He will now miss Saturday’s crucial clash against Newcastle.

Everton boss David Moyes has defended Mikel Arteta against criticism of Arsenal's tactics. Despite leading the Premier League, a number of rivals and pundits have hit out at the Gunners' reliance on set-pieces. Moyes, who signed ex-midfielder Arteta for the Toffees, finds this baffling - insisting that not every team can play "the beautiful game" and that dead-ball efficiency is a vital strength for any title contender, not a flaw as many critics have suggested.

Tottenham Hotspur are teetering on the brink of disaster as interim manager Igor Tudor's tenure has spiraled into a "shambolic" run of four straight defeats.

Declan Rice is considered to be a leading contender for the 2025-26 PFA Player of the Year award, but Sunderland legend Don Goodman says the Arsenal midfielder “wouldn’t have an issue” with missing out to Granit Xhaka.

Chelsea captain Reece James has officially committed his long-term future to the club by signing a massive contract extension. The academy graduate says he intends to spend his prime years at Stamford Bridge as the focal point of the Blues' ambitious project.

Paco Jemez has made a striking assessment of Adama Traore's physique, claiming that the West Ham winger resembles an NFL player rather than a footballer. Jemez described the Spaniard as a "bodybuilder in miniature," emphasising the unique physical challenges that have necessitated a rigorous training regimen. The Hammers' coaching staff, led by manager Nuno Espirito Santo, have now famously banned the explosive attacker from lifting heavy weights.

Newcastle manager Eddie Howe has launched a staunch defence of Anthony Gordon after the forward faced sharp criticism from several Premier League legends.

Howe has now moved to clarify the medical reality of the situation while hailing the England international's elite competitive mentality.

James Milner has, in an exclusive interview with GOAL, explained how blending old and new school approaches have helped to make him a history-making Premier League legend.

This landmark agreement ensures that the academy graduate will spend the prime years of his career in West London as a foundational pillar of the club's long-term project.
