Odilon Kossounou and Nordi Mukiele have medical appointments booked.

According to Florian Plettenberg, Odilon Kossounou and Nordi Mukiele will have their medicals later today.

According to recent reports, Bayer Leverkusen is aiming to unload Kossounou before the transfer season closes.

However, while it appeared like the centre-back might be destined for a Premier League club, Atalanta soon arranged a deal with Die Werkself to secure his signing.

This has left Xabi Alonso's team in need of a replacement for the outgoing 23-year-old.

Nonetheless, the German champions had already picked Mukiele, a Paris Saint-Germain defender, as the best successor to Kossounou.

According to the source, all parties have agreed on loan moves for the respective players, and deals for Kossounou and Mukiele should be completed soon.

Kossounou is scheduled to have his physical with Atalanta later today before completing his move to the Serie A club, while Mukiele will also have his medical with Werkself, as the 26-year-old is ready to return to the Bundesliga.

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 ...

On Monday night, France hosted two Olympic semi-finals. This is what occurred. France advances to the final following a fierce clash with Egypt. In a tense contest, France rallied from a 1-0 deficit to defeat Egypt 2-1 in extra time.

After absorbing all of France's pressure, Egypt proceeded to the other end, where Mahmoud Saber smashed a powerful attempt into the roof of the net. The goal ignited the game, and Hamza Alaa made a wonderful save on a Jean-Philippe Mateta header. France then hit the post twice in quick succession, with Lacazette's shot and Badé's follow-up hitting the woodwork. Les Bleus equalised thanks to a brilliantly weighted ball from Michael Olise, which Mateta converted decisively. France requested for ...
