Howe confident Newcastle will find ‘X factor’

Newcastle United boss Eddie Howe insists his side will soon rediscover their attacking edge despite struggling for goals since the departure of star striker Alexander Isak. Isak, 26, completed a British record £125m move to Liverpool on deadline day, leaving a huge void in the Magpies’ attack. Howe responded by signing Germany international Nick Woltemade from Stuttgart for a club-record £69m, while Yoane Wissa arrived from Brentford in a £55m deal. But Newcastle’s frontline has yet to click. Woltemade, 23, scored on his debut in a 1-0 win over Wolves on September 13, but drew a blank in Sunday’s goalless draw at Bournemouth. Wissa, meanwhile, is still sidelined with a knee injury. Speaking ahead of Wednesday’s League Cup third-round tie against Bradford City, Howe admitted the transition will take time but expressed faith in his new-look attack. “In an ideal […]

Maresca: No surgery planned for Cole Palmer injury

Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has confirmed that Cole Palmer is unlikely to need surgery despite his ongoing groin problem. The 23-year-old forward was forced off after just 21 minutes in Chelsea’s 2-1 defeat to Manchester United at Old Trafford on Saturday. Speaking to reporters, Maresca said the club’s medical team had not mentioned surgery as an option.“The medical staff didn’t tell me anything about surgery. I don’t think that will be the case, at least for now,” he explained. Maresca praised Palmer’s determination to play through discomfort:“He made a big effort to be available. He passed the test before the game, but he wasn’t 100 percent. He wanted to help his teammates, but the pain was too much, so we had to take him off. It’s a situation we’ll monitor day by day, week by week.” Palmer is expected to […]

Warri Wolves face 2-day road ordeal for NPFL tie in Maiduguri

Newly promoted Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) side, Warri Wolves, have endured a gruelling two-day road trip to Maiduguri for their clash against El Kanemi Warriors, reigniting debate on player welfare and transport challenges in Nigerian football. The team’s marathon journey began in Warri but suffered an early setback when their bus broke down in Asaba. A replacement vehicle was arranged, but it also developed faults, forcing repeated repairs in Benue State. As of Friday night, the team was still en route and expected to arrive just hours before Sunday’s fixture. Players will then face another two-day return trip immediately after the game, leaving minimal recovery time before their next outing. Players frustrated An anonymous player expressed the squad’s frustration: “Our welfare should be paramount to the management and the government. How can we travel two days by road, arrive […]

Mourinho returns to Benfica as new head coach until 2027

Jose Mourinho has been named the new head coach of Benfica, signing a contract that runs until the summer of 2027. The 62-year-old replaces Bruno Lage, who was dismissed after Benfica’s shock Champions League defeat to Qarabag on Tuesday. Mourinho returns to management less than a month after being sacked by Fenerbahce, following their Champions League play-off defeat — coincidentally against Benfica. This marks Mourinho’s second spell at Benfica, having first taken charge in 2000. That stint lasted just 10 matches before he departed after a dispute with the club president. “The promise is very clear – I will live for Benfica, for my mission. I’m not the important thing – Benfica is important,” Mourinho said at his unveiling. His contract includes an option for both the club and Mourinho to review the agreement up to 10 days after the […]

FIFA opens case against South Africa over ineligible player

FIFA has officially opened disciplinary proceedings against the South African Football Association (SAFA) for fielding Teboho Mokoena, an ineligible player, during a 2026 World Cup qualifier against Lesotho in March. According to South African outlet SABC Sport, FIFA confirmed in a letter dated September 15, 2025, that both Mokoena and SAFA face charges of breaching disciplinary regulations, including the fielding of an ineligible player. The case has been referred to the FIFA Disciplinary Committee, with SAFA and the player given six days to submit their defence. Mokoena, 28, should have been suspended for the Lesotho match after accumulating two yellow cards earlier in the qualifiers — first against Benin in November 2023 and then against Zimbabwe in June 2024. Under FIFA rules, this automatically triggered a one-match ban. If found guilty, Bafana Bafana could be forced to forfeit the result, […]
