Bayer Leverkusen will hope to edge closer to the top four places when they face Augsburg this weekend at the BayArena. Die Werkself enter Matchday 30 of the Bundesliga after…

From bit-part player at Liverpool to Bayer Leverkusen defensive bedrock and full England international, Jarell Quansah's debut Bundesliga season could scarcely have gone much better. We sat down with the 23-year-old to discuss life at the BayArena, Harry Kane, his FIFA 2026 World Cup hopes and more...

Bayer Leverkusen have been handed a defensive boost with Jarell Quansah officially back in full team training after his recent muscle injury.The centre-back took part in Tuesday’s open session, with club footage confirming his return to group work.His comeback follows the timeline that head coach Kasper Hjulmand hinted at before the 1–0 win over Borussia Dortmund, when he explained that Quansah was close to rejoining the squad. With preparations underway for Saturday’s Bundesliga clash against Augsburg, the defender is now expected to complete a full training week.Quansah had been sidelined for around three weeks due to a thigh muscle problem, missing two competitive matches during that period. In his absence, Loic Bade stepped into the starting XI and delivered strong performances, including in the clean-sheet victory over Dortmund.Now back on the pitch with his teammates, Quansah is once again an option for the matchday squad at the weekend, even if an immediate return to the starting lineup is not guaranteed after his layoff. His availability, however, strengthens Leverkusen’s defensive options at a key point in the season.

Liverpool advanced to the fourth round of the Carabao Cup with a 5-1 victory over West Ham United at Anfield on Wednesday night. The holders had to recover from a Jarell Quansah own goal to ensure their defence moved past the first obstacle but ultimately did so dominantly, with Diogo Jota swiftly equalising. Jota put the Reds ahead on the night four minutes into the second half, Mohamed Salah later rose from the bench to make it three, and Cody Gakpo glossed the score further with a double in the closing moments.

On the 20th and final Podcast of Correspondent Week James is joined by Liverpool fan Dan Lord to discuss The Reds FPL assets and what we can expect tactically and stylistically from new manager Arne Slot. The club have been quiet in the transfer window so far. Could a reason behind this be that all of Trent Alexander-Arnold, Virgil Van Dijk and Mo Salah are entering the final year of their contracts. Can the club afford to take a risk of losing these players for free next summer if agreements on new deals aren't reached soon? Salah v Haaland is discussed in detail, there's discussion on the likely positioning of FPL's GOAT and also incomparision to other Liverpool attackers. Is Diogo Jota, for example, worth a 5.0 saving against Salah? Trent's now down to 7.0. He too is compared to Jota, but is he certain to start in GW1, and might the likes of Jarrel Quansah, Coonor Bradley or Kostantis Tsimikas offer a cheaper route into Liverpool's defence at the start of the season? And interest in Reds assets will be high with a great fixture listv to behin with, but in the longer-term can they challenge Arsenal and Manchester City for the title again?
