Marcus Rashford immediately given strict new Barcelona dressing room rule to follow
Marcus Rashford was all smiles in his introduction as a new Barcelona player but the England star will have to abide by Hansi Flick's newest strict rule at the Spanish club Marcus Rashford is expected to curb nightlife proclivities after Hansi Flick demanded his Barcelona side keep their partying activities to a minimum. The 27-year-old officially joined the La Liga champions on loan from Manchester United on Wednesday in his first foray into football outside of the UK. Describing the move as a "dream come true", Rashford was handed the number 14 shirt, the same number Arsenal icon Thierry Henry wore during his trophy-laden spell in Catalonia over 15 years ago. While the Englishman will be keen to get his career back on track after a troublesome couple of years at his boyhood club, he'll have to do so while abiding by Flick's stringent rules that he's established at Barcelona. The Spanish giants enjoyed a hugely successful campaign last season, where they won the domestic treble consisting of the La Liga title, the Copa del Rey and the Spanish Super Cup. It may not be a coincidence that the abundance of silverware came after Flick's implementation of 10 strict rules, according to Spanish publication AS. There's since been one more rule added to the German's manager's list and that's to limit the amount of parties his players attend, reports Sport. Given the controversy Lamine Yamal found himself in after it was claimed entertainers with dwarfism had attended his lavish 18th birthday celebration, Flick is keen to avoid the added spotlight on his squad. While it's reported Flick hasn't banned players altogether from enjoying nights out on the town, he's said to have requested his players to have more discretion when doing so while having a greater focus on their footballing responsibilities. Avoiding cameras and attention in the newspapers is of paramount importance for Flick who aims to mount a strong title defence as well as bringing the Champions League trophy back to Barcelona for the first time since 2015. During his announcement as Barca's latest signing, Rashford explained why he chose to move to Spain as he said: "I'm very excited. It's a club where people's dreams come true. They win big prizes and what the clubs stands for really means a lot to me. "It feels like I'm at home and this is a big factor in my choice to come here, because it's a family club, people are comfortable here and it's a good place for players to showcase their skills. I want to say thank you for the warm welcome. It's a different environment for me but it feels like home. "I'm full of excitement and hunger to go out and help this club win. They won so much last year and I can see the ambition is to do better than last year and that is what you want to hear as a player. "It keeps you improving year on year and that's what you need to be - the best version of yourself. So I'm very excited to be here, eager to get the games going and I'm enjoying every minute of it."

Shabib Al-Khaldi cleared to rejoin training after doping ban reduced
KUWAIT CITY, July 24: The Kuwait Anti-Doping Agency has reduced the suspension of Kazma and Kuwait national team player Shabib Al-Khaldi, allowing him to resume training with his club starting August 25. Initially banned for two years starting February 26, 2024, the sanction was imposed after Al-Khaldi refused to undergo a doping test during the Super Cup final between Kazma and Kuwait Club in January. The Arab Club delegation departed today for the UAE to begin their second phase of preseason training, which runs until August 8. The camp includes two friendly matches against Hatta and Baniyas before the team travels to the Maldives for a crucial AFC Challenge League playoff against Maziya Sports Club on August 12. The team is led by Portuguese coach Marco Alves and recently completed its first training phase last week, with most players in attendance. Arabi has bolstered its squad with two new foreign signings—French-Guinean midfielder Hassimi Fadiga and Ugandan striker Kenneth Semakula—joining existing Nigerian imports Ayano Iwuala and Christopher John. The club is also negotiating to sign a fifth foreign player. Local additions include Hamed Al-Harbi and Aziz Nassari. Assistant coaches Ahmad Hael and Kenneth Semakula are expected to join the camp today or tomorrow. Meanwhile, sources suggest that former Kuwait Club midfielder Talal Al-Fadhel is close to joining Arabi after his release from the club. According to Iraqi media reports, Qadsiya's Rashid Al-Dossari and Arabi's Bandar Al-Salama have drawn interest from multiple Iraqi clubs for potential transfers in the upcoming season. Preseason training kicks off tomorrow for Salmiya, Fahaheel, and Nasr as they prepare for the new 2024-2025 Zain Premier League season, which begins on September 12. Other teams, including Arabi, Qadisiya, Kuwait Club, Kazma, and Yarmouk, have already started training earlier this month.

Forgotten English player swapped Premier League for Barcelona before Marcus Rashford
Marcus Rashford is officially a Barcelona player having completed his loan move from Manchester United but another Englishman has played for the Catalan giants since Gary Lineker was their star man Marcus Rashford is already being widely described as the first English player to represent Barcelona since Gary Lineker - but that is forgetting a now Championship regular who headed to Camp Nou with a reputation as the latest midfield wunderkind. Marcus McGuane arrived in Spain from Arsenal in 2018 but made just one first-team appearance during two tricky years spent mostly with the La Liga giants' reserves - coming off the bench in a Catalan Super Cup game against Espanyol in March 2018. The now Bristol City player, 26, suggested last season that he was too inexperienced to handle the pressure of his big move when he left Arsenal in January 2018. Having arrived in Spain he had a £25m release clause tagged on and was being talked up as a future Three Lions star. "I feel like when I was a little bit younger I'd been given quite a lot early and there was high expectations of me and maybe I wasn't, I'm not sure, mentally ready for everything," McGuane told BBC Radio Bristol last season. "I wasn't in the right mind frame to be able to deal with everything at certain times. I feel like I've grown, I've learned my trade. I've had real tough, difficult times in football and I feel like it just makes you more grateful for everything you do have and definitely makes you mentally stronger so I wouldn't change it for the world." Rashford's loan move from Manchester United was confirmed yesterday evening with the forward's deal including an option for the deal to be made permanent next summer. United head coach Ruben Amorim's relationship with Rashford broke down last December when he was cut from the United first-team squad. He was then sent out on loan to Aston Villa in January and scored four goals and six assists in 17 appearances. But when Villa decided against making that deal permanent in June, Rashford set his sights on Barca. Barca will pay the entirety of his wages after Rashford agreed to take a 15 per cent pay cut from his £325,000-a-week salary. They can also sign him for €30million (£26m) next summer if he does well. Earlier this summer, United made it clear that they would happily sell Rashford to whichever club would stump up £40m. His contract with the club runs until June 2028, so their asking price wasn't outrageous, especially considering they believed he was worth £100m in April 2024 when Paris Saint-Germain were sniffing around.
