Chelsea midfielder Jorginho says the dismissal of Thomas Tuchel came as a surprise , revealing the Blues players feel partly responsible for his exit.

The German coach was axed last week in the aftermath of a surprise defeat to Dinamo Zagreb in the Champions League, which followed on from Premier League losses against Southampton and Leeds United during an underwhelming start to the season.

Chelsea moved quickly to appoint Graham Potter as Tuchel s successor at Stamford Bridge, with their first game under his guidance coming on Wednesday against Salzburg.

With last week s Premier League action postponed following the death of Queen Elizabeth II, Tuesday s pre-match news conference represented the first opportunity for questions on the managerial change.

Milan striker Robinho has been named as Diego Costa s replacement for Brazil s upcoming friendlies with Honduras and Chile.

The 2014 FIFA World Cup hosts face Honduras in Miami on November 16, before taking on South American rivals Chile in Toronto on November 19.

Head coach Luiz Felipe Scolari had intended to select Atletico Madrid striker Costa following a fine start to the season that has seen him score 13 goals in all competitions.

However, Costa turned down the call of his homeland, signing a letter to the Brazilian Football Confederation (CFB) declaring his intention to use his Spanish citizenship to play for the world and European champions.

Costa s decision has seen Robinho drafted in by Scolari, with the 29-year-old in line to win his first cap since 201…

QPR s financial records show the club made a loss of £9.8million for the financial year ending May 2014.

Premier League strugglers QPR have announced losses of £9.8million for the financial year ending May 2014.

Following relegation from the top flight in 2012-13, the Loftus Road club bounced straight back via the play-offs last season, but are just one place above the drop zone, ahead of Burnley and Aston Villa on goal difference.

The club s records showed a loss of almost £10m, although expenditure has been significantly lessened and £60m worth of debt has been written off.

Expenditure was reduced by £22m, mainly driven by lower player costs and this trend will continue in future years as the club will continue to bring losses down, a statement r…

This has been a very interesting year for Dean Henderson. The 22-year-old goalkeeper got promoted with Sheffield United to the Premier League and then returned for the new season with the Blades, this time in the top flight. That has worked out perfectly for him, as he had some incredible performances so far, coming off the back of his U21 Euro 2019 campaign with England.

But it looks like Henderson, who is Manchester United player on loan at Sheffield United, might actually change the club this coming summer. According to the ESPN, Henderson is being targeted by Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain for a potential transfer this summer.

Henderson has emerged as one of the Premier League s top goalkeepers this season and he might even be important for England at EURO 2020 thi…

Lionel Messi s inspirational form through February has seen the Barcelona captain collect his first Player of the Month award of the season.

February was Messi s most fruitful month of the 2020-21 campaign to date as he scored seven goals, two more than he managed in January.

No player scored more than him, while Real Sociedad s Alexander Isak was the only other individual to net more than four times in the month.

Messi s goalscoring habits helped Barca win four of their five games in the qualifying period, all of which saw him score at least once.

As such, Barca have improved their chances of potentially sparking a genuine title scrap in the final months of the season, with the Blaugrana only five points adrift of the leaders Atletico Madrid.

Benfica boss Jorge Jesus has revealed his desire to bring Portugal international Fabio Coentrao back to the Estadio da Luz.

The 25-year-old left the Primeira Liga club to join Real Madrid in July 2011, but made just 16 Liga starts last term as he failed to regularly oust Marcelo at left-back.

And Jesus says he is open to the idea of the defender returning to Benfica again next season, should he decide to leave the Bernabeu in order to secure first-team football.

I would really like to have Coentrao, he told Marca. Fabio is a player that the fans love and we all got him to grow when few believed in him.

Coentrao, who reportedly cost Real Madrid €30 million, won the 2010-11 Portuguese title and two Taca da Liga s during his four years at Benfica.

He has si…

New Zealand forward Rory Fallon has joined Scottish Premier League side St Johnstone on a one-year deal.

Fallon, who made 15 appearances in the SPL last season for Aberdeen, will have the chance to appear in European competition for the first time after St Johnstone qualified for the UEFA Europa League last season.

The 31-year-old has 14 caps for his country and three goals, having also played in the 2010 FIFA World Cup.

The New Zealand-born former Barnsley, Swindon Town, Swansea City, Plymouth Argyle man was most recently with Aberdeen and has signed ahead of the UEFA deadline for next week’s Europa League t…

There were two reasons for Marseille fans to celebrate on Tuesday as Dimitri Payet made his first appearance since returning to the club in a 2-1 victory over Lyon in the Coupe de France.

Payet engineered a £25million move back to the Stade Velodrome having only left to join West Ham in 2015, his departure from London Stadium coming in acrimonious circumstances.

The deal was completed on Sunday and the 2016 Ballon d Or nominee was named among Rudi Garcia s substitutes for the visit of Lyon.

Supporters chanted Payet s name before kick-off, and within 24 minutes they had another reason to cheer when Rod Fanni headed in Maxime Lopez s free-kick.

PAYET PAYET , how much you missed that?
