Unfortunately for him and us, the scan results really show he is probably going to be out for the rest of the season," boss Nigel Pearson said. For sure Geri is going to be a miss for us, but equally it's important we look forward with a positive mentality. Maxi [Roberto] Pereyra went in for Geri and I thought he did very well when he went on. It almost goes without saying that we'll give Geri all the support he needs for a full recovery.
Why Ronaldinho spent his 40th birthday in prison Southampton chief executive: We can finish Premier League by June China international Wu tests positive for coronavirus With football cancelled across Europe and Italy the worst affected country in Europe, the Argentine joins his team-mates Blaise Matuidi and Daniele Rugani in contracting the illness.
My pick for this match is Hapoel Tel Aviv to win this match. Odd for this pick is 2.20. I think that this match will end 2:1 for Hapoel Tel Aviv. This international friendly competition in Israel must be so interesting hence therefore making me to bet this match.
After more than 2 months of winter break, the Russian league will return this weekend with matches in round 19. With 34 points, CSKA Moscow is ranked 4th in the standings. This evening, they were playing at home, welcoming Ural, the team currently ranked 9th with 10 points less than CSKA Moscow. CSKA Moscow completely surpasses Ural. In 13 times, CSKA Moscow encountered this opponent closest in the Russian league, CSKA Moscow are unbeaten, they have 11 victories. In the first leg of this season, CSKA Moscow easily won 3-0 on the Ural's field. I think CSKA Moscow will win easy this match.
The SPFL have to do what they consider right for their members. There will be varying interests within that, financial pressures, clubs in distress who will be looking at distribution of prize money. Equally, they will have their future relationship with Uefa to consider, they will also have where this may leave them in terms of eligibility for European competition. It's a risk-based analysis for the SPFL.
The hosts should be hopeful of getting something from this game. After all, Derby County are unbeaten in their last seven home league matches against Charlton (W4 D3) since a 2-0 defeat in February 1999. On top of that, Charlton haven't completed a league double over Derby since the 1983-84 campaign. However, after winning five consecutive home league games between September and November, Derby have failed to win each of their last three on home soil (D2 L1). Given that form, we expect these two to share a 1-1 draw this week.
Today we welcome a player who has just turned 18 but has already won the Copa Libertadores with Flamengo, one of the biggest clubs in the world. Real are also in the process of renovating their Bernabeu stadium. As we aim to build the best stadium of the 21st Century, we are obliged to develop the talent of the future," added Perez. It's not easy to find unquestionable talent that can make you form part of Real Madrid's legend.
He told the players that things could not continue like that, and that if there was no change, they could easily get rid of him. Barcelona are second in La Liga, four points behind Real Madrid with five games to playIt is not described as a resignation announcement, but a way to look for a response. The response came. Conversations took place between the captains and Setien, and also with Bartomeu, and bridges started being built again.
The hosts average 3.56 total goals per home game and Heerenven’s average total goals on the road is 3.63 goals, which suggests that we could see four goals scored on Saturday. Over 2.5 goals have been scored in 67% of Feyenoord’s home games as well as in 75% of Heerenveen’s away games, with both teams scoring in 78% of Feyenoord’s matches at home and in 62% of Heerenveen’s away games.

Speaking in August, Premier League chief executive Richard Masters said the organisation was "determined to tackle discrimination". One incident is one incident too many," added Masters. We want to encourage fans when they see other supporters making discriminative comments, abusing other people they do report it and that's important. Idiots responsible for abuse a disgrace' - VertonghenSpurs defender Jan Vertonghen says anyone responsible for racist abuse are "idiots" and do not identify with the club.
The coach looks after the football while Watford provides a worldwide scouting network which uncovered Richarlison ahead of other suitors, signed for £11m from Fluminense and sold to Everton in a deal that could eventually reach £50m. They believe providing stability behind the scenes allows coaches to work to their best level without distraction - and then it is up to them. Watford's logic, once explained in detail by Duxbury to BBC Sport, is that a manager's life at a mid-table club is a short one, perhaps two years at best.
Admittedly, Bruce’s side do find it more difficult on their travels, but even that is starting to change. They have won two of their last four away games, and on Boxing Day they face a Manchester United side who have proven that they simply can’t break down teams that sit back from them.
I asked Tommy to take a Scotland B team to Wales and he told me I had to try Hutchison up front. He said he put him up there towards the end of the game and he held balls up, he won headers and he was competitive. I trusted Tommy's judgement. He told me he wouldn't let me down and he was right, the guy scored winning goals away to England and Germany for me. But the player who was absolutely outstanding that night was Barry Ferguson.
That game plan is not a new one against City. Wolverhampton Wanderers beat City with 24% possession and two efforts on target at the Etihad in October and Norwich scored three times in a 3-2 victory in September with less than 32% of the ball. We have to try and improve against teams like this," Guardiola said.
The score prediction for this match is over 4 goals in the last minute of this match running From the previous matches the two teams will play at full strength in the first year and the second half runs its game time From previous matches the visitors can always win this match I predict the visitors will also be able to win the match in this match... for the score prediction I predict the final score for this match is 4-0.... with the market price of a bet given pretty good I bet Guest team -1.75 in this match... Hopefully this prediction can be useful for us.
Guijuelo will play against Izarra in the Spain segunda division. Both teams are only separated by 2 points and will play tough contest. They almost have same quality of player this season and playing almost the same. Guijuelo maybe slighly favorite here as they have home advantage. Izarra is good in defensive play and I expect they won't let Guijuelo score easily of course. I hope there will be no goal in this match or this match can end in 1-1.. I don't think these teams can produce more than 2 goals here in this match. They have not so good attacking side. I expect a draw here.
In fact, new coach Quique Setien had his own ‘this is fine’ moment as he surveyed the scene of defeat for a demoralised and discombobulated Barcelona. We are leaving this competition, it is painful, but the image of the team has been very good,” Setién said. Everything went well today except the result … I am quite satisfied.
Huddersfield have improved since the Cowley brothers took charge, there can be no denying that, but they're struggling to turn the corner in terms of consistency. One week, they'll get a good result, but backing one good result up with another is proving to be very problematic for The Terriers, who've not won back-to-back games since the first week of November.
This could well be just a 1-0 win for Charleroi here in this fixture so I do not really encourage over bets or handicap bets on the guests, they won here with 1-0 last season scoring in added time the only goal of the game, while earlier this season at home they won same score 1-0 at home with Eupen, but they are 2nd in the league with 39 points won so far this season and are 4-5-1 on the road this season.
