Alessia Russo will miss England's Nations League away game against Belgium.

Alessia Russo has been ruled out of England's Nations League match against Belgium in Leuven on Tuesday due to injury. Russo played 73 minutes in Friday night's 5-0 victory over the same opponents at Ashton Gate before being replaced due to a knock. The Football Association confirmed that Russo had returned to Arsenal for further evaluation. The 26-year-old attacker failed to score against Belgium, hitting the post twice. Michelle Agyemang, an England U19s standout who is presently on loan at Brighton from Arsenal, has been called up as a replacement in her professional debut. England has seven points from a possible nine in Nations League Group A3 ahead of their return match against Belgium on Tuesday.

Mikel Arteta tries to diffuse tensions with the Man City boss—I adore Pep.

Declaring his love, respect, and admiration for Pep Guardiola, Mikel Arteta makes a transparent attempt to alleviate growing tensions with his former coach.

Amidst the fallout from the intense tie with Manchester City the previous weekend, Guardiola ordered Arteta's Arsenal to get ready for battle. The Gunners reacted by defeating Leicester 4-2 at the Emirates in the last seconds.

Speaking before of the match on Saturday, Guardiola also asked his old teammate to clarify his assertion that, after his four-year tenure at City, he had "all the information" about the champions.

Arteta responded to Guardiola's comments by saying, "I can repeat it, very clear." I adore Pep. I think highly of him. And ever since I was ten years old, I have admired him.

"I know how hard he works, which is why I say, 'I know him.'" I have never seen a person work as hard as Pep, the coaches, and the entire football team does to routinely win. And this is what I've discovered—the reason they remain is because they sustain that hunger.

"I am unable to clarify myself further than that. I can repeat it if you would like. That being said, I have no control over someone who wishes to harm our relationship. Both him and the employees are aware of the depth of the feeling.

"I know how hard he works, which is why I say, 'I know him.'" I have never seen a person work as hard as Pep, the coaches, and the entire football team does to routinely win. And this is what I've discovered—the reason they remain is because they sustain that hunger.

"I am unable to clarify myself further than that. I can repeat it if you would like. That being said, I have no control over someone who wishes to harm our relationship. Both him and the employees are aware of the depth of the feeling.

But after six games, Arsenal and City were tied at 14 points after Trossard's strike from a corner in the fourth minute of additional time deflected off Wilfred Ndidi. Five minutes later, Kai Havertz added a fourth goal.

Arteta continued, "It was very emotional and more emotional than we wanted, but I am really pleased with how we played and dominated the game," after what might have been a crucial game in Arsenal's pursuit of a title.

"I was happy with how we handled that, but after 2-0, the result should have been bigger, but this is the Premier League, the caliber of the opponent, and they scored two goals." We had complete emotional control. We deserved to win the game hands down.

With 20 minutes remaining, referee Samuel Barrott should have given Riccardo Calafiori a second yellow card, according to manager Steve Cooper, who was booked for protesting what he believed to be a foul on Jamie Vardy in the build-up to Arsenal's first goal. Arsenal's thrilling late win leaves Leicester with just three points from 18 games.

Cooper stated, "We were disappointed that Vardy didn't receive a foul call and find it unbelievable that the Arsenal left-back wasn't sent off."

"We felt that both of the referee's poor decisions were made, so we're trying not to let that become the headline because I want to accept responsibility."

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 ...
