Quevin Castro and Real Sport Clube
Saturday

Former West Brom midfielder Quevin Castro has died aged 25 after collapsing during a friendly in Portugal. Castro went down in the first half of Real Sport Clube’s match against Estrela de Amadora at Estadio das Seixas in Lisbon.

The Lisbon Football Association confirmed Castro died during the pre-season fixture. West Brom said the club was devastated and will honour its former player with black armbands and a 25th-minute period of applause against Burnley on Sunday.

Kieran Trippier and Wolverhampton Wanderers
Thursday

Wolves have confirmed Kieran Trippier suffered a medial collateral ligament injury in his left knee during his league debut against Blackburn. The 35-year-old right-back is expected to miss a number of weeks after joining the club on a free transfer.

Trippier’s absence immediately reduces Wolves’ defensive options, while Yerson Mosquera will also miss several weeks with an ankle ligament tear from the same match. The double setback arrives at the beginning of Wolves’ new Championship campaign.

Federico Gatti and Juventus
Wednesday

Juventus defender Federico Gatti suffered an ankle injury after a supporter invaded the pitch during a friendly and accidentally slid into him. Gatti subsequently missed training and is now a major doubt for Juventus’ Serie A opener.

The unusual incident happened after the first half as Gatti greeted supporters and several fans entered the field. The injury has raised questions about how Juventus organise the traditional friendly and whether future pitch access should be tightened.

Haji Wright, Coventry City and United States
Wednesday

Coventry striker Haji Wright could miss up to 12 weeks after suffering what Frank Lampard described as a very serious quadriceps injury. The setback delays the 28-year-old’s first opportunity to play Premier League football following promotion.

Wright scored 17 Championship goals last season and can operate centrally or wide. His absence strengthens the importance of Coventry’s recent striker additions and is also likely to rule him out of several upcoming United States matches.

Yael Trepy and Cagliari
Tuesday

Cagliari forward Yael Trepy has woken from a medically induced coma and is no longer on mechanical ventilation, two days after being pulled unconscious from a swimming pool. Hospital staff said he is alert, cooperative and shows no evident neurological deficits.

Doctors gradually reduced Trepy’s sedation and ventilation before he regained consciousness, although the 20-year-old remains in intensive care under close respiratory and clinical monitoring. The update marks a major improvement from his severe condition following Sunday’s pool incident.

Christian Pulisic, AC Milan and United States
Tuesday

Christian Pulisic has returned to AC Milan training after suffering a micro-fracture and bone bruise in his right leg during the United States’ World Cup defeat to Belgium. The 27-year-old had been expected to remain sidelined for several weeks.

Pulisic attempted to play through the injury before leaving the Belgium match before the hour mark. His return to team training comes before Milan’s Serie A opener at Torino and gives new coach Ruben Amorim another senior attacking option.

Jamal Musiala and Bayern Munich
Tuesday

Jamal Musiala collapsed during a Bayern Munich friendly for the second time in four days and later revealed he has brief absence seizures caused by a neurological dysfunction. The Germany midfielder said the condition is temporary, treatable and being medically managed.

Musiala was helped from the pitch after collapsing six minutes after entering against Heidenheim. He said specialists have cleared him to continue living normally and playing football, while Bayern confirmed the club already knew about and was monitoring the condition.

Yael Trepy and Cagliari
Monday

Cagliari striker Yael Trepy is in intensive care at Santissima Annunziata Civil Hospital in Sassari after reportedly losing consciousness in a swimming pool in Sardinia. The 20-year-old was airlifted to hospital following the incident at a villa on Sunday.

Cagliari say they remain in constant contact with the hospital and Trepy’s family while closely monitoring his condition. The club requested privacy and said further information will be provided when available, with no additional medical diagnosis given in the report.

Bayern Munich and Jamal Musiala
Saturday

Bayern Munich sporting director Max Eberl says Jamal Musiala is fine after the midfielder collapsed during a friendly against RB Leipzig and required emergency medical attention. Initial examinations found no worrying signs after dizziness and circulatory problems linked to the heat.

Musiala is expected to rest for two days while Bayern continue monitoring him before deciding when he can train again. The update materially eases fears raised by the collapse, which occurred in temperatures reported around 33 degrees Celsius in Munich.

Bayern Munich, Jamal Musiala, Konrad Laimer and Kim Min-jae
Saturday

Bayern Munich suffered three injury-enforced substitutions during their friendly victory over RB Leipzig. Jamal Musiala required an emergency doctor after going down late, while Konrad Laimer left after nine minutes and Kim Min-jae later departed with thigh problems.

Musiala was eventually able to leave the pitch unaided, but Bayern have not established the severity of the three problems in the supplied report. The setbacks arrive immediately before their final friendly and the upcoming German Super Cup against Borussia Dortmund.
