Chelsea
March 2026
Chelsea progressed 4-2 after extra time in a major scare, with Wrexham twice leading. Wrexham scored through Smith, then an Arthur Okonkwo own goal levelled it. Callum Doyle put Wrexham back ahead before George Dobson’s red card changed the tie. Chelsea forced extra time via Josh Acheampong, then Joao Pedro and Garnacho decided it. A late Wrexham equaliser attempt was ruled offside.
Jamal Murray
March 2026
Murray left just before halftime with a left ankle sprain and did not return. He landed on Nikola Jokic’s foot after contact on a drive. Adelman said they will assess it, unsure if the absence is days or weeks.
Nikola Vučević
March 2026
Vučević left after 2 minutes and was ruled out with a right ring finger fracture, reportedly needing a procedure and about four weeks out. Boston issued an in-game “OUT” update; the report says surgery/procedure will sideline him roughly a month.
Mason Mount
March 2026
Mount is reportedly not pushing for an exit and wants to rebuild his United career after injury disruption. Despite interest from Villa and Fulham, he is focusing on fitness and availability to prove value and earn a regular role.
Edu Gaspar
March 2026
Forest reportedly dismissed Edu as global director of football and told him to stay away from club sites. Reports cite instability, heavy turnover, and results not matching investment, culminating in a breakdown with the hierarchy.
Arsenal
March 2026
Arsenal won 2-1 away after being pegged back in the second half. Arteta rotated heavily and used a 3-5-2 shape. Madueke scored with a curling effort before half-time for Arsenal’s 100th goal of the season. Mansfield equalised after a sloppy back pass was intercepted and finished by Evans.
Andre Onana
March 2026
Trabzonspor say they will not buy Onana at United’s reported €45m–€50m asking price, leaving his future unclear. United replaced Onana with Senne Lammens after errors, then loaned Onana out. Trabzonspor acknowledge his contributions but state the fee is beyond their budget, while noting Onana prefers to stay in Europe if he does not return to England.
Yanic Konan Niederhäuser
March 2026
He tore midfoot ligaments (Lisfranc injury) and will need surgery, ending his rookie season. The injury happened during a win over Indiana. He had recently been playing more minutes and trending upward statistically before the setback.
Caleb Wilson
March 2026
The freshman star will miss the rest of the season after breaking his right thumb in a non-contact drill, requiring surgery, after recently returning from a left-hand fracture. He was ramping up activity after the earlier injury but got hurt while dunking in practice. UNC had gone 5-1 without him and were nearing March’s key stretch, including a rematch with Duke and the ACC Tournament.
