da 888： + ATUAÇÕES: Dupla de zaga é o destaque negativo em noite pouco inspirada do Corinthians
Antes, na semana passada, o Timão havia sido derrotado para o Atlético-GO, em Goiânia, pelo primeiro confronto das quartas de final da Copa do Brasil.
Com isso, o Corinthians terá pela frente nas próximas duas semanas missões muito difíceis para ‘salvar’ a temporada. Além de reverter os resultados nos torneios mata-mata, a equipe alvinegra terá no próximo dia 13 de agosto um duelo contra o Palmeiras, pelo Campeonato Brasileiro.
+ Confira a tabela da Libertadores e simule os próximos jogos
No momento, o Timão é o vice-líder do Brasileirão, com quatro pontos de vantagem para o líder, que é o próprio Verdão. Um triunfo no Dérbi, que será disputado na Neo Química Arena daqui a duas semanas, pode reduzir a diferença para um ponto.
Antes, o Time do Povo tem um duelo contra o Avaí, em Santa Catarina, pela competição nacional. Caso o clube alvinegro vença na Ressacada, e o Palmeiras perca para o Goiás, em casa, também neste fim de semana, o clássico entre líder e vice será realizado com os clubes tendo um ponto de diferença entre eles.
Com isso, os próximos dias vão requerer ao Corinthians, além da preparação natural, um bom controle psicológico para não se deixar levar pela ansiedade e nervosismo.
Em caso de confirmação das eliminações da equipe alvinegra na Copa do Brasil e na Libertadores, o prejuízo vai além do esportivo e alcançará o campo financeiro. Isso porque, somadas, as premiações para as classificações às semifinais desses torneios renderiam ao cofre corintiano aproximadamente R$ 20 milhões.
Os prêmios por classificações são previstos pela diretoria corintiana na perspectiva orçamentária do segundo semestre que envolve a meta de superávit de R$ 10 milhões no balanço financeiro deste ano.
O Corinthians vive um momento difícil justamente em uma realidade onde desfalques estão retornando, além de atletas chegando, casos de Yuri Alberto e Fausto Vera. Há um mês, quando derrubou Santos e Boca Juniors-ARG, pela Copa do Brasil e Libertadores, respectivamente, o Timão chegou a ter 10 atletas entregues no departamento médico.
A sequência corintiana para os próximos jogos tem: Avaí, neste sábado (6), pelo Brasileirão; Flamengo, na próxima terça-feira (9), pela Libertadores; Palmeiras, no dia 13 de agosto, pelo Brasileiro; e Atlético-GO, no dia 17 de agosto, pela Copa do Brasil.
Manchester United forked out an initial £55m to sign Mason Mount from Chelsea back in 2023. However, the midfielder hasn’t had the best of luck during his career when it comes to injuries.
The England international has fallen out of favour with the Three Lions as a result of his fitness issues, with Red Devils supporters yet to see the best of Mount in the Premier League.
Mount recently returned to the first-team fold with a cameo appearance towards the end of United’s Europa League victory over PAOK at Old Trafford, replacing Amad Diallo in the closing stages for his first game since late September.
But how many games has Mount missed in recent years, and what kind of injuries has he had? With help from Transfermarkt data, we’ve taken a look at Mount’s injury history at Stamford Bridge and Old Trafford since 2022.
Man United: Top 10 No 7s – ranked
Some of English football’s biggest names have worn Manchester United’s No 7 shirt. Here are the 10 best as Mason Mount follows in their path.

Back in 2022, Chelsea were crowned FIFA Club World Cup winners under Thomas Tuchel, with Mount making substitute appearances against Al-Hilal and Palmeiras.
However, a week later, he was forced to sit out of Chelsea’s 1-0 win at Crystal Palace with an ankle injury, but in total, Mount did make more than 50 appearances during the 2021/22 season.

Ranking the 10 worst injuries in the Premier League era
There have been some horrendous injuries in the Premier League era, however, which one is the worst?
ByBrogan Clasper Sep 15, 2023 Pelvic injury, 7 games missed April 25, 2023 to May 31, 2023
Just weeks after making his return, Mount suffered a recurrence of his pelvic injury, which kept him out of the remainder of the Premier League season, leading him to undergo surgery on the problem.
The Blues would win just one of their seven final games without Mount, and his last appearance as a Chelsea player would prove to be the 2-1 defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion on 15th April 2023.

Mount made his Man Utd debut on the opening weekend of the 2023/24 season against Wolves at Old Trafford. He then followed that up with a start away to Tottenham before suffering an unknown injury.

Two months after his return, the injury issues were back for Mount, and a calf problem kept him out for a large part of the campaign.
Initial reports suggested that Mount would only be sidelined for a month, but that soon turned into four months, with the Red Devils man missing 21 games in all competitions.
During that time, Man Utd were dumped out of the Champions League, though they did reach the quarter-finals of the FA Cup in his absence (before going on to win the competition), with Mount marking his Premier League return with a goal against Brentford.

ByLuke Randall Sep 4, 2025 Hamstring injury, 3 games missed August 28, 2024 to September 19, 2024
Mount would have been hoping that the 2024/25 season would be an injury-free campaign, but he suffered his first issue before the end of August.
The midfielder started the Premier League opener against Fulham and kept his place in the side the following week at Brighton & Hove Albion, but after suffering a hamstring injury, he was kept out of two top-flight games and an EFL Cup win over Barnsley.

However, he couldn’t make it to full-time after suffering a nasty head injury in a collision with Radu Dragusin and needed to be replaced. It summed up Mount’s woeful luck when it comes to staying fit at Old Trafford, with another period on the sidelines lasting five weeks.

Hamstring injury, 20 games missed December 22, 2024 to March 16, 2025
Mason Mount’s injury problems continued throughout 2024/25, with his hamstring causing him further issues just before the festive period.
The midfielder had to be replaced early on in a clash with Manchester City and proceeded to miss the next 20 Manchester United games in all competitions, seeing the Red Devils exit both domestic cup tournaments from the sidelines.
He returned to the bench just before the March international break before finally marking his comeback in early April during United’s defeat to Nottingham Forest.
One of the issues that has faced Manchester United over the last few years has been losing players on a free transfer. Whether that has been a player they didn’t want to leave and could not convince to stay at the club, such as Angel Gomes, or a player they failed to sell before their contract expired, like David de Gea, it has been a long-term issue.
It is something that incoming manager Ruben Amorim will hope is cut out when he is in charge at Old Trafford. There are a few players in this position in 2025, including the likes of Harry Maguire and Christian Eriksen.
However, the one player they will not want to lose is winger Amad.
Amad’s record at United
Despite his obvious talent, Ivorian attacker Amad has had a slow start to his career for the Red Devils. He has played 36 times, scoring six goals and grabbing three assists in that time. However, his opportunities have been limited, especially under former manager Erik ten Hag.
Although the 22-year-old has played well over the past 12 months, the Dutchman simply did not give him many opportunities, despite the fact he put in some impressive performances when he did get a chance to play.
This term, he has played just 700 minutes spread out over 15 appearances in all competitions. He already has three goals and one assist in that time. His most recent game came in the Europa League against Greek side PAOK, and before that, he had not started in six successive games.
Indeed, his performance against the Greek side was exceptional. The winger scored both of United’s goals to seal a huge three points in Europe. He received a 9/10 rating from Samuel Luckhurst, the Manchester Evening News’ chief Man United reporter. He explained the youngster was the ‘only good outfield performer’ in the first half.
United fans will be hoping they can finally see the talented young winger flourish under Amroim, and sign a new contract.
His current deal will expire in 2025, and whilst the club have the option to extend it by a further year, they will surely look to offer him a bumper new contract worth more than his current £28k-per-week deal.
Incredibly, there is someone who earns far more than Amad who United seem to be out of patience with after an awful United career. That man is Antony.
Antony’s United record
Brazil international Antony cost the Red Devils £81.3m from Ajax back in 2022. He was a player Ten Hag pushed for, after the pair had plenty of success together in Amsterdam. Sadly, he has not lived up to his extortionate price tag.
The 24-year-old winger has played 87 games for the Red Devils so far. In that time, he has managed just 12 goals and has five assists to his name. Granted, he scored in some important games, including one against Liverpool in the FA Cup and one against Barcelona in the Europa League.
This term, Antony has struggled to get any minutes for the Red Devils. In all competitions, he has played just five times, starting once in the Carabao Cup against Barnsley, in which he scored. He is yet to start in the Premier League and has played just 27 minutes in the top flight.
What makes Antony’s time at United even more outrageous is the amount of money he earns each week. The Red Devils number 21 is currently on £200k-per-week, one of five players to earn that amount or more at Old Trafford.

Marcus Rashford

£15.6m
Mason Mount

£10.4m
Incredibly, that is 614% more than United’s young winger Amad. Given the difference in their performances this season, it is certainly surprising that United’s Ivorian starlet earns so little compared to Antony.
He certainly seems like a player Amorim will look to move on when he is through the door. Given the lack of contribution in two and a half years at Old Trafford, and the fact he earns such a fortune each week, it does not feel like the incoming boss will have any patience to keep him beyond January, if any offers come in.
Mason Mount injury history: Every game Man Utd star has missed since 2022
Crystal Palace’s recruitment team are among the Premier League scouts plotting a transfer swoop on a £25 million midfielder, according to a recent report. Palace’s long wait for a Premier League win ended on Sunday as they claimed a surprise 1-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur at Selhurst Park. Pressure was mounting on manager Oliver Glasner, but he will hope that can ease as they claim their first league win of the season.
£17m Crystal Palace gem unlikely to play again in 2024 after injury update
It’s a blow for Oliver Glasner.
ByHenry Jackson Oct 27, 2024 Crystal Palace news and updates
The run of poor results has left Glasner fighting for his job despite the positive impact he made last season, so much so that new managers were being linked with the role.
Gareth Southgate was someone who emerged as an option for the Eagles last week, but the chances of Palace securing the former England manager are very slim, as he wants to take a break from football. Former West Ham manager David Moyes was also mentioned as an option, with the Scot interested in the possible vacancy. But Glasner has picked up his first league win this season, and he will be hoping it gives him time to turn around the poor form.
Away from manager news, Palace already have their eye on a potential January or next summer signing despite the club’s poor form in the league. The South Londoners are monitoring Trabzonspor midfielder Batista Mendy, as the Turkish side are open to selling the player for £16.5 million, but not in January, as they would want to keep him until the end of the current campaign.
The transfer news doesn’t stop there for Palace fans, as the club also have their eye on another midfielder, who will cost more than Mendy.
Crystal Palace's recruitment team plotting £25m signing
According to Voetbal24, relayed by Tribal Football, Crystal Palace are one of several Premier League clubs scouting midfielder Raphael Onyedika. The 23-year-old midfielder currently plays for Belgian side Club Brugge and has done so since 2022, when he joined from Midtjylland.
Onyedika has become an important player for Brugge, helping them compete at the top in Belgium as well as in Europe, where he has grabbed one assist in three Champions League games this season, and the form he’s shown has earned him nine caps for Nigeria so far.
Now, according to this report, Palace are among the English clubs keeping an eye on him during this campaign. Brugge are said to be open to selling the midfielder when the January transfer window comes around, with their starting price being 30 million euros, which is roughly £25 million.

Onyedika has had some disciplinary issues on the pitch this season for Brugge, but among the scouts who have watched him, there is no doubt about his talent and potential. The 23-year-old emerged on the radar of Galatasaray during the summer, but their efforts to sign the midfielder were rejected, leaving the door open for a move to the Premier League.
Australia quick Tayla Vlaeminck has returned to Melbourne Renegades, signing a two-year deal despite the fact she is unavailable for next season’s WBBL due to a foot stress fracture.Vlaeminck returns to Renegades where she started her WBBL career and played three seasons before moving to Hobart Hurricanes. She has returned to Melbourne to rejoin close friends Sophie Molineux and Georgia Wareham at the club.”I’m really excited that I’ve decided to come back to the Renegades,” Vlaeminck said. “It’s enticing to be back at home and close to family and friends. I’ve grown up with ‘Soph’ and ‘Wolf’ and a lot of the girls. I obviously played at the Renegades with a lot of the girls beforehand as well, so I know everyone really well and hopefully, it’s going to be an easy transition back into the team.”Vlaeminck has been ruled out of cricket for a year following another navicular stress fracture in her foot which she suffered in January during the early stages of the Ashes and meant she missed the ODI World Cup. It was the second consecutive global event injury had curtailed for her after she withdrew from the 2020 T20 World Cup.She will not play in the WBBL for Renegades in the first year of her two-year deal but will rehab under their watch. Part of her recovery to strengthen her feet has included working with The Australian Ballet.”We’re starting to make good progress now, which is nice,” Vlaeminck said. “I obviously won’t be playing this season but hopefully I’ll be able to contribute off the field, still get around the girls and help out some of the bowlers and look to play the following year, which is exciting.””Training at the ballet is something completely different…it’s been kind of cool to get into a different high-performance environment to see how that works and grab a few little things here and there which I can hopefully bring back to cricket.”Melbourne Renegades general manager James Rosengarten said Vlaeminck’s signing was a long-term investment.”Tayla won’t play this year as she continues her recovery, but we’re committed to supporting her through this period,” Rosengarten said. “She already has strong relationships at the club and we know she will be a great asset to our group off the field too.”Our list strategy is not only about building our squad for WBBL08, but to set us up to challenge over a sustained period. To have the likes of Tayla, Sophie and Georgia locked in beyond this season is fantastic and we look forward to adding more talent ahead of the season.”

da gbg bet： Sheffield Wednesday and Danny Rohl are believed to have held discussions to sign free agents in the near future, according to a new update from The Sheffield Star.
Sheffield Wednesday latest news
da heads bet： The Owls have come crashing back down to earth after their thrilling 4-0 win at home to Plymouth Argyle on the opening weekend of the Championship season, losing their next three matches in the competition.
Confidence was sky-high after that victory, but losses to Sunderland, Leeds United and Millwall have shown Rohl that there is a lot of work to do in order to prevent another relegation battle, let alone be thinking about a possible promotion charge in the coming months.
Next up for Wednesday is a trip to Queens Park Rangers on Saturday afternoon, with the west London club currently 12th in the table – eight ahead of the Owls – in what is another important day at the office for Rohl and his players.
It was a productive summer transfer window at Hillsborough, with a number of signings made, including the permanent arrival of Ike Ugbo, who shone on loan last season. That's not to say that further quality is needed, however, and a free transfer update has emerged.
Sheffield Wednesday in talks over free agent signings
As reported The Star, Sheffield Wednesday have held talks over free agent signings, as Rohl looks to bolster his squad options further, with the manager saying:
"Maybe it looks sometimes easier from the outside to think 'Oh he is free and he is free'. We have some information, maybe some players are still free but they have different things in their mind what they want to do, maybe change to a different country but they have to wait until the new season starts in that country. We will look to all these pictures and if there is opportunity and it makes sense from both sides, then there is no question mark that we shall do it, but if it is not possible then we will not do it."
Asked whether they had held discussions with any available players, Rohl added: “Of course. It's not like we sit here and do nothing! We do it, we do our homework, but there is a lot more to it than just bringing a player here, there is a bigger picture and at the moment it could also be helpful to have a smaller group that grow up together and that they go through this situation, then we are stronger than before.”
These last three games have certainly exposed Wednesday when it comes to their quality and depth, showing that they are still a fair way adrift of the best teams in the Championship, most notably Sunderland and Leeds.
As mentioned, this is a good group of players with plenty of options all over the pitch, but if the right individual is available to bring in for free, the Owls should jump at the chance as soon as possible.

Rohl didn't name-check anyone in his comments, so it remains to be seen who Wednesday are potentially looking at snapping up, but former Newcastle United defender Paul Dummett is currently without a club and could be a good example of a shrewd option.
Granted, he is now 32 years of age, but he could provide experience at the back, and is capable of playing at centre-back and left-back, adding more versatility to Rohl's squad.
