    Chelsea right-back Malo Gusto is exploring a Stamford Bridge exit, with his representatives holding exploratory talks with clubs including Manchester City. Chelsea have set a price above £75m for the France defender after the Palestra deal.

    Carlo Ancelotti says Neymar is fit enough to play the full 90 minutes against Scotland after missing Brazil’s first two World Cup matches. The 34-year-old has recovered from a calf problem and trained fully this week.

    Brazil may use Neymar from the bench or as a starter as they chase top spot in Group C. His return gives Ancelotti another attacking option, especially with Raphinha sidelined by injury for now too.

    Lazio Women have been ordered to compensate former midfielder Maja Gothberg after CAS found the club unlawfully ended her employment because of pregnancy. The ruling also awarded moral damages and cited disclosure of confidential pregnancy information.

    FIFPro called the case groundbreaking because it reinforces maternity protections even where contract terms were not fully formalised. Gothberg said pregnancy should never be treated as a problem or reason to deny labour opportunities in football.

    Iran have been allowed to enter the United States two days before their Seattle match against Egypt, giving them an extra day beyond earlier restrictions. They must still leave for their Tijuana base after the game.

    The change follows Iran’s complaints to FIFA over unfair travel conditions. Coach Amir Ghalenoei had argued the previous 24-hour entry window reduced preparation time and left his squad at a disadvantage.

    FIFA gave Miguel Almiron a one-match ban for covering his mouth during a confrontation and stripped Paraguayan commentator Jorge Vera of World Cup credentials after his on-air rant over the red card.

    Almiron will miss Paraguay’s decisive group game against Australia, but the ban was not extended. Vera apologised after calling FIFA and officials thieves, with his accreditation reportedly cancelled for the tournament.
