Official: Real Madrid star promoted to first-team
A member of the defensive ranks at La Liga giants Real Madrid has this week seen his efforts from last season officially recognised by the club. The player in question? Raúl Asencio. Stopper Asencio is for his part of course fresh off a breakout campaign in Spain's capital. Amid a personnel crisis at the heart of Real Madrid's backline, the 22-year-old was afforded a sudden opportunity at senior level. And this is a chance which Asencio went on to take full advantage of, courtesy of a number of fine performances. Nevertheless, as recently as this past weekend, the Spaniard remained registered with Real's Castilla outfit. But as alluded to above, on Monday, Asencio's emergence has been aptly recognised by those behind the scenes at the Santiago Bernabéu. As showcased below, the defender has been officially promoted to Xabi Alonso's squad, registered as a first-team player on Real Madrid's website. Conor Laird – GSFN

Right guard competition, Jahan Dotson's role and other notes from Philadelphia Eagles training camp
The Philadelphia Eagles were in shorts and shells again Monday during Day 4 of training camp at the NovaCare Complex. The Birds are expected to break out the full pads for practice Tuesday. Eagles defensive tackle Jalen Carter was back on the field Monday after missing the first few days with a shoulder injury. Linebacker Jihaad Campbell and offensive linemen Kenyon Green and Cam Jurgens were also limited participants. "He'll be out there today, so we're not going to get too much into injuries or anything like that. But he'll be out there today," head coach Nick Sirianni said of Carter before practice. "Looking forward to having him out there today." Wide receiver DeVonta Smith did not practice due to back tightness. Rookie safety Andrew Mukuba also didn't practice Monday with a shoulder injury. Sirianni said he wouldn't discuss injuries too much at this point in training camp. The Eagles are returning 10 of 11 starters after right guard Mekhi Becton left in free agency. One of the biggest battles entering camp for the Super Bowl LIX champions was at right guard, but so far, it appears to be a one-man race. Tyler Steen, a 2023 third-round pick out of Alabama, has taken first-team reps at right guard every day. "I think I grew more last year than I did in my rookie year," Steen said. "I think getting the opportunity to go in there and play and get some experience and getting more and more comfortable at guard really helped me gain some confidence going into this year." Steen entered training camp as the presumptive favorite to start at right guard, but an injury opened the door for Becton. The 25-year-old started two games last season. Sirianni was asked Monday if the Eagles planned to open up competition in camp. "Everything's a competition. We're evaluating the twos and the threes," Sirianni said. "As of right now, it's the same way we're evaluating the ones, and we'll see. Tyler's done a nice job so far and has worked in there with the ones through OTAs, and as training camp has started right here. But we've got a lot of good pieces there." Jahan Dotson had just 19 catches for 216 yards in 17 regular-season games last season, after the Eagles acquired him from the Washington Commanders in an August trade. Dotson did have an impact in the playoffs, catching a TD against the Green Bay Packers and making a play early in the Birds' Super Bowl LIX win over the Kansas City Chiefs. Dotson, 25, was asked about his role in the Eagles' offseason this season. He said his versatility is his biggest asset. "I'm kind of the guy who can pretty much play everywhere, going back to me coming in late last year and kind of learning offense on the fly and not missing a beat. That was a big thing for me," Dotson said. "I feel like I'm a guy you can throw me anywhere, X, Y, Z, F, I'm going to do my job. I'm going to make it happen. That's what the team has looked at me for. Being kind of a spark plug if we need a play. I'm going to make the most of my opportunities when they come my way." The Penn State product enters camp as the Eagles' likely No. 3 wideout. The Eagles signed Terrace Marshall Jr. to a one-year deal, and the former second-round pick could push Dotson on the depth chart in training Dougherty contributed to this report.

Give Alexander Isak Some Credit For His Bold Transfer Stance
NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE, ENGLAND - APRIL 26: Alexander Isak of Newcastle United celebrates scoring his ... More team's first goal during the Premier League match between Newcastle United FC and Ipswich Town FC at St James' Park on April 26, 2025 in Newcastle upon Tyne, England. (Photo by) Getty Images In the aftermath of the Carabao Cup final, which delivered Newcastle United's first piece of silverware in half a century, a moment between Virgil Van Dijk and Alexander Isak caught the attention of disappointed Liverpool fans. As the Swede shook hands with the big Reds defender, he said something to Van Dijk with a knowing smile, which gave the Dutchman pause for thought. It doesn't take much to circulate rumours about a potential transfer of a high-profile player like Isak, and post-game, Liverpool fans began to speculate that a move for the striker might be on the cards. Whether there was anything in the exchange has mainly become redundant because we learned in the following months that Arne Slot's side wanted Isak. At the start of the summer, it appeared a deal could be reached, but then quite suddenly, it all unravelled. Eintracht Frankfurt striker Hugo Ekitiké, who Newcastle was pursuing as Isak's replacement, joined Liverpool, and the transfer looked dead. Then, out of nowhere, stories in the media emerged suggesting that Isak wanted to "explore options" away from St James' Park. The Swedish talisman was not included in the travelling party for a tour of the Far East, which fuelled speculation and created some embarrassing moments for manager Eddie Howe. "Of course, there are things going on behind the scenes," he admitted after a 3-2 friendly defeat to Arsenal. "He will be aware he is in the news every day and I'm sure that is not easy for anyone in that situation. Conversations that happen with Alex and the club, or Alex and myself, will stay private for obvious reasons. "We do share a good relationship. He has been magnificent for us since he joined. He's very popular in the dressing room. 'We would love him to continue his journey at Newcastle. Although, whatever happens has to be right for Newcastle.' "Hopefully, he'll be back soon and playing in the black and white shirt. That's what we all want to see." NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE, ENGLAND - JANUARY 11: Alexander Isak meets Newcastle United Legend Alan Shearer ... More at the Newcastle United Training Ground on January 11, 2024 in Newcastle upon Tyne, England. (Photo by Serena Taylor/Newcastle United via Getty Images) Newcastle United via Getty Images As Newcastle United legend Alan Shearer pointed out, it's a tricky situation for the club, arguably one the club has mishandled by claiming he wasn't travelling to Asia due to an injury. "If they thought people wouldn't see through that," Shearer told Betfair, "it was disappointing. They should've just told the truth straight away. I understand it's a very difficult situation for them but it is what it is. "Eddie Howe has to use all his persuasive powers to do what he can and try to make him stay at least one more year. If that can't happen, then it is what it is. "You have to get the very best deal for the football club and if someone is prepared to pay north of £150million, and if he really, really wants to go, you can't step in his way. "Isak has been brilliant for Newcastle, helped us achieve our dream of winning a trophy and if there's no way whatsoever that he can be persuaded to stay at Newcastle, then they have to get the best deal possible and if someone's prepared to pay what they want, you have to say thank you and build for the future. 'There's no individual bigger than the football club.' Facing the media, Howe has maintained a diplomatic stance. "The manager, of course, has an opinion, but ultimately the decision will rest with the board," he said. When asked if Isak would stay directly, he said, "I certainly hope he stays, and I said I was confident he would stay. "I don't see anything that will change that opinion of mine at the moment - but it's football and who knows what the future may bring? "We are in a very strong position financially. 'We are determined to be successful, be ambitious. We have got a great season ahead of us and we need to add to the squad and continue to improve. The journey will continue in an upward trajectory and that's what we all want.' As Guardian journalist Jonathan Wilson pointed out in his column, Isak's problem is that the major striking moves of the transfer window have already been made. He wrote: "If Isak wanted to leave Newcastle – and he was considering his future in the final weeks of last season – why wait until after Liverpool signed Hugo Ekitiké and Chelsea acquired Liam Delap and João Pedro, as well as for Arsenal's move for Viktor Gyökeres to be at an extremely advanced stage, to make that public? 'Does the scarcity of centre-forwards on the market push his price up? Or does the fact that potential suitors have no burning need for a striker reduce it?' Wilson is unfair in his reading of the situation. We have no idea what was happening behind the scenes, whether promises were broken or stances were too hardline. I read the revelation that Isak wanted to leave not as an impulsive move from an undecided man but as the angry reaction of someone at the end of their tether. If it was the case that he was greeting Van Dijk at the Carabao Cup final in March as a man he hoped to join next season as a team-mate, you could understand his frustration if that fell apart.
