Rangers transfer target forced off injured in pre-season
The Crystal Palace winger was unable to continue in the final minutes of the bounce game win over Crawley Town on Friday. Rak-Sakyi had only come on as a substitute for the Premier League side after 64 minutes but he would then have to leave the field before the final whistle. The 22-year-old replaced Ismaila Sarr in the second half but would need to be subbed off in the 89th minute. Rak-Sakyi had gone down requiring treatment with just one minute of the 90 remaining. He was checked by physios before being replaced by Kaden Rodney. The severity of the injury is not yet known, but Rak-Sakyi did leave the pitch by his own power as he walked off the park. Read more: Rangers are one of a number of clubs interested in the winger this summer with Russell Martin an admirer of the player. In fact, the Ibrox boss had tried to sign Rak-Sakyi when he was in charge at Southampton but was unable to strike a deal. Rangers tabled a loan bid for Rak-Sakyi earlier this week, as revealed by The Rangers Review. On Sky Sports, Martin said of possible Rak-Sakyi interest: "I think there are a lot of players we will be linked with, some wide of the mark, some very close and some spot on. "He's a player I liked at Southampton and tried to take there, and it didn't quite happen. "He's a player I like and I think he's a player the recruitment staff like, but how far that's gone, I'm not too sure. Responding to a follow-up question on whether the winger fits the right profile of player Rangers are chasing this summer, he added: "He's a really good player. We look at all sorts of different profiles that we think can help the team. "So it doesn't necessarily have to be one type of profile; players are very different. "We just need the ones with the right mentality that are desperate to come and play here and we'll see where we end up in four weeks time."

Senegal not so friendly in stunning win over England
Senegal have became the first African team to beat England in 22 games, their 3-1 win in a friendly at the City Ground prompting boos from disappointed home fans. Senegal stretched their unbeaten streak to 24 games, thanks to goals from Ismaila Sarr, Habib Diarra and Cheikh Sabaly. England's loss on Tuesday (Wednesday AEST), which included a disallowed late goal from Jude Bellingham for a handball in the build-up, was their first defeat in four games under new manager Thomas Tuchel. "Not good enough," captain Harry Kane told ITV. "We had moments, but with and without the ball things aren't clicking, we're not finding the right tempo. We've lost that aggressive nature that we had." England, who made 10 changes from Saturday's 1-0 lacklustre World Cup qualifying win over Andorra, took the lead when Kane struck in the seventh minute after Senegal goalkeeper Edouard Mendy saved Anthony Gordon's shot but spilled the ball into the striker's path. The hosts conceded for the first time under Tuchel when Sarr caught Kyle Walker napping to poke in Nicolas Jackson's cross in the 40th minute. The visitors doubled their tally in the 62nd minute when Diarra latched on to a ball over the top then fired through goalkeeper Dean Henderson's legs. Sabaly struck deep into stoppage time, prompting boos from England fans after the final whistle. "We're not going to panic, but we know we need to be better," Kane said. "New ideas, there's new players coming into the team that don't have experience at international level. "It's a mixture of things, but no excuses. We need to find it quick, the World Cup is going to come around really fast, so every camp is really important right now." Senegal peppered Henderson with nine shots on target to England's four, including an early header from Sarr that the goalkeeper pushed wide of the post. Gordon squandered a glorious chance to give England a two-goal lead in the first half when he mis-hit Walker's cross from close range. Mendy made a great late save to deny England what would have been an equaliser from Bukayo Saka, before Senegal added their third. "Disappointing result, not sure if maybe we didn't deserve a little bit more result-wise," Tuchel said. "But felt again a bit frozen, not active enough for a long time of the match.''
