Real Madrid consider Castilla registration plan for 140 million signing to facilitate Rodri arrival reportReal Madrid are closing in on signing Yan Diomande from RB Leipzig, with the Ivory Coast winger on his way to Spain.After weeks of negotiations, the Spanish club have agreed a monstrous 140 million package deal, including bonuses, to bring the player to the Santiago Bernabeu.Diomande will now undergo his medical, sign his contract and be unveiled as Madrids latest superstar signing.Madrid looking to create room for RodriNow, according to Alberto Pereiro on Onda Cero, Real Madrid are considering registering Yan Diomande with Castilla as part of a wider plan to preserve room in the first-team squad for Rodri.The club are studying whether the former Leganes winger can initially be registered with the reserve team despite arriving as one of the biggest signings of the summer.The objective would be administrative rather than sporting, with the winger still expected to work and play under Jose Mourinho.Arrival imminent. (Photo by Stacy Revere/Getty Images)The proposal offers another indication that Real Madrid are trying to accommodate both Diomande and Rodri rather than choosing between the two operations.Diomande is viewed as a major investment for the present and future, while Mourinho wants Rodri to provide greater control and playmaking quality in midfield.Barcelona have advanced in the operation to sign Rodri in the last few hours, but it looks like Los Blancos have still not given up.Registering the Ivorian with Castilla could give the club greater flexibility while they complete the remaining changes to Mourinhos squad.Not a sporting demotionDiomandes expected role remains firmly with the senior side.Mourinho sees the teenager as an option on either wing and has already started planning how to integrate his pace and one-against-one ability into Real Madrids attack.A player arriving for such a substantial fee will naturally be expected to feature prominently, regardless of where he is initially registered.Rodri move has stalled. (Photo by Carl Recine/Getty Images)Diomande, despite his age, is already ready for the highest level of football and also has World Cup experience following his outing with Ivory Coast.Rodri operation is about more than spaceCreating space would solve only one part of the Rodri equation.Real Madrid must still reach an agreement with Manchester City while ensuring Barcelona do not pull ahead and get him to agree to a deal first.The 30-year-old Spaniard looked destined to join Los Blancos, with it being suggested that he could take the No. 16 jersey at the club.However, should Bara beat Real Madrid to his signing, Diomandes Castilla registration could allow the club to sign someone else this summer.Firstly, Los Blancos need the required approvals to register Diomande with Castilla, and it remains to be seen whether they get permission for that.

SPORT. Hansi Flick steps in: calls Rodri to join BaraFC Barcelona has made a major statement in the transfer market. Hansi Flick has decided to personally take charge of the negotiations to secure the signing of Rodri Hernndez, star of Manchester City and a key target for the Bara board.As journalist Carlos Monfort revealed in SPORT, the German coach held a phone conversation with the Spanish midfielder in recent hours. During the call, Flick conveyed the clubs genuine interest and outlined the key role he would play in his project.This strong move confirms the Blaugrana sides definitive entry into the race for the Madrid-born holding midfielder. The managers direct involvement is aimed at speeding up a strategic operation to strengthen Baras midfield ahead of the challenges to come.The phone contact also comes at a crucial moment. It was recently leaked that Barcelona has managed to gain the upper hand and move into pole position to complete his signing, overtaking Real Madrid in the race.Despite the financial complexity and Rodris importance at Manchester City, optimism reigns within the Catalan club. The ambitious sporting proposal explained by Flick could be decisive in tipping the balance in favor of Camp Nou.This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.

The running back market keeps moving while Jahmyr Gibbs waits.The Indianapolis Colts have agreed to a two-year, $44 million extension with Jonathan Taylor, according to Jonathan Jones of The Athletic. The deal can reach $47 million through incentives, giving Taylor a base average of $22 million per season in new money.For the Detroit Lions, this is another contract Brad Holmes must account for as negotiations with Gibbs continue.Taylor Deal Reinforces the New Running Back MarketTaylors extension comes one day after Atlanta signed Bijan Robinson to a three-year deal worth $66.75 million before incentives. Robinsons contract averages $22.25 million annually and includes $51 million guaranteed.Taylor now lands just behind that annual figure despite entering the deal at age 27 and carrying a much heavier career workload than Gibbs.That comparison only strengthens Gibbs position.Detroits 24-year-old star has produced 5,029 yards from scrimmage and 49 touchdowns through his first three seasons. He is also expected to take over as the Lions full-time lead back after Dan Campbell declared him Detroits new bell cow.The days of using Saquon Barkleys $20.6 million average as the only meaningful benchmark are gone.Robinson is at $22.25 million. Taylor is at $22 million. Gibbs will almost certainly want more.Gibbs Has a Stronger Age ArgumentTaylors contract is important because it shows teams are still willing to commit major money to established running backs approaching their late 20s.Gibbs offers Detroit a different proposition.The Lions would be paying for his prime rather than rewarding him after years of accumulated punishment. Gibbs has two seasons remaining under team control, including a fully guaranteed fifth-year option worth roughly $14.29 million in 2027.That gives Holmes contractual leverage, but it also gives Detroit an opportunity to spread a large signing bonus across several seasons before the extension years begin.A deal in the neighborhood of four years and $92 million would average $23 million annually, allowing Gibbs to surpass both Robinson and Taylor without pushing the market into a reckless new tier.Pressure Builds on Brad HolmesGibbs remains present at the Lions facility but has not participated in training camp practices during his hold-in. Holmes confirmed this week that the two sides remain in dialogue, though he offered no indication that an agreement is close.Each new running back contract reduces the uncertainty.Detroit now knows the neighborhood. The question is whether the Lions are willing to place Gibbs at the top of it.Taylors deal also illustrates the benefit of acting early. Indianapolis waited until the final year of his contract and still paid $22 million per season. Detroit can secure Gibbs two years earlier, lower his long-term risk and avoid another market jump next offseason.Bottom LineJonathan Taylors two-year, $44 million extension gives Jahmyr Gibbs another useful comparison in his negotiations with the Lions.Taylor is older, has absorbed considerably more NFL contact and still received $22 million annually. Robinson received $22.25 million.Gibbs now has a powerful case for at least $22.5 million per year, with $23 million becoming an increasingly reasonable target.The market is no longer waiting for Detroit.Brad Holmes knows the price. Now he has to decide whether to pay it.

Carlos Alcaraz last played a competitive tennis match in mid-April [Getty Images]When Carlos Alcaraz walked off the court at Rod Laver Arena in January, he was on top of the world.At 22, he had just completed the career Grand Slam, defeating all-time great Novak Djokovic in the Australian Open final, winning his seventh major overall and his third of the most recent four.A few months earlier he had decimated his rival Jannik Sinner in the US Open final in what was the most impressive performance of his illustrious career to date.But the Spaniard has now missed the French Open and Wimbledon, going 114 days without playing a competitive match due to a wrist injury he suffered in Barcelona in April.After returning to training, he has now withdrawn from the upcoming Cincinnati Open, and with the US Open less than a month away, Alcaraz's ability to defend his title is in serious doubt.So, why exactly is Alcaraz's injury proving so troublesome, and how problematic can wrist issues be for tennis players in the long run?How bad is Alcaraz's injury and how common are wrist issues?Alcaraz has been suffering from tenosynovitis, a painful inflammation of the fluid-filled sheath that surrounds the tendon on the inside of the wrist.Tenosynovitis is typically caused by repetitive movements like gripping and swinging a tennis racket, and can lead to swelling and ongoing tenderness.Minor cases can take weeks to recover, mostly managed by rest, but more severe issues can require significant physiotherapy and potentially even surgery, with recovery taking up to a year.Alcaraz has not undergone surgery, but his latest withdrawal will take him to over four months out injured, and for a portion of that he was unable to use a racket at all.Wrist injuries are particularly worrisome for tennis players because the joint plays a key role in every contact between the racket and ball - the way the wrist rolls through a shot helps generate power, and its dexterity is vital for delicate touches like drop shots, which Alcaraz has demonstrated an impressive mastery of in his career so far.The lack of muscle surrounding the bones and tendons in the wrists also makes rebuilding strength difficult, meaning the length of absences can be difficult to predict."They're much tougher injuries," 1996 Wimbledon champion Richard Krajicek told Tennis365."It's really difficult to reset when you start playing again [after this type injury]. You need to go step by step."It's not as clear-cut as tearing the ligaments in your ankle, which [you know takes] three or four months and then you can play again."Alcaraz's first training sessions involved him practicing his swings with a stringless racket, before progressing back to the real thing [Getty Images]As tennis has become quicker, with the majority of players on both tours hitting hard from the baseline and using a double-handed backhand, the ability to generate power and topspin has become even more important, increasing the strain on players' wrists.Grand Slam winners Dominic Thiem and Juan Martin Del Potro both suffered recurring wrist injuries throughout their careers which eventually led to their retirements."Wrist injuries are becoming more significant in the game", says James Ross, a physiotherapist who works with players at Grand Slams and other tournaments."A big factor is technological improvements - rackets and strings are better, so the ball is coming at you with more force and you've got to be able to absorb that."Tennis players also have a more gruelling schedule than ever before, putting more strain on the joints, and the balls are inconsistent between tournaments - changes like that mean the body has to adapt and that presents an injury risk."Why can returning from a wrist injury prove so difficult?Alcaraz won his last match, beating a qualifier in the opening round of the Barcelona Open, but was in visible discomfort and withdrew before the following round.Photographs and videos were posted to his social media channels showing him participating in a training session in Murcia on Tuesday, sporting the longer hair he has grown out during his absence.A competitive return is still a few weeks off at least, however, meaning he will at best be carrying almost five months' worth of rust into the US Open, or at worst won't be able to play at all.But with wrist injuries in tennis, waiting longer can help prevent the problem becoming recurrent."The biggest risk of injury is a previous injury - if you have had it once, you are more likely to have it in the future", Ross adds."If a player can get back over a period of a few months and they don't have a reoccurrence, generally they will be ok. "But some things can become chronic and the pressure of the sport to come back, earn money by playing, and keep your ranking points, is a risk."One of the key challenges a wrist injury presents is psychological - once a player has suffered a painful injury in the joint which controls so much of their technique, it can be difficult to fully trust it again."Wrists aren't easy", said Andy Murray towards the end of his career, having suffered injuries in both wrists in his early 20s."When the ball is low you know you really have to use your wrist to get the ball up and down, or when the ball is coming fast and quite high you need to use your wrist a lot to bring the ball down."It's difficult when you try to come back [from a wrist injury], because the pain that you feel when you initially hurt it, mentally it's very difficult to let go of."The increasing use of the dominant hand to form a two-handed backhand has increased the strain on the wrists of top tennis players [Getty Images]How does Alcaraz's absence compare to modern legends?Two missed Grand Slams are possibly about to become three for Alcaraz, who is suffering the kind of extended absence from tennis which other modern greats have managed to avoid.Roger Federer didn't miss two consecutive Grand Slams until he was aged 38 and far beyond his physical prime, while Rafael Nadal missed two when he was 26, but the second of those was due to illness rather than injury.Novak Djokovic has never missed more than a single major, and rival Sinner has played in every single Grand Slam since his first in 2019.Before his injury, Alcaraz had been performing at an extremely impressive average of two Grand Slam titles per year. Continuing at that pace would have him level with Djokovic's record of 24 by 2034, when he will be only 31.Alcaraz will hope to return to top form as soon as he is back on court, but reaching the same level of performance following a wrist injury isn't easy."The wrist doesn't get great blood supply and it doesn't heal very quickly," says Ross. "It takes real time to build strength in it and the management is very complex."Restoring confidence is down to how rehab goes - you can feel amazing and then get a setback, and it's how you deal with that."We also treat injuries as windows of opportunity - you might not be able to hit a tennis ball right now, but let's work on your cardiovascular fitness, work on the core and lower body, or see how you mentally decompress and cope with having a holiday."You really have to keep the player motivated."

As preparations continued into Thursday for both the warm-up match and the upcoming Test series, Gill found himself needing medical attention after taking a knock on his thumb while batting in the nets.However, the positive news is that the batsman quickly resumed training after receiving primary treatment.View this post on InstagramA post shared by Cricket News (@cricketnews_com)MORE:Report: BCCI tightens fitness norms with Bronco, 2K tests post India injury crisisWhich Indian players remain available for Sri Lanka Tests due to injury?An injury to the captain is about the last thing India needed, given how badly their preparations have already been disrupted heading into this tour. Nitish Kumar Reddy and Harshit Rana were both ruled out earlier, and things got worse when premier fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah, along with Sai Sudharsan and Washington Sundar, picked up injuries.Bumrah's exclusion from the series opened the door for Auqib Nabi to earn his first India call-up. At the same time, Sundar looks unlikely to feature in the opening Test after suffering a hamstring problem during the ODI series against England.Sudharsan's situation remains equally uncertain, as he continues recovering from a toe injury and wasn't even part of the travelling squad to Sri Lanka, instead staying back to complete his rehabilitation at the Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru. His participation in the first Test still hangs in the balance.MORE:Why Mohammed Siraj has earned the right to lead India's Test attackIndia's fitness woes demand a rethink, not just patchwork fixesThe sheer volume of injuries piling up for India before a single ball has even been bowled in this series should be setting off alarm bells within the team management.Losing Bumrah, Sundar, and Sudharsan before the tour even began was concerning enough, but Gill picking up a knock during a routine nets session shows just how fragile the squad's physical condition currently is.A thumb knock in the nets might not sound like much next to a hamstring tear or a toe injury, but it's part of a pattern India can't just shrug off anymore. Between overlapping formats, one tour rolling straight into the next, and barely any time to actually recover, the cracks are starting to show.Bringing in a new face like Auqib Nabi every time someone breaks down might paper over the gap for now, but it's not something India can keep doing indefinitely.MORE:'Respect senior players': Rahane's indirect dig at India selectorsWhat India really needs is a serious look at workload management across their contracted pool of players, rather than reacting to each fresh injury as an isolated incident.If this pattern continues into bigger series later in the year, the cumulative effect of these fitness issues could end up costing India far more than just a warm-up match preparation window.For all the latest cricket news, opinion, and commentary and to share your voice, head to ourFacebook,Instagram,andX (Twitter)pages.

An improbable story is playing out on the offensive line at Chiefs training camp. Kahlil Benson started 12 games at right tackle for Indiana during their run to the national title last year, but went undrafted in April. He earned a roster spot with the Chiefs after a tryout at their rookie minicamp and has impressed enough to take all the first-team reps at right tackle over the last two days of practice. Pete Sweeney of the Kansas City Star notes that Benson has taken the majority of those reps since camp opened and he's now got an inside track to join left tackle Josh Simmons as a starter up front. "I think Kahlil is doing a great job. I think he's a very physical player. I think he should just add on to that," Simmons said, via Brett Kennedy of KQTV. "I think you can't really teach effort. I mean that's what he's giving out there, so that's really all I'm telling him right now is keep doing that effort."Jaylon Moore was expected to be the top choice at right tackle in Kansas City this season, but Benson now has momentum and continued success in the preseason could make him one of the league's unlikeliest starters in Week 1.
