crystal Palace They face Fiorentina in the Conference League quarterfinals on Thursday. The game at Selhurst Park could prove huge for the Italian side, who are in a relegation battle from Serie A.

Things have improved over the past few weeks for La Viola, who are unbeaten in four league games. The European competition will be a different challenge, as they have had to struggle against the likes of Rakow, Jagiellonia and even Lussen.

The Polish team took them to extra time last month, even though the Florence club won 3–0 in the first leg. In short, this has been the story of Fiorentina’s rollercoaster campaign.

Their strange record in the Conference League will not be the only problem against Crystal Palace, as Paolo Vanoli’s side struggle with a number of fitness concerns.

Many uncertainties for Fiorentina

gazzetta dello sport Today praised Nicolo Fagioli, who played a key role in the second leg against Rakao. He also scored against Hellas Verona at the weekend and should feature against the Eagles.

A key player returning for Fiorentina is Dodo, who was missing against Verona. He has already returned to training should he travel to London to play against Crystal Palace.

This is the only positive, as Rolando Mandragora is likely to be out. Manor Solomon, Nicolo Fortini and fullback Fabiano Parisi should also remain out. Notably, the Israeli winger has not played since the beginning of March due to a thigh problem.

That’s why Fiorentina will rely heavily on Fagioli, who could also have been called up to the Italian national team a few weeks ago. After a disappointing first few months he has turned a corner and is La Viola’s most important player at the moment.

Our opinion: Fiorentina can’t surprise

For now, Vanoli’s team has one major goal for the season and that is to avoid relegation. A club as big as Fiorentina cannot reach Serie B and the campaign has been a nightmare.

This has affected their performances in the Conference League and it is evident in every game.

Therefore, Crystal Palace may not face major problems on Thursday. Even though Fagioli and Moise Kean will be involved, things sometimes go wrong for the Florence club when they play an extra game in a week. They will also play the second leg next week, which will increase the pressure on them.

Oliver Glasner’s side have not played a game since March 19 and that could tip things in their favour.

Uruguay are concerned about the injury to Tottenham Hotspur’s Rodrigo Bentancur, who is pushing for a place in Marcelo Bielsa’s squad for the World Cup.

The midfielder last made an appearance for Tottenham in a 3–2 league defeat against AFC Bournemouth on 7 January. He suffered a hamstring injury in the same tie, which forced him to go under the knife.

Bentancur has been on the sidelines since then, meaning he did not play under Igor Tudor, who replaced Thomas Frank in February.

Spurs faced a difficult period under Tudor [one point in the league] And earlier this week appointed Roberto De Zerbi as his successor.

On March 13, Game Witness broadcast news The Uruguay international was 15 days further into his rehabilitation. The same source indicated that he could return to the field with Tottenham at the end of April.

Fresh injuries cause concern for Tottenham and Uruguay

espn sports There is a report on the players that Marcelo Bielsa could select for the World Cup.

Some have to ensure their place because of their position under the manager while some still have to struggle.

Real Madrid’s Federico Valverde, Manchester United’s Manuel Ugarte, and Flamengo’s Giorgio de Arrascaeta are all untouchable in midfield. Flamengo’s Nicolás de la Cruz and Rodrigo Bentancur also have the same status.

However, the 28-year-old has been ruled out of the game due to injury and is ‘doubtful for the World Cup’.

This indicates that he will not be ready before the start of the tournament in June, meaning he will not be able to feature again for Tottenham Hotspur this season.

Bielsa speaks to journalists after Tuesday’s draw against Algeria montevideo Has released his comments. The manager says his plans may change depending on the situation.

“Plans are one thing, and reality is another; sometimes they collide,” He said.

“Maximiliano Araújo had not made his debut in three years, and those mentioned, such as Ronald Araújo, Rodrigo Bentancur, Nicolás de la Cruz and Darwin Núñez, are players who have faced different situations

“Bentencur suffered a long-term injury and is currently recovering. Darwin has not played competitively for some time, and de la Cruz is a player who was important during Uruguay’s best times and now he is trying to find his form and become a starter for Flamengo, which is what we want. There are always nuances in the plans that arise from reality.”

What’s next for Bentencur?

Roberto De Zerbi’s immediate task is to help Tottenham Hotspur avoid relegation. They are unlikely to be able to rely on Rodrigo Bentancur and the chances of using him this season now seem slim.

The South American has played 2,072 minutes in 28 matches for the Premier League side this season. De Zerbi could see a role for himself next season, if it is not one of the areas he wants to bring his choice to.

Leeds United’s Noah Okafor is uncertain whether he will play in Switzerland’s friendly against Norway on Tuesday.

Premier League side invest £18 million [€20.7m] The winger was signed from AC Milan last August and has four goals and one assist in his first season in England.

His performances for Leeds United were not enough to earn him a place in Switzerland manager Murat Yakin’s squad. In fact, he last made an appearance for his country in November 2024.

Last October, Sports Witness broadcast news He had a misunderstanding with the coach during Euro 2024. Questions were raised about his attitude and efforts during the tournament.

Yakin and Tammy traveled to England in February to speak directly with Okafor. East opened the door He returned to his national team in March, before a stroke ruled him out.

The player returned to the field in Leeds United’s goalless draw against Brentford before the international break. Last week, Yakin called late include him In the team for two matches this month.

Tuesday’s edition of new zurich newspaper A preview of Switzerland’s friendly against Norway later today.

Noah Okafor was an unused substitute in last week’s 4-3 friendly defeat to Germany. The newspaper now reports that the plan was for him to get some minutes against Die Mannschaft.

However, this was not possible as he suffered an injury during the warm-up. It is unclear whether the Leeds United player has recovered from the defeat as his participation against Norway is now “doubtful”.

In other words, the former AC Milan player is doubtful to play for his country for the first time in 15 months. It’s another cruel twist of fate for Okafor and he could be forgiven for feeling that his partnership with Switzerland is somewhat doomed if he’s not ready.

The situation will not please Leeds United

Noah Okafor’s latest fitness status will be a matter of concern for Daniel Farke and his team.

The manager will hope that the attacker’s injury is not serious and that he will be fully fit upon returning to the club. Leeds United will face West Ham United in the FA Cup quarter-finals after the international break.

He was not 100% fit until the international break, and that theme continues.

Bucks vs Pascal Siakam game status

Given his questionable designation on the injury report, it seems unlikely that Pascal Siakam will suit up for Indiana on Sunday in Milwaukee. To say that the Pacers have a lot of injury reports for this game would be an understatement, as the team currently has ten players listed as doubtful for the match.

These include Quenton Jackson, TJ McConnell, Andrew Nembhard, Aaron Nesmith, Peter Taillon, Ben Sheppard, Jalen Slauson, Ethan Thompson, Obi Toppin and Ivica Zubac.

Meanwhile, the Bucks have yet to submit their injury report, as they are coming off their second consecutive loss to the Atlanta Hawks on Saturday.

Zubac’s inclusion on the injury report is notable, as the big man finally made his long-awaited Pacers debut last week in a home game against the Phoenix Suns, having been acquired by the Los Angeles Clippers before the trade deadline.

Indiana has been in full tank mode the past several weeks, regularly sitting with several key players per night, and hasn’t won a game since the All-Star break. This is a tremendous effort from Indiana to add another star talent this offseason to help the team join in next year when Tyrese Haliburton returns from his Achilles injury.

The Pacers and Bucks will tip off in Milwaukee at 3:30 PM ET.

The Chicago Bulls continue their road trip Sunday night when they face the Sacramento Kings at Golden 1 Center. Chicago is entering the matchup with two wins from its last three and will look to carry the momentum against the 14-50 Kings.

However, they will have to do so with several key injuries, with Josh Giddy, Matas Buzelis, Jalen Smith and Patrick Williams all listed as questionable on the official injury report. Giddy and Bouzelis are both dealing with right ankle sprains, while Smith and Williams are dealing with left shin and right quadricep sprains, respectively. Sacramento has lost three consecutive games and is struggling with several injuries.

Josh Giddy injury, Matías Bouzelis status vs. Kings

Giddy’s availability is a game time decision. He was not involved in Chicago’s most recent win against the Phoenix Suns, but delivered a double-double of 20 points, 12 assists and eight rebounds in the two teams’ last meeting.

In their likely absence, Collin Sexton, who scored 30 against Phoenix, and Tre Jones will be expected to carry the offensive load. Meanwhile, the last time these two teams met, Bouzelis had 27 points and he wasn’t even involved in Chicago’s last game. Nonetheless, fans will hope that despite the potential absence, they have enough firepower to pull off another win.

After losing 11 consecutive games in February, the Bulls have won two of their last three games. They are currently completely out of the playoff race and need consecutive wins to get back into the picture.

Additionally, the Kings have dropped 20 of their last 22 games, which puts them firmly in the lottery race. They will also be without key players like Domantas Sabonis, De’Andre Hunter and Zach LaVine, and could suffer another loss at home.

The Denver Nuggets host the Boston Celtics at Ball Arena in Denver on Wednesday night for a dominant showdown. However, Denver received some worrying news in the first half, when star point guard Jamal Murray left the game due to illness.

“Jamal Murray is questionable to return with illness,” Vinny Benedetto of The Denver Gazette reported via a social media post on Twitter from the former star.

Before exiting the game, the former Kentucky Wildcats star point guard had two points on 1-for-3 shooting from the field and an assist in just eight minutes of action.

This story is being updated.

The Dallas Mavericks are set to take on the Sacramento Kings on Thursday. However, it appears the club are already aware of the designation of star rookie Cooper Flagg and newly acquired veteran Khris Middleton for this competition.

Reports indicate that Flagg has officially been ruled out of the game against the Kings, while Middleton is listed as questionable, according to NBA insider Marc Stein. Flagg will miss his fifth consecutive game for the Mavericks. PJ Washington has also been ruled out on the injury report.

“The Mavericks’ Cooper Flagg (left midfoot sprain) will miss his fifth consecutive game on Thursday when Sacramento visits Dallas…Dallas has also ruled out PJ Washington (ankle) and listed Khris Middleton (shoulder) as questionable.”

While Flagg is still dealing with a foot injury, according to Steen, he is still in the running for the Rookie of the Year award. With his return to the air, Steen reminded fans that the 65-game rule does not apply to the Roy Award.

“Cooper Flagg last played for Dallas on Feb. 10, but has missed a total of eight games this season. Also: Remember, the NBA’s 65-game rule does not apply to the Rookie of the Year race.”

The 19-year-old phenom has played 49 games in his debut season in the league. He has been as advertised so far, playing at point guard and averaging 20.4 points, 6.6 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 1.2 steals per game, shooting 48.2% from the field and 30.2% from beyond the three-point line.

The Mavericks will continue to monitor Cooper Flagg’s injury in the coming days. Meanwhile, the franchise can reveal the official status of Khris Middleton ahead of the clash against the Kings on Thursday night.
