What's going on with Raphinha?, fire in the Premier and today's 5⃣ stories
Today international football gives us a breather, but the news cycle never stops and the spotlight is on England. The extremely harsh punishment looming over Manchester City for breaking every financial rule in the book is dominating the headlines.
These are the five stories that could shape the football conversation this Wednesday.
🤔 Tebas calls for toughness against City… what about Barça?
The LALIGA president is calling for the toughest possible punishment for City: “Hopefully this will be a before-and-after moment”
Most LALIGA fans are wondering why he does not speak with the same toughness about Barcelona, a club that paid the vice-president of the referees for decades.
💰 The players City signed by cheating
The Telegraph has compiled all of Manchester City’s signings that are under suspicion due to the club’s irregular financial management, and the list is staggering and very revealing of the scale of the case the Premier League has on its hands.
🤕 Raphinha returns to Barcelona carrying a knock
The Brazil and Barça star again felt discomfort in his right thigh, an area where he suffered four injuries last season and which kept him out of the World Cup. He will return to Barcelona for treatment and will not take the risk of travelling and playing in his national team’s next friendly in India.
Raphinha has not been diagnosed with an injury, only some swelling, but caution has been chosen. We will see how he progresses.
