Henry, appointed Montreal Impact head coach last November, revealed his MLS side are not allowed to train individually as they reside in Canada’s worst-affected coronavirus region. So to pass the time, he spoke to an old friend and former EPL teammate on Thursday. Fabregas, who spent four years together with Thierry in the Premier League between 2003-07, quickly burst onto the scene in north London and Henry had fond memories to share....

According to reports in the British media, Sturridge has grown frustrated with his current situation given his inability to displace Klopp’s favoured trio of Roberto Firmino, Philippe Coutinho and Sadio Mane as his front three. The striker made a cameo appearance against Southampton and the Saints are ready to take the gamble by offering the 27-year-old the chance to reignite his fading career. The striker is yet to score a goal in the Premier League this season and although current circumstances have been trying, to say the least, there is still hope that the striker will be used in some capacity by Juergen Klopp....

Thames went deep twice in the first two innings Monday for the Brewers against the Reds. That gave him 10 dingers in 19 games this season (seven vs. Cincinnati). MORE: Reds-Brewers Game Center After the second homer, we got this on Twitter because of course: Standard reaction to a guy who comes out of nowhere to crush. Thames hit 124 home runs over three seasons in the Korea Baseball Organization, but Korean ball is barely Double-A, say the experts, so those numbers don’t count in people’s minds....

Eric Trump told Fox News’ Sean Hannity in an interview late Monday that he was the one who “got the call” about the FBI raid and informed his father of the search. He said that no family in American history “has taken more arrows in the back than the Trump family,” and alleged that the actions stemmed from critics’ desires to stop his father from running for president again and winning in 2024....

The team on Monday announced it has re-signed the veteran to an eight-year contract. Terms weren’t disclosed, though TSN reported the deal is worth more than $11 million per season. “We are extremely pleased that Erik and his wife Melinda have committed to the San Jose Sharks and that they have done so prior to July 1,” general manager Doug Wilson said in a release. “Players with Erik’s elite level of talent are rare and when they become available, it’s important to be aggressive in pursuing them....

The Three Lions will go in search of global glory once again this summer, with Gareth Southgate the latest man to be charged with the task of delivering on expectation. There is slightly less pressure on the current boss than Eriksson faced during his spell at the helm, with the Swede having worked with the so-called ‘Golden Generation’ between 2001 and 2006. He suffered two quarter-final defeats on a World Cup stage and fears England will struggle to progress much past that point while players continue to be pushed to breaking point domestically....

The 21-year-old, signed from Bundesliga giants Borussia Dortmund in a £51 million ($61.9m) deal at the end of the 2021/22 season, faces a frantic spell in his first campaign in the English top flight. City have to play 16 Premier League games by mid-November because of the break for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, which Haaland will not be heading to because his country did not qualify for the finals....

Quite a few players are having ongoing issues with the game this weekend due to Escape from Tarkov servers being crowded. The issue, according to players, involves the game crashing and a “403” error being delivered as the reason. Players are then unable to log back into the game for a period of time afterward. They are eventually able to log back in, but there’s no clear indication of when things are fixed....

It is dizzying progress, indeed. Green Island became a prison under the colonial rule of Japan, which saw a use for the “black tide,” a current that circles the isle and sucks flotsam back to shore. “No one has ever escaped,” says prison warden Chen Shih-chih. He recalls one 1979 attempt by an inmate who swam all night for the Taiwan coast, 20 miles distant, only to reach shore at sunup and find he was back on Green Island....

Sometimes the reason for the same could be the positions they play in or the superior performances of their teammates. In this segment, we bring to you 7 players, who we believe continue to be underappreciated despite the value they bring to the pitch. #1 Georginio Wijnaldum The Netherlands international moved to Anfield after impressing with Newcastle United during their tough last season. However, many Liverpool fans were not convinced of his abilities and dubbed him yet another overpriced and a panic buy by the club....

The likes of Danny Drinkwater, Wes Morgan and Jamie Vardy have to prove that they are not one season wonders as the 2016-17 season promises to be one of the toughest season ever with the arrival of World class players and managers into the league. This will be Leicester’s first stint in the Champions League and the side needs depth in their squad because of the added games. Everyone expected that Leicester will lose their best players in Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez but the club has done well to keep their best talents at the club as Mahrez is all set to stay at the King Power stadium and Jamie Vardy snubbing Arsenal’s interest to sign a new deal at the club along with Kasper Schmeichel, Wes Morgan and manager Claudio Ranieri....

“I knew I had a task,” said Mourinho, who has not suffered three successive competitive defeats since his tenure as Porto manager in 2002. He continued, “But the first Man City goal and this second goal, you can find incredible similarity.” “Kolarov has the ball in a difficult situation in the corner and my player instead of going up and pressing decides to give him space. Today for the second goal, (Nordin) Amrabat on the right side, our left back is 25 metres distance from him, instead of five metres....

Jurgen Klopp named his first ever unchanged lineup after taking over in October last season but will be worried as Liverpool now have injuries to three of their first team players in Philippe Coutinho, Adam Lallana and Daniel Sturridge. Sunderland are back to the bottom of the table after a loss at Anfield keeps them at just 8 points. Let’s take a look at the player ratings from the action packed encounter from Anfield:...

The dressing rooms, which have been witness to many high-voltage moments before and after matches, even at intervals as well, were the places to be avoided if Sir Alex had his say and the players were the targets. According to Giggs, Sir Alex was always in favour of having complete control over the players which no other manager can lay claim to. Giggs said, “Fergie was scary and even now he still scares me....

Leaving aside Wednesday’s cup defeat at Birmingham, Michael Laudrup’s journey had been pretty smooth so far this season. After losing their first two league games they’re now three unbeaten, with a historic Europa League victory against Valencia. They are placed 9th in the table with 7 points. What do the Stats say? These sides have met just 15 times and six of those clashes have come in the last two seasons....

In their first big test under Tim Sherwood in the League, Spurs failed miserably as they were thumped 5-1 by an imperious City side who extended their unbeaten run to 20 in all competitions and also claimed top spot in the process. Ever since Sergio Aguero scored the first goal in the 15th minute, the result was never really in doubt. Spurs never really looked comfortable in possession and although went into the break only one-down, it looked as though it was only a matter of time before City scored more....
