby at practice on Saturday. During a run play, running back Raheem Moster, who joined the Raiders this offseason, sprinted to the right. He was tackled by Crosby, who then accidentally rolled on the back Johnson's leg. Johnson immediately clutched his right leg, and the medical staff placed him on a cart after evaluating the situation on the Allegiant Stadium turf, which was seen in a video posted by ESPN. Raiders new head coach Pete Carroll told reporters that it was initially a "lower leg injury," though he didn't have all the details. Further reports indicate Johnson suffered a fractured fibula. While Johnson's status hasn't been made official by the Raiders, he did allude to its seriousness in posts on X. "Imma soldier chin up chest out," Johnson posted. "God got me." He also jokingly wrote on Sunday, "I wonder if I can get a handicap sticker now," with laughing emojis. This is Johnson's seventh year in the NFL after being taken by the Houston Texans in the second round of the 2019 NFL Draft. Despite the high draft choice, the Texans moved on after three seasons with Johnson. Since then, he played for the Tennessee Titans, New Orleans Saints and Carolina Panthers. Through 83 career games, Johnson has tallied four interceptions, 199 combined tackles and 15 combined tackles. Johnson recently said that, when he signed his one-year deal with the Raiders, Carroll was "blowing up my phone" and eventually told him he'd been trying for years to get him in the building. It was reported by ESPN that Johnson was getting first-team defensive reps while three safeties were spotted on the field, so this could be a considerable blow to the team. Johnson was expected to play in a rotational role this season.
