🚨 Arsenal hit with devastating Gabriel injury blow .

Mikel Arteta and Arsenal will face Real Madrid in the Champions League quarter-finals with their backs against the wall. And they'll have to do so without Gabriel, arguably their finest defender. After picking up an injury in their 2-1 Premier League win over Fulham last time out, Gunners fans have received the news they feared. According to the club's official report, the Brazilian international has sustained a hamstring injury that will necessitate surgery. "Gabi will undergo a surgical repair procedure to his hamstring in the coming days, and immediately begin his recovery and rehabilitation programme, with the aim to be ready for the start of next season," the news release stated. "Everyone at the club will be fully focused on supporting Gabi to ensure he is back to full fitness as soon as possible." The club has already experienced numerous injuries this season, including Bukayo Saka, Kai Havertz, Gabriel Martinelli, Martin Ødegaard, Ricardo Calaf...

Southgate criticizes England players for 'creating an issue' at Euro 2024.

Gareth Southgate claims that England fans' booing and jeering of him is "causing an issue" for his players, who he adds will need their backing at Euro 2024.


When the head coach and his assistant, Steve Holland, entered the pitch following Tuesday's 0-0 draw with Slovenia in Cologne, they were welcomed with a harsh reception.

Despite the fact that the outcome secured top spot in Group C as they prepare for the knockout stage, the pair were booed by the travelling fans, and cups were thrown on the field after another lackluster performance by the Three Lions.

"I understand it," Southgate said in his post-match press conference. "I won't back down from it. The most essential thing is that supporters stick with the team.

"I understand the narrative toward me, which is better for the squad than it is toward them. However, it creates an odd operating environment. I have never seen another squad qualify and obtain similar results.

"I understand it, I'm not going to back away from it, but I'm very proud of the players for how they're operating within it."

Southgate told BBC Radio 5live that he could accept the criticism, but he hopes the fans will rally behind England's players in the round of 16 and maybe beyond.

"They (fans) were brilliant, in the second half especially there was a constant noise around the team," according to him. "I understand that people are dissatisfied with me; that is the fact, and I will not back down from that. I need them to support the squad.

"I need to deal with what I'm dealing with. I was not going to back down from walking over to thank everyone for coming and providing the support they provided, but I understand that this is causing problems for the group.

"I can handle it, but I need them to support the players. The more fans are as they were in the second half, behind the squad, it is a huge boost for them, since we are operating in a very strange atmosphere."

Thierry Henry was denied a joyful homecoming as France was defeated by gold medal winners Spain.

Exactly 36 years after Vinnie Jones, Dave Beasant, Lawrie Sanchez, and others ripped up the rulebook to propel Bobby Gould's Wimbledon to a storied FA Cup victory, Thierry Henry's France fell agonisingly short of capturing an emotional Olympic gold medal in front of a sold-out Parc des Princes in Paris. Henry, who gave his young French team the nickname the 'Crazy Ones' due to their fun-loving nature, won nearly everything as a player, and despite the stars appearing to align for a historic gold medal on home turf, the Arsenal legend was overshadowed by Santi Denia's slick Spaniards in a dramatic 5-3 extra-time defeat. Sergio Camello of Rayo Vallecano was their unexpected late nemesis, dunking French goalkeeper Guillaume Restes with 100 minutes on the clock to startle a stunned capacity crowd. And he delivered a virtual carbon copy of that finish with the game's final kick, charging in on goal as the French flung bodies forward to slot past Restes and cruelly ...
