PSG sign Ukrainian defender Zabarnyi from Bournemouth on five-year deal
Paris St Germain have signed centre back Illia Zabarnyi from Premier League club Bournemouth on a five-year contract, the European champions said on Tuesday, with the 22-year-old becoming the French club's first Ukrainian player in history. Financial details were not disclosed but media reports said the transfer fee was worth around 63 million euros ($73 million). The Ukraine international was a key part of Bournemouth's defensive line-up last season, making 36 appearances as the club achieved positive goal difference in a Premier League campaign for the first time, finishing ninth. Zabarnyi is the latest Bournemouth defender to depart this summer after Dean Huijsen joined Real Madrid and Milos Kerkez signed for Liverpool. "I'm very happy to join Paris Saint-Germain, the best club in the world, with the best project. I am here to give everything I have on the pitch and I'm looking forward to making my debut and meeting the fans," Zabarnyi said in a statement. Zabarnyi made his senior debut at his hometown club Dyanmo Kyiv before joining Bournemouth in January 2023 on a five-and-a-half year contract. The English club awarded Zabarnyi, known for his aggressive defending and dominance in aerial duels, with a contract extension until 2029 after an impressive 2023-24 campaign. "We're delighted to continue the strengthening of our squad with the signature of Illia Zabarnyi. Illia is a talented international player and a great professional. He will make a major contribution to everything that we are building long-term at Paris Saint-Germain," PSG President Nasser Al-Khelaifi said. Ligue 1 and the Champions League winners PSG face Tottenham Hotspur for the UEFA Super Cup on Wednesday.

Carter feared racist abuse for James after penalty miss in Euros shootout
England defender Jess Carter said she felt a sigh of relief when her non-black teammates missed penalties during their shootout win over Sweden in the Women's Euro 2025 quarter-finals, fearing Lauren James would suffer "astronomical" racist abuse if the forward had been the only player to miss her spot-kick. England overcame a two-goal deficit to force penalties in Zurich, eventually triumphing 3-2 in a dramatic shootout that featured 14 attempts. Sweden goalkeeper Jennifer Falk saved four England penalties, including James' second effort. Beth Mead, Alex Greenwood and Grace Clinton, who are all white, also missed their spot-kicks for England. "It's horrible to say but it's almost like a sigh of relief when other players that weren't black missed a penalty, because the racism that would have come with LJ (James) being the only one that missed would have been astronomical," Carter told ITN on Monday. "It's not because we want them to fail — it's about knowing how it's going to be for us (England's black players) if we miss." Carter said in July that she had been the target of online racist abuse since Euro 2025 began in Switzerland and announced that she is stepping away from social media for the duration of the tournament. "It makes you feel really small. It makes you feel like you're not important, that you're not valuable," the 27-year-old said about the impact the abuse had on her. "It makes you second guess everything that you do — it's not a nice place to be. It doesn't make me feel confident going back on to the pitch. My family was so devastated by it as well and so sad." England, who traditionally take a knee before matches as a gesture against racism, opted not to do so ahead of their semi-final against Italy following Carter's revelations about the abuse she faced. She also admitted to feeling fear when England manager Sarina Wiegman informed her she would be playing in the final against Spain, which England won 3-1 on penalties after a 1-1 draw. "That's the first time I've ever been scared — too scared to play," Carter said. "I think it was a mixture of such a big game, but then on top of that (I was) scared of whatever abuse might come with it, whether it's football based or whether it was going to be the racial abuse that was going to come with it because I did something wrong."

Women's Rugby World Cup players to wear mouthguards that light up on heavy impact
Sign up now: Get ST's newsletters delivered to your inbox FILE PHOTO: Rugby Union - Women's World Cup - Final - England v New Zealand - Eden Park, Auckland, New Zealand - November 12, 2022 New Zealand celebrate winning the Women's World Cup with the trophy REUTERS/David Rowland/File Photo Players at the upcoming Women's Rugby World Cup will sport high-tech mouthguards that light up red when they suffer heavy head impacts, in a move aimed at improving player safety and reducing concussion, British media reported. The smart gumshields will send an alert to the match-day doctor warning of possible concussions during the August 22 to September 27 tournament in England, while referees will be advised to stop play upon seeing the red flash. The LED mouthguards are set to be implemented in top-flight rugby next season following the Women's Rugby World Cup, British media reported. The technology builds on World Rugby's introduction of smart mouthguards as part of the Head Injury Assessment (HIA) process in October 2023, which debuted in the WXV women's competition that year before being integrated into the HIA from January 2024. "If you want to be involved in the off-field assessment, you need to be wearing the mouthguard, so there are male players who opt out of getting an off-field HIA because they don't want to wear an instrumented mouthguard," Dr Eanna Falvey, chief medical officer at World Rugby, was quoted as saying by The Times. "We've had players who decided that they don't like the fact that it's a Bluetooth device, we've had players that feel it's uncomfortable, we've had players who don't want to know. "The women's leagues and teams and competitions, I don't know the reason for it, but they're much more likely to collaborate, they're much more accepting and excited about opportunities in technology.
