Monday's briefing: Tottenham worry over Maddison injury and Chelsea sign Hato
Tottenham midfielder James Maddison sustained a 'bad' injury before manager Thomas Frank bolstered his squad with the arrival of Joao Palhinha. Chelsea signed Netherlands defender Jorrel Hato, while Newcastle boss Eddie Howe is unsure what the future holds for wantaway striker Alexander Isak. Elsewhere, Scottish Premiership champions Celtic scraped past St Mirren. Maddison suffers fresh injury setback James Maddison sustained a serious-looking knee injury as Tottenham's pre-season tour of Asia concluded with a 1-1 draw against Newcastle in Seoul. The England international, who missed the closing stages of last season with a knee problem, was carried off on a stretcher after going down unchallenged late in the game. Manager Thomas Frank said the issue appeared to be a 'bad injury' before Spurs later announced the signing of Portugal midfielder Joao Palhinha on loan from Bayern Munich. Sunday's friendly was otherwise notable for the emotional reception departing South Korea forward Son Heung-min received from fans in his home city. Teenage Dutch defender moves to Stamford Bridge Chelsea completed the signing of Netherlands defender Jorrel Hato from Ajax in a deal worth a reported £37million. The 19-year-old, who has been capped six times by his country, signed a seven-year contract at Stamford Bridge. He became the Blues' eighth signing of the summer transfer window. Hato, who can operate in central defence or at left-back, said: 'I thought a lot about my future and wanted to take the next step in my career. Chelsea is the best place for me to do that.' Howe leaves door open for Isak Newcastle manager Eddie Howe is hoping to see striker Alexander Isak back in training in the coming days. Isak, who has been the subject of interest from Liverpool, missed the Magpies' pre-season tour of Asia amid speculation over his future. Newcastle are returning home after their trip concluded against Spurs on and Howe hopes the Sweden international will report back as normal. Howe told The Chronicle after the game: 'Of course I'd like him to but whether or not he will, I don't know at this moment in time. Other people have been dealing with that situation back at home.' Late deflected strike secures narrow win for Celtic William Hill Premiership champions Celtic left it late before beginning their title defence with a 1-0 victory over St Mirren at Parkhead. Luke McCowan's deflected strike three minutes from time finally broke the visitors' resistance. The substitute collected Daizen Maeda's square pass on the edge of a crowded penalty box and fired a shot which appeared to spin off Mark O'Hara's leg and nestle into the bottom corner of the net. Celtic had earlier hit the frame of the goal through Benjamin Nygren, Reo Hatate and Adam Idah, while Callum McGregor had a goal disallowed following VAR intervention. What's on today? Hearts host Aberdeen at Tynecastle in the final match of the opening round of fixtures of the new Scottish Premiership season.

Darwin Nunez twist could have major impact on Alexander Isak transfer to Liverpool
Newcastle's owners could end up indirectly helping Liverpool to sign Alexander Isak. That's because Al-Hilal, the club that is interested in signing Darwin Nunez from the Reds, is majoratively owned by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund — the same group that majoratively owns Newcastle. Nunez could leave Liverpool before the transfer window closes after three underwhelming seasons on Merseyside, and after Napoli dropped its interest several weeks ago due to Nunez's price tag, there are not many top-level European options remaining for the Uruguayan. The riches on offer in Saudi Arabia could appeal to Nunez, and it is reported by The Athletic that Al-Hilal has made the 26-year-old its top striking target after seeing Victor Osimhen move to Galatasaray. READ MORE: Eddie Howe throws Alexander Isak future into fresh doubt amid Liverpool transfer saga READ MORE: Liverpool transfer news LIVE: Alexander Isak bid, Rodrygo agrees terms, Tyler Morton to Lyon Other targets like Benjamin Sesko and Alexander Isak are viewed as less attainable than Nunez, which is why the Saudi Pro League club is now firmly focused on Liverpool's No.9. If Al-Hilal, funded by the PIF, signs Nunez for the Reds' reported $81 million asking price, that could be the difference between Liverpool signing Isak and Liverpool not signing Isak. Meanwhile, Isak is expected to return to Newcastle's training ground today (Monday) after ruling himself out of the pre-season tour of Asia. Isak did not travel across the world with his teammates, with the official reason being that he was carrying a slight injury, but it soon emerged what the real reason for his absence was. Isak remains keen to leave Newcastle — and he could yet get his wish, despite Liverpool seeing a $146 million bid for the player swiftly rejected last week. Despite being set to return to Newcastle's training ground, Isak has been warned by Magpies manager Eddie Howe that he won't be reintegrated before proving that he is ready to give his all for his current club. "You have to earn the right to train with us," Howe said. "We are Newcastle United. The player has a responsibility here to be part of a team and part of a squad - you have to act in the right way. So that is also at play here. "We will make sure that any player does that to earn the right to train with the group. No player can expect to act poorly and train with the group as normal."

Over $12,000 in equipment stolen from south suburban Chicago youth football team
A south suburban youth football team is missing over $12,000 in equipment after they say it was taken from the team's storage container. This all happened weeks before the start of the season. The storage container for the Robbins CalPark Eagles sits off a main road in empty lot right next to a school, where the team's president says police are looking into surveillance cameras facing toward the lot. "We started rallying, started coming over to find out somebody had basically pried the lock off one of the doors and went in there," said Glen Hampton, president of the Robbins CalPark Eagles. Hampton said more than $12,000 in equipment was stolen from the storage unit sometime Saturday night. He said the team has no idea who did it or why. "They scrounged through the equipment, and they were very selective in what they took," said Hampton. "Helmets and shoulder pads, primarily. And then they also took some, you know, training equipment." A hit like this is a first for the program that serves over 280 kids and has been around for over 40 years. "And now I have no equipment to put on them," said Hampton. "The season starts in just over two weeks." It is a real concern for 10-year-old Eagles football players Blake Ross and Ezekiel Tolbert. "Our season is about to start," said Blake. "What are we going to do?" Given the circumstances, the team is staying positive and hopeful for another undefeated season ahead. "We're going to go 9-and-0 this year — same thing," said Ezekiel. "We're going to repeat it." A GoFundMe page has been set up to help the teams get equipment before the season starts in a few weeks. "We're disappointed, I mean, that somebody would go to this level," added Hampton. "The Eagles will fly high again."
