Lallana has not played since Liverpool’s 2-1 Premier League win at Crystal Palace in March after sustaining a hamstring injury.

He’s not injured anymore but he’s not fit yet,” Klopp said ahead of Saturday’s visit of lowly Stoke City....

Such is the case in the latest bit of Odom reporting from TMZ, which says that the free agent veteran has not checked into rehab for a drug problem, contradicting what People.com reported a day earlier. Odom reportedly has received an ultimatum from wife Khloe Kardashian that he seek treatment or see his marriage end, but TMZ notes that Kardashian has heard nothing from her husband in recent days. It's not surprising to see conflicting reports about whether Odom is or is not in rehab....

But Lampard arrived in the box in characteristic fashion, and his equalizer not only served to save Manchester City from an abject defeat but made the day about him rather than the failings of a team struggling for form and consistency. It has been a troubling start to the season for Manuel Pellegrini’s side. Defeats to Stoke and Bayern Munich have highlighted the fact that this team looks to have plateaued rather than continued a gradual progression towards excellence....

A Premier League and Champions League winner during an illustrious playing career, Lampard is gearing up for life on the touchline – the 39-year-old undertaking his coaching badges at Chelsea. Lampard has been linked with the vacant Ipswich Town post following Mick McCarthy’s departure from the Championship side.

If this were true, it would bring healthy balance back to a planet that has been spinning lopsided because of all the foreign money flowing into the United States. But it’s not true. The rise of the euro does not reflect a global vote of confidence in the European economy; it reflects a temporary sentiment of no confidence in United States corporations, due mainly to scandals involving Enron, Andersen, Tyco and a host of others....

Kiffin and the Owls have “had dialogue,” according to a report from The Associated Press. Kiffin has expressed interest in getting back into the head coaching game, and the FAU program would certainly present a major challenge. MORE: Sporting news 2016 All-Americans The Owls have had three consecutive 3-9 seasons under former coach Charlie Partridge, whom FAU fired in November. Florida Atlantic has not gone to a bowl game since 2008, when Howard Schellenberger coached the team to a 7-6 record and a win in the Motor City Bowl....

High-flying Colombo Kings will look to secure first place in the LPL 2020 points table as the competition among the top 3 stiffens. In contrast, after five consecutive defeats, down-and-out Galle Gladiators will be content to get their first win of the season. The last time these two sides met at LPL 2020, it was a truncated 5-over game. Andre Russell made up for the lost action with a staggering 65 runs off just 19 deliveries....

In a photo doing the rounds on Twitter, Eric Trump’s wife, 40, can be seen wearing a sparkling silver dress with unusually long sleeves. Lifehacker editor Lindsey Ellefson tweeted via her verified account, “You’re all concerned about Ivanka cropping out Kimberly Guilfoyle but I’m squarely on Lara Trump’s SLEEVES.” Ivanka Trump, the daughter of former President Donald Trump, seemingly cut brother Donald Trump Jr.’s girlfriend, Guilfoyle, 53, out of a family photo from the nuptials....

Trump, who is former President Donald Trump’s daughter-in-law, was speaking on Fox News Wednesday during a discussion about inflation and the cost of the Thanksgiving turkey to Hannity guest host Pete Hegseth. Former Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Monica Crowley said that President Joe Biden’s administration doesn’t actually care about inflation because they are focused on “the fundamental transformation of the nation.” “So they have a broader ideological agenda here, to remake the economy, reengineer the relationship between the government, the individual, and the economy,” Crowley said....

The New Orleans Pelicans. That’s what they are going to be known as. A Pelican is a bird. Not a bird of prey if you ask Kevin McHale. If you ask me, Pelicans is no more of a silly name than the names of half the teams in the league. The Knickerbockers? The Magic? The Spurs? We have become acclimated to those names and thus don’t think twice about it....

However, the players in this list haven’t done that. In fact, they haven’t shown any of the class or talent that made their new club want to sign them in the first place, and instead, have endured a torrid time. La Liga can be a difficult league to get used to, no matter where you’re coming from. If you aren’t familiar with the teams you’re up against, then you’re in for a real uphill climb from the get-go....

A classy finish from Fernando Torres and a fortuitous strike from Atletico’s top scorer Antoine Griezmann gave the home side a 2-0 lead at halftime. Substitute Angel Correa then made a big impression in the second period, laying on the third goal for Juanfran and the fourth by Griezmann before Thomas Partey rounded off the scoring for the home team. Ruben Castro netted for Betis in the 79th minute when he pounced on a rare error from Atletico goalkeeper Jan Oblak....

Goals from Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema were enough to take all three points, despite Zinedine Zidane’s side needing just a draw to seal first place. Isco provided another important assist for the away side, with Keylor Navas doing well in goal to keep a very rare clean sheet for Los Blancos too. (All players are rated out of 10) Malaga Carlos Kameni - 8 Made a string of brilliant saves to ensure that the scoreline was kept respectable....

#1 Rodri - Villarreal to Atletico Madrid Atletico appear to have done really good business by snapping up one of the most promising young mid-fielders in Spain for just €20 million. The timing is good too, with 22 year old Rodri likely to prove the long-term successor in the holding role to the now-departed Gabi. Having previously come through the Atletico Madrid youth academy, Rodri is familiar with the club and has already shown that he is someone who can make an impact in La Liga following a successful stint at Villarreal....

BARCELONA (Reuters) - Spain’s top division has intentionally changed some kickoff times to suit audiences in Asia in a bid to increase its market share in the continent, La Liga president Javier Tebas said on Thursday at the opening of a new office in Singapore.

While FIFA’s list of nominees for the Puskas award did have some glaring exclusions and the expected inclusion of relatively unknown players, it’s time to now look at the UEFA shortlist of 40 players from which the UEFA team of the year will be chosen. The list, which is heavily dominated by players plying their trade in the La Liga, with 18 of them nominated for the team of the year also features players from the Premier League, the Serie A and Bundesliga, while only one player from the Primeira Liga finds a place on the list, with no player from the French Ligue 1 deemed good enough to be amongst the top 40 players in Europe over the last season....
