Jude Bellingham Will Miss Up to 3 Months After Shoulder Surgery
"Bellingham will now undergo a period of rehabilitation, prior to returning to training and starting his recovery," the club's statement said. Madrid did not say for how long Bellingham will be sidelined, but Spanish media reported he could be out two to three months.
Madrid opens its La Liga campaign on Aug. 19 against Osasuna. He is also expected to miss some Champions League games and likely England's World Cup qualifiers against Andorra and Serbia in September.
The 22-year-old Bellingham had been nursing the shoulder injury since 2023 but was delaying the surgery to avoid missing time with Madrid and England. He was able to play while wearing a brace.
Bellingham played at the Club World Cup, finishing his second season with Madrid after joining from Borussia Dortmund.

Sunderland Sign Granit Xhaka In $23 Million Deal From Leverkusen
Granit Xhaka with the DFB Pokal. The Swiss midfielder won the double with Leverkusen in 2024. One ... More year later he is set to join Sunderland in a $23 million deal. (Photo by) In Granit Xhaka, Bayer Leverkusen is set to lose another key player of its 2024 double-winning squad. After head coach Xabi Alonso left the club for Real Madrid, Florian Wirtz and Jeremie Frimpong joined Liverpool. Midfielder Granit Xhaka is now off to Sunderland in a deal worth €20 million ($23 million). It is a remarkable amount of money for a 32-year-old midfielder. Indeed, it is a noteworthy deal in its entirety. The Swiss national team player has turned his back on playing in the Champions League to return to England and play for Sunderland, a relegation candidate. How did we get here? The main reason is money. Although Leverkusen is a top team in Germany, Sunderland was willing to top Xhaka's current salary of €8 million ($9.3 million). Sunderland reportedly offered €10 million ($11.6 million) a season. Ultimately, the financial allure of one last contract was too much for Xhaka to resist, even if it meant a significant step back in sporting terms. For Leverkusen, too, this is good business. Xhaka was signed on a free transfer from Arsenal in 2023 and subsequently became a crucial member of a squad that went on to become the first undefeated German champion in Bundesliga history in 2024. However, there were definite signs during the 2024/25 campaign that Xhaka had passed his peak powers. Whereas the Swiss international was the most dominant midfielder in German football in 2023/24, Xhaka was no longer infallible. Tiny mistakes in crucial games led Leverkusen to struggle in upholding the form from the previous season, and they ultimately lost out on the Bundesliga title, finishing second to Bayern Munich.

"This club has already lost three important players," new head coach Erik Ten Hag said when asked about Xhaka's future. "We won't let any more players go, that's not possible. That would neglect the structure and also the culture of the squad. It's clear—Granit is a leader; he has signed here for five years and has three years left on his contract. He's too important for us to let him go." Leverkusen's sporting director, Simon Rolfes, was a bit more diplomatic. 'A transfer is only possible if it is a win-win situation,' Rolfes said. 'A transfer will only be possible if it works out for all sides. Ultimately, our goal is to keep Granit.' That last part won't happen, with Fabrizio Romano posting an image of Xhaka and his agents on their way to England for his medical on Monday. Ultimately, Leverkusen was unable to convince Xhaka to remain with the club. Despite his notable decline, that's a significant loss for Leverkusen. Xhaka was a leader on and off the pitch. Rolfes and Ten Hag will now have to find a way to replace the 32-year-old midfielder in the middle of the park. Sign a player who can both be a defensive destroyer and a pivot player. Sunderland, in the meantime, gains much-needed leadership. Xhaka was involved in the relegation battle during the early stages of his career, when he was still playing for Gladbach. That's over a decade ago. Whether Xhaka can dip into that experience for Sunderland this season remains to be seen.

Retired Dusty Baker to manage Nicaragua in 2026 World Baseball Classic
COOPERSTOWN, NY — Dusty Baker, the future Hall of Fame manager who retired two years ago, is returning back to the dugout to manage Nicaragua in the 2026 World Baseball Classic, he told USA TODAY Sports. "I'm excited," said Baker, a two-time All-Star and Gold Glove winner, who played 19 years and managed 26 years in Major League Baseball. "When they asked me, I thought about Roberto Clemente going there to help the country. I thought about Marcus Garvey. I know baseball is trying to get going in Nicaragua, and I want to help." Baker, who was approached about managing the U.S. team in 2023, said he didn't want to leave the Houston Astros after winning the 2022 World Series. Now that he's retired as MLB manager – working as a special advisor for the San Franciso Giants – he feels the time is right. "I considered managing in the WBC back then, but I just couldn't leave my team," Baker said. 'I didn't think it was right to leave my team for two weeks in spring training. I was trying to win two World Series in a row. "So, now, the timing works great." BASEBALL HALL OF FAME: Ichiro Suzuki becomes comedian during 2025 induction speech Baker was contacted in December by Nicaragua general manager George Santiago and former Nicaragua manager Marvin Bernard. He consulted with his wife, Melissa, and son, Darren, who plays in the Washington Nationals organization, before accepting the position. 'It should be cool,' said Baker, the only manager in MLB history to lead five different franchises to division titles. 'I know it will be a great life experience. I hope I can add to theirs, and they can add to mine. 'I've never been a part of the WBC, but everyone seems to enjoy it. I will as well. But let's make it clear. I'm here to win." Baker, 76, is expected to be formally introduced as manager at a press conference in Nicaragua in August. He plans to include several of his former coaches, including Gary Pettis, Jacque Jones and Dan Firova. He also will have Bernard and Randall Simon on his staff. Benard, who will be the bench coach, is the sixth Nicaraguan-born player to reach the Major Leagues, and only the second position player. Despite Baker returning to manage Nicaragua, he has no interest in coming out of retirement as a major league manager. Baker, who has won the seventh-most games in baseball history (2,183), is eligible to be on the Hall of Fame's contemporary era ballot in December 2026, with the induction ceremony in July, 2027. 'I miss the camaraderie and the game,'' Baker said, 'but I don't miss the verbal dodgeball twice a day. I don't miss the travel and bickering between old school and new school and sabermetrics against experience. 'Besides, I don't have to train for a long-distance race managing in the WBC. This will be a sprint. I can handle that. Now, I just have to brush up on my Spanish." Follow Nightengale on X: @Bnightengale

Carli Lloyd Shares The Biggest Challenge With Taking Penalties: 'It's Not The Keeper'
"I don't like the term luck. And that's why I said you create your own luck. You have the opportunities that come your way. You capitalize, and you use them to your advantage." Wise words from U.S. women's national team legend Carli Lloyd on "Alexi Lalas' State of the Union Podcast" about one of soccer's biggest challenges: taking a penalty. It's only 12 yards between glory and certain heartbreak, but it can feel like a mile away. It requires that combination of skill, a bit of luck, and plenty of mental toughness. Penalties were a hot topic at the Women's Euro. England needed them to beat Sweden in the quarterfinals and then Spain in Sunday's final. Across the entire tournament, the penalty conversion rate across the tournament was just 55% (28 scored, 51 taken), the lowest on record at either a Women's Euro or FIFA Women's World Cup (since 2011). Which is why Lloyd praised England's Chloe Kelly, who scored the decisive penalty against Spain. "She said she knew she was going to make it. And for me, that's telling," Lloyd said. "When you step up and you're confident in making a penalty." Lloyd further explained what it took to improve her own penalty-taking skills, spurred by the USWNT falling in the 2011 World Cup final against Japan. And while the U.S. were successful against Brazil in that quarterfinal, PKs ultimately doomed them in the fateful final in Frankfurt. "I practiced penalties here and there. We would prepare as a team. It was definitely something that we took pride in. We all made ours at that point," Lloyd said. "[In the final], Shannon Boxx was first and she missed. So suddenly you start to think, 'Oh boy, she missed.' I step up, I miss. I sailed mine so far over the bar. Tobin Heath misses and then Abby [Wambach] eventually made hers [before Japan won]. "And at that moment, I said to myself: I need to prepare more for penalties because I wasn't prepared. I don't normally take them, so I made a conscious effort after training sessions to just hit penalties all the time, 10 a day after training sessions." At the 2015 Women's World Cup, Lloyd then applied that routine on the way to the title – especially in the round of 16 win over Colombia in which the U.S. initially missed a first-half penalty. "We get one a few minutes later and [Wambach] gets up and hands me the ball and I'm like, 'Okay, I'll take it.' I step up, I make it, and then I have to take another one in the semifinal against Germany. That was at a really, really crucial moment and I made that. I was focused, and it all came down to my preparation." That may be the biggest lesson when you're staring down a goalkeeper as you try to anticipate their moves and tendencies before that shot. "It was such a mind game and I think that's the biggest battle," Lloyd said. "It's not the keeper, it's between your own ears and what you're thinking. Positive self-talk, your routine and your preparation." Get more from the United States Follow your favorites to get information about games, news and more
