Not one to be confused with a slugger, the Mets utility outfielder entered Sunday’s home game against the Diamondbacks with zero home runs on the season. As his .106/.192/.182 slash line for the season suggests, Nieuwenhuis doesn’t pack much punch from the plate. His hitting woes likely led to his return to the Mets in the first place, as he spent 10 games with the Angels to begin the season before being released....

Clint Dempsey, of the Seattle Sounders, new Toronto FC midfielder Michael Bradley and Club Tijuana's Edgar Castillo are the only players based outside Europe to be named to the roster. “Having Michael Bradley and Clint Dempsey in for Ukraine is very important to us," Klinsmann told the federation's official site.

Unfortunately for the U.S. players, they also struggled with something we hadn’t seen before, a 3-5-2 formation in a match that mattered. Jurgen Klinsmann deployed his squad in the attack-minded system rather than the more traditional 4-4-2 and the result was a U.S. squad that looked nervous and unsettled. By contrast, Mexico looked confident and determined, playing much better in its own unconventional system (a 4-4-2 instead of its more familiar three-man defense) and earned an early lead in the process....

The 31-year-old playmaker was summoned from the international wilderness last month, earning his first national team call since March 2014.

The Premier League giants have only signed 17-year-old defender Sepp van den Berg this close season, while their nearest rivals have strengthened with plenty of moves in the transfer market.

But Klopp, whose team face Napoli in a friendly on Sunday, insisted he was not jealous of Liverpool’s rivals’ spending power....
The Egyptian forward, who has been a talismanic presence for the Reds throughout the 2017-18 campaign, lasted less than half-an-hour in Kiev before being forced from the field. After tangling with Madrid captain Sergio Ramos, Salah left the pitch in tears as his European dreams came crashing down before those of his team-mates followed on an evening to forget. Klopp revealed afterwards that the 25-year-old had been taken to hospital for medical tests, with Liverpool and Egypt now waiting anxiously to discover the full severity of a shoulder problem....

Coutinho scored a stunning individual goal and set up Divock Origi in a 3-1 win over Everton at Anfield on Saturday. The Brazil international – who helped his nation qualify for the 2018 World Cup – has struggled since suffering an ankle injury earlier in the season, having started the campaign in fine form. But Coutinho’s latest display, and that of international team-mate Roberto Firmino, delighted Klopp. “We spoke a lot about the national team and said it’s not so cool that they had to leave wherever to go wherever, but obviously I have to say thank you to the whole staff of the Brazil national team because they gave us both boys back in a fantastic mood,” he said....
During knee arthroscopy, a surgeon uses an arthroscope, a tool about the width of a pencil with a camera and light attached, to view the inside of your knee joint. This allows the surgeon to examine the inside of the knee joint without making a large incision along the outside of the knee, as is done in open surgery. Knee arthroscopy helps protect the knee joint from the risk of infection due to decreased exposure of the joint to the outside environment, as compared with open surgery....

NBA rules state that teams must allow equal access to all members of the media, but during Friday’s post-draft conference, the Knicks barred the New York Daily News from joining the conference.
