Set to face Sporting CP in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals, Arsenal might be dealing once again with the absence of star Bukayo Saka. Arsenal host the second leg of their UEFA Champions League quarterfinal clash against Sporting CP at the Emirates Stadium this Wednesday, looking to protect a slim lead and advance to the final four. While the Gunners enter as heavy favorites, star winger Bukayo Saka has been entirely left out of the Gunners’ squad. Bukayo Saka won’t be featuring in the return leg against Sporting CP due to injury. The England international was widely expected to return for Saturday’s fixture against Bournemouth but failed to make the squad; his subsequent absence from Tuesday’s training session further dims the prospects of him playing a role in this continental decider. Manager Mikel Arteta was noncommittal when asked if Saka or defender Jurrien Timber might return to the fold, offering only that “maybe one of them” could be involved. However, when pressed on the nature of the winger’s injury and its recent persistence, the Spaniard provided a bit more clarity for the worried Emirates faithful. “It’s something that he was carrying for a while. It was an Achilles issue,” Arteta said. “It’s progression but hopefully it’s going to be a matter of days and not weeks. But he has to see when the load is more how he responds to that kind of progression,” he added. Eberechi Eze, Bukayo Saka and Jurrien Timber of Arsenal. Arsenal navigating a fitness crisis Saka isn’t the only concern for a depleted Arsenal squad; Tuesday’s training session raised red flags regarding several other key contributors. Missing from the main group were midfield anchors Declan Rice and Martin Odegaard, along with defender Riccardo Calafiori. While Rice has reportedly recovered and should be available for selection, significant questions remain over whether Odegaard and Calafiori are fit enough to start. This personnel crunch may force Arteta to lean on his depth as he looks to defend a narrow 1-0 aggregate advantage in the Champions League clash. Confirmed lineups for Arsenal and Sporting CP Arsenal’s confirmed lineup (4-2-3-1): David Raya; Cristhian Mosquera, William Saliba, Gabriel, Piero Hincapie; Martin Zubimendi, Declan Rice; Noni Madueke, Eberechi Eze, Gabriel Martinelli; Viktor Gyokeres. Head coach: Mikel Arteta. Sporting CP’s confirmed lineup (4-2-3-1): Rui Silva; Eduardo Quaresma, Ousmane Diomande, Goncalo Inacio, Maximiliano Araujo; Morten Hjulmand, Hidemasa Morita; Geny Catamo, Francisco Trincao, Pedro Goncalves; Luis Javier Suarez. Head coach: Rui Borges.

With a narrow 1-0 win in the first leg against Sporting CP, Arsenal are on the verge of securing the ticket to the 2025-26 UEFA Champions League semifinals. Arsenal host Sporting CP at the Emirates Stadium this Wednesday, looking to punch their ticket to the 2025-26 UEFA Champions League semifinals. Coming off a crucial first-leg victory, the Gunners have several paths to the next round as they look to navigate this quarterfinal clash. In a thrilling opening leg at the Jose Alvalade Stadium, David Raya emerged as the hero for Arsenal, with the Spanish goalkeeper forced into a string of high-caliber saves to keep Sporting at bay. In the dying moments of the match, Gabriel Martinelli perfectly picked out Kai Havertz, who slotted home the only goal of the series to give the Gunners the advantage heading into the home leg. Despite the first-leg win, a 2-1 weekend stumble against Bournemouth has dented Arsenal’s momentum, and Mikel Arteta must now navigate several key absences for the return leg. Conversely, Sporting CP head to London buoyed by a 1-0 away win against Estrela Amadora in Liga Portugal, a result that could serve as a confidence booster for this afternoon’s high-stakes tilt. How an Arsenal win affects the UEFA Champions League bracket A victory against Sporting CP would propel Arsenal into the Champions League semifinals, marking the club’s first appearance at that stage since the 2008-09 season, when they were ousted by Manchester United. William Saliba of Arsenal celebrates after the team’s victory over Sporting CP. In the semifinals, Arsenal would move on to face Diego Simeone’s Atletico Madrid, a side they have already dismantled in this year’s competition. During the league phase, the Gunners secured a dominant 4-0 win at the Emirates, a result that stands as a promising omen for their hopes of maintaining an unbeaten run. How an Arsenal draw affects the UEFA Champions League bracket Should Arsenal play to a draw against Sporting CP at the Emirates, the Gunners would still advance to the next round regardless of the scoreline. Thanks to the 1-0 advantage secured in Lisbon, a stalemate would be insufficient for the Leoes to overturn the deficit. How an Arsenal defeat affects the UEFA Champions League bracket If Sporting manage to pull off an upset on Wednesday, the fallout will depend entirely on the margin of victory. A one-goal defeat for the Gunners would send the match into extra time, with a penalty shootout looming if the aggregate score remains deadlocked after 120 minutes. However, if Arsenal are beaten by two or more goals on home soil, Sporting CP would complete the comeback and advance to the semifinals. Such a result would deal the Gunners their first (and final) defeat of the current Champions League campaign.

Real Madrid are reportedly eyeing Crystal Palace centre-back Maxence Lacroix as a priority defensive signing this summer — and it’s a transfer that could send shockwaves through both the Premier League and La Liga. Why Lacroix Is on Real Madrid’s Radar Spanish outlet Fichajes claims Los Blancos have earmarked the 26-year-old French international as a top target, having already ruled out moves for Arsenal’s William Saliba and Liverpool’s Ibrahima Konaté. With Rüdiger and Alaba both in their 30s and struggling for consistency, Carlo Ancelotti’s side desperately need a long-term defensive solution — and Lacroix fits the bill perfectly. His 2025/26 Premier League numbers tell a compelling story: Tackles per game: 1.4 Interceptions per game: 1.0 Clearances per game: 3.7 Balls recovered per game: 4.3 Passing accuracy: 90% Duels won: 5.3 Crystal Palace Face Defensive Crisis Here’s where it gets tricky for Palace. Having already sold Marc Guehi to Manchester City, losing Lacroix too would be nothing short of catastrophic. Their defensive record this season has been unconvincing, and a second high-profile departure could unravel Oliver Glasner’s rebuild entirely. Can Real Madrid Get the Deal Done? With Chelsea and Liverpool also circling, Lacroix has no shortage of suitors. But Real Madrid’s [...] The post Real Madrid Target Maxence Lacroix in Bold Summer Defensive Raid appeared first on Football Extras.

Dharmesh Sheth is joined by Jonathan Liew, Charlie Eccleshare and Charlie Wyett to reflect on the weekend’s sporting action. We begin with Luke Littler’s emphatic victory over Gian van Veen at Alexandra Palace, securing back-to-back World Darts Championship titles. Are we still underestimating just how good Littler is — and could he one day surpass Phil Taylor’s record of 14 world titles? Attention then turns to the Premier League, as Arsenal edge Bournemouth 3–2. A dominant Declan Rice performance, including a brace, helped extend their lead at the top to six points in a fixture that saw them stumble last season following William Saliba’s red card. Have Arsenal learned the lessons from last year’s title run-in? Next, we turn our attention to the Ashes as England close Day One of the fifth Test. We cross live to Sydney to speak with Adam Collins, who highlights the key partnership between Harry Brook and Joe Root. The discussion also covers Usman Khawaja’s retirement, with the Australian speaking about continuing to challenge racial stereotypes within the game. We then discuss Aston Villa’s impressive form, which has kept them within six points of Arsenal. While Charlie isn’t convinced they’re in the title race, he’s impressed by their performances following the modest work done in the summer. Finally, we’re joined by Gary Cotterill, who reports on Strasbourg’s 1-1 draw at Nice, before bringing the latest as Chelsea close in on Liam Rosenior. Sunday Supplement is a Sky Sports podcast.

Suj and James discuss the 9 games played so far in GW30 and it wasn't quite what many may have hoped it would be, as Mo Salah blanked, all Crystal Palace assets blanked as they got a late qualiser to draw at Southampton, Bournemouth lost to Ipswich and Manchester City strolled a 2-0 victory against Leicester. Rotation bit many, with some like Phil Foden benched, though Bukayo Saka returned as a substitute, but Justrin Kluivert didn't make the squad at all.But fun with flags (does not) continue, with Alexander Isak and Kieran Trippier having potential groin issues and Arsenal's Gabriel set for an extended absence after pulling his hamstring. Replacing Gabriel is high on the agenda, with teammate William Saliba and players with upcoming doubles high on the list of players to target and Newcastle assets will feel right for many looking for additions this week. But the biggest result for many last night was at The Amex, where Aston Villa's victory at Brighton takes away the bonus point potential for Unai Emery and Oliver Glasner, who were both set to be popular for those about to activate the Assistant Manager Chip, and James is among those who wanted to go there... so what now?
