Arthur makes Liverpool return in under-21s clash

By Sports Desk February 25, 2023

Arthur marked his return from injury by starting Liverpool Under-21s' Premier League 2 Division One clash with Leicester City on Saturday.

It was the Brazil international's first Reds appearance in any form since September, with a long-term thigh injury sidelining the Juventus loanee.

Arthur has played just 13 minutes of senior football since joining Liverpool from the Bianconeri, appearing as a late substitute in the Champions League defeat by Napoli, while he has also appeared twice for the under-21s side.

The 26-year-old started in the heart of midfield for the under-21s, who were aiming to end a run of three matches without a win.

Liverpool have the right to buy Arthur, who spent two years with Barcelona prior to joining Juventus in June 2020, with the option entailing a reported £32.3million (€37.5m) fee to be paid at the end of the season.

    Brazil legend Marta and the Orlando Pride became National Women's Soccer League champions for the first time after a 1-0 win over Washington Spirit.

    Barba Banda scored the only goal after 37 minutes as the Pride celebrate glory in Kansas City.

    It marks the Pride's first league title, while it is also the first NWSL honour for 38-year-old Marta.

    "I didn't expect ever [to be] in this moment here, but I believe so much that God knows what time is the right time for things to happen," Marta told CBS after the culmination of her eighth season in Orlando.

    "This means so much. Playing with these players, it's something really special that I never had at any other club, so I'm so happy."

    Match-winner Banda became only the third player to score in each of her first three NWSL playoff games after Megan Rapinoe and Amy Rodiguez, while her four strikes in the playoffs is a post-season record.

    Moreover, the Pride's maiden championship-winning season saw them record 14 wins by exactly one goal (regular and post-season), four more than any other team in a single campaign.

    Marta added: "Winning meant everything. We showed what we are capable of when we work together. This victory is for everyone who believes in us."

  • Man United could be without Toone until new year, says Skinner Man United could be without Toone until new year, says Skinner

    Marc Skinner revealed that Manchester United could be without midfielder Ella Toone until the new year after she picked up a calf injury in training. 

    Toone has featured in five games in the Women's Super League this season, but is yet to register a goal or an assist so far this term. 

    The 25-year-old has missed United's last two games and was not selected in Sarina Wiegman's England squad for their upcoming friendlies against the United States and Switzerland.

    She had previously appeared in a staggering 96 straight matches before missing United's WSL showdown with Leicester City last weekend.

    But ahead of the Red Devils' meeting with league leaders Chelsea on Sunday, Skinner confirmed they would be without Toone for not only that game, but for the foreseeable future.

    "We have three games [after the international break and before Christmas]. There's always the hope, but I think you balance and you go, 'right, if we can get her back, we get her back'," Skinner said. 

    "But we're just not going to rush her in this moment because it's a calf injury, it's your running mechanism. If we injure the running mechanism, it takes longer.

    "So ideally we'd like her back for those games afterwards.

    "The projection is she misses this game [Chelsea], she misses the international window, probably misses the first game after that, and then we'll see from there.

    "But because it is such a short block of only three games, we'll assess whether it's worth that or actually resetting to come back after Christmas."
