Askey admits Truro need to improve quickly

BBC Newsa day ago
Truro City boss John Askey fears a long season of struggle ahead if his side produce repeats of their performance against Tamworth.The Tinners suffered a 2-0 defeat to leave them goalless, pointless and bottom of the National League table after three games.The damage was done by two Tamworth goals in two first-half minutes and Askey told BBC Radio Cornwall: "[It was a] poor performance. They outfought us, out-battled us. It's tough at the moment. It's going to be a long season if we put performances in like that."We've got to improve and improve quickly. We were too easily beaten. I don't want to be too down on them but it was hard to get away from the performance."
Truro have found it difficult adapting to life a level up in the opening weeks of their first season in the fifth tier, after winning the National League South last season.The 2-0 loss at Tamworth followed defeats against York City and Wealdstone by the same scoreline. Askey said: "I don't think it's a lack of effort or commitment. We've just got to adjust to the league and we've got to think quicker."Get back into positions, be more aggressive, with and without the ball. Time will tell whether whether we can bridge a gap or not."

Liverpool blow as Alexander-Arnold replacement faces month out

Liverpool 's summer signing Jeremie Frimpong will be out until September due to a hamstring injury sustained during his Premier League debut against Bournemouth. The injury leaves manager Arne Slot with a dilemma at right-back for the upcoming matches against Newcastle and Arsenal. Conor Bradley has only just returned to first-team training, and Joe Gomez is also being carefully managed after a pre-season injury, making their availability uncertain. Slot confirmed that the medical team's decision to substitute Frimpong during the Bournemouth game was correct, preventing a potentially longer layoff. The manager is assessing options for the right-back position, including Gomez's fitness and potentially involving new teenage centre-back Giovanni Leoni, who has trained with the first team.

Slot reveals Liverpool's transfer plans for remainder of window

Liverpool head coach Arne Slot declined to comment on Alexander Isak but affirmed the club's transfer policy, stating they will only sign players who are the right fit, at the right price, and who wish to join. Speculation about Alexander Isak's future intensified after he publicly accused Newcastle of broken promises and expressed a desire to leave, following Newcastle's rejection of a £110 million bid. Newcastle United responded by stating that the conditions for Isak's sale this summer have not been met and are not expected to be. Slot expressed satisfaction with his current squad, indicating he does not foresee a busy end to the transfer window. Liverpool faces injury concerns at right-back, with new signing Jeremie Frimpong out until after the international break due to a hamstring injury, and Joe Gomez only recently returning to training.

Key Arsenal defender sidelined for several weeks

England captain Leah Williamson will miss the start of the new Women's Super League season due to a knee injury. The Arsenal defender sustained the problem during England's European Championship final triumph over Spain last month. She underwent a successful procedure last week to clean up swelling in her right knee and has begun rehabilitation. Williamson is expected to be out for several weeks, impacting Arsenal's opening WSL match on 6 September. This latest injury is not believed to be directly linked to a previous anterior cruciate ligament rupture in the same knee.
