We are always vague on these before we get the [medical] report because there is always a chance that there’s something unusual. We don’t think there is. We’re not worried about it.”

Real Madrid are reportedly intensifying their interest in Bournemouth defender Dean Huijsen. Dean Huijsen who’s currently 19-year-old joined Bournemouth from Juventus last summer, has impressed many with his form in his debut Premier League season and is currently attracting attention from top European clubs, including Madrid. Okdiario’s chief pundit Eduardo Inda, while speaking on El Chiringuito, said on Monday night: “It is obvious that Real Madrid needs central defenders. One they really liked was (Aymeric) Laporte, but it was not possible because the cost was very beastly. “The Saudis paid €30m and pay him €20m net, but there is a younger alternative, with more speed and who is succeeding in the lower teams and Luis de la Fuente will take him to the World Cup. He is loved by Real Madrid very much.”
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has stated that his squad has no intention of giving up the Premier League title race. He told reporters on Tuesday that regardless of the injuries and setbacks, his team has done well. In the report he said. “We’re not going to stop. Over my dead body,” If somebody tells you at the start of the season that you play five times with a red card, over half an hour in each of those games, and you have lost this amount of players… you’re in the middle of the table at least,” Arteta said. “That’s not the situation. So that tells you the resilience, resources, the ambition the team has.”
Pep Guardiola has rejected the idea that rebuilding Manchester City is the toughest challenge of his managerial career. Despite his team struggling to finish among the top four in Premier League, the City’s Coach remains unfazed by the task ahead of him. City, who face Tottenham on Wednesday, sit 20 points behind leaders Liverpool after a 2-0 defeat to Arne Slot’s side. They’ve also been struggling with their defense this season. They were knocked out of the Champions League following a 6-3 aggregate defeat to Real Madrid. Despite all of this, Guardiola insists that he is prepared for the challenge of helping City reclaim their dominance as seven time Premier League title winners. “We have done it already, so after nine years it’s not the same thing that we started nine years ago. We have done it two or three times already, so it’s not the biggest challenge,” the former Barcelona and Bayern Munich boss said on Tuesday. “The challenge I had was when I was starting my managerial career and with my staff and a lot of staff, we worked together and proved to our staff that we can do it.” City made four signings in the January transfer window – Omar Marmoush, Abdukodir Khusanov, Nico Gonzalez and Vitor Reis – illustrating the scale of the rebuild required following injuries and a loss of form for key players.
Napoli Coach, Conte takes responsibility for his squad’s loss to Como on Sunday. He admitted his team didn’t play well in the second half of their 2-1 loss to Como, a defeat that denied them the top spot in Serie A. Napoli, who had been unbeaten in 11 league matches are still second in the standings with 56 points from 26 games. Conte expressed frustration over his team’s lack of fight, saying, “Losing because of hunger and aggression is unacceptable. We need to understand why this happened.” He also took responsibility, adding, “I am the first to blame because I didn’t transmit this mentality to the team.” However, he has refused to blame the loss solely on his players.
Kane revealed that the decision for him to play in Bayern Munich’s game against Eintracht Frankfurt was only made on Sunday morning. The striker who had been treating a calf injury since Bayern’s Champions League clash with Celtic had only participated in light training before the Frankfurt game. Expecting to sit out, Kane was surprised when he was included to play in Vincent Kompany’s squad. “I didn’t train for a few days after the Celtic game, and we just tried to give it as much rest as possible,” Kane told reporters after the game. “Yesterday I felt for about 30 minutes and it felt ok. “We made a decision today (Sunday) to be on the bench and I think it was the right call. You know, we needed fresh legs, fresh energy on the pitch and that’s exactly what happened. “A last-minute decision is not always best for the coach, but it was the right call today. “It was nice to get that 20 minutes at the end just to see how it felt — and it felt good. We have five more days until the game on Friday and it should be fine. “The team are off tomorrow (Monday) so I will get some treatment and be in the best possible shape for Friday.”

Despite entering the match on a three-game winning streak in the league, Juve were coming off a midweek disappointment, having been knocked off from the UEFA Champions League by PSV Eindhoven. Their European exit, however, gives them a chance to fully focus on qualifying for next season’s competition, while they continue competing in the Serie A..
