Vollering to keep racing at Tour de France after crash
Her FDJ-Suez team said on Tuesday that Vollering underwent medical tests that have excluded a risk of a concussion after she hit the ground during Monday's Stage 3.
Her team said Vollering, who lagged 19 seconds behind race leader Marianne Vos in the general classification, is 'determined to take the start' of Tuesday's stage from Saumur to Poitiers.
Vollering fell less than four kilometers from the finish line in Angers in a crash that involved several riders. Examinations carried out by the team doctor revealed that she had suffered multiple contusions but she did not go to hospital 'given the non-urgent nature of her condition,' FDJ-Suez said.
Vollering is one of the most decorated cyclists of her generation. She won the Tour de France in 2023.
The nine-stage race ends Aug. 3.

Lyon plot swoop for Union Berlin's Danilho Doekhi
According to a report from Foot Mercato, Olympique Lyonnais are plotting a swoop for Union Berlin defender Danilho Doekhi (27). The centre-back only has a year left on his contract with the Bundesliga side, with the French outlet explaining that he could be plucked from Germany for €7m. The defender was a target for OGC Nice last summer when the club were looking at a possible replacement for Jean-Clair Todibo (25), who eventually left to join West Ham United. However, despite interest being high in the Dutchman with Premier League sides also linked, no move ever materialised. Lyon envision Doekhi bolstering their defensive line alongside new recruit and fellow countryman Ruben Kluivert (24). The club are hoping to plot a return to the UEFA Champions League this season and will look to progress into the latter stages of the UEFA Europa League having reached the quarter-finals last season.

Report – Inter Milan Target Could Stay & See Out Contract At PSG
Inter Milan target Gianluigi Donnarumma could stay at Paris Saint-Germain this summer and see out the final year of his contract. This via FCInterNews. The Italian international could wind up remaining at the Parc des Princes even if Lucas Chevallier signs from Lille. Inter Milan have been paying close attention to the situation of Gianluigi Donnarumma at Paris Saint-Germain. At the moment, the 26-year-old's contract with the French champions expires in less than a year. He is still on the same five-year deal he signed in 2021, running until the end of next June. Therefore, Gianluigi Donnarumma could be a major free transfer opportunity next summer. Inter Target Gianluigi Donnarumma Could Stay & See Out Contract With PSG LONDON, ENGLAND – APRIL 29: Gianluigi Donnarumma of Paris Saint-Germain celebrates after teammate Ousmane Dembele (not pictured) scores his team's first goal during the UEFA Champions League 2024/25 Semi Final First Leg match between Arsenal FC and Paris Saint-Germain at Emirates Stadium on April 29, 2025 in London, England. (Photo by) There has been a sense that PSG want to sell Donnarumma this summer if they can't extend his deal. There are even reports that the Parisians are eyeing up a deal for a replacement. Reportedly, PSG are keen to sign Lille goalkeeper Lucas Chevallier. However, the Treble-winners could sign Chevallier and still keep Donnarumma in their squad. The two keepers would then compete for the starting spot, as Donnarumma had done with Keylor Navas. In that case, Donnarumma would decide on his future over the next few months. And then, the Italian international could very well leave on a free transfer in twelve months' time.

Chelsea's Kendry Paez joins Strasbourg on loan
Chelsea's Kendry Paez has joined BlueCo sister-club Strasbourg on a season-long loan deal. Paez only joined Chelsea earlier this summer, following his 18th birthday, after the club agreed a deal to sign him from Ecuadorian club Independiente del Valle in June 2023. The teenager scored 13 goals in 70 first-team appearances for his former club, and has also played 18 times for Ecuador. Paez was training at Chelsea earlier this year but was not included in Enzo Maresca's Club World Cup squad. Midfielder Kendry Paez has joined Ligue 1 side RC Strasbourg on a season-long loan. — Chelsea FC (@ChelseaFC) July 31, 2025 BlueCo, the holding company which controls Chelsea and Strasbourg, has overseen multiple moves between the two clubs. Chelsea development squad coach Filipe Coelho has left his post to become Liam Rosenior's assistant at the Ligue 1 side, while goalkeeper Mike Penders has also joined Strasbourg on a loan deal for 2025-26. Strasbourg have also signed Ishe Samuels-Smith and Mathis Amougou on permanent deals from Chelsea this summer. Advertisement Last season, goalkeeper Djordje Petrovic, full-back Caleb Wiley and midfielder Andrey Santos were on loan at Strasbourg, helping the club to a seventh-place finish and qualification for this season's Conference League, while Diego Moreira was signed on a permanent deal. This summer, Petrovic joined Bournemouth on a permanent deal while Wiley has joined Championship side Watford on loan, with Santos set to be involved in Chelsea's first-team squad. FIFA rules permit only three players per season to be loaned between clubs with such arrangements. The Athletic reported on July 22 that defender Mamadou Sarr, who arrived at Chelsea from the French side earlier this summer, is set to return to Strasbourg on loan.
