The fifth and deciding game of the PWHLs semifinal playoff series between Minnesota and Montreal scheduled for Monday night has been postponed.The league announced Game 5 between the Frost and Victoire would not take place in Laval, Quebec, as planned because of player safety concerns related to an illness.Two people with knowledge of the situation told The Associated Press the illness is limited to Montreal. The people spoke on condition of anonymity because the PWHL is not revealing that information.The PWHL said medical assessment has determined that the symptoms are not consistent with hantavirus.The rodent-borne disease has drawn attention in recent days after several Canadians were identified as contacts linked to a deadly outbreak aboard an Antarctic cruise ship, though no Canadian cases have been confirmed.It was not immediately clear when the game will now take place, though the league expects to provide an update within the next day.The decision was made following consultation with medical personnel and in accordance with the leagues commitment to the health and wellbeing of players, fans, staff and all those involved in the competition, the PWHL said.The winner will face the Ottawa Charge in the Walter Cup Final after they defeated the Boston Fleet in the other first-round matchup.

The Frost forced Game 5 with a 3-1 win at Minnesota on Friday night.The teams flew together by charter to Minnesota for Games 3 and 4, but traveled back to Montreal separately on Saturday.The PWHL said earlier in the day that Games 3 and 4 of the best-of-five final at Ottawa were set for May 18 and May 20.

Paulo Dybalas time with the Argentine national team appears to have reached its conclusion. When head coach Lionel Scaloni submitted his preliminary 55-man roster for the 2026 World Cup on Monday, the Roma forwards name was omitted. Scaloni opted to move forward without the 32-year-old playmaker, likely signaling an end to Dybalas run with La Albiceleste. Dybala has not featured for Argentina since late 2024. While he was a member of the squad that lifted the trophy in Qatar, his role has diminished as injuries and the emergence of younger options shifted the teams direction. Chelseas Alejandro Garnacho and Benficas Gianluca Prestianni are among those that made the preliminary list Prestiannis inclusion comes despite a global FIFA ban for conduct during a Champions League match, which would see him miss the first two group stage matches against Algeria and Austria, if he makes the final cut. Lionel Messi was included in the 55-man list, though the Inter Miami captain has not yet publicly confirmed his participation in the tournament. Argentinas technical staff will now use the coming weeks to trim the group down to the final 26-man squad by May 30. The team is scheduled to play two warm-up matches in the United States, facing Honduras at Texas A&Ms Kyle Field on June 6 and Iceland at Auburns Jordan-Hare Stadium on June 9. Argentina is in Group J, where they will face Algeria on June 16, before facing Austria on June 22 and will wrap up the group stage against Jordan on June 27.
