Mexico's 'Chucky' Lozano (hamstring) to miss Gold Cup
June 5 - San Diego FC star Hirving "Chucky" Lozano is not on the Mexico national team roster for the upcoming Gold Cup after injuring his left hamstring during Saturday's MLS match against Austin FC. Mexico announced Wednesday that Lozano wouldn't be part of the team due to the injury. The team formally unveiled the roster Wednesday night. Lozano, 29, left shortly before the midway point of the second half of Saturday's 2-0 victory. It is the second time he has hurt the left hamstring this season. "San Diego FC reported and sent tests showing that Hirving Lozano has a left hamstring injury that prevents him from traveling to join the rest of the squad," the Mexican national team said in a statement. "The Mexican National Team wishes (him) a speedy recovery." Mexico's Gold Cup opener is June 14 against the Dominican Republic at Inglewood, Calif. Lozano has been a big hit for expansion San Diego FC. He has five goals and seven assists in 14 matches (12 starts), missing three games after first injuring the hamstring in the first half against St. Louis City on March 1. San Diego (9-5-3, 30 points) is tied for second place in the Western Conference with Minnesota United. The Vancouver Whitecaps (32) are in first. --Field Level Media

BREAKING NEWS Iran's World Cup status revealed after Donald Trump's USA travel ban
Iran are one of 12 nations being placed on a United States travel ban as of Monday, but their soccer team will be allowed to compete in the World Cup next summer. Trump resurrected the ban from his first term on Wednesday night, signing a document preventing nationals from a dozen countries from entering the US. 'I must act to protect the national security and national interest of the United States and its people,' Trump said in his proclamation. But the White House has confirmed to Daily Mail that exemptions are in place for 'athletes or members of athletic teams, including coaches and support staff, and athletes traveling for the World Cup, Olympics or other sporting events'. Iran qualified for next summer's tournament in March this year - one of only seven teams to officially make it as it stands. The United States is hosting the 48-team competition next summer alongside Canada and Mexico.

Marcus Rashford 'grows close to glamorous blonde semi-pro padel player' as pair enjoy St Tropez trip
Marcus Rashford has reportedly 'grown close' to semi-pro padel player Jaki Palm, sources claim. The padel player, 23, who showed off her inked shoulder and braided hair, was pictured with the footballer on a luxury trip in St Tropez with friends last week. The Manchester United star, 27, is said to have connected with the Swedish beauty - who is based in Dubai - when he visited in April. A source told The Sun: 'Marcus went to have rehab for a hamstring injury in Dubai and was introduced to Jaki. 'She then joined him with his mates and another woman in St Tropez for a holiday. It's all very casual but Jaki has told her friends she's grown close to him. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. The padel player, who showed off her inked shoulder and braided hair, was pictured with the footballer on a luxury trip in St Tropez with friends last week 'She's being very coy about it. But Marcus is playing the field like young men his age. He is just having fun in the Premier League off-season and he's had a rough time with his hamstring so to see him having a laugh is what the doctor ordered.' MailOnline has contacted Marcus and Jaki's representatives for comment. Jaki, who boasts over 20,000 followers on both of her Instagram accounts, often shares sexy selfies and videos of her playing padel. Padel, a cross between tennis and squash, is one of the world's fastest-growing racket sports. While enjoying some downtime in St Tropez last week, Marcus continued to raise the stakes in the style department, sporting an outfit worth an estimated £340,000. He wore a two-piece Louis Vuitton monogram set worth £2,690, and the highly coveted Nike's Ben & Jerry's x Dunk Low SB trainers, as well as a watch on each wrist. On his left wrist Marcus appeared to be wearing a Patek Philippe Aquanaut, a timepiece that is listed at an eye-watering £295,895 on a website that specialises in luxury watches. The Rolex watch on his right arm was estimated to have cost around £40,000. Marcus was last linked to influencer and Love Island star Grace Jackson (pictured last week), with the pair thought to have dated after her first stint on the ITV reality show last summer Marcus was last linked to influencer and Love Island star Grace Jackson, with the pair thought to have dated after her first stint on the ITV reality show last summer. But Jackson shed light on the brief coupling during her return to primetime on Love Island: All Stars at the end of last year, saying that she had been inundated with messages from Man United fans shortly after they were linked. 'No we were out in a group having food,' Jackson told her co-star Olivia Hawkins. 'We weren't dating but we was chatting a little and texting. 'It's difficult because he can't go out and just go on a normal date. All these f*****g United fans were like commenting, thousands of comments on my pictures like, 'cause they loved me. 'When the article came out he scored two goals and he hadn't scored for like ages, so they said "You fixed him!"' 'If it would have been a bit different, because he couldn't really date so he'd be like "I wanna see you, just come to mine and chill with me" but I'm like, '"I don't really wanna".' Grace went onto add that things 'got weird' between her and Marcus given the attention on their romance, saying: 'It just changed the vibe a bit, because everyone knew and there wasn't anything to know.' Marcus was previously involved in a long-term, on-and-off romance with his childhood sweetheart Lucia Loi. The couple split for the last time in the summer of 2023. Rashford's French getaway will likely prove a welcome oasis for the England international amid a potentially tumultuous summer.
