Double halves injury blow for Broncos ahead of finals

Double halves injury blow for Broncos ahead of finals

Yahoo4 days ago
Brisbane have lost both of their halves to the same injury in one play with Adam Reynolds and Ezra Mam limping off AAMI Park in a major blow to their hopes of beating Melbourne and their charge to the NRL finals.
Reynolds and Mam tried to chase down Xavier Coates after the Storm winger intercepted the ball 10 metres out from the tryline.
While Selwyn Cobbo pulled off a miracle try-saving tackle, taking Coates into touch as he attempted to get the ball down, the play still proved extremely costly for the visitors.

The halves both suffered hamstring injuries and left the field, 21 minutes into the first half, with Brisbane ahead 2-0.
Reynolds, 35, was seen in the change-room taking off his boots while Brisbane confirmed soon after that Mam's match was also over.
They will both go for scans to determine the severity of the injuries, with any stint on the sidelines putting a dent in sixth-placed Brisbane's hopes of a top-four berth.

Borussia Dortmund's Niklas Süle (29) sidelined

Borussia Dortmund are already facing an injury crisis heading into the 2025/26 season which starts against Rot-Weiss Essen on August 18. After replacing Mats Hummels in the 17th minute in his farewell match before taking retirement, Niklas Süle was substituted shortly before half time against Juventus. As reported by Ruhr Nachrichten, Süle is facing several weeks of absence after sustaining a calf injury. The 29-year-old missed 18 games across all competitions for die Schwarzgelben with various injuries, and is again facing time out. Süle's absence could force BVB into the transfer market. Defensive injuries for Borussia Dortmund Not only is Süle sidelined, but Nico Schlotterbeck has been absent since April following a meniscus tear – although the 25-year-old is aiming for a return in October. Emre Can is also sidelined with an adductor tear leaving Waldemar Anton and Filippo Mane as the first team's central-defenders, although the latter is yet to make his Bundesliga debut.

Manchester United injury update: Andre Onana and Lisandro Martinez latest news and return dates

Manchester United finished their pre-season unbeaten for the first time since 2019, but Ruben Amorim has been left sweating over the availability of four first-team stars before his side's Premier League opener against Arsenal. With the Red Devils hosting the Gunners at Old Trafford on Sunday, August 17, the injury status of Andre Onana, Lisandro Martinez, Joshua Zirkzee and Noussair Mazraoui is still up in the air. Indeed, none of the foursome were involved or even named on the bench as United played their final friendly of the summer at home to Fiorentina last Saturday. Will Amorim get some positive updates on their injuries this week? Here's a look at the latest Manchester United injury news… Andre Onana Amorim's current No1 goalkeeper has been absent for the entirety of pre-season with a hamstring injury that he picked up in the first week of pre-season training at Carrington. His absence has meant Altay Bayindir has deputised during the summer, with veteran goalie Tom Heaton as back-up, though there have been a litany of rumours linking the Red Devils to a new shot-stopper throughout this transfer window, from a failed approach for Aston Villa's Emiliano Martinez to a potentially ongoing pursuit of the likes of Paris Saint-Germain's Gianluigi Donnarumma. No such moves have materialised yet though, and the Cameroon international was pictured back in training during the Premier League Summer Series despite not taking part in any matchday action in the United States. Earlier this month, he also revealed he was targeting a return for the start of the Premier League season. 'I feel good, I feel great,' Onana said on August 3. 'It's been a few difficult weeks, but yeah, hopefully, I will be back for the start of the season.' Taking him at his word unless we hear any different during the week, that sets Onana up to reclaim his position between the posts for the visit of Arsenal this weekend. Potential return date: Lisandro Martinez Argentine centre-back Martinez is continuing his comeback from an ACL injury that has kept him side-lined since February and saw him undergo surgery earlier this year. He travelled to the US with the rest of the squad on their pre-season tour but, like Onana, has not set foot on the pitch aside from some training sessions he was pictured at towards the latter stages of that trip. An important defensive cog on the left of Amorim's ideal back three, United will hope Martinez's recovery continues to progress, but there's been no specific timeframe placed on his return yet. Potential return date: Joshua Zirkzee The Dutch forward has not featured for United this pre-season either, due to an unspecified injury - believed to be muscular in nature - sustained prior to the tour. Like the others, he also travelled to the US but is not thought to have participated in team training whilst abroad. However, Zirkzee was pictured training with the rest of the Red Devils squad at Carrington earlier this week, after suggesting he was aiming to be ready for the Arsenal match. 'I've got a small injury, but it shouldn't take too long to recover now,' Zirkzee said on July 28. 'I've got great physios working with me every day. It's pre-season, so unlike last season, where I wanted to push myself to be back for the [Europa League] final, now I just want to be there for the start of the season.' Potential return date: Noussair Mazraoui Moroccan defender Mazraoui was another absentee from the action across the pond, after being taken off at half-time of United's pre-season opener versus Leeds in Stockholm last month. He is believed to have picked up a knock in that match, though the exact nature of his injury has not been specified by the club. The 27-year-old hasn't been pictured in training as recently as the others, leaving his return date a little more vague. With positional rival Diogo Dalot available and Amad Diallo having played the majority of pre-season at right wing-back, Amorim may not feel the need to rush Mazraoui back before he's ready.

Enzo Maresca explains why Trevoh Chalobah came off as defender reacts on his socials

Defender Trevoh Chalobah has reacted on his social media last night after coming off injured in Chelsea's win against AC Milan. The Blues breezed past AC Milan winning the game 4-1 on the night in what was another very impressive performance from Enzo Maresca's side. Liam Delap had a great game and he topped it off by scoring the fourth goal for Chelsea to make sure of the comfortable win and result. EXCLUSIVE! Chelsea offered chance to sign Premier League centre back and it's not Marc Guehi! It wasn't all good news though and Chelsea fans had major concerns when yet another defender appeared to come off injured during the game. Chalobah was bought off injured and suddenly Chelsea fans thought they might be losing him as well as Levi Colwill who is now likely to be out for a large part of the season with an ACL injury. But thankfully, it does not sound like anything to be concerned about for Chalobah based on reactions from Maresca and the player himself. Chalobah reacts Trevoh Chalobah winces in pain as he puts weight on his injured ankle in a preseason friendly against AC Milan. He simply posted on X last night: 'All good everyone, thanks for the messages 🙏💙' That will be a relief to hear for everyone at the club because they are surely going to need Chalobah if they do not dip into the market to sign a new centre back in the remaining weeks of the summer transfer window. Maresca reacts So if he is all good, why did he come off? Well, he was 'too hot' apparently! Maresca said: '[Wesley] Fofana could be available for Crystal Palace yes, and we are very happy because he is a very important player. Trev [Chalobah] is fine; he decided to come off because it was too hot (laughs).' It was a pretty hot day yesterday to be honest!
