Tuesday's briefing: Carter unstoppable as Lionesses target a place in final
Jess Carter is set to play for England in their European Championship semi-final against Italy despite being the target of online racist abuse during the tournament. England coach Sarina Wiegman is expecting to be able to pick from a full-strength squad, with Leah Williamson shrugging off an injury she sustained in the quarter-final penalty shoot-out defeat of Sweden. Manchester United and Liverpool have been splashing the cash ahead of the new Premier League season, while Rangers are also looking to make a statement in the qualifying rounds of the Champions League. England at full strength for Italy showdown Sarina Wiegman has suggested captain Leah Williamson will be fit for England's Euro 2025 semi-final against Italy and said Jess Carter is 'ready to perform' after the defender revealed she had been the target of racist abuse. There were concerns about centre-back Williamson's fitness after she rolled her ankle in extra time of Thursday's dramatic last-eight shoot-out victory over Sweden, but the Arsenal defender – alongside every other member of the squad – trained with the team on Monday morning. Carter, in a statement shared to her accounts on several platforms on Sunday, said she would be 'taking a step back' from social media, while Football Association CEO Mark Bullingham confirmed his organisation has involved UK police. Asked if she expected to have a full complement available for the semi in Geneva, England boss Wiegman said: 'That's what it looks like, yeah.' Meanwhile FIFA chief Gianni Infantino says he is 'deeply saddened' by racist abuse directed at Carter and promised FIFA will share data with the relevant authorities to identify the culprits. FIFA president Infantino wrote on Instagram: 'I am deeply saddened to see the online abuse directed at England's Jess Carter during the ongoing Women's EURO tournament. There is no place for racism in football or in society.' Mbeumo finally completes United move Manchester United have completed the long-awaited signing of Brentford forward Bryan Mbeumo for a fee rising to £71million. Nearly seven weeks after seeing their first offer rebuffed, the Red Devils finally have their man and the 25-year-old has signed a deal until 2030 with the option of a further year. Mbeumo leaves Brentford for an initial £65m fee that PA understands could rise by a further £6m should certain add-on clauses related to team and player be achieved. 'As soon as I knew there was a chance to join Manchester United, I had to take the opportunity to sign for the club of my dreams; the team whose shirt I wore growing up,' the Cameroon international said. Ekitike heading to Liverpool Liverpool have struck a deal with Eintracht Frankfurt worth up to £79million for striker Hugo Ekitike, the PA news agency understands. The talented 23-year-old scored 22 goals in all competitions for the Bundesliga club after last summer making his loan move from Paris St Germain permanent. Newcastle and Manchester United have been among the interested parties but Premier League champions Liverpool look set to sign Ekitike. The PA news agency understands the Reds have agreed to pay a guaranteed £69m to sign the France Under-21 international, with a further £10m possible in add-ons. The player has been given permission to travel to Merseyside to complete the deal. Ekitike is set to arrive on Tuesday for his medical and to complete what is expected to be a deal until 2031. Martin believes Rangers are ready to shine Russell Martin believes Rangers will 'take some stopping' if they can harness an energy and connection between players, supporters and everyone else associated with the club. The Ibrox head coach is determined to ensure that process takes shape in his first match in charge against Panathinaikos on Tuesday. Rangers take on the Greek side in the first leg of the Champions League second qualifying round at Ibrox and Martin hopes fans can quickly see the dominant, intense, aggressive team that forms his vision for his reign. The former MK Dons, Swansea and Southampton manager said: 'Every day I wake up and I'm honoured to be in this position. I feel extremely grateful for it. I'm excited by it and I will give it absolutely everything I've got. We all will.'

Footy star makes shock announcement after he became the AFL's most inspirational story by beating cancer twice
One of the bravest and most resilient AFL competitors of all time has called it a day, with father time finally catching up to Carlton superstar Sam Docherty. The midfielder has announced that he will play his 184th and final AFL game when Carlton play Hawthorn on Thursday night at the MCG. The former skipper will be further acknowledged with a tribute at the club's next home game against the Gold Coast Suns on August 9. But after 183 AFL matches and a host of courageous comebacks, the 31-year-old has decided to call time on his decorated career immediately. When it comes to overcoming adversity to return to footy, Docherty wrote the book. Docherty has bravely battled testicular cancer on two separate occasions. He was first diagnosed in 2020 and underwent surgery and treatment before returning to AFL. In 2021, he revealed the cancer had returned, forcing him into another round of chemotherapy. Despite the physical and emotional toll, Docherty remained a key leader at Carlton throughout his recovery. On top of that, Docherty ruptured his ACL in Round 1 of the 2024 season at the Gabba, marking his third serious knee injury. Incredibly, he completed a full rehabilitation in just six months, hitting every milestone to give himself a shot at finals. Carlton confirmed his return for the elimination final against Brisbane - 183 days after the injury, and back at the same ground. Despite the high stakes, Docherty gathered 16 disposals, three intercepts, and even kicked a goal. His comeback was seen as one of the most courageous moments of the AFL season. Even as Carlton has faltered and stumbled its way through the 2025 season, Docherty has maintained strong form, consistently averaging just under 20 disposals per game - his highest career average to date. He's also been instrumental around stoppages, contributing around 5.9 clearances per match. After all the ups and downs, Docherty said he was just happy he was able to live his childhood dream. 'When I was a kid my entire family used to climb into a van and drive from Phillip Island to the MCG for Round 1 every year,' he said. 'For me to get the chance to go on and play in those games, and also captain the club that I grew up supporting – I can honestly say it's a dream come true. 'To have built the most incredible friendships over the last 14 years which I will take with me for the rest of my life, I am so incredibly thankful and I appreciate everyone who has supported me through it all.' Docherty said it was the connections he had made during his time in the sport that he would value the most. 'Perspective is such a valuable thing, and that is what I am most grateful for in my career,' he said. 'When my career started I thought a footballer had to define themselves by the accolades they achieved: while I am certainly grateful for those that have come my way, I will leave this game with so much more. 'The experiences I have had not just in my football career, but in life, have moved the goalposts for me – while there has been no shortage of challenges, because of what I have been through I have been allowed to meet so many amazing people and have had the opportunity to have an impact far greater than kicking or handballing a football ever could. 'My wife Nat has been my rock through everything: I knew when I faced every challenge, we would be doing it together. I cannot thank her enough for her support and I can't wait to begin the next chapter of our lives together with Ruby and Myles.' Coach Michael Voss praised the resilient midfielder for overcoming every challenge that came his way. 'For every challenge Sam has faced, he has turned it into a triumph,' Voss said. 'I still remember clear as day the first face-to-face conversation I had with Sam at the back end of 2021: we went for a walk and he told me he was going to play in Round 1 in a few months' time. 'To see him defy the odds and do that, to kick that goal against the Tigers – that typifies what a remarkable mindset he has. 'He has captained our club, won a best and fairest, All Australian and been a sounding board for so many of our younger players, and all those things only tell half the story of the Sam Docherty impact.

Double delight for Matildas fans as two of the team's stars drop huge news about their love lives
Matildas fans are cheering this week after the heartwarming news that both Clare Wheeler and Alex Chidiac have experienced happy milestones with the loves of their lives. Wheeler, who plays for Everton in the UK, announced her engagement to partner Jeremy with an Instagram post on Monday. Sharing a photo of herself showing off a sparkling ring alongside Jeremy on an Italian beach, Wheeler captioned the photo with six digits: '17.07.25'. The news sparked a wave of Australian teammates rushing to congratulate the newly engaged couple. Mary Fowler posted: 'Yayyy congrats you cuties.' Hayley Raso wrote: 'No way, this is sooooo beautiful. Congrats you two.' Teagan Micah posted: 'Screaming! So happy for you both.' Meanwhile, Melbourne Victory star Chidiac tied the knot with her long-term partner Erin. The A-League star posted a series of photos from the ceremony at the Sun Theatre in Melbourne's inner-west, which left her Matildas teammates overjoyed. 'Congratulations you two! Looked amazing,' posted Courtney Vine. 'Love it Chids, so happy for you both,' wrote Emily Gielnik. The dual celebrations come at an interesting time for the Matildas after some mixed results so far in 2025. However, new coach Joe Montemurro is confident the team will be ready for the 2026 Asian Cup. 'I've had less time to prepare teams for big tournaments,' Montemurro said earlier in the month. Chidiac, who plays for Melbourne Victory, also received many well wishes from teammates 'The good thing about it, we're going to have a lot of players who are in season [for the next window], so they're going to be at least physically - and from a rhythm perspective - in tune. 'That was the biggest thing over the last 20 days - you saw the players, the rhythms were up, down, everywhere. 'All of them had to be managed physically. 'We won't have that problem [next time]. So at least we can go forward with players that are ready to go.'
