ISKANDAR PUTERI, MALAYSIA - FEBRUARY 17: Johor Darul Ta'zim fans show their support after the team's victory in the AFC Champions League Elite 2025-26 East Region Group Stage match between Johor Darul Ta'zim and Vissel Kobe at Sultan Ibrahim Stadium on February 17, 2026 in Iskandar Puteri, Malaysia. (Photo by Ashok Kumar/Getty Images) | Getty ImagesIts an exceedingly busy end to Chelseaa two-week preseason tour, with the Blues taking on Malaysian champions Johor Darul Tazim barely 24 hours after our friendly against AC Milan. It may be a relatively short journey across the Java Sea, from Jakarta, Indonesia to Iskandar Puteri in Malaysia, which is right at the southern tip of the country, next to Singapore, but its still a relatively rare occurrence that wed have two games, friendly or otherwise, in such quick succession. Thankfully, our preseason squad is over 30 strong at this point still, so there should be plenty of fresh legs for this one.Date / Time: Sunday, August 9, 2026, 8pm (local), 13.00 BST; 8am EDTVenue: Sultan Ibrahim Stadium, Iskandar Puteri, Malaysia a fairly new stadium that opened only about six years agoForecast: Hot, chance of thunderstormsOn TV:none (UK/USA);elsewhereStreaming:Paramount+ (USA), FanCode (India); StarTimes (NGA); CFC+ (UK/intl) CFC+is Chelseas new-ish streaming service; you can watch there for 9.99 (or subscribe for the whole year for 19.99)Johor Darul Tazim team news: JDT are the back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to--to-back defending champions of the Malaysia Super League, having won the last twelve seasons in a row, and counting. The last four years theyve done so alongside a domestic treble, even. Theyve performed a bit less spectacularly in continental competition, but they did make it to the quarterfinals of the AFC Champions League last season as well.They are currently managed Xisco Muoz, who led Watford to Premier League promotion in 2021, but struggled at subsequent appointments, including a 12-game winless stint in charge of Sheffield Wednesday, and a disappointing year in charge of my hometown team in Slovakia before taking the JDT job in 2025. Hes only lost 6 of his 56 games managed since.The team is a mix of local talent and quite a few imports from the Spanish lower leagues, including new signing Juan Diego Molina Martnez, who goes by the nickname/mononym, Stoichkov, after the legendary Bulgaria and Barcelona striker. Its probably fair to say that hes nowhere near as good.Chelsea team news: Xabi Alonso treated the Milan friendly more or less like a competitive game, making only a couple changes at the hour-mark before introducing a few more players for the final few minutes. So presumably all those who played 90 minutes (including Romo Lavia!) or anything close to that (including all the big stars), will be getting the day off in this one. Promisingly, it wasnt just Alonso who treated the Milan friendly like a proper match, and we got the best performance of the preseason from the players as well. The manager was pleased enough with what he saw, knowing that were only still just getting started.I think that we will get better and by the start of the Premier League season we will be ready. But even that will be another starting point in the evolution of the team. So it will be a process that takes months and in every game.-Xabi Alonso; source: Chelsea FCPreviously: This will be our fifth game of the preseason, with one more to come, next weekend at home against Real Sociedad. The squad will start to take its final shape by then.

[Getty Images]Wrexham boss Phil Parkinson hopes to ensure players such as Max Cleworth are physically ready for the Championship campaign by fielding them in a behind-closed-doors encounter with League One Wigan Athletic on Monday.Their final warm-up before the league season follows Friday's 1-0 Carabao Cup first-round defeat at Middlesbrough.Parkinson has been managing his squad's readiness for what lies ahead, with centre-back Cleworth, 23, among those to have their fitness levels closely monitored."We'll play a strong team behind closed doors on Monday. Max Cleworth, for example, had an Achilles problem that meant he was slow to get going in pre-season and he needs to start on Monday, and there are others like that who need some game time," Parkinson told Wrexham's website.He believes his players will have benefited physically from the Middlesbrough encounter.Parkinson added: "It was always going to be a test for us, and we've had to manage some of the players' minutes that was pre-decided but we'll get them back and have a good week now."We got the two new lads [Danny Imray and Ben Whiteman] some minutes, which is important."Wrexham head to Welsh rivals Cardiff City on Monday, 17 August in their Championship opener (20:00 BST).

Ravindra Jadeja brought some light-hearted fun to Indias warm-up match against Sri Lanka Cricket XI in Colombo when he imitated Kuldeep Yadavs bowling action from the stands.The moment became even more entertaining when head coach Gautam Gambhir was caught laughing at Jadejas near-perfect act.The commentator summed up the scene, saying, "There you go, Ravindra Jadeja. He is imitating Kuldeep Yadav. I am telling you that. See the reaction, see the face, the expression. That is how he (Kuldeep) comes into the run-up," while Gambhirs priceless reaction added to the amusement.Watch: SonySportsNetwk (@SonySportsNetwk) On the cricketing front, Devdutt Padikkal strengthened his case for a place in Indias playing XI for the opening Test with a classy unbeaten 142.

Photo by Melissa Tamez/Icon Sportswire via Getty ImagesCaitlin Clark picked up her eighth technical foul of the season, triggering an automatic one-game suspension, but the WNBA overturned it mere hours later.During the Indiana Fever vs. Chicago Sky game, Clark picked up a technical foul at the end of the third quarter when she ran into a baseline official while off-balance.The referee instantly gave Clark a technical, prompting light protests from the player before she moved on, knowing that this technical could force her to miss Tuesdays game against the Liberty.WNBA overturn Caitlin Clarks technical as she avoids suspensionThe decision for Clark to get such a soft technical foul led to outrage on social media, with the Fever likely lodging a complaint to get it rescinded within minutes of it happening, and the league resolving it within an hour of the game ending.WNBA has rescinded the technical foul on Caitlin Clark, which wouldve been her eighth of the season and an automatic one-game suspension, keeping her out of Fever-Liberty on Tuesday. That was fast. Kudos to the league for handling it so quickly.Its clear in the video that Clark was off-balance and didnt intentionally run into the ref with malice. No WNBA player should be suspended over such a soft technical.The league also wouldnt want Clark to miss a crucial game in New York on Tuesday, as the Fever look to establish themselves as serious title contenders.Photo by Melissa Tamez/Icon Sportswire via Getty ImagesClark put up 26 points with 11 assists while shooting 5-6 from three-point land. The Fever picked up a 90-86 win to improve their record to 20-12, the best in the Eastern Conference this season.The 19-13 Liberty will not be an easy opponent for the Fever on Tuesday, so having Clark available for that game will be huge.Clark is still liable to be suspended if she picks up another technical over the remaining 10 regular-season games, so she will have to continue being careful.Read more:WNBA Commissioner addresses Enes Kanter and other former NBA players declaring for the 2027 DraftDave Portnoy calls on Caitlin Clark to quit WNBA after latest controversy and fans agreeSteph Currys former teammate has a message for Enes Kanter Freedom ahead of NBA to WNBA journey

HE'STHE REAL DEAL@QuillanSalkilldjust dominated in his first UFC main event!! #UFCVegas120pic.twitter.com/0QWKyQMqVD UFC(@ufc) August9, 2026The Ultimate Fighting Championship returned to the Meta Apex with12 fights and a well-matched lightweight main event. The UFC Vegas 120 headliner saw veteran contender MateuszGamrot take on an exciting prospect in QuillanSalkilld. The UFC Fight Night event also had key fights in thewelterweight, featherweight and strawweight divisions that willhave repercussions in the months to come.Here are the matches to make for the UFC Vegas 120 main cardwinners.QuillanSalkilld vs. Benoit St.DenisSalkilld (13-1) picked up the biggest win of his career in hisfirst UFC main event at the expense of Gamrot, who submitted to arear-naked choke in the first round. The talented Australian is now6-0 inside the Octagon and is a bright young contender at just 26.After two wins over tested veterans, its time for the Aussie toface someone still in their prime. Benoit St.Denis is exactly the right level of step up, as the God ofWar can put away tough fighters but comes up short against thetruly elite. If Salkilld can get past St. Denis (17-4), then atitle shot could only be a few fights away. Meanwhile, St. Denisneeds to bounce back after a deflating loss to PaddyPimblett, so this would be a fitting return.DiegoFerreira vs. DrewDoberFerreira (20-7) took home a unanimous decision victory after anabsolute war with BillyQuarantillo. Despite being over 40, the Brazilian hasnt sloweddown and had two great callouts in Jim Millerand KingGreen. I like both of those fights, and if they dont happen,then Dober would be another great veteran to match the Fortis MMAproduct against. They were supposed to fight back in 2020, andDober is also coming off an impressive win. Lets see these twofan-favorite lightweights finally throw down before they bothretire.Related UFC Vegas 120 round-by-round scoringYadier DelValle vs. MichaelJohnsonDel Valle (11-1) retired DarrenElkins in brutal fashion, knocking him out in just 35 seconds.The Cuban Problem looked impressive bouncing back from his firstcareer defeat to JordanLeavitt and showed serious power in his hands. After retiringThe Damage, Id like to see Del Valle face another dangerousveteran. Johnson would make sense, as "The Menace" is 3-1 in hislast four despite losing to Dober earlier this year. Lets see ifDel Valle can put away another lightweight mainstay or if thecrafty veteran still has more left in the tank.AlexiaThainara vs. TatianaSuarezIt wasn't easy, but Thainara (15-1) showed off her well-roundedgame in a back-and-forth fight against AmandaLemos. Surviving a scare in the second round, "Burguesinha"showed her composure and outpointed the former title challenger.The Brazilian earned another strawweight contender next, and Suarezwould make sense. The American fell short against Weili Zhangbut recently beat Lemos and LupitaGodinez in impressive fashion. Whoever emerges victorious willbe in striking distance of a title shot.TyCole Millervs. Jean-PaulLebosnoyaniMiller outclassed Billy Goffon the feet and likely broke his orbital bone en route to a third-round TKO.Still unbeaten at 8-0 as a pro, Miller deserves a step up after twostraight UFC victories. Lebosnoyani (11-2), a fellow welterweightprospect, fits the bill nicely. The 27-year-old is coming offback-to-back decisions over Seok HyeonKo and PhilipRowe. The winning prospect will prove they are the real deal at170 pounds and ready for more established fighters going forward.
