Liverpool boss Arne Slot 'makes decision on Federico Chiesa's future' amid interest from Serie A giants
Arne Slot 'will not sanction the sale of Federico Chiesa' as it stands, with Luis Diaz and Darwin Nunez having left Liverpool this summer. The Reds are looking thin in the forward department and while many expected Chiesa to be among the departures, reports in Italy suggest otherwise. Chiesa, Cody Gakpo, Mo Salah and Hugo Ekitike are currently Liverpool's frontline options for the forward spots, with young Rio Ngumoha backing up. The tragic death of Diogo Jota and sales of Nunez and Diaz mean Slot's answer on selling Chiesa is 'unequivocal', according to Gazzetta dello Sport. They say he is needed by the club but the situation could yet change depending on Liverpool's incomings in the final 20 days of the transfer window. Both Napoli and Inter Milan are the Serie A giants considered most likely to move for the former Juventus man. The protracted pursuit of Alexander Isak is one to keep a close eye on, with the Reds expected to test Newcastle's resolve with a second bid if given encouragement. And there is also interest in PSG winger Bradley Barcola, who as it stands appears unlikely to leave the French champions. Chiesa stayed behind while Liverpool were on their pre-season tour in Asia, with many considering his absence as an indication of a move away. But the Italian was dealing with muscular issues back on Merseyside and he was an unused substitute for the Community Shield at Wembley on Sunday. Chiesa was Liverpool's only arrival last summer but it was a frustrating campaign for the winger. Fitness issues and difficulty breaking into the starting line-up meant his game time was severely limited. There were flashes of his undoubted talent, including a goal in the League Cup final, but he was also part of the dismal FA Cup exit against Plymouth. If Liverpool are unable to sign any more attackers this transfer window, Chiesa seems likely to stay at Anfield and have the chance to give a greater account of himself this term.

Justin Rose, Tommy Fleetwood clinch Ryder Cup spots
August 11 - With their performances at the FedEx St. Jude Championship on Sunday, England's Justin Rose and Tommy Fleetwood clinched spots on Team Europe for the Ryder Cup next month against the United States. Rose, who won the $20 million tournament in Memphis in a playoff, and Fleetwood, who struggled down the stretch to finish one shot off the pace, earned enough points to join Northern Ireland's Rory McIlroy as automatic qualifiers for the competition on Sept. 26-28 at Bethpage Black in Farmingdale, N.Y. Team Europe captain Luke Donald is required to select the top six players in the Europe Team Rankings when the British Masters concludes on Aug. 24. Donald gets to choose the other six golfers to round out his team, which will defend the Cup it won in 2023 in Italy. "Amazing to have both of these guys back on the Team," Donald wrote on X above a Ryder Cup Europe post on Rose and Fleetwood making the team. "They bring so much both on and off the course. Let's Go!" Scotland's Robert MacIntyre, England's Tyrrell Hatton and Austria's Sepp Straka hold fourth through sixth place heading into this week's play. MacIntyre will be part of the BMW Championship field at Caves Valley Golf Club in Owings Mills, Md. Straka, however, withdrew from the $20 million tournament on Monday for family reasons. Hatton will be playing the LIV Tour event in Indianapolis, where he can not collect points. Ireland's Shane Lowry, Denmark's Rasmus Hojgaard and Sweden's Ludvig Aberg are within striking range of being automatic qualifiers. Lowry trails Straka for sixth by just 21.16 points. As long as Lowry completes the BMW Championship this weekend, he'll earn enough points to climb past Hatton and Straka. Competitors at the BMW Championship receive 1.5 points for each $1,000 they earn. --Field Level Media

49ers place RB Ameer Abdullah on IR, sign RB Jeff Wilson Jr., DL Trevis Gipson
August 11 - Ameer Abdullah's stay on the San Francisco 49ers' active roster was brief as the veteran running back was placed on season-ending injured reserve on Monday after a rib issue sustained in Saturday's preseason opener against the Denver Broncos. The 49ers, who signed Abdullah on July 31, inked running back Jeff Wilson Jr. and defensive lineman Trevis Gipson to one-year contracts on Monday. The team cut quarterback Tanner Mordecai and activated offensive lineman Andre Dillard from the physically unable to perform list. Head coach Kyle Shanahan said on Monday that rookie wide receiver Jordan Watkins is expected to be out about a month due to a high ankle sprain and that former starting receiver Brandon Aiyuk (ACL) is estimated to return around Week 6 of the regular season, though the situation could change. Watkins, 23, was a fourth-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Aiyuk, 27, is battling back from a serious right knee injury that included tears to the ACL and MCL. He was injured in Week 7 of last season and went on injured reserve, and he was placed on the PUP list on July 18. Abdullah, 32, played in 16 games (three starts) for the Las Vegas Raiders last season and rushed 66 times for 311 yards and two touchdowns, while catching 40 passes for 261 yards and three scores. He took 410 offensive snaps (38 percent) and 192 on special teams (43 percent). For his career, Abdullah has rushed for 1,994 yards and eight TDs and caught 203 passes for 1,468 yards and 11 scores in 141 regular-season games (26 starts) for the Detroit Lions (2015-18), Minnesota Vikings (2018-21), Carolina Panthers (2021) and Raiders (2022-24). The Lions selected him in the second round of the 2015 draft. Gipson, 28, has played in 53 career games (19 starts) for the Chicago Bears (2020-22), Tennessee Titans (2023) and Seattle Seahawks (2024). His best season was in 2021 when he started nine of 16 games for the Bears as an outside linebacker and had career highs with seven sacks, 39 tackles, five forced fumbles and one fumble recovery. Chicago picked him in the fifth round of the 2020 draft. Wilson, 29, played the first four-plus years of his NFL career in San Francisco before spending the past three seasons in Miami. The 2018 undrafted free agent rushed for 1,733 yards and 15 touchdowns with San Francisco, which traded the running back to Miami midway through the 2022 season. Wilson ran for just 637 yards and three scores in Miami, appearing in only 19 games (no starts) over the past two years. Mordecai, 25, spent last season on the 49ers' practice squad. Dillard, 29, was a first-round pick (22nd overall) by the Philadelphia Eagles in 2019. He played in 69 games (19 starts) for the Eagles (2019, 2021-22), Titans (2023) and Green Bay Packers (2024) before signing with the 49ers in May. He went on the active/PUP list on July 18 for an undisclosed injury. --Field Level Media
