Aminata Diallo to stand trial 5 years after an attack on former #PSG team-mate Kheira Hamraoui. No date yet and no possibility to appeal. Diallo’s lawyer Romain Ruiz told @TheAthleticFC the decision is “disgraceful”.

RDZ fears 'bad injury' for Mathys Tel but waiting for assessment

[The Athletic | Football @TheAthleticFC]

As the media waited in the mixed zone to interview Tarik Muharemovic, Tottenham Hotspur’s Mathys Tel was hobbling back to their coach on crutches in a protective boot.

Tel was substituted not long after being tackled by Jayden Bogle in a challenge which was analysed for four minutes by VAR for a red card.

They did not recommend a dismissal for the Leeds man.

Spurs didn't play particularly well but you can't analyse that game without acknowledging Bogle should have been sent off.

Not even picking up a yellow card while Tel went off injured is a very bitter pill to swallow

[Opta Analyst @OptaAnalyst]

Since returning to the Premier League in April, Roberto De Zerbi has been booked five times.

No other manager has been cautioned more than twice in that time.

[Jay Harris @jaydmharris]

The first angle makes Fernandes look clumsy but the reverse angle makes it look like an extraordinary piece of skill/pass back to Kinsky

[Jay Harris @jaydmharris]

@CumbriaSpur Will be interesting as I agree Fernandes looks much better in the deeper role

[Jay Harris @jaydmharris]

Solanke dropped so it looks like Marmoush will lead the line with support from Kudus, Tel and Fernandes

No Dubravka on the bench so 21yo Luca Gunter is the back-up GK

[Jay Harris @jaydmharris]

🎯 Piece from earlier this week on Solanke & Marmoush’s finishing

🧠 RDZ said yesterday they “need to improve the confidence” because “the problem of these two players is not the quality, not the physical”

Marine in the FA Cup (again) tomorrow. This time Bradford City away. We’re going on the train. Before they beat Colchester (and faced Spurs) in 2020, I wrote about my relationship with the club and non league football. Free to read here. https://t.co/ek7EAVX7nb

"Before the Chelsea game, I thought about playing Luca Williams-Barnett in the first 11." 👀

Roberto De Zerbi full of praise for Spurs' young star 💫

🎤 @jaydmharris

[Jay Harris @jaydmharris]

I just asked Roberto De Zerbi about Luca Williams-Barnett's development and he said he considered starting the 18yo against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge

RDZ also said he is a "special talent" and wants him to learn from James Maddison, Andy Robertson and Ben Davies

[Seb Stafford-Bloor @SebSB]

A wonderful moment for Jobe Bellingham, who has earned this England opportunity after a really difficult start in Germany.

An article about those trials and his recent form.

🚨 Breaking: Cole Palmer left out of England squad for Nations League games vs Croatia + Spain. 24yo Chelsea playmaker withdrew from last international break & despite availability has not been called into final camp of 2026 by Thomas Tuchel @TheAthleticFC https://t.co/IILyobtzLf

[Tomás @tomas_hill]

Enjoyed this chat with @polballus @jaydmharris and @MissEmmaPaton on why Spanish coaches are taking over the world.

La Liga's talent pipeline, finding creative solutions on the pitch and Guardiola's influence all play a part.

Sat down for more than 90 minutes with Allan Saint-Maximin

We discussed the racial abuse his children suffered at school in Mexico, a new adventure with Charlotte FC, his loyalty to #NUFC, playing for Mourinho and a €26m offer for his Helios game

Were we wrong about Archie Gray not being a right-back?
