Notre Dame loses TE Kevin Bauman and RB Kedren Young to season-ending knee injuries
SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) — Notre Dame announced Saturday that sixth-year tight end Kevin Bauman and second-year running back Kedren Young suffered season-ending knee injuries in practice this week. Notre Dame already was without Charles Jagusah, its projected right guard, after he was injured in a utility task vehicle accident in Wyoming last month. Jagusah had surgery to repair a broken humerus bone in his left arm, and coach Marcus Freeman said last week he's hopeful Jagusah will play this season. But Bauman won't play this year because of an articular cartilage injury in his left knee, which will require surgery. He also announced on social media this is the end of his football career. 'Unfortunately, I have suffered yet another season-ending injury. I have been struggling to let it all soak in,' Baumann wrote on Instagram. 'I have taken a few days and prayed about it. While my football journey has come to an end, I can confidently say the rest of my life is just getting started.' Bauman had his 2021 cut short because of an injury, missed all but three games in 2022 and all of 2023 because of injuries. He appeared in all 14 games last season and was expected to play a more significant role this season after Mitchell Evans was selected in the fifth round of April's NFL draft. He caught six passes for 67 yards and one touchdown. 'Notre Dame means everything to me: opportunity, growth, resilience,' Bauman wrote. 'I have made incredible connections and, most importantly, I have grown my faith to the strongest it has ever been. This place is so special.' Tight end Cooper Flanagan also is being held out of practice as he continues to recover from an injured Achilles tendon, which he suffered against Georgia during Notre Dame's playoff run. Freeman said he's optimistic about Flanagan returning this year. Young's career was just getting started when he tore anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee this week. The former Texas prep star rushed for 116 yards in seven games last season with the Fighting Irish. He was expected to add depth to an already stacked backfield. Young broke Lufkin High School's career rushing record before arriving at Notre Dame. The Irish open their season Aug. 31 at Miami. ___ Get poll alerts and updates on the AP Top 25 throughout the season. Sign up here. AP college football: and

Nunez leaves Liverpool to join Saudi's Al-Hilal
Liverpool sold striker Darwin Nunez to Saudi side Al-Hilal, both clubs confirmed on Saturday, in a move that could allow the Premier League champions to make a fresh bid for Newcastle's Alexander Isak. Nunez joined the Reds for an initial 75 million euros ($87 million, £65 million) from Benfica three years ago but has failed to live up to that price tag. The Uruguayan scored 40 goals in 143 appearances but slipped down the pecking order at Anfield under both Jurgen Klopp and Arne Slot. According to reports in the British media, Al-Hilal will pay an initial 53 million euros for the 26-year-old. "Al-Hilal Club Company is pleased to announce the signing of Uruguayan striker Darwin Nunez from Liverpool FC on a three-year contract," Al-Hilal said in a statement. Nunez was likely to play even less this season after Liverpool signed Hugo Ekitike and Florian Wirtz as part of a 300 million euro spending spree that also includes full-backs Milos Kerkez and Jeremie Frimpong. However, the club could still break the British transfer record by signing Isak. Liverpool reportedly had a first bid of £110 million rejected, with Newcastle demanding a fee of up to £150 million for the Swedish striker. The sale of Nunez would take Liverpool's income for transfer sales this window to nearly 200 million euros after the departures of Luis Diaz, Jarell Quansah, Caoimhin Kelleher, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Tyler Morton. Nunez is the latest big name to join Al-Hilal, who shocked Manchester City to reach the quarter-finals of the recent Club World Cup. Coached by former Inter Milan boss Simone Inzaghi, the Saudi club's squad includes Portuguese internationals Ruben Neves and Joao Cancelo, Senegal captain Kalidou Koulibaly and former Fulham striker Aleksandar Mitrovic. kca/jc
