Washington Post4 days ago
Daryl Dike will miss the start of West Bromwich Albion's season because of a thigh injury, the latest in a string of health setbacks for the 25-year-old American forward.
The team said Friday that Dike was hurt in practice and will resume training after the international break in early September.
Dike ruptured right Achilles tendon against Stoke on April 15, 2023 , and returned on Jan. 7, 2024, when he played the first half in an FA Cup match against Aldershot. He tore his left Achilles against Ipswich that Feb. 10, just five games after coming back.

Dolphins backup OL Andrew Meyer out "weeks" with an injury

The Dolphins have lost backup interior offensive lineman Andrew Meyer for "weeks" with an injury, coach Mike McDaniel said Wednesday. 'He's had a great camp, really stepped his game, and I'm very impressed with his play,' McDaniel said, via Dante Collinelli of 'He will be out weeks, but he's built a strong foundation as one of the top performers if you want to talk about growth of game. One of the top guys from year one to year two that has made tremendous strides.' Meyer practiced with the first team at center until Aaron Brewer returned from a soft-tissue injury in his right leg. Meyer's injury is undisclosed. He made the team as an undrafted rookie last year but he did not see any action. The Dolphins also are missing offensive linemen Austin Jackson and Liam Eichenberg. They have signed Daniel Brunskill and Germaine Ifedi in camp.

Miserable start for Aussie star skipper in the Hundred

Beth Mooney, one of three Australian captains in the women's Hundred tournament in England, has endured a miserable launch to her reign at Manchester Originals, failing with the bat before overseeing a comprehensive six-wicket defeat. At the Originals' Old Trafford base on Wednesday, the 31-year-old Victorian wicketkeeper-batter star lost the toss against the Southern Brave - and things only went quickly downhill after her side were put in to bat. Opening the batting as ever, Mooney, who's taken over the captaincy from star English international teammate Sophie Ecclestone, had hoped to emulate fellow Aussies Meg Lanning and Grace Harris, whose brilliant batting on Tuesday had lit up the Hundred's opening day at Lord's. Instead, she first had to watch her partner Kathryn Bryce get bowled for a second-ball duck before her own struggles began. The perfect start for Southern Brave in their #TheHundred 2025 campaign 💚 — The Hundred (@thehundred) August 6, 2025 Mooney had managed to eke out just a single from the first five balls she faced before she failed to get on top of a delivery from English allrounder Mady Villiers that got a bit of extra bounce and cut straight into the hands of backward point Danni Wyatt-Hodge. Her exit was just the start of the collapse as the hosts were quickly reduced to 5-39 off just 41 balls, with Lauren Bell (3-28) and Villiers (2-18) doing most of the early damage. Only Seren Smale ralled for the Originals, scoring an unbeaten 40 from 34 balls to give Mooney's side a semblance of hope as they closed on 8-95 off their 100-ball allocation. Laura Wolvaardt and Wyatt-Hodge put on 48 from 36 deliveries to set the visitors on the road to victory, even though the latter got a beauty and was bowled for 32 by England colleague Ecclestone. Veteran Kiwi Sophie Devine was dismissed for a duck by Danielle Gregory and Ecclestone caught Freya Kemp off Ameilia Kerr, but Wolvaardt safely steered Southern Brave to a comfortable victory with an unbeaten 42 off 37 balls. It was a disappointing start for Mooney, who's been charged with helping restore the fortunes of the Originals as their on-field leader, as their women's side have yet to ever progress beyond the group stages of the event. Mooney's fellow Australian skippers - Ellyse Perry is in charge of the Birmingham Phoenix while Ash Gardner is leading the Trent Rockets - will be hoping to do better when they lead their teams into a duel at Edgbaston on Friday.

💥 Roma stunned: 3 in 45 vs Aston Villa, unstoppable Como, Juric shines

The friendlies continue for Serie A teams, and on Wednesday, August 6th, three matches involved top-flight clubs. Watch Palermo-Manchester City LIVE on OneFootball! Click here to purchase the match for only 4.99 euros. Great signs for Como, Atalanta tested against Monza, and a challenging match for Roma against Aston Villa. Aston Villa-Roma 3-0 - IN PROGRESS Roma, after many matches of varying levels, faces a direct rival in the upcoming Europa League: Emery's Aston Villa. The English side, in better shape, overwhelmed the Giallorossi in the first half, which ended 3-0. For Gasp, a draft of the starting lineup with Hermoso confirmed, Al Ayanoui-Koné in the middle, and Dovbyk up front. However, in the first 45 minutes, it was an English monologue with goals from Buendia, Ramsey, and Watkins. Buendia's goal was a gem from a free kick that Svilar could do nothing about. Overall, Roma did little, if anything, in a first half dominated by the Betis-Como 0-2 - IN PROGRESS Yet another tough test for Como, who, in the first 45 minutes, also outplayed last season's Conference League finalist. First Diao, then Da Cunha: Fabregas' Lariani overwhelmed the Spaniards in the first 2-1 Excellent test for Juric's Atalanta, showing strong progress in this outing against Monza despite falling behind to a goal from Birindelli. The comeback was completed in the second half for the Dea thanks to goals from Charles De Keteleare and Giorgio credit: AS Roma This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.
