Youssouf Fofana has been a key player under all three of his AC Milan head coaches so far, and it seems Massimiliano Allegri is trying to build the midfielder up. Milan tried desperately to bring Fofana to the club last summer; it seemed that they would have to wait until the summer just gone to land the midfielder initially. However, they eventually got a deal done, and it was worth it.
Injuries were the primary culprit, though there were certainly some underperformances as well. Ronald Acuna Jr. and Spencer Strider both missed time, as they did in 2024, and when they played they were still working their way back into form. Getting those stars and others, such as Austin Riley and Matt Olson, back to full capacity and/or productivity is the Braves' best hope for a quick bounce-back. The projections think they have a good chance of getting that.
The physical toll has been real. Schaefer admitted that the body doesn't feel the same every morning anymore - not with games every other night, back-to-backs, and constant travel. Some days feel good. Others don't. The adjustment, he's learning, is about managing the lows as much as enjoying the highs. "You just push through it," he said. "Doing the little things - in the gym, off the ice, recovery, nutrition - that's how you keep yourself as close to 100 percent as you can."
"We talked about giving them reasons to travel, reasons to cheer," he said. "Certainly love seeing everybody around the hotel when we got there and on the way to the game, and at the game."
I ask [the national team] to do the same we're doing here: that they take care of him. He's changed, he's much better, he's training very well, he does daily treatment in the gym...
In the 82nd minute against Borussia Dortmund, Timo Hübers fell to the ground clutching his knee. The FC defender had to be brought off on a stretcher, with the pictures on TV heightening the early fears. After full-time, the 29-year-old was brought to the MediaPark Klinik in Köln via ambulance.

It's the latest chapter of a stop-start comeback. After damaging his anterior cruciate ligament in the 2-2 draw with Arsenal in September 2024 and subsequently undergoing surgery, Rodri was back training on the grass in February. In April, he returned to full training with the squad, making his return to the team with seven minutes off the bench in a 2-0 win over Bournemouth at the end of May.
Indeed, according to SPORT, Deco met with Dani Olmo's agent, Andy Bara, in Barcelona to review the injured midfielder's current situation and lay a roadmap for his recovery. The Spanish international has been struggling with a series of injuries this season, though both the club and his camp remain calm.

As reported by Diario AS, Pedri has been one of Barcelona's most used players this season, featuring in 17 official matches and clocking up over 1,400 minutes - around 91% of the club's total game time so far. Constantly tasked with linking defence and attack, Pedri has been carrying the weight of a side that has at times lacked rhythm and cohesion, which has led to visible signs of fatigue and frustration in recent weeks.

Jayson Tatum is staring at a long road to recovery as he works his way back from a ruptured Achilles tendon. But even if the Celtics star forward might miss the entire 2025-26 season due to his injury, one NBA assistant coach believes that Tatum won't miss a step once he does make his way back out on the parquet.

I want to see her continue to work to not just build endurance, but to be able to handle contact 94 feet as it's going to be in-game, and to be able to do that and sustain from an endurance standpoint, Fever coach Stephanie White said on Tuesday. That's going to take multiple practices to make sure that there's no regression. And, as most of us know, when we get fatigued, we look different, and see how she plays through fatigue.
West Ham United expressed their commitment to Michail Antonio's recovery, stating that the club's priority is to support him personally while he deals with the aftermath of his accident.
