Luke Donald - Europe's 2023 winning captain - will again lead the side and has named Thomas Bjorn, Edoardo Molinari and Jose Maria Olazabal as vice-captains. The trio all served as vice-captains to Donald in Rome.

Wolves signs Colombia forward Jhon Arias from Fluminense
WOLVERHAMPTON, Englans (AP) — Premier League side Wolverhampton has completed the signing of Colombia forward Jhon Arias from Brazilian club Fluminense on a four-year deal, with the option of a further 12 months. The 27-year-old Arias impressed at the Club World Cup this summer, helping Fluminense reach the semifinals. Financial terms were not disclosed. According to the BBC, Wolves signed him for an initial 15 million pounds ($20 million) plus a further 4 million pounds in add-ons, which includes European qualification. Arias, who has won 31 caps, is Wolves' second signing of the summer following attacking midfielder Fer Lopez from Spanish La Liga side Celta Vigo on a five-year contract. ___ AP soccer: The Associated Press

Juventus' Douglas Luiz to face disciplinary action after not reporting to training
Juventus midfielder Douglas Luiz is set to face disciplinary action after not reporting to training on Thursday. The Italian side returned to training ahead of the 2025-26 campaign after their pre-season preparations were delayed due to their Club World Cup participation. However, Luiz was not present and now will face retrospective action from the club, sources with knowledge of the situation told The Athletic. Advertisement Luiz joined Juventus last summer in a €50million (£42.3m; $53.6m) plus add-ons move from Aston Villa, signing a five-year deal. However, the Brazil international made just 19 Serie A appearances last campaign, with just three of those games being starts, and has been linked with a move away from the club. The 27-year-old played only once in Juventus' four Club World Cup games, coming on as a half-time substitute in their 5-0 win over Al-Ain to open their group stage. The Athletic previously reported Manchester City's interest in a loan deal for the Brazilian in January. Juventus' preference was a sale or loan with an obligation to buy, and a deal never materialised. Luiz's sale last summer came as Villa needed to sell a first-team player for substantial profit to help fund further spending and avoid breaching Premier League profitability and sustainability rules (PSR). In a parallel transaction, Villa signed winger Samuel Iling-Junior and midfielder Enzo Barrenechea from Juventus before both left the club on loan. Welcome back, guys! 👋 @Jeep_People — JuventusFC 🇬🇧🇺🇸 (@juventusfcen) July 24, 2025 Luiz made more than 200 appearances in five seasons with Villa after spending the previous two years with La Liga side Girona. Juventus begin their pre-season with a friendly against Reggiana on August 2. They begin their Serie A campaign against Parma on August 24. Igor Tudor's side announced the permanent signing of Francisco Conceicao from Porto on Tuesday, with Samuel Mbangula's sale to Werder Bremen confirmed on Wednesday.

Max Verstappen says Christian Horner exit won't influence his Red Bull future
SPA, Belgium — Max Verstappen has said the departure of Red Bull Formula One chief Christian Horner will have no influence on any decision about his future with the team. Red Bull announced three days after the British Grand Prix that Horner had been relieved of his duties after more than 20 years in charge of the team. No official reason was given for Horner's dismissal, but it came following a decline in Red Bull's form through this season, leaving it set for its worst championship finish in 10 years. Advertisement Verstappen has led Red Bull's efforts throughout this season, scoring 165 of its 172 points, including victories at Suzuka and Imola against the quicker McLaren cars. But his hopes of defending his title look slim as he sits third in the standings at the halfway point in the season, 69 points adrift from Oscar Piastri. The Dutchman has a contract at Red Bull through to 2028, but has been linked with a potential switch to Mercedes as early as next year. Toto Wolff, Mercedes' team principal, said last month there was 'very little probability' of Verstappen joining for 2026, but has referred to 'conversations' taking place. Speaking to reporters at Spa on Thursday, Verstappen said the team shareholders had 'decided they wanted to steer the ship in a different direction,' and that he found out 'half a day' before the news went public two weeks ago. When asked if Horner's exit would impact any decision to stay with Red Bull, Verstappen replied: 'No, it doesn't really.' He added: 'I don't think it will matter at all for my decision in the future. The only thing that matters is that we work on the car and make it as fast as we can make it, really. 'The last one-and-a-half years have not been what we want to be. Now we try and be more competitive this year a little bit, but for sure also with the new regulations (in 2026).' Verstappen has stayed coy on his future, dodging opportunities at the Austrian Grand Prix last month to firmly state he would be racing for Red Bull next year. He again deflected a question about there being a decision to make on his future and the possibility he may not race for Red Bull next year, saying: 'There is also a possibility I don't wake up tomorrow! So then there is no driving at all. Life is unpredictable. But, in general, I'm very happy where I'm at. I hope … And that was still, the target that we set out when we signed the new deal, that I would drive here until the end of my career.' Horner's sudden exit came after a turbulent 18 months at Red Bull, stretching back to an internal investigation after allegations of inappropriate behavior were made against Horner by a female member of staff in February 2024. The grievance was dismissed following the investigation, a decision later upheld on appeal. Horner had always denied the allegations. Advertisement Verstappen's father, Jos, was publicly critical of Horner last year in the wake of the initial investigation, saying Red Bull risked being 'torn apart' if he remained in charge. Verstappen still managed to win the drivers' title for a fourth consecutive year, but Red Bull missed out on the constructors' championship for the first time since 2021, ending the year third in the teams' standings. Asked by The Athletic if he was surprised by Horner's exit, Verstappen said: 'At the end of the day, I think in this world, things like that, they can happen. 'And when (the shareholders) told me, it's not like they just said, 'This is what we just decided,' and then they hung up the phone, you know, you have a conversation about it. Now I don't need to go into detail what they said, but I said, 'OK, if you guys think that this is the way forward, I'm the driver, you decide,' and this is how we're going to do it.' Horner's replacement is Laurent Mekies, who served as the team principal of Racing Bulls, Red Bull's sister F1 team, from the start of 2024, having previously held senior roles at Ferrari and the FIA, motorsport's global governing body. Verstappen said he'd already had 'quite a few meetings' with Mekies and that he was excited to work with him, noting the Frenchman was 'incredibly motivated, and I like that. You can see the fire. Of course he's new in the role, but, yeah, it's exciting.' Although Verstappen said that 'it doesn't make sense' looking at the past as 'it's not going to make you faster,' he did express appreciation for Horner's contributions to Red Bull. He said their relationship was unchanged, and that they had spoken since his departure.'Of course, he's not here now during a race weekend, but it's still like a second family to me,' Verstappen said.
