Chelsea captain Reece James will miss several games after picking up a new injury. James has enjoyed a fine 2025-26 season and was expected to be named in England's squad later this week for the upcoming March internationals but he is now set for an extended period on the treatment table with a hamstring problem.

Dominik Szoboszlai has issued a blunt wake-up call to both his team-mates and the Liverpool faithful following a damaging 1-1 draw against Tottenham. The Hungarian midfielder, who opened the scoring at Anfield, expressed his deep frustration with supporters who opted to leave the stadium before the final whistle. With Liverpool's Champions League hopes hanging by a thread, Szoboszlai insisted that a fractured atmosphere is actively hindering the team’s performance.

James Milner has revealed to GOAL the “important” piece of advice that he received from former Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp while mulling over his own move into coaching. The ex-England international, who has become the Premier League’s all-time leading appearance maker, is weighing up his future options while representing Brighton at 40 years of age.

Lionel Messi was left out of Inter Miami's squad as they played out a goalless draw against Charlotte. But the decision to leave Messi out of the squad was strategic rather than injury-related as, having played the full 90 minutes against Nashville SC in the first leg of the Concacaf Champions Cup round of 16 just days prior, the Inter Miami coaching staff opted to protect their prized asset.

Argentina teammates Lionel Messi and Rodrigo De Paul were not included in Javier Mascherano’s matchday squad for Inter Miami’s road clash with Charlotte FC at Bank of America Stadium. Neither player is injured, and both were reportedly rested ahead of Miami’s second-leg meeting with Nashville SC in the CONCACAF Champions Cup.

U.S. international Josh Sargent made his long-awaited Toronto FC debut on Saturday, coming off the bench in the 70th minute for Robin Fraser’s side. The 26-year-old was welcomed with a loud roar from the BMO Field crowd and nearly made an immediate impact, but Toronto had to settle for a 1-1 draw after Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting’s late equalizer.

Chelsea are reportedly determined to reshape their defensive unit this summer and have apparently "knocked on the door" of Kim Min-jae about the possibility of him moving to Stamford Bridge. The Blues' interest in the 29-year-old comes as they look to add a veteran presence to a young squad that has struggled with consistency and injuries throughout the campaign.

Two key managers have been sacked in the third-tier leagues.

Liverpool legend Andy Robertson has been touted as a dream target for Hollywood-owned Wrexham as his career at Anfield reaches a crossroads. Despite his decorated history on Merseyside, the veteran full-back has seen his involvement plummet this season following the arrival of fresh defensive competition. While a drop to the lower leagues remains speculative, the prospect of the Scotland captain leading the Red Dragons' project has sparked significant debate.

Chelsea have been handed a massive boost by Lauren James extending her stay until 2030, hours after her brother and men's team captain Reece signed a new long-term deal until 2032. This historic double commitment ensures the James siblings remain central to the club’s ambitions, marking a monumental day for the Blues' present and future success.

Chelsea’s season hasn’t gone to plan so far. After romping to a sixth successive Women’s Super League crown last year, going unbeaten through all 22 games to set multiple records, the Blues’ title defence has fallen incredibly flat. Sat nine points behind leaders Manchester City with six games to go, it’s simply not been good enough for a club with such high standards.
