Aston VillaIan Matsen and Sunderland‘Lutsharel Geertruida’ is on standby list in the Netherlands over concerns about armory Star Jurien Timbers.

NU has reported this The Aston Villa and Sunderland defender will remain on the standby list until Tuesday as Ronald Koeman waits to see if the Timbers can go to the World Cup.

Arsenal defenders are coming back

They report that while the Arsenal defender is back on the road after months of injury, Koeman doesn’t want to take any risks.

The right-back has been included in the 26-man squad for the World Cup, although he last played his match in March. He has not even trained with Arsenal for some time.

Koeman has until Tuesday to make changes to his selection. He is waiting until the last minute before deciding on the Arsenal defender.

“He had to train with the group for the first time today. (To see) if he can make it to the Champions League final. It remains to be seen,” he said at Wednesday’s press conference.

Aston Villa and Sunderland are on standby

Arsenal will play in the Champions League final on Saturday. Timbers was a regular this season but has been out since March with an ankle injury. He is also now recovering from a hip injury.

Koeman is waiting to see whether he features in the final before making his final decision. And that leaves Aston Villa and Sunderland on standby for their World Cup hopes.

Geertruida was part of the Netherlands squad in the last international break, having been a regular for Sunderland this season. Meanwhile, Matsson has played mostly on a substitute basis under Unai Emery at Aston Villa this season.

It remains to be seen who Koeman selects if Timbers is unavailable. For now, it appears he is hedging his bets. He is leaving defenders from Aston Villa and Sunderland on standby while he hopes to get the Arsenal player fit.

of manchester united Manuel Ugarte is looking increasingly likely to leave this summer and his future has been linked to Wolves midfielder Joao Gomes.

The Uruguayan has been unconvincing since joining Paris Saint-Germain in 2024. He has yet to start a game since the arrival of Michael Carrick and has hardly been involved this season.

sports witness Interest from Juventus was recently covered but a deal is likely to be difficult.

This was mainly due to finances, with Manchester United seeking a permanent deal. Juventus were looking for an initial loan, looking for him during the international break.

Now, interest from Napoli has resurfaced but they appear to be focusing more on Wolves’ Joao Gomes.

Mendes is helping Ugarte out

of napolimagazine Emanuele Cammarotto reports on Napoli’s intentions to strengthen their midfield this summer.

They have been given the chance to sign Ugarte, with Jorge Mendes working together to help Manchester United. There is belief the 24-year-old will leave Old Trafford and Napoli are monitoring his situation.

However, their interest in the Red Devils player is not as strong as they would now like to target Wolves’ Gomes.

They attempted to sign Gomes in January and have continued to work on a deal for the player.

This may be mainly due to financial reasons. Wolves’ pending relegation could help Napoli gain an exemption.

Manchester United should accept defeat

The longer Manchester United keeps Ugarte, the further his valuation will fall. They invested a significant amount of money in him and ideally they would like to return the amount paid to PSG.

Italian clubs will not be able to afford this and that is why the Red Devils should be open to discounts.

Furthermore, Manchester United wants at least two midfielders in the summer. Any money earned will only help, with Casemiro also gone at the end of the campaign.

As far as Wolves are concerned, he probably won’t have any say in Gomes’ future. Their best bet is to promote the auction, which will help them earn as much as possible from its sales.
