Al-Ahly midfielder Ashour to miss remainder of Club World Cup with broken collarbone
Al Ahly midfielder Emam Ashour will miss the remainder of the 2025 Club World Cup after scans confirmed he had suffered a broken collarbone, the Egyptian club announced on Sunday.
Ashour left the opening match of the revamped competition against Inter Miami, which ended in a goalless draw, in tears after injuring his shoulder.
"Medical examinations on Emam Ashour in a Miami hospital showed he sustained a broken collarbone, and he will miss the remaining matches in the Club World Cup," Al Ahly doctor Ahmed Gaballah said via the club's account on X.
Ashour, who had previously suffered a serious shoulder injury while playing for the Egyptian national team in 2024, initially fell early in the game and received treatment on the sidelines before returning briefly and missing a one-on-one chance.
However, the 27-year-old Egyptian Premier League top scorer was unable to continue and asked to be substituted in the 14th minute, being replaced by Ahmed Sayed (Zizo).

Boca chances depend on clashes with Europe's heavyweights
MIAMI :Boca Juniors will begin their Club World Cup campaign knowing their chances of advancing to the knockout stage will largely depend on the outcome of their matches against Europe's heavyweights, coach Miguel Angel Russo said on Sunday. Boca face Benfica at the Hard Rock Stadium on Monday, a day after Bayern Munich obliterated Auckland City 10-0 in another Group C game. "Bayern's opponents (Auckland City) are semi-professionals, and I don't mean any disrespect. Bayern and Benfica are at another level," Russo, who just started his third stint as Boca head coach, told a press conference. Asked about Boca's chances of advancing into the knockout stages of the 32-team tournament, Russo kept his eyes on the ball. "What matters is tomorrow's game, we're not looking at what comes after this match," he said. "We know that in seven, eight days we'll play three matches, but the first one is the most important. Benfica are one of the great European clubs." Boca can rely on getting a lot of support from the fans as Miami has been swarming with Argentine supporters. "Our fans have always made the difference, they've always been there in the history of the club," said Russo, who has yet to decide whether former Uruguay international Edinson Cavani, who has been dealing with injuries, will start. "With Cavani we're taking it day-by-day," he added.

Bayern Munich demolish Auckland City to kick off Club World Cup campaign
CINCINNATI, United States :Bayern Munich began their Club World Cup campaign in emphatic fashion with a ruthless 10-0 demolition of Auckland City on Sunday, as Jamal Musiala marked his return from injury with a brilliant second-half hat-trick in a commanding team display. Kingsley Coman opened the scoring in the sixth minute, heading home at the far post after a Joshua Kimmich corner. The Bundesliga champions then took full control with a three-goal burst in as many minutes, as Sacha Boey smashed in a low shot from a Coman pass in the 18th minute for his first goal for Bayern, Michael Olise added a third with a simple tap-in moments later and Coman netted his second in the 21st minute. Thomas Mueller then made it 5-0 just before the break, volleying in from close range after an Olise assist, and the French winger grabbed his second with a superb curling effort from outside the box. Substitute Musiala curled a trademark finish into the far corner in the 67th minute, before calmly converting a penalty he earned six minutes later and pouncing on a defensive blunder to score his third in the 84th.
