Rodrygo returns to Brazil squad after difficult Real Madrid spell

Rodrygo (Real Madrid)
October 2025

After missing two international windows, Rodrygo has been recalled by Carlo Ancelotti for Brazil’s friendlies against South Korea and Japan. The 24-year-old admitted it was “difficult” being sidelined as he works to regain Xabi Alonso’s trust at Madrid.
Losing his place in Madrid’s lineup affected his international prospects, but Rodrygo sees this return as a fresh start. He praised Ancelotti’s leadership and hopes strong performances with Brazil will earn him more minutes in Madrid’s attack.

Liverpool are carefully managing Isak’s integration following his drawn-out transfer from Newcastle, which disrupted his pre-season. The Swedish striker remains weeks from peak fitness, but early flashes — including a goal and assist — show his potential under manager Arne Slot.
The two-month transfer saga kept Isak sidelined as Newcastle stalled negotiations. Now adjusting to Liverpool’s rhythm, he’s rebuilding fitness while balancing minutes. With crucial fixtures ahead, fans are hopeful he hits top form within the next month.

Huijsen has withdrawn from Spain’s World Cup qualifiers after sustaining a left leg muscle injury. The centre-back, a summer arrival from Bournemouth, has been key under Xabi Alonso and played the full match in Madrid’s 3-1 win over Villarreal.
Tests confirmed a soleus strain, ruling Huijsen out of Spain’s clashes with Georgia and Bulgaria. His absence compounds Madrid’s defensive issues, with Carvajal and Alexander-Arnold already injured, as Alonso hopes for a swift recovery before facing Getafe.

United co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe says Amorim will be given time to prove himself despite pressure after a slow start. Comparing the situation to Mikel Arteta’s early Arsenal years, Ratcliffe emphasised long-term stability over reactionary decisions.
Amorim’s win rate stands at 40% — the lowest since the 1970s — but Saturday’s 2-0 win over Sunderland offered relief. Ratcliffe insisted the club won’t “flick a switch” for instant results, showing intent to stick with Amorim until 2027.

Jordan Henderson (Brentford)
October 2025

Ajax players are reportedly unhappy with sporting director Alex Kroes over Henderson’s free transfer exit, which they viewed as a cost-cutting move that weakened leadership. Henderson has since revived his career at Brentford, where his composure and experience have been crucial in midfield.
Henderson himself suggested he was pushed out at Ajax. His quick adaptation in England has silenced critics, while Ajax’s dressing room harmony has suffered. What looked like simple wage trimming now appears to have cost the Dutch club both stability and authority.

October 2025

James trolled fans by teasing retirement before announcing a business deal with Hennessey, but uncertainty remains over his future. With his contract ending after this season, retirement, free agency, or even a mid-season trade remain possibilities.
Dallas has emerged as a potential landing spot, with the Mavericks able to package contracts while keeping Anthony Davis, Kyrie Irving, and rookie Cooper Flagg. A reunion with Irving and Davis could entice James, especially if the Lakers struggle early.
