The midfielder received lengthy treatment after a crunching tackle from Daniel Agger just 13 minutes in, but played almost an hour before being substituted. A statement from his club side, Arsenal, read: "Jack Wilshere has sustained a hairline fracture to the navicular bone in his left foot. Wilshere suffered the injury during England’s international match with Denmark on Wednesday night at Wembley Stadium, in which he played 59 minutes. "Following initial scans carried out by the FA on Wednesday night, further investigation by Arsenal’s medical team has discovered a crack to a small bone in Jack’s left foot — the navicular, an area of his foot which has not been previously injured....

The second half of Arsenal’s 2012-13 season was characterized by scrappy 1-0 wins. Though fans lapped these up blindly, proclaiming “1-0 to the Gunners”, and Wenger claimed his bunch of players to have “character, desire and hunger”; the plain fact of the matter was that after starting each game with high energy, Arsenal were not able to add the kill games while playing teams stationed in the lower half of the table....

Kudos to Ricciardi for doing all he could but there was no need because when a football player tackles it’s usually hard enough so the opposing player doesn’t have to flop. The last thing college football needs is to implement a new rule to stop flopping. That’s more of an NBA thing. Army went on to lose to Wake Forest 24-21.

The Rhodes reference makes sense. Dusty Rhodes feuded with The Four Horsemen, and his son in the Ric Flair role would be interesting. The Revival is very similar to Anderson and Tully Blanchard, as they are also known for their hard-hitting action inside the ring. The one name that seems out of place is Strowman. In a way, he would be the obvious muscle of the group. While surprising, it does make sense, as theoretically a heel faction would want to get the meanest and toughest guy to be in the group....

Federico Guillermo Klein, 42, became the first Trump administration official to be arrested for taking part in the insurrection, during which he allegedly assaulted an officer with a weapon. In his first appearance on Friday, Klein declined to enter a plea, but asked the U.S. Magistrate, Zia M. Faruqui, to be moved from his detention facility due to poor conditions. “I wonder if there’s a place where I can stay in detention where I don’t have cockroaches crawling over me while I attempt to sleep,” he said, according to the Washington Post....

They raced into an early lead after £72m summer signing Pepe converted from close-range, after Sead Kolasinac’s driven cross was deflected into his path. David de Gea was given no chance and was consequently wrongfooted, as the Ivorian forward recorded his third league goal of 2019-20. Just like against Chelsea on Sunday, Arsenal were comfortably the better side in the early exchanges and playing with the type of swagger and guile we have seldom seen since Arsene Wenger’s departure in May 2018....

Indeed, at times, it seemed like the two teams had swapped kits, with Stoke nearly winning the possession game (finishing at 49% but holding the ball for long stretches) while Arsenal seemed content to park the bus after going ahead early, soaking up pressure and launching the occasional counter-attack. As such, it was hardly a vintage Arsenal win, but it’s gratifying to see the lads dig in and nab three points in their third match in eight days....

#5 All about CHO Callum Hudson-Odoi has been in the news for a while now. The buzz surrounding him might just end with the player moving to Bayern Munich as latest report claim that he has submitted a transfer request to move out of the Stamford Bridge. As a result, it now seems only a matter of time before he leaves the club. According to journalist Kaveh Solekhol, Hudson-Odoi desires to go to Bayern....

LONDON (Reuters) - Arsenal denied Chelsea the double as they beat the Premier League champions 2-1 to win the FA Cup for the third time in four seasons at Wembley on Saturday. Aaron Ramsey’s 79th-minute header sealed victory for Arsenal, three minutes after Diego Costa’s equaliser had revived Chelsea’s hopes of capping a superb season in style. Alexis Sanchez’s controversial opener had given Arsenal the early initiative and Arsene Wenger’s side could have been further ahead as they dominated the first-half chances....

The Blues were huge favorites going into the game after winning each of their previous three matches. The Gunners, on the other hand, had lost each of their previous three and were low in spirits. However, once referee Jonathan Moss set the ball rolling at Stamford Bridge, only one team wanted it more and it was the visitors rather than the hosts. Mikel Arteta’s side started the game on the front foot and were rewarded for their peppiness....

ARSENAL 2 TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR 0 Nov 18 (Reuters) - Shkodran Mustafi and Alexis Sanchez earned Arsenal a convincing 2-0 Premier League win over Tottenham Hotspur in the north London derby at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday. Mustafi opened the scoring with a superb 36th-minute header and Sanchez doubled the advantage five minutes later with a close-range strike. The result lifted Arsenal to fifth place in the table on 22 points, one behind Spurs....

Emery lasted just 18 months in the job, paying the price for a winless run that spans seven games following Thursday’s 2-1 loss to Eintracht Frankfurt in front of a sparse crowd at the Emirates Stadium. Former Gunners midfielder Freddie Ljungberg has been promoted to take charge in an interim capacity, but what about the contenders to replace Emery on a permanent basis? Here we examine seven potential candidates for what remains one of the most coveted jobs in football, despite Arsenal’s recent struggles....

Arsenal seem set to lose their summer transfer target – Atletico Miniero winger Bernard – to Porto as the 20-year-old’s father told O Jogo that his son would prefer to follow in the footsteps of fellow Brazilian Hulk and join Porto. “Nothing is decided yet, but we know there is an interest from Arsenal,” he said. “There has been nothing official from them. Hulk has convinced Bernard that Porto move would be better for him at this stage of his career....

The 20-year-old broke into the Super League side’s first-team towards the end of the season before cementing his place in the starting XI this term, but has already attracted interest from Greek giants Olympiakos and the Premier League side. Speaking after Wednesday’s clash against Chelsea, however, Arsene Wenger confirmed Mavropanos was north London-bound, although fans may have to wait to see him in the first team. “Yes [the signing is complete], but he’s not ready to play,” Wenger said of Mavropanos’ impending arrival following Wednesday’s 2-2 Premier League draw with Chelsea....

The Chilean forward had been hoping to secure a move away from Emirates Stadium during the summer transfer window, but saw the deadline pass with no deal done. Arsene Wenger had maintained throughout a long-running saga that he had no intention of parting with the 28-year-old. He remains convinced that Sanchez will continue to give his all to the Arsenal cause, but has opted against naming him in his starting XI against the Cherries....

Premier League Arsenal make an enquiry for Malcom Arsenal are resigned to losing Alexis Sanchez this month and work in the background has already started to rope in an able replacement for the Chilean. Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano has reported that the Gunners have entered the race for Bordeaux winger Malcom and have contacted the French side for a move. Malcom has been a stand out player for Bordeaux this campaign and has already scored 7 league goals....

It was apparent early on that the developers were aiming to bring more than just a simple re-skinning with the bonus skins, with the Dark Knight Returns skin adding plenty of years and even more pounds to Arkham City’s Bruce Wayne. The Animated Series skin is definitely going in a different direction, but after seeing Robin’s version in action, the result is promising. But there was no mistaking the fact that one suit stood apart from the rest, and that was the Batman Beyond version....

Both teams started off on a attacking mode but it was India which made early penetration in the D – however, the goal was denied by Jayden Pearson. Soon after, India’s first runners defended strongly to deny the Tassies via penalty corner. However, in the 10th minute, Armaan gave India the breakthrough with a field goal. In the 12th minute though, the Tigers equalised through James Dick’s goal. Almost after the restart, India won a PC and this time, Varun Kumar made it count, slotting the ball home to wrest back the lead heading into the first break....

The 26-year-old surging lightweight contender recently issued a challenge to Chandler via a tweet, stating that he considered the American to have the “lowest fight IQ” in the division. However, it seems Michael Chandler is not interested in facing Arman Tsarukyan anytime soon and recently iterated his intention to focus on getting booked against Conor McGregor instead. This did not go down well with the No.8-ranked lightweight. Tsarukyan took to Twitter to make his displeasure known, and quote-tweeting a story about Chandler’s refusal to accept his call out, he wrote:...
