Mario Hermoso out for the season with shoulder injury
Roma loanee Mario Hermoso has been ruled out for the remainder of the season.
The Spaniard, who moved on loan from Roma to Bayer Leverkusen in January, has suffered an injury that will keep him out of action until the end of the season.
Despite the break, however, Hermoso will not return to the Italian capital.
The German club announced it in an official statement.
'Bayer 04 defender Mario Hermoso underwent successful surgery today, Tuesday, in Madrid. The player on loan from Roma had suffered a tendon injury in the area of the right pectoral muscle during the return leg of the UEFA Champions League round of 16 against Bayern Munich (0-2). Hermoso will be out for Bayer 04 until the end of the current season.
His rehabilitation will be carried out in agreement with Roma at the 'Werkstatt' in Leverkusen, the club's rehabilitation and training center located in the BayArena.'

Patrice Bergeron and others believe Marco Sturm can do for the Bruins what he did seven years ago for Team Germany
Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up It was engineered by Marco Sturm. Advertisement The newest 'He changed the culture,' recalled Christian Künast, one of Sturm's assistant coaches and now the director of the German Ice Hockey Federation. Describing Sturm as 'the best coach I've ever worked with,' Künast raved from his office in Germany. Advertisement 'Obviously we didn't have too many NHL players at that time. It's still new for us, something special when a German player makes it to the NHL,' Künast said. 'He had so much success, scored goals, everyone knew him in the hockey world in Germany. But his biggest influence was when he started as the national team coach.' The coaching carousel spun Sturm in different directions since then, to being an NHL assistant with the Kings and then the head coach of Los Angeles's AHL affiliate for the past three seasons. It was what Sturm accomplished with Team Germany that feels so applicable to what he faces with these Bruins. Just listen to Künast. 'I remember we lost in the quarterfinals in the 2017 World Championships to Canada at home,' he said. 'We lost, 2-1. The feeling in the dressing room was, 'OK, we made the quarters, everything is great. We lost to Canada, no big deal.' Marco changed that. He was bitter and sour about it. He let everyone know about it. 'It's not good enough. We want to have more. We've got to change our attitude.' ' By the Olympics, Sturm's impact was clear, though not right away. Germany opened by getting thrashed, 5-2, by Finland, surrendering three power-play goals. Matt McIlvane was the assistant coach in charge of the penalty kill, an Illinois native who'd been coaching club hockey in Germany and joined the Olympic staff mere days before they departed for South Korea after another coach had to pull out. Now the head coach of the AHL's San Diego Gulls, McIlvane remembered feeling 'like I couldn't find a corner big enough to climb into, I felt so bad.' Advertisement Sturm stayed the course, trusting McIlvane, trusting his players. A win over Norway in the final group stage game soon followed, and then … a run for the ages. The ninth of 12 seeds in the medal round, Germany soared, beating Switzerland, 2-1, and Sweden, 4-3, both in overtime. Then the real shocker — ' Late in the third, Germany clung to a 3-2 lead. 'And we got a power play,' said McIlvane. 'I remember on the bench, talking, should we put two [defensemen] on the ice? We agreed on that … they ended up pulling their goalie, and with 20 seconds left, they scored a goal, tying the game. Then we took a penalty in overtime, they scored against us four on three. Advertisement 'You won a silver medal, but it feels like you lost the gold. It pains me to talk about it even to this day.' But disappointment eventually wanes, dulled as they arrived home to a massive airport welcoming party, embraced by a jubilant nation. The enormity of what they'd accomplished began to sink in. 'I think in that moment we were just pumped about the medal, but after a few years you realize it,' said NHL veteran and Germany team captain Marcel Goc, now a coach with the club Adler Mannheim. 'You need those moments of success for a team or individuals, like [Edmonton star] Leon Draisaitl is having right now, you get more attention, and more attention brings more players, which is what we need.' Goc, who played with Sturm on the Florida Panthers, laughed as he relayed a message for his former teammate, 'Tell him to continue, keep it going for German players.' Related : For now, that comes second to the Bruins, a franchise in the throes of a necessary reset where the roster needs more firepower — 'I was 20 years old when he came from San Jose,' Bergeron said in a telephone call Friday. 'I was trying to learn from the older guys, he was one of them. He was friendly, took me under his wing in a way, helped me along, always extremely respectful. He was a really great teammate, always there for you.' Advertisement Like the rest of the world, Bergeron later watched in awe as Sturm turned the Olympics on its head. 'I was impressed with their run, definitely, the way they came together and went above expectations,' Bergeron said. 'It was great fun for me to see him behind the bench. It was the first time for me to see his demeanor, the way he was acting, because obviously I don't know him as a coach at all, but going from teammate to friend to seeing him behind the bench was exciting.' Next up, Boston. 'There's a picture, the two of us celebrating together on the bench at the Olympics,' McIlvane said, 'I sent it to Marco with a text saying, 'This is the feeling I get when I see you're the head coach of the Bruins.'

Fabrizio Romano: Liverpool Close in on £120m Florian Wirtz Transfer
Florian Wirtz Edges Closer to Liverpool Move as £120m Deal Nears Completion Liverpool on the Verge of Big-Money Wirtz Signing Liverpool's summer transfer strategy continues to impress, with the Merseyside club nearing a significant breakthrough in their pursuit of Bayer Leverkusen's Florian Wirtz. Renowned football journalist Fabrizio Romano confirms that negotiations are reaching their final stages, bringing excitement to Anfield supporters. Advertisement Romano took to social media to detail the advanced state of the transfer, stating, 'Liverpool are advancing to complete Wirtz deal in next days, here we go soon' Liverpool manager Arne Slot, fresh from a dominant Premier League-winning campaign, clearly remains determined to bolster his squad further. The recent signing of Jeremie Frimpong from Leverkusen could also be instrumental in enticing Wirtz, adding familiarity to his imminent Anfield arrival. Why Wirtz is Worth £120m for Liverpool Florian Wirtz is widely regarded as one of European football's brightest talents. At just 22, he produced impressive figures last season, netting 16 goals and providing 15 assists in 45 games. Liverpool's willingness to potentially pay £120 million demonstrates their clear belief in his abilities. Advertisement With Premier League rivals Manchester City, Arsenal, and Chelsea all poised to intensify competition next season, the Reds are eager to maintain their competitive edge. Securing Wirtz is not just a statement of intent—it represents a strategic investment in sustained success. Liverpool Fans Reassured over Milos Kerkez Move In addition to Wirtz, Liverpool supporters have been anxious about the club's pursuit of Bournemouth's Milos Kerkez. The Hungarian left-back, highly rated for his dynamic play, has already agreed in principle to join the Premier League champions. Romano again sought to reassure fans, stating, 'Again for Liverpool… relax for both Wirtz and Kerkez. All proceeding in the right direction.' Kerkez, who excelled during the previous campaign, remains Liverpool's priority in strengthening their defensive options. Slot's pursuit underlines his commitment to building a versatile and dynamic squad. The Future Looks Bright at Anfield With Florian Wirtz's imminent arrival and potentially Milos Kerkez following closely behind, Liverpool's ambition to defend their Premier League crown and challenge across all fronts is crystal clear. The club's aggressive yet strategic moves in the transfer market emphasise their hunger for ongoing dominance and long-term success. Our View – EPL Index Analysis Liverpool supporters have every reason to be ecstatic about the prospect of Florian Wirtz joining the ranks. The attacking midfielder is precisely the kind of creative talent Anfield has craved since Philippe Coutinho's departure. At just 22 years old, Wirtz is not merely a signing for today but a future cornerstone who can shape Liverpool's attacking prowess for the next decade. Additionally, fans' excitement about Milos Kerkez is justified. The Hungarian's energetic style perfectly aligns with Liverpool's trademark attacking full-back play, promising greater width and pace on the left flank. Slot's evident ambition in securing top talent sends a clear message that Liverpool intend to dominate English football for years to come. Fans will rightly be buzzing at this proactive approach to transfers, reflecting genuine intent from the club hierarchy. Bring on next season; optimism is sky-high on Merseyside.

Fabio Capello: 'Gasperini will need time.'
Former Roma manager Fabio Capello discussed Roma's appointment of Gian Piero Gasperini. In an interview with La Gazzetta dello Sport, Capello urged Roma fans and the club to have patience and allow Gasperini to work on his methods. Advertisement 'Gasp will inevitably need some time to make his players understand his ideas and methods,' said Capello .'Which are very different from Ranieri's.' 'I'm very curious about his adventure in Rome,' he added. 'The first match of the new season with Bologna should be interesting and unpredictable. Roma will immediately face a super well-oiled and top-level team, like that of Vincenzo Italiano, which is now a solid reality in our football.'
