Napoli manager Carlo Ancelotti has admitted Marko Rog could leave the club before the month is out, according to . However, the trophy-laden coach has also made it clear that any potential departure of the midfielder from Naples would only be temporary.
The Serie A side initially signed Rog from Dinamo Zagreb in the summer of 2016 on a season-long loan, after which they made the deal permanent for a reported fee of €13 million.

Market: Swansea City double chance
Odds: 3/5 @
Looking to make it three Championship wins on the bounce, Swansea will make the trip to St. Andrew s when they face off against Birmingham on Saturday afternoon.
Starting with the hosts, while Birmingham might have managed to pick up a point away at Huddersfield in midweek, Lee Bowyer s side will know that they were lucky to have left with a 0-0 draw. Although the former Charlton boss might have seen his side open up the 2021/22 campaign with a 1-0 win against Sheffield United, the Blues have rather drastically failed to build off of that result back in August. Heading into the international break with a dreadful 3-0 drumming at the hands of Nottingham Forest, the Midlands outfit find themselves in the midst of a s…
Everton welcome Chelsea to Goodison Park on Sunday in a game that will mean little for the English Premier League standings.
David Moyes side sit in seventh place and will only slip to eighth should Fulham and Chelsea record victories on the English Premier League season s final day.
But the Toffees have a solid recent history against the Londoners, with Chelsea having not beaten Everton since the FA Cup final in 2009, when Guus Hiddink was in charge of the Blues.

One Toffees victory and four score draws have settled the five clashes since, with Everton s triumph coming in penalties in their fourth-round replay in the FA Cup this season.
Each of their past three encount…
Tottenham forward Richarlison feels ready to carry the weight of expectation again for both club and country as the Brazil squad prepare to face England at Wembley.
The 26-year-old returned from minor groin surgery in November to hit nine goals for Spurs as Ange Postecoglou’s side chase Champions League qualification.
Richarlison admitted it was a tough spell dealing with his injury setback, which saw him avoid shooting during warm-ups because of the pain, and he also sought the help of a club psychologist to support his mental well-being.
Richarlison, who is closing in on 50 international caps, knows the pressure which comes with the Brazil number nine shirt – having been in tears when taken off after failing to score in the World Cup qualifier against Boliv…
