The Portugual international limped off in the closing stages of his side's 3-0 Champions League quarterfinal first leg win over Borussia Dortmund. He subsequently sat out the 4-0 win over Real Sociedad at Anoeta and was an unused substitute in the return game against Jurgen Klopp's side, as Madrid scraped through to the semifinals 3-2 on aggregate after losing 2-0 on Tuesday night. It has now been confirmed that the 29-year-old has suffered an injury to his left hamstring and is reportedly set to miss around two weeks of action, which would rule him out of the crucial Clasico next Wednesday....

Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti and La Liga topscorer and former Manchester United forward Cristiano Ronaldo have urged the club’s president Florentino Perez to keep the Portugal international at the Santiago Bernabeu. The 26-year-old has struggled to get into Ancelotti’s Real’s starting line-up with Marcelo in front of him in the left-back position. But injury to Brazil international Marcelo has meant he has been called on in recent weeks, and the former Benfica star put in a polished performance as Real Madrid dumped Bayern Munich out of the Champions League...

The Portugal great left Madrid as the club’s all-time record goalscorer and seeking a new challenge in the autumn years of his career. Ronaldo remains a master goalscorer and has quickly amassed an impressive record, with Juve in the box seat to claim another Scudetto in 2019-20. Here, with some help from Opta, we look at the form that means the 35-year-old remains one of the very best players on the planet....

Mourinho will block De Gea to Madrid The Cantinho da Lili shelter in Gouveia in northern Portugal was set for closure but the Madeira native stepped in to help raise funds to keep it open.

Shelter owner Liliana Santos is delighted with the Madrid forward’s generosity, telling Correrio de Mahna that she appreciates what Ronaldo has done to keep the shelter in business....

“This is insane, this is absurd. What it’s all about is that Denmark wants to get rid of refugees. The plan is to scare people away from seeking asylum in Denmark,” Michala C.

Danish Immigration Minister Mattias Tesfaye said the government needed the framework for a new asylum system before the rest of the details could be presented....

A world-record €222million move to PSG in 2017 saw Neymar surprisingly bring an end to what had been a very promising four-year spell at Camp Nou. But ever since joining PSG, Neymar has regularly been linked with a transfer back to Spain, with reports of Real Madrid’s interest recently giving way to rumours he wants to return to Barca. PSG and their president Nasser Al-Khelaifi are said to be frustrated with Neymar’s attitude and constant flirting with other clubs....

Sadio Mane exploited poor Everton defending in the eighth minute to net his 13th goal of the season, playing a one-two with Roberto Firmino and holding off two opponents before firing low past Joel Robles. Everton’s Matthew Pennington marked his first appearance of the season with an equaliser in the 28th minute, prodding home after Dejan Lovren’s clearance, but was caught out less than three minutes later when Coutinho tore past Idrissa Gueye, cut in past the defender and slammed the ball into the far corner....

The self-isolation system has caused staffing shortages in restaurants and other businesses. Last week, the government said food and transport workers, border staff, police and firefighters could instead opt to take a daily COVID-19 test.

For both squads, the central storyline this season revolved around the quarterback position. Dak Prescott broke his thumb in Week 1 against Tampa Bay, missed a handful of games, and then came back stronger with the help of breakout back Tony Pollard, TD monster Ezekiel Elliott, and stud wideout CeeDee Lamb. Purdy, meanwhile, stepped up after both Trey Lance and Jimmy Garoppolo suffered major injuries, and he has San Francisco riding one of the longest single-season winning streaks in NFL history with the help of CMC, tight end George Kittle, and stud wideouts Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk....

But by the end of the week, Irvin and Williams were preparing to fly off with the team for its second-round matchup with Carolina, and Dallas police were backpedaling like a defensive back. The police said that they had not interviewed–and had no current plans to interview–either player and that their inquiry might last “several days to several weeks.” Williams and Irvin denied all charges, the latter with so much conviction that it would require dissembling skills equal to his football abilities....

Amari Cooper will miss his second game as a result of a positive COVID test. That will knock out one of the Cowboys’ top two receivers. Meanwhile, CeeDee Lamb is dealing with a concussion. He was limited in practice on Wednesday, but he wasn’t cleared by an independent neurologist to get on the field. He will be out of action as a result. With Lamb and Cooper both out, Dallas will be starting some receivers that are talented but may not be familiar to the average NFL fan....

That changed when Fischer led the Arizona Coyotes to a 4-1 win over the Columbus Blue Jackets, with the 21-year-old registering three goals on the night. The Blue Jackets had taken the lead through Pierre-Luc-Dubois just 31 seconds into the game, but Fischer pulled the Coyotes back on equal footing a few minutes later when he finished off a feed from Derek Stepan. Dylan Strome then gave the Coyotes the lead midway through the first period before Fischer scored his second of the night in the middle frame, again off an assist from Stepan....

The Knight Riders are fresh from a dominating performance in the season-opener where they overwhelmed the St. Lucia Stars by 100 runs owing to half-centuries from Colin Munro and Denesh Ramdin followed by a disciplined bowling effort.
