The lowdown on UEFA Women's EURO 2025 Day 5️⃣
The Women's EURO moves into its second round of group games on Sunday. Here are our headlines from day 4 and what to look ahead to on day 5. Before we get into today's action, what happened yesterday? ⏪ The Netherlands kicked off their Group D campaign with a rousing 3-0 win over tournament debutants Wales to surge to the summit after the opening game. Advertisement Meanwhile, holders England suffered a 2-1 defeat to France in Zurich 📸 SEBASTIEN BOZON - AFP or licensors Who is playing today? 👀 Norway will aim to build on their opening Group A victory when they take on fellow high flyers Finland at Sion's Stade Tourbillon. Elsewhere in the group, hosts Switzerland are seeking to get their first points of the tournament against Iceland in Bern. Player to watch 🔍 Switzerland may have faltered in their curtain raiser against Norway but have a secret weapon in Géraldine Reuteler, who was Player of the Match on Thursday. The Eintracht Frankfurt midfielder topped her country's attacking statistics and hit the crossbar early on, proving she is a potent threat from the engine room.

Should the Swiss lose to Iceland and see Finland avoid defeat to Norway, their chances of reaching the quarter final stage of the tournament will be over. Similarly, their latest opponents could be denied hopes of reaching the knockouts if the group leaders avoid a defeat to the Finns while they lose to Pia Sundhage's side. 📸 Daniela Porcelli - 2025 Getty Images Must-watch video 🎥 Fun facts 📊 Norway are unbeaten in their last 24 outings against Finland Seven players are still in the current Switzerland and Iceland squads from their previous EUROs meeting in 2017 Our predictions 🔮 Norway 2-1 Finland Switzerland 1-1Iceland 📸 Daniela Porcelli - 2025 Getty Images

'Significant signing' or 'very underwhelming'?
We asked for your views on the signing of midfielder Thelo Aasgaard after he completed a deal to join Rangers from Luton Town. Here's what some of you had to say: Hector: Yet another signing from a team relegated to the lower divisions in England. This is patronising to the Scottish Premiership and the club's fanbase, and is obviously sub-standard for European competition at any level. Advertisement Gary: Great bit of business - stood out a mile when I have watched him play. Still young and only going to get better and I think he has a big future in the game. Bob: Brilliant signing, looking forward to seeing him score lots of goals. Wes: Super excited about this signing! He is so creative and has goals in his locker also. Scored on his international debut earlier this year for his country, and I can see him being a permanent fixture from now on. Only going to get better and better, mark my words! David: Very underwhelming signing, much the same feelings as when new manager was unveiled. Please overachieve, we need players who can walk into this team. Advertisement Brian: This is another significant signing and the indications are there's more to come. I sense Russell Martin is building a team for an eventful and hopefully successful season - Aasgaard is a real talent and we should be getting excited at seeing how quickly these new players gel to create a winning team. My only concern is the goalkeeper situation - a weak link in all this activity.

📱 Football needs you: Musiala receives plenty of support after the drama The serious injury suffered by Jamal Musiala in the Club World Cup quarterfinal match between FC Bayern and Paris Saint-Germain was a huge shock. Naturally, the 22-year-old also received a great deal of support on social media. Among others, Florian Wirtz reached out via Instagram with a short message to his friend and national team colleague. Neymar also sent his sympathy to the exceptional player. He wrote: "I hope you recover quickly, come back and shine again. Football needs you. Stay strong." Achraf Hakimi was also on the pitch during the incident and wished the Bayern star a speedy recovery in his post-match interview. "I want to support him. I hope he comes back soon and we see him on the pitch again," said the Moroccan to 'DAZN'. Advertisement Even the criticized PSG keeper Gianluigi Donnarumma spoke out on IG. "All my prayers and best wishes for a speedy recovery are with you, Jamal Musiala," wrote the Italian goalkeeper on Instagram. PSG teammate and match-winner Désiré Doué also expressed his sympathy for the German international. "Good luck and lots of patience during this ordeal," wrote the scorer of the 1:0 against Bayern on Instagram. BVB boss Lars Ricken also wished the Bayern star a speedy recovery. Oliver Kahn joined in as well. The reaction from teammate Alphonso Davies, who is currently sidelined with a serious injury himself, was particularly emotional. The Canadian watched the game live on his Twitch channel and was visibly shocked. A diagnosis is now available: Musiala has apparently broken his fibula and is scheduled to undergo surgery today immediately upon his return to Munich. According to 'Sky' and 'Bild', he is expected to be sidelined for four to five months. Advertisement This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.
