United States men’s national team fans drew a sigh of relief on Friday as Bournemouth announced that the Tyler Adams injury will see the defensive midfielder sidelined for two or three months.

The 26-year-old American picked up a knee injury early in Bournemouth’s game against Manchester United on Monday and was forced off the field. USMNT fans feared the worst, as an ACL injury would likely mean Adams would be out for this summer’s home World Cup.

While Adams being injured isn’t good news, the severity of the injury is a small consolation.

Marcus Rashford’s renaissance performance for Barcelona vs. Newcastle on Thursday stunned fans and has continued to raise eyebrows due to the statistics that followed.

Rashford bagged a beautiful brace for Barcelona with a precise header and then a GOLAZO from distance.

LIVERPOOL, England, Aug 24 (Reuters) - Everton kicked off a new era at gleaming Hill Dickinson Stadium with fireworks and towering blue plumes of smoke on Sunday, 133 years to the day since Goodison Park had opened.

Although the fans had bid an emotional farewell to the ground affectionately known as "The Grand Old Lady" at the end of last season, the mood ahead of their Premier League game against Brighton & Hove Albion at the new 52,888-seat stadium was buoyant.

Aug. 18 (Reuters) - Joy turned to pain in an instant for Nottingham Forest goalkeeping coach Rui Barbosa, whose celebration of Chris Wood's opener against Brentford ended with six stitches and a dizzy spell for him in their first Premier League game of the new season.

Wood's fifth-minute goal, poked home following a corner, sparked jubilant scenes in the Forest dugout at the City Ground. However, Barbosa's enthusiasm turned painful when he smacked his head on the dugout during the celebrations.

Bournemouth forward Antoine Semenyo thanked his teammates, Liverpool, match officials and the "entire football family" for their support after the Ghana international reported racist abuse during Friday's Premier League season opener at Anfield.

Semenyo was targeted by a man in the crowd during the first half, with referee Anthony Taylor stopping play to address the incident. Taylor spoke to both managers and captains before play resumed.

Liverpool talisman Mo Salah and fellow forward Federico Chiesa struck late goals as the Premier League champions began the defense of their title by beating Bournemouth 4-2 in a thriller on the opening night of the season at Anfield on Friday.
