Aston Villa recovered from their 3-1 defeat to Newcastle by thrashing Sheffield United 5-0 to move back into the Premier League's top four. It was Villa's biggest away win since the 2007/08 season, when they beat Derby County 6-0 at Pride Park.
One concern for Villa fans, though, was that Ezri Konsa failed to complete 90 minutes for just the third time this season after going down injured. Unai Emery tried to calm fears after the game by insisting that Konsa's withdrawal was tactical rather than enforced.
The Spaniard is already dealing with a considerable injury list, topped by season-long absentees Emi Buendia and Tyrone Mings, both of whom have damaged their anterior cruciate ligament. Left-back Lucas Digne is expected to be back this month, but Jhon Duran may be out until April.
Now, Villa reporter John Townley has shared a fresh update on Konsa, and unfortunately it appears that Emery's initial confidence was misplaced, with the defender facing a spell on the sidelines.
Konsa out for up to a month
Townley reports that Konsa will be "out for three to four weeks" following an update from Emery in his press conference ahead of Wednesday night's FA Cup fourth-round replay against Chelsea. The 26-year-old has suffered a sprained knee and could miss four Premier League games, starting with Sunday's home game against Manchester United.
In a timely boost for Villa, though, another of their defenders is back available for the clash with Mauricio Pochettino's side. Pau Torres is set to return to the matchday squad having resumed full training at Bodymoor Heath.
"Incredible" Konsa is Emery's most trusted player
It's no exaggeration to say that Konsa has become one of Villa's most important players under Emery. A tactical weapon who can play as either a centre-back or a right-back, he's started every single league game so far, as well as 10 of Villa's 12 matches in the domestic cups and Europa Conference League. In total, he's been on the field for 2,823 mins, more than anybody else in the squad.
In the Premier League specifically, he ranks sixth among outfielders for playing time, as you can see in the table below. Unfortunately, he'll have lost a lot of ground in that leaderboard by the time he returns.

Team-mate Matty Cash has dubbed Konsa an "incredible" player who should be regarded as "one of the best Premier League centre-backs", and the stats justify that assessment. He's won a higher share of his challenges (88.9%) than any other player in the top-flight this term.

Torres' comeback certainly softens the blow for Villa, but it remains to be seen how much their Champions League aspirations suffer without a player who's been among the first names on the teamsheet all season.
Earlier, Callum Ferguson and Tom Cooper had helped South Australia put up a competitive score

Victoria slipped to a last-ball one-run defeat against South Australia in Melbourne despite being on top of their 323 chase until the 45th over, with Aaron Finch’s 119. They needed 39 off 31 balls when Finch fell to Adam Zampa before Kane Richardson conceded only 10 runs in his two remaining overs and Cameron Valente defended 11 in the final over. The result had no bearing on next week’s final.Jake Fraser-McGurk scored eight runs off four balls as soon as he got strike in the final over, but with three needed off the final ball, he failed to connect and only managed a leg bye.Victoria’s chase had been set up by Finch’s 21st one-day hundred and Peter Handscomb’s 87 off 75 balls after Callum Ferguson scored 122 and captain Alex Carey and Tom Cooper struck half-centuries for South Australia.Ferguson has been in stunning form of late – he came into this match on the back of scores of 127 and 91 in the competition – and continued to dominate the Victoria bowling after Carey opted to bat, his 122 coming off 128 balls. Jake Weatherald fell early, and Ferguson lost the company of Harry Nielsen in the 19th over, but added 104 runs with Carey for the third wicket to put SA on the road to a solid score. More than Ferguson, though, it was Cooper’s blitz towards the close – 76 runs came in the last four overs of the SA innings – as his 81 off 46, with five fours and seven sixes, powered them to 4 for 322.In reply, Victoria lost opener Sam Harper in the first over for a duck before Finch led the reply smartly almost till the end, with a 147-run stand for the third wicket with Handscomb. Richardson accounted for Handscomb and Matthew Short chipped in with 35 before Finch was dismissed and the chase went out of their hands.
Bayern Munich chief Uli Hoeness has admitted the club were priced out of a deal for Florian Wirtz after Liverpool sealed a £116 million ($157m) swoop for the Germany star. Hoeness claimed Der Rekordmeister would never pay such a fee for a player, insisting that the Reds’ spending spree showed a transfer market resembling 'Monopoly' this summer.
Bayern priced out of Wirtz as Liverpool spent £116m
Hoeness claims transfer rivals are “playing Monopoly”
Bundesliga champions confident with Kompany’s squad

WHAT HAPPENED?
Wirtz joined Liverpool in a record-breaking deal after shining at Bayer Leverkusen, with Bayern and Real Madrid also exploring moves. Bayern eventually pulled out as they refused to meet the £116m asking price, turning instead to other deals. Hoeness has now slammed Liverpool and, in turn, the Premier League's spending power in the transfer market by also highlighting Newcastle's big-money move for Nick Woltemade.

WHAT HOENESS SAID
Hoeness told German media: “We’re very satisfied at FC Bayern. We are the real winners of the summer transfer window. We have a strong team and didn’t need to strengthen it much. Of course, we would have liked to have Florian Wirtz, but we’d never have bought him for €150 million (£130 million).”
He then added: “Other clubs are playing Monopoly. Newcastle paid big for Nick Woltemade when we were interested. That’s not how Bayern work – we won’t be dragged into that kind of game.”
THE BIGGER PICTURE
Bayern missed out on both Wirtz and Woltemade, with Premier League clubs flexing their financial muscle. Despite that, the Bundesliga champions kept their spending at a modest £75m while raising funds through major sales. Hoeness believes that Bayern's squad remains strong enough to compete across all fronts.

WHAT NEXT FOR WIRTZ?
Liverpool will hope Wirtz can justify his price tag after a slow but promising start under Arne Slot. Bayern, meanwhile, will count on their balanced squad and Kompany’s leadership to chase silverware. The contrasting strategies highlight the widening gulf between German and English transfer markets.
Lionel Messi is being urged to follow David Beckham's example and become an owner when his playing career in MLS is over. A new contract for the Argentine superstar at Inter Miami is being speculated on, with American soccer eager to see the eight-time Ballon d'Or winner remain part of their brand for the foreseeable future. It could be that he stays on for many years to come.
New Messi contract: Terms to be revealed
Details of the terms presented to Messi are yet to be revealed, with it previously suggested that he could agree an extension through to 2028. That would take the South American GOAT beyond his 40th birthday.

The end of a remarkable career would be close by then, with it yet to be determined what Messi will do once record-shattering boots are hung up for the final time. His initial deal in South Florida includes a 10 per cent stake in Inter Miami, but he may decide to head off on his own.
Will MLS find a role for Messi? ex-USMNT star hopes so
Whatever happens, Brad Friedel is hoping that a role is found for Messi in American sport. The former USMNT goalkeeper, speaking in association with , told GOAL when quizzed on what is next for Messi: "I hope from an MLS point of view and football in America that he stays put. I think that a departure would be a big blow to MLS, a big blow to building things up for MLS prior to a World Cup on home soil.
"There have been a lot of players at the end of their careers that have come to MLS. He’s been one that has performed incredibly well, you see his numbers – goals and assists don’t lie. He’s been incredibly professional around the league itself. I think that would be a big blow for the league if he didn’t sign a new deal.
"The thing that makes any professional league tick, in any sport, is the type of media rights deals that you can get to keep the sport going. When you have people like Lionel Messi, it helps a lot.
"For someone that grew up in this country without a professional league at all, I would like to think that perhaps when he has done playing he will still be involved in MLS in an ownership capacity or something of that nature – to keep helping the name and the brand of MLS to grow. That’s from a selfish standpoint. Let’s hope that he stays in Miami."
GettySettled in Sunshine State: Messi & family happy
Messi moved to the United States in 2023, with the former Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain playmaker bidding farewell to European football. His family are settled in Florida, with fresh terms at Inter Miami set to carry him through the 2026 World Cup with reigning champions Argentina.
da spicy bet： In recent years, Crystal Palace have developed an excellent transfer strategy that allows them to pick up bargains every window.
da dobrowin： However, they have also proven to be successful at developing those talents into top players, which will now be the task of new boss Oliver Glasner.
Marc Guehi and Eberechi Eze are two examples of their brilliant recruitment, and they are hoping Daniel Munoz and Adam Wharton will continue this run.
That said, there’s one player that stands out who has seen their market value increase since joining the club.
What Palace paid for Michael Olise
Prior to his move to Palace, Michael Olise was playing his football for Reading in the Championship, the club he made his professional debut at, which was in a 3-0 defeat to Leeds United in 2019.
However, it would be two seasons later that he really started to show his class and immense quality, as over his first two campaigns, the winger made 23 appearances in the second division, picking up just one assist.
That said, during the 2020/21 he announced himself as one of the most exciting talents in England, boasting an incredible record of seven goals and 12 assists in 37 starts, playing as both an attacking midfielder and a winger.
The following summer, Patrick Vieira decided to splash £8m on the left-footed ace, in what has proved to be one of the best steals in recent Premier League history.
Michael Olise’s market value in 2024
Since arriving at the Eagles, Olise has continued to develop as a player, and despite the step up to the Premier League often being overwhelming, the now-22-year-old wasn’t fazed one bit.
The number seven had his minutes managed in the first season, starting just 12 games but playing 26 matches in the league, with a record of two goals and five assists.
Last season, his creativity really began to flourish, as he picked up 11 assists and played in all but one game in the top flight. Unfortunately, injuries have ruined this campaign for Olise, missing 13 games, but he’s started to develop his goal-scoring ability, netting six goals and providing three assists in just eight starts.
One game this season that sums up what Olise’s all about was against Brentford at home when the Eagles won 3-1, and the table below highlights why he’s now valued 650% more than what he cost the club, with recent reports indicating that he could fetch a fee of roughly £60m this summer.

The fact that Olise has added goals to his game now makes him “superb,” as per Football Talent Scout Jacek Kulig, while also putting him among the elite wingers who can both create and find the back of the net themselves.
The France U21 gem can also be a threat via his dribbling or his passing, which makes him extremely unpredictable and difficult to stop. His work rate is also unbelievable, and he is willing to get stuck in for his side, which just makes him even more valuable.
Michael Olise
The signing of Olise will go down as one of the bargains of the past decade, especially if he continues to live up to his potential, and Palace will hope that they can unearth plenty more Olise-like talents in the future.
Sean Williams was named captain, while there was no place for PJ Moor or Ryan Burl in the Zimbabwean side
ESPNcricinfo staff15-Jan-2020Sean Williams will captain Zimbabwe for their upcoming two-Test home series against Sri Lanka starting on January 19. One-third of the players he leads though have never played the longest format.Zimbabwe Test squad to face Sri Lanka
Sean Williams (capt), Sikandar Raza, Regis Chakabva (wk), Craig Ervine, Kyle Jarvis, Kevin Kasuza, Timycen Masruma, Prince Masvaure, Brian Mudzinganyama, Carl Mumba, Ainsley Ndlovu, Victpr Nyauchi, Brendan Taylor, Donald Tiripano, Charlton Tshuma
Among the five uncapped players is Charlton Tshuma, the pacer included after a bicep injury to Tendai Chatara ruled him out of the series. His domestic teammates Victor Nyauchi and Brian Mudzinganyama are also in line for a Test debut with opening batsman Kevin Kasuza and spinner Ainsley Ndlovu rounding out the rookies in the squad.ALSO READ: Lakmal returns, Kusal Perera dropped from Sri Lanka’s Test squadThe biggest exclusion, meanwhile, is that of PJ Moor, the wicketkeeper batsman among the mainstays of the Zimbabwean setup of late. In their most recent international game, he scored an unbeaten 60-ball 92 against Singapore in the last game of a T20I tri-series.Another omission that raised eyebrows was Ryan Burl’s, whose exploits in the Bangladesh Premier League, particularly with the ball, have garnered acclaim. A reputation for being an aggressive batsman may have done his chances more harm than good, even though of late, he told ESPNcricinfo he had been working to mould his game to first-class cricket. He will have to wait to add to the solitary Test cap he currently has, which came in the four-day Test against South Africa in 2017.Regis Chakabva is the wicketkeeper, just as he was for the Zimbabwe’s last Test series, a 1-1 draw against Bangladesh at the back end of 2018. There are more familiar names in the squad, with Brendan Taylor, Sikandar Raza, Craig Ervine, Donald Tiripano and Kyle Jarvis all included. Both Tests will be played at the Harare Sports Club, with the first starting on January 19. This will be Zimbabwe’s first taste of Test cricket in over a year, and the first Test played in Zimbabwe since October 2017, after financial woes played a large part in preventing Zimbabwe from hosting international cricket.
Glasgow Rangers face a quick turnaround from their midweek victory at Ibrox over Ross County as they travel to Perth to face St Johnstone in the Premiership this afternoon.
Philippe Clement’s side have yet to drop points in the league this year and the momentum is certainly with the Gers as they look to secure a first title since the 2020/21 campaign.
Glasgow Rangers managerPhilippe Clement.
With the fixtures coming thick and fast, the Belgian manager may look to make a change or two to his starting XI to take on the Saints.
Rangers team news vs St Johnstone
The 49-year-old coach spoke to the media prior to the match today as he gave an update on the squad, saying:
“Rabbi (Matondo) has a small muscle issue, why he was changed at HT. He had a scan and will miss this game, I think he will be back short-term.”
Rangers winger Rabbi Matondo.
Aside from this, there are no new injury issues thankfully, but that won't mean Clement will rest on his laurels ahead of what could be a tricky test in Perth.
Tom Lawrence started the tie against Ross County and was impressive, yet his recent injury issues indicate that he should be dropped to the bench given the sharp turnaround in games and this could see a first Premiership start for Mohamed Diomande.
Mohamed Diomande could be ideal for John Lundstram
Against County in midweek, Lundstram dropped slightly deeper and allowed Lawrence freedom to roam, culminating in the Welshman succeeding with 100% of his dribble attempts, taking six shots and making two key passes during the tie.
Tom Lawrence
Diomande could provide a similar attacking output should he start against the Saints. The 22-year-old arrived off the bench against the Staggies and completed 100% of his passes, made one key pass and took 14 touches.
The 6 foot maestro could benefit from playing the full 90 minutes as he works his way back up to match fitness and his statistics during the opening half of the season for FC Nordsjaelland.
Indeed, the “aggressive” midfielder – as so dubbed by analyst John Walker when profiling him last month – created three big chances and averaged 1.1 key passes per game in the Danish top flight, while his passing was also impressive, averaging an 89% pass success rate per game.
These statistics were clearly enough to see Clement make a move to bring him to Ibrox and, although it will take a few weeks for him to get up to speed with Scottish football, initial signs are promising.

With a plethora of options to choose from with regard to who partners Lundstram in the midfield, it is certainly a nice problem for Clement to have and this could see him rotate players on a regular basis.
A trip to Perth is never easy, but it will be a good match for Diomande to be thrown into and, with the experience of Lundstram alongside him, there is no doubt the Ivorian can perform well.
Three points is all that matters for the Ibrox side as they look to keep up with Celtic at the summit of the league.
Over the dominant home season, India’s coach Ravi Shastri talked about taking the pitch and the toss out of equation, which, while lofty, is something for dominant teams to aspire to. To a large extent, India did do that in home Tests, but in away conditions against good teams, tosses can play a big part. That was the first thing Virat Kohli mentioned in his post-match interview with Simon Doull after a ten-wicket loss as early as on the fourth morning in Wellington. However, he also spent some time talking about how the India batsmen and bowlers needed to be better despite getting the rough end of the toss.”Day one it was probably the toss that turned out to be very important,” Kohli said. “But at the same time, as a batting unit, we take a lot of pride in being competitive, and we were just not competitive enough. I don’t think we put their bowlers under enough pressure in the first innings. Anything over 220-230, then you are talking a different language. Even the deficit looks much lesser if you get that score on the board – and if you get the last three batsmen out cheaper, which wasn’t the case… But yeah, that first innings put us behind the game already, and that lead put us under pressure, which was hard to come back from.”India’s bowlers don’t usually come up against conditions where staying in good areas for long periods is not good enough to get you wickets. In New Zealand, the definition of good areas is different, and you have to vary your angles a lot to get something out of the slow surfaces that keep getting better as matches progress. India were generally shorter of those good areas, and didn’t quite use variations as well as New Zealand – no doubt, much more accustomed to bowling there – did.Not only that, the last three New Zealand wickets went on to add 123 runs, which broke the back of India’s resolve, which was built largely on Ishant Sharma’s five-for after he beat the odds to make this Test despite a grade-three ligament tear on his ankle in January.”I think as a bowling group they have taken a lot of pride in being competitive and bowling good channels for long enough,” Kohli said. “Till about seven wickets we were really good. Even when Ross [Taylor] and Kane [Williamson] had a partnership, we got stuck in. We thought, ‘Okay if we stop them under a lead of 100, it is a great effort from hereon’. Because the wicket did get better to bat on. But I think those last three wickets and 120-odd runs really hurt us and really pushed us out of the game.”I think overall we really did put in a good effort but we still could be a lot more disciplined. That’s something the bowlers have recognised themselves. That’s not something that needs to be pointed out to them anymore. They were not as happy with their bowling performance as they would have been otherwise. That can happen in this game at the international level, but it’s about how we learn from it and how we bounce back.”Kohli wasn’t about to be harsh on any particular batsman, but wanted a better show from the whole group. “You don’t want to be too hard on the guys because Prithvi [Shaw] has played only two innings away from home now, and he will figure it out. He will find ways of scoring runs. He is a natural stroke-maker, and he will find ways of scoring runs and putting up good starts for us more often than not.”I think Mayank [Agarwal] was outstanding in this game, first innings as well as second innings. Really applied himself well. And he is probably the only guy along with Jinks [Ajinkya Rahane] that got some kind of tempo and momentum going for us as far as batting is concerned. I think we have to stick to our template that has got us success and not think too much about where we are playing or what kind of pitch we are playing on. Our strength is to put enough runs on the board for our bowlers to get attacking. I think that is something as a batting unit that we need to take more responsibility.”Kohli also reaffirmed his faith in Shaw and his attacking qualities during his post-match press conference, when asked if there was any technical issue the young opener needed to sort out.”I think we can sit down and analyse maybe after 8 or 10 similar dismissals,” Kohli said. “I don’t think for a guy who is playing away from home, probably experiencing a different kind of bowling attack at the international level compared to playing at home – he will figure out, he will find ways to score runs because he is a natural strokeplayer and he scores runs. It’s not that he gets small runs, he gets big runs and knows how to get runs.”It’s just a matter of understanding the pace of the wicket and conditions as soon as possible. Again, when he is in a clear frame of mind, he is very, very destructive. I think overseas as you would have seen, whenever we have done well, the opening partnership has been with a lot of clarity and positivity, even clearing the in-field, taking bowlers on, so that you put them under pressure. He is that kind of a player.”Once he feels that he can do it, I think it will be a different ball game. The mindset can shift very quickly. I think as a batsman until you are committing the same mistake about seven or eight times, you can’t really sit down and worry about things too much. It’s just a matter of spending enough time and then things start to flow automatically. He obviously wants to perform and no doubt about it, every batsman wants to. We need to give him that time to get used to the conditions a little bit and once he starts scoring, he will feel more confident about it. I don’t think at this stage he needs to be sat down and be explained what’s going wrong because I don’t see anything wrong. It’s the execution of things which wasn’t there in this game which if it comes off, it’s a whole different language.”
Manchester United are in the market for deals this window and have now been told how much they will need to pay in order to acquire a key target, according to a report.
Who are Man United's transfer targets?
Despite the excitement surrounding the arrival of Sir Jim Ratcliffe and company at Old Trafford, there is a yearning among supporters for new players to be announced at Manchester United to help combat their mixed fortunes in the Premier League.
Erik ten Hag will be eager to ensure capable reinforcements pitch up in the North West and a striking addition is reportedly on his transfer wishlist. Speaking to GIVEMESPORT, transfer insider Fabrizio Romano has revealed that the Red Devils have held tentative conversations regarding Bayern Munich's Eric Choupo-Moting, Stuttgart forward Serhou Guirassy and Borussia Dortmund attacker Donyell Malen.

Romano told the outlet: "To be honest, Manchester United never had the concrete negotiation with RB Leipzig. United had a discussion with Timo Werner's agent just to understand the conditions of the deal. How was the situation around Timo Werner for the January window, but Manchester United.
"United never decided to proceed for the proper negotiation for the transfer of Timo Werner. So they had the same kind of discussion for example with the agents of Choupo-Moting, with the agents of Donyell Malen, with the agents of Serhou Guirassy. All players that could be available on the January transfer market with different conditions."
Queens Park goalkeeper Callan McKenna is believed to be in advanced talks over a move to Old Trafford; nevertheless, he is likely to be one for the future and will take a few years to develop into a senior player. Now, fresh reports suggest that United have been told the price tag of a key target who they have already seen their advances rejected for this month.
Manchester United bid for Morten Hjulmand
According to The Sun, Manchester United offered Facundo Pellistri in exchange for Sporting CP midfielder Morten Hjulmand; however, their bid has been knocked back by the Portuguese giants, who have since laid down the law regarding the Denmark international.

Ruben Amorim's men would require the Red Devils to trigger the 24-year-old's release clause before sanctioning a deal, which is believed to sit at the £69 million mark. United have scouted him in both domestic and European action this term; meanwhile, Christian Eriksen is close friends with the Kastrup-born man and acts as his mentor on international duty.
Morten Hjulmand in action.
Hjulmand, who has been praised for his tenacious qualities by Italian journalists, had made 23 appearances in all competitions this campaign, registering one goal and two assists (Hjulmand statistics – Transfermarkt).
The Red Devils have managed to unearth starlet Kobbie Mainoo as a first-team regular and slotting Hjulmand in beside him and Bruno Fernandes could provide Ten Hag with a nicely balanced engine room for years to come.
