Mbappe ‘better' and ready for Real Madrid against Dortmund at Club World Cup
East Rutherford – Real Madrid coach Xabi Alonso said superstar striker Kylian Mbappe is 'better' ahead of the Club World Cup quarter-final clash against Borussia Dortmund on Saturday, but would not confirm if the Frenchman will start. Mbappe missed all three group matches at the tournament with a stomach bug but returned as a substitute when Madrid edged Juventus 1-0 to reach the last eight. Youngster Gonzalo Garcia has led the line for Madrid in all four games and scored three goals in the United States. 'He's better, he's been recovering, tomorrow morning we will decide (if he starts),' Alonso told reporters Friday, before saying it might not mean 21-year-old Gonzalo had to drop out of the team. 'They can (play together), depending on the moment and the needs, they are complementary, if the context asks for it and I haven't ruled it out by any means,' continued Alonso. The Spaniard said he wanted the players 'to know first' before revealing what his plans were for the match at the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. Brazilian winger Rodrygo has not featured much in Alonso's plans at the tournament and when he has appeared, has not been able to contribute significantly. 'I spoke yesterday with him and he's got a positive mentality, he's willing and ready when he's needed,' said Alonso. One player who has impressed Alonso is 20-year-old playmaker Arda Guler, who struggled for game-time under Carlo Ancelotti last season. 'It's the moment to invest in a process with Arda, we will push him to develop and mature, but knowing that he can make mistakes, and accept them,' added the Spaniard. Saturday's game is a repeat of the 2024 UEFA Champions League final, in which Madrid defeated Dortmund 2-0 at Wembley. If Dortmund do not retain fond memories of that night, they do enter the contest armed with plenty of knowledge of Real's new coach having come up against Alonso's Bayer Leverkusen over the past three years. – Kovac: 'We believe' – 'You see a lot of Bayer Leverkusen at the moment in Real Madrid because he is implementing his style of football,' said Dortmund coach Niko Kovac, with the Spanish giants operating with a back three at the tournament. 'He is playing the same shape, but the quality of players is higher than at Leverkusen. 'I would say in three weeks you can't change the world, it takes time, but we have seen some very good stuff. It will be interesting and hopefully we can compete.' Dortmund are returning to the MetLife Stadium, just outside New York City, where they began their Club World Cup campaign with a 0-0 draw against Fluminense. Now they are hoping to emulate the Brazilians, who qualified for the semi-finals on Friday with a 2-1 victory over Al-Hilal. 'When we started the tournament we didn't know how it would go,' admitted Kovac, whose team arrived in the United States after finishing fourth in the German Bundesliga. Their only defeat in 14 matches since mid-March came against Barcelona in the Champions League. 'Of course we are very happy because this is a great tournament and the further on we go we can see the passion and intensity that there is. 'We played Fluminense who have made it to the semis, and yet people laughed when I said they were a top team. 'Now we want to stay here and we hope and believe we can get through to the next round.'

Dozens pay tribute to Liverpool star Diogo Jota in Portugal
Gondomar – Dozens of Portuguese from the president to a childhood friend grieved for Diogo Jota in his hometown on Friday after the Liverpool star and his brother's death in a car crash. Jota, 28, and Andre Silva, 25, were killed on Thursday after their vehicle veered off a motorway in northwestern Spain and became engulfed in flames, just after the Portugal forward had got married. A wake for the siblings was organised at a chapel in the Porto suburb of Gondomar on Friday before the funeral scheduled for 10:00 am (0900 GMT) on Saturday. Close family and friends including the parents paid their respects first, with the grandfather propped up by two others to help him enter. Mourners arrived carrying wreaths of flowers, some sobbing audibly, before the wake was opened to members of the public. Portuguese President Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, Prime Minister Luis Montenegro, Jota's agent Jorge Mendes and Porto club president Andre Villas-Boas were among the notable attendees paying condolences. 'Football is truly in mourning. Diogo was an icon of the talent Portuguese football represents,' said football federation chief Pedro Proenca. At the Diogo Jota football academy, close to Gondomar SC where the ex-Porto and Atletico Madrid player took his first steps in the game, well-wishers created a memorial with flowers, scarves, candles and shirts. 'Thank you, Diogo Jota,' read a child's handwritten message, while mourners stood in silent contemplation. Francisco Goncalves, a 66-year-old judicial officer, was still coming to terms with what he called a 'senseless disaster… no one understands what happened'. – 'Left us too young' – Pedro Neves, who was friends with Jota at school in Gondomar, said he 'will remember him as someone who was very friendly, very courteous, who loved everyone, who always had a smile on his face'. 'He left us too young, it's not fair. But that's how life is sometimes,' Neves, 31, told AFP. At Porto's Estadio do Dragao, flags flew at half-mast and a photograph of Jota smiling and wearing the club's shirt was projected on a big screen. Liverpool have opened a book of condolences and lowered flags to half-mast, with dozens of supporters laying a sea of flowers, balloons and Jota shirts outside Anfield. A similar shrine was set up at the Molineux ground of his former Premier League club Wolverhampton Wanderers. UK media reported Liverpool had postponed the start of pre-season training, while the reigning English champions confirmed ticket sales for a July 13 friendly had been suspended. In London, Wimbledon relaxed its strict white-only dress code to allow Portuguese tennis player Francisco Cabral to wear a black ribbon in tribute to Jota.

Chelsea to let Portugal's Neto decide whether to play against Palmeiras
Philadelphia – Chelsea coach Enzo Maresca said he would leave forward Pedro Neto to decide whether to play a part in Friday's Club World Cup quarter-final against Palmeiras as he mourns the tragic death of Portugal teammate Diogo Jota. 'It is completely Pedro's decision,' Maresca said when asked if Neto would play in the match at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia. Liverpool star Jota died alongside his younger brother Andre Silva after their vehicle veered off a motorway in northern Spain before bursting into flames on Thursday. Neto, who has scored three goals in three appearances so far at the Club World Cup, played with Jota in the Portugal team that won the UEFA Nations League last month. The duo also played together at Wolverhampton Wanderers earlier in their careers. 'I had a chat this morning with Pedro. Any decision he takes is the correct one and we will support him,' a visibly emotional Maresca said. Meanwhile, new Chelsea signing Joao Pedro could make his debut against Palmeiras despite only just joining up with his new teammates from an off-season break. 'Joao's situation is a bit strange, or different, because he was on holiday,' Maresca said. The 23-year-old Brazilian forward completed a move to Chelsea from Brighton and Hove Albion for a reported £60 million ($79 million) on Wednesday and immediately began training with the squad. His last game for Brighton was on April 19 in the Premier League, although he was training alone while on holiday. 'Even if he was working, it is not the same working by yourself, but we are very happy with Joao,' Maresca added. 'The last two days he has worked with us and we will see if we can give him some minutes tomorrow.' Chelsea, without the suspended Moises Caicedo in midfield against Palmeiras, will also come up against Estevao Willian, who will join the London club after the tournament. Maresca said the presence of the teenage Brazil winger did not impact his preparations for the game. 'We are used to preparing games thinking about the team and the players on the other side and we have done the same here,' said the Italian. 'We don't care about him being with us after this competition. We are just thinking about trying to beat Palmeiras.'
