Baseball is back, as the Los Angeles Dodgers and Chicago Cubs have officially opened up the 2025 season in Japan with the Tokyo Series on Tuesday. But one notable player, Dodgers star first baseman Freddie Freeman, was absent from the lineup as the contest got underway.
Why is Freddie Freeman not playing in Tokyo Series vs. Cubs?
Freeman was scratched from the lineup due to left rib discomfort, the Dodgers announced. While it's not clear what caused the injury, Freeman was able to participate in batting practice before the game, so it's possible he tweaked something in his pregame preparations for the contest. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts is likely to provide further updates on Freeman after the game.
In 147 games in '24, Freeman posted a .282/.378/.476 slash line with 22 home runs, 89 RBI and 81 runs scored. He was named World Series MVP in the Dodgers' championship triumph over the New York Yankees.
In addition to the absence of the '24 World Series MVP, the Dodgers are also without eight-time All Star Mookie Betts, who will miss each of the two games in the Tokyo Series as he deals with an illness.

Former Bayern Munich forward Dieter Hoeness has dismissed criticism of Luis Diaz’s finishing, praising the Colombian for his “extraordinary” effort and impact since joining the German champions. Speaking ahead of Bayern’s Champions League showdown with PSG, Hoeness highlighted the winger’s work rate and influence despite claims of wastefulness in front of goal.
Hoeness defends Diaz amid criticism
German legend Hoeness has backed Bayern’s summer signing Colombian international and former Liverpool star Diaz after the winger faced criticism for missing chances in recent matches. The Colombian, who arrived from Liverpool for around €75 million (£66m/$88m) , has been a key figure under Vincent Kompany with eight goals and five assists in 15 appearances. However, some pundits have labelled him a “wasteful finisher.”
Hoeness, speaking in an interview with , dismissed the negativity, insisting Diaz’s overall contribution far outweighs the missed opportunities. “Luis Diaz is extraordinary," he said. The former striker, who spent years in Munich’s front line, believes Diaz has integrated seamlessly into Kompany’s dynamic system.

'fantastic' – Hoeness heap praises for Diaz
Hoeness was quick to downplay suggestions that Diaz has been inefficient in front of goal. "It's sensational, especially when we're talking about his work rate. The way he works defensively off the ball is fantastic," he said. "People talk about Luis Diaz being a wasteful finisher. You have to create those chances first. The number of chances he creates is fantastic. And that he slips now and then is normal," he added. The 72-year-old also highlighted how the Colombian’s work rate has earned him the respect of both teammates and supporters.
Bayern’s attacking line, led by England superstar and 'record-breaker' Harry Kane, French starlet Michael Olise, and Diaz, combine have produced 54 goals across all competitions so far this season. Hoeness believes that the winger’s movement and intensity have made him a crucial component of Kompany’s front three.
Perfect start for Kompany's Bayern
Kompany's team are enjoying a dream start to the 2025-26 season. With 15 wins from as many games, the Bavarians have been relentless under the former Manchester City captain. Bayern’s dominance has extended across both the Bundesliga and the Champions League, with the team currently sitting second in the European table, just behind Paris Saint-Germain on goal difference.
Kompany’s tactical approach has blended structure with attacking flair, allowing Diaz to flourish as a high-energy wide forward. The Colombian has been instrumental in Bayern’s pressing game, helping the team recover possession high up the pitch while contributing consistently in attack.
“Even players like Sacha Boey, who were written off, are finding form again,” Hoeness observed. “Everything seems to be clicking under Kompany, it’s a well-balanced squad.”

Champions League test against PSG on the horizon
The Bundesliga leaders now face defending European champions PSG in a blockbuster Champions League encounter at the Parc des Princes. Both sides have identical records of three wins from three matches, with PSG only ahead by a single goal in the standings. "We've earned the right to go in there full of enthusiasm. It has to be rock ‘n’ roll. They have confidence, we have confidence, it's going to be a great game," said Kompany.
The meeting in Paris rekindles a growing rivalry between the two powerhouses, who also faced off in the FIFA Club World Cup earlier this year, a match PSG won 2-0. Since that defeat, Bayern have gone unbeaten, building momentum with dominant displays in both domestic and European fixtures.
After their trip to France, Kompany’s men will return to Bundesliga action against RB Leipzig before facing Club Brugge in their next European outing, and for Diaz, the coming weeks present an opportunity to silence critics and further cement his importance within the team. With his combination of pressing, creativity, and flair, the Colombian has quickly become one of the Bundesliga’s most talked-about imports.
"Last year, Paris Saint-Germain played exceptionally well, but they almost got knocked out in the group stage. Everything is very close," Hoeness said as he talked up the German side's Champions League hopes. "Bayern can win the Champions League every year if the factors are right. We know that from the quarter-finals onwards, it depends on the form on the day and the injury situation. If your key players are injured, you usually can't win the Champions League."
Setting their sights on early 2026 reinforcements, Manchester United have now reportedly sent scouts to watch an impressive forward who’s keeping up with Kylian Mbappe this season.
What Man Utd need in January
Whilst we’re still only in October, it looks likely to be an important January transfer window for Man United. The Red Devils have started poorly once again in the Premier League – winning just twice in seven games – and further reinforcements are clearly needed.
Given that Sir Jim Ratcliffe has publicly backed Ruben Amorim, INEOS must put their money where their mouth is and back the former Sporting Club manager once again when the winter window swings open. Just who they’ll target to do exactly that is the big question.
The rumour mill has already mentioned the likes of Kenan Yildiz from Juventus and David Affengruber from Elche, but it remains to be seen whether those at Old Trafford act on their interest in 2026.
Yildiz would be a particularly impressive signing. The versatile winger has been the main man at Juventus over the last 12 months and is still just 20 years old. His arrival wouldn’t come cheap, but it is one that United should go all out to secure next year.
Affengruber, meanwhile, would be shrewd business. The central defender represents the type of underrated player that INEOS should be tracking if they want to avoid spending big whilst landing a gem.
La Liga could be where it’s at for such talent, too, with reports now suggesting that United have sent scouts to watch an impressive striker target ahead of January.
Man Utd sends scouts to watch Etta Eyong
As reported by TeamTalk, Man United scouts have now been spotted watching Karl Etta Eyong this season. The 21-year-old has enjoyed an excellent campaign so far, with Barcelona and Real Madrid also eyeing moves alongside the Red Devils.

Having just joined Levante from Villarreal, a January move seems unlikely, but that doesn’t mean he’s not one to watch for next summer. In just eight La Liga games, the forward has scored five goals and assisted another three. To put into context how impressive that is, Real Madrid’s Kylian Mbappe has managed 11 goal involvements in the same number of games.
Praised for an “amazing” season so far by scout Jacek Kulig, the future is certainly bright for Etta Eyong. Whether that future includes a move to Old Trafford is another question entirely, however.
Up against both Real Madrid and Barcelona in the race for his signature, the Red Devils will have to make their first move as soon as possible.
Jamie Carragher leapt to the defence of Newcastle United star Nick Woltemade this weekend, but also spotted an underrated role Dan Burn played as the Magpies cruised past Nottingham Forest.
Woltemade scored for the fourth time in five starts as Newcastle ground out a 2-0 Premier League victory over Forest to continue Ange Postecoglou’s nightmare start in the Midlands.
The Germany international, who had earlier hit the bar, converted an 84th-minute penalty to add to Bruno Guimaraes’ opener as Postecoglou’s seventh game at the Forest helm ended in defeat despite a battling performance on Tyneside.
Eddie Howe’s men never hit the heights they did during Wednesday night’s 4-0 Champions League win at Union St-Gilloise, but were value for the points on a day when they at times looked fatigued, yet still found a way to win.
Woltemade has now joined Les Ferdinand and Alan Shearer as the only players to score in their first three Premier League home games for the club, and Carragher was quick to chastise recent comments from Bayern board member Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, who labelled Newcastle “idiots” for paying £69m for the striker.
“I really like (Woltemade), and I actually saw that quote a few days ago and it angered me and I am not a Newcastle United supporter,” Carragher said during his new Sky Sports analysis show.
“I think it’s a joke really, coming from someone who is part of a football club, in terms of Bayern Munich, a really respected football club.

“He shouldn’t be speaking about, especially, another German player like that so disrespectfully. That would have been all over the news in Germany, and his family and friends are there.
“That’s our job, we are pundits, not somebody associated with such a fantastic club. That is really disrespectful, and when I saw that, I thought ‘Do you know what? I really hope that lad shoves those words down his mouth.’
“And at the start of his Premier League career, it looks like he is going to.”
And the towering new signing is not the only Magpies player who drew special praise from the Liverpool legend this weekend.
Carragher praises Dan Burn's role in Bruno Guimaraes screamer
Speaking during his new Sunday night show on Sky, Carragher pointed to the subtle assist from Burn, who ran forward to set up Guimaraes’ stunning strike.
“Dan Burn does great, Dan Burn gets the assist and some people laugh at assists, and say ‘a little simple pass?’ No, I’ll tell you why Dan Burn deserves an assist.
“How many times do defenders run forward and have a stupid shot over the bar? And he gets a big laugh and a cheer from the crowd – it’s almost like a joke.
“But he deserves the assist because he doesn’t do the stupid thing. He does the clever thing, and he passes the ball to the guy who knows what he’s doing.”
Lionel Scaloni has shut down speculation linking Roma forward Matias Soule with a potential switch to Italy, calling such talk “impossible”. The Argentina boss made it clear that the 21-year-old remains firmly in his plans for the Albiceleste. Scaloni hailed the youngster’s growth at Roma and described him as Argentina’s “future” ahead of their friendly against Puerto Rico.
Soule waiting for Argentina debut amid Roma heroics
The 21-year-old, who has represented Argentina at youth level, has not yet made a senior appearance for the Albiceleste, though he has been included in several provisional squads. His form at Roma since joining from Juventus in the summer of 2024 has only strengthened his case, with the forward emerging as one of Serie A’s standout performers this season.
His agent, however, recently cast doubt over his international future, hinting he could take advantage of his eligibility for Italy by declaring himself available for Gennaro Gattuso's side due to the wait for his Argentina debut. That notion has no relevance as far as Scaloni is concerned as he said the youngster will get his chance eventually.

Scaloni praises Soule’s progress and reveals close monitoring
“Soule called up to the Italy squad? I don’t think it’s possible; he’s been in our sights for some time,” Scaloni said during a press conference. “We see him as the future of the Argentine national team, and he’ll soon get his chances. He’s growing a lot and I’ve been following him for a while. If he continues like this, there won’t be any problems."
According to reports in Argentina, Scaloni even called Soule personally to reassure him that he was always part of the national team's plans.
Agent’s remarks sparked speculation
The speculation emerged after Soule’s agent publicly questioned Argentina’s selection policy, suggesting that his client could switch his allegiance to Italy.
"Argentina has never called him, yet so many young players have made their debuts in recent months. Matias deserves a chance for what he’s doing at a major club like Roma,” the agent said in an interview with . “What if the situation doesn’t resolve itself? He can legally be called up by Italy; anything is possible."
Soule had previously turned down an approach from former Italy coach Luciano Spalletti, reports say, with the attacker’s dream being to play for Argentina, and Scaloni’s latest remarks suggest it's just a matter of time before he gets his chance.

Focus turns to Argentina’s friendlies and World Cup build-up
With the speculation now settled, attention turns to Argentina’s ongoing preparations for the 2026 World Cup. The reigning champions face Puerto Rico in Miami, Florida after edging Venezuela 1-0 in Miami last week. Superstar Lionel Messi missed that game due to club commitments with Inter Miami, and it remains to be seen whether he will feature in the second friendly.
Scaloni is expected to rotate his squad, offering opportunities to younger players like Soule in the coming months. The 21-year-old could finally make his senior debut before the end of the year, potentially in the next international window. For Argentina, the goal remains clear, to build a competitive core for their World Cup title defence in North America next summer.
Fabio Capello blasted the lack of courage from both Juventus and AC Milan in a 'boring' affair, a sentiment shared by Juve fans who booed their side off the pitch after a fifth straight draw.
Did Juventus and AC Milan fail to entertain?
Capello has delivered a scathing assessment of the goalless draw between his two former clubs Juventus and AC Milan, labelling the Serie A clash as "very boring" and criticising both teams for a lack of courage. Speaking to Radio anch'io Sport via Football Italia, the legendary Italian coach did not hold back after the disappointing stalemate at the Allianz Stadium on Sunday.

What Capello said about the goalless stalemate
Capello, who enjoyed successful spells managing both clubs, was left unimpressed by the lack of attacking intent and risk-taking from either side. He felt the contest failed to live up to its billing as a heavyweight clash. "Juve-Milan was not a great show," Capello said. "A very boring first half, the two teams didn’t have the courage to take any risks. We saw a little bit more in the second half. From two teams like that, we were expecting more of a spectacle."

Missed chances and frustrated fans
The match was a cagey affair with few clear-cut opportunities, though Milan had the best chances to secure all three points. Christian Pulisic missed from the penalty spot, while Rafael Leao spurned a late opportunity to win the game. The home supporters made their feelings clear at the final whistle, booing their team off the pitch, a reaction Capello endorsed. "They were all rightly booed at the end," he added.

League implications for both clubs
The result was a damaging one for both teams' ambitions. For Juventus, it marked their fifth consecutive draw across all competitions, a concerning run of form that leaves them fifth in the Serie A table. The draw was a missed opportunity for Milan, who failed to reclaim top spot and now sit in third place, two points behind leaders Napoli and Roma, heading into the October international break.
Five goals scored, none conceded, and a 100% win record – it’s safe to say it’s been a dream start to Thomas Frank’s tenure as Tottenham Hotspur manager.
Winning against newly-promoted Burnley on home soil was to be expected, but the Lilywhites’ second showing of the new Premier League season is what has led to the growing excitement at the club.

Frank’s men secured a superb 2-0 win against Manchester City at the Etihad last weekend, limiting Pep Guardiola’s side to limited opportunities throughout.
Tottenham Hotspur managerThomasFrankcelebrates after the match
However, despite the excellent start in England’s top-flight, attention has been shifted to the transfer market, with work being done tirelessly behind the scenes to secure added reinforcements.
Numerous players remain in their sights, but it remains to be seen how many more big-money additions will be made before Monday’s transfer deadline.
The latest on Spurs' hunt for new additions this summer
In a move that has seemingly exploded into life over the last 24 hours, attacking midfield star Xavi Simons has now been confirmed as the next player through the doors at Spurs.
The Lilywhites agreed a €60m (£52m) deal with the Bundesliga outfit late last night, with a deal now completed – but he won’t be able to feature in tomorrow’s clash with Bournemouth.
However, he could be joined in North London by Savinho, as Daniel Levy continues to pursue a move for the Manchester City star, according to TEAMtalk.
Their report claims that Frank’s side remain in constant discussions with the Citizens over a possible transfer, even after previously failing to land the 21-year-old this summer.
It goes on to state that despite Guardiola’s reluctance to allow the Brazilian to depart, the player himself still wants the move – but it could be a pricey transfer, given City’s previous £70m asking price.
Why Spurs’ latest target would be a Kudus repeat
Despite the recent efforts in the market, Spurs have already completed a shrewd signing this summer – in the form of winger Mohammed Kudus from West Ham United.
The Ghanaian cost a fee in the region of £55m earlier this summer, already wasting no time in making an impact during the early weeks of his time in North London.
The 24-year-old has already registered two assists in as many league outings – one of which was for Richarlison’s goal of the season contender on the opening weekend.
However, he has plenty of time to build on his impressive start to life under Frank’s guidance, something which could be aided by Savinho’s potential arrival.
Similarities are evident between Kudus and the City star, with both talents being able to operate in wide or central areas when called upon by their respective managers.
The duo are both left-footed, often liking to cut inside onto their favoured foot when operating off the right-hand side – something which the former West Ham star has done in both his league outings with the Lilywhites.
Despite the big money forked out for Kudus this window, a deal for Savinho would offer added quality in the attacking areas – especially if he replicates his form from the Etihad in 2024/25.
The Brazilian, who’s been labelled “incredible” by current boss Guardiola, ranked in the 96th percentile for progressive carries per 90 (7.1) – highlighting the threat he carries with the ball at his feet.
Such tallies have allowed him to torment countless backlines in the Premier League, also helping him to rank in the 94th percentile for shot-creating actions (5.7) – showcasing the similar threat he poses, like Kudus has demonstrated in North London.

Savinho has also ranked in the 95th percentile for successful take-ons per 90 (2.7), able to glide past the opposition before either getting a shot off or teeing up a teammate.
Whilst Kudus has already showcased he’s been an excellent addition so far this season, a move for Savinho could see him have a partner in crime within the final third.
The prospect of the duo linking up under Frank is certainly one to be excited about – but first the hierarchy need to negotiate a move with City – something which could prove difficult given their reluctance to sell the forward.

Ben Curran scored a quick half-century on Test debut, and set the tone for Zimbabwe’s total of 363 on day one
ESPNcricinfo staff26-Dec-2024Zimbabwe had as many as three debutants in the Boxing Day Test against Afghanistan in Bulawayo. One of them, opening batter Ben Curran, went on to score 68 on day one, while the other two debutants were pace bowlers Trevor Gwandu and Newman Nyamhuri.Curran reached his half-century off just 54 balls, and hit 11 boundaries during his stay of 74 deliveries. After the day’s play, Sean Williams, who ended unbeaten on 145, felt Curran’s approach helped set the tone for Zimbabwe, who ended up scoring 363 at 4.27 runs an over.”I think it’s huge. That intent and those partnerships going forward, it’s amazing,” Williams said. “The intent one batsman shows, allows the other batsman to score. It’s like, he ends up benefiting from your intent. And that’s what we want in the team.”Related

Williams' 145* leads Zimbabwe's domination against Afghanistan
Williams said players like him, Craig Ervine and Sikandar Raza have been “around for a long time”, and that Zimbabwe wanted the incoming debutants to just have “clear minds”.”It’s kind of like going back to grade one again, and it’s actually really refreshing as a senior to go back and review all of those things that you used to do in a team meeting – taking notes, doing this thing, analysing, [and] checking your videos,” he said. “Things like that, these younger guys, we’re encouraging them to do.”Zimbabwe entered the Test series on the back of defeats to Afghanistan in both the T20I and the ODI series with their batting coming under criticism. But Williams, and half-centurions Curran and Ervine, helped Zimbabwe dominate the opening day of the first Test in what was a turnaround of fortunes for the hosts. Williams put that down to having “clear plans”.”Going into training, coming to a meeting, and being absolutely clear on what you need to do,” he said. “Keeping that good ball out, but scoring off the bad ball. And that’s the intent that we’re after from all of us… Every bowler bowls bad balls. But you have to put them away and you have to be brave enough to be able to try to put them away.”
Rayan Cherki has been tipped to be as successful at Manchester City as Kevin De Bruyne by Gael Clichy. The former City left-back used to coach the maverick attacking midfielder when he played for France's under-21 side and gave special insight into what he can offer Pep Guardiola's side. And he outlined the one aspect of his game that he needs to improve upon in order to truly shine at the Etihad Stadium.
Clichy hails Cherki's potential under Guardiola
Cherki scored on his debut for City against Wolves following his £30m ($40m) move from Lyon in the summer although he picked up an injury in his second game against Tottenham, knocking him out of action for two months. And Clichy, who played for City between 2011 and 2017, believes the midfielder can be a massive success for Guardiola's side.
AdvertisementClichy: Cherki can reach KDB levels
Clichy told GOAL, via : "If we talk about the quality of the player, I haven't seen anyone that good. That's a big quote, but I do feel that if he can bring his off-the-ball game to a certain level, I think we could be talking about a player that can can reach Kevin De Bruyne’s numbers, because in tight spaces, in key areas of the pitch, he can create danger. And this is what you want at City. When you play against a low block team with a defence of five, there's not much space. So you need to have the quality on the on the wing, which I think City are lacking a little bit. You know, you go from Raheem Sterling, Riyad Mahrez and Leroy Sane which for me, as a full back, were a nightmare to play against. I think they lost that."
Getty ImagesMan City star still has room for improvement
As well as lavishing praise on Cherki, Clichy pointed to one aspect of his game which needs work. He explained: "He will need to be able to show that off ball, out of possession, he can perform. Because we know this is his problem. This is his weakness. It was his weakness when he was with us in France. So far, what I've seen in England, this is what people are thinking about him. So if Pep manages to take him to a different level out of possession, I think he will be a tremendous player for City. And I think this is the kind of player that Pep wants. Now in the Premier League it's not just about having the ball, it's also how you deal with transitions. And there is the big job for for Pep."

Cherki can thrive under 'brilliant signing' Donnarumma
Clichy was also excited to see how City's new signing Gianluigi Donnarumma can improve the team, even though he is a different profile of goalkeeper to Ederson and unlike the type of shot-stoppers Guardiola has previously favoured such as the Manuel Neuer and Victor Valdes. He said: "I think it's an amazing signing. A goalkeeper first of all is there to make saves, and he's the kind of guy that will make big saves in big games. So I can see why people are saying that Pep is going against his own philosophy, but he's a goalkeeper who just achieved a treble in a season that we've never seen in France, with a coach that is from Spain who has the same philosophy as Pep. And surely, if Luis Enrique has done it with Donnarumma, I'm pretty sure Pep will find a way to work with him."
