    December 2025

    Arsenal have confirmed centre back Mosquera will miss several weeks after landing awkwardly during the win over Brentford. The summer signing now joins fellow defenders William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes on the sidelines, stripping depth from an already stretched back line. Arteta admitted scans showed a worse problem than first expected and ruled the defender out for “weeks”. He has responded by shifting Jurrien Timber and Piero Hincapie into central roles and even using Christian Norgaard at centre back as Arsenal try to cope while protecting a narrow lead in the title race.

    Chelsea handed major Delap lift with quicker-than-feared shoulder recovery

    Liam Delap
    December 2025

    Chelsea expect Liam Delap to return in three to four weeks after scans confirmed no fracture in the shoulder he damaged against Bournemouth, limiting his latest setback after a two month hamstring layoff and offering hope he can rejoin the attack early in the New Year. Delap had impressed with his physical presence before landing heavily and going off inside half an hour, prompting fears of a long absence, but Maresca now plans to cover upcoming games with Joao Pedro, Pedro Neto and Tyrique George up front while Delap rebuilds fitness once cleared.

    December 2025

    Benjamin Sesko’s agent says the Manchester United striker feels very good and is impatient to return after a thigh injury that has sidelined him since November’s 2-2 draw with Tottenham, having scored twice in 12 games following his £74 million move from RB Leipzig. Representative Elvis Basanovic praised coach Ruben Amorim’s charisma and long term project, stressing that Sesko needs time on the pitch with Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo to build attacking automatisms and believes patience will turn United into genuine Premier League title contenders.

    Jessica Naz
    December 2025

    Jessica Naz will miss the rest of Tottenham’s season after scans confirmed a ruptured ACL in her right knee, cutting short an outstanding campaign for club and country and dealing a major blow to Spurs’ push near the top of the WSL. Naz, who previously spent about 18 months out with an ACL tear in her left knee, had started all 10 league games this term and now joins a growing list of WSL ACL casualties, including Michelle Agyemang, Marie Hobinger, Sophie Roman Haug and others.

    Liverpool lose Gakpo for weeks as Chiesa illness deepens Inter selection headache

    Cody Gakpo
    December 2025

    Arne Slot has confirmed that Cody Gakpo will miss several weeks and Federico Chiesa will sit out Liverpool’s Champions League trip to Inter Milan through illness, compounding the decision to leave Mohamed Salah at home amid escalating tension around the forward’s future. Slot said Gakpo’s problem was sustained against Leeds and rules out one of his productive league attackers, while Chiesa’s poorly timed sickness further reduces width as Liverpool travel without Salah, whose public criticism of the club has overshadowed Alisson’s focus on Inter’s impressive form.

    Cole Palmer
    December 2025

    Enzo Maresca has confirmed that Cole Palmer will miss Chelsea’s Champions League trip to Atalanta after the playmaker sat out training, with the club choosing to manage his fitness carefully following an injury hit campaign that has already restricted him to six appearances. Palmer only recently returned, playing half an hour before Bournemouth and around an hour in the goalless draw, and Maresca says the medical staff have planned to rest him between tightly scheduled fixtures to avoid flare ups while Liam Delap recovers from a shoulder problem.

    Inter rocked by Akanji scare before Champions League clash with Liverpool

    Manuel Akanji
    December 2025

    Inter head coach Cristian Chivu is facing a defensive headache before a crucial Champions League tie against Liverpool after key centre back Manuel Akanji missed the final training session with flu like symptoms, putting his availability in serious doubt and exposing a thin back line. With Benjamin Pavard loaned to Marseille and the squad already reshaped in the summer, Chivu may have to turn to veteran Stefan de Vrij or inexperienced Yann Aurel Bisseck, sacrificing recovery pace and cohesion in a back three that relies on chemistry against elite attacks.

    Bradley suspension piles more pressure on Slot after 3-3 Leeds collapse

    Conor Bradley
    December 2025

    Liverpool suffered another setback from their chaotic 3-3 draw at Leeds as right-back Conor Bradley collected his fifth yellow card of the season, triggering a one-match ban that rules him out of next weekend’s Premier League trip to Brighton and deepens Arne Slot’s defensive problems. Already missing Jeremie Frimpong and Giovanni Leoni, Liverpool must now reshuffle again, with Joe Gomez, Curtis Jones or Dominik Szoboszlai possible cover at right-back, as Slot fumed about conceding yet another late set-piece goal and warned such errors explain their lowly league position.

    Injury-hit Delap suffers fresh shoulder blow in Chelsea stalemate

    Liam Delap
    December 2025

    Chelsea striker Liam Delap faces another spell out after suffering a shoulder injury and being forced off after 32 minutes in a goalless draw against Bournemouth, compounding a stop-start beginning to life at Stamford Bridge following a previous two-month hamstring layoff. Bundled over by Marcos Senesi, Delap left the pitch in visible pain as Chelsea’s attack again misfired. Enzo Maresca said it “looks quite bad” and admitted both player and club have been unlucky, stressing Chelsea “need that kind of No.9” while scans in the coming days determine damage.

    Guardiola admits Rodri is “suffering” as hamstring setback delays full Man City return

    Rodri
    December 2025

    Pep Guardiola says Rodri is “suffering” as a troublesome hamstring injury hampers his comeback following a nine-month layoff with an ACL problem. The 2024 Ballon d’Or winner has managed just one late substitute appearance since sustaining the latest issue in early October. Guardiola stressed he will resist the temptation to rush Rodri back, citing the risk of another long absence if they push too hard. He highlighted how much City miss their treble-winning midfield anchor, but insisted the club must protect him until his body fully adapts post-ACL.
