Celtics’ All-Star Jayson Tatum reportedly quarantining due to Covid-19 protocols

0

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum is the latest player in the franchise who will be required to enter quarantine, which will have him off the court for 10 to 14 days, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic. That makes the total number of Celtics players in quarantine up to four, since the team announced on Friday that Robert Williams, Tristan Thompson and Grant Williams will be all be required to self-isolate for at least seven days because of the league’s Covid-19 health and safety guidelines.

Robert Williams has reportedly test positive for coronavirus and remains asymptomatic, while Tristan Thompson and Grant Williams are being asked to quarantine for contract tracing, according to Adam Himmelsbach of The Boston Globe.

Before having to quarantine, Jayson Tatum was on a tear. The star was averaging an impressive 26.9 points, 7.1 rebounds, and 3.8 assists while shooting 47.4 percent from the field and 43.8 percent from beyond the three-pointer arc.

In the coming two weeks, Boston is expected to play Miami, Chicago, Orlando twice, New York, and Philadelphia twice in the absence of their leading scorer in Tatum, and three of their bigs in tow. In the immediate future, the Celtics will definitely be short-handed.

To make things worse for the Celtics, Kemba has not made his season debut yet because of a knee injury, Jeff Teague has been dealing with an ankle injury and Romeo Langford has been away with a wrist injury.

Despite the highs and lows of the roster, Boston has somehow managed to pull out wins as they have gotten out to a strong 7-3 start to the season. Jaylen Brown has taken a huge leap this season, averaging 26 points on 41.2% shooting from the arc per game.

Lionel Messi becomes the first player to score 10+ goals for 15 consecutive seasons in La Liga history

0

Lionel Messi and records have become two of the most inseparable things in recent times. Whenever he steps onto the pitch, the record keepers have a tough time to keep up with him.

Barcelona faced Granada last night and once again Messi was magnificent. He scored two goals including a stunning freekick. This took his goal tally to 11 goals for this 2020-21 La Liga season.

Lionel Messi has now become the first player to score 10+ goals in 15 consecutive seasons in La Liga history.

The Argentine got off to a slow start in this season but as the season progresses he is picking up the pace and is now the highest scorer in La Liga this season with 11 goals to his name. He is just phenomenal!

When Messi scored that freekick against Granada, his son Mateo Messi was overjoyed by seeing his dad’s freekick and celebrated the goal. The whole internet was breaking down after seeing Messi’s sublime freekick.

One thing is clear now that the Barcelona captain is not from this planet. He is extraterrestrial. If Messi keeps going like this, Barcelona can finally hope to win a silverware at the end of this season.

Santos FC can be suspended from Copa Libertadores

1

Brazilian club Santos FC can be suspended from Copa Libertadores after Santos has played their Copa Libertadores tie against Boca Juniors with their goalkeeper, who was tested COVID positive. This is an unbelievable stand from a legendary club like Santos.

A report by MARCA suggests Santos goalkeeper John is well aware of the fact that he was infected. Though the goalkeeper did not have any symptoms. In the half time of the match against Boca Juniors, Santos refused to go to the dressing room in the half time. It is suspected that the positive COVID case of John is the reason for the refusal.

However, it was also reported that Santos had a second player that had tested positive for coronavirus. It was Wagner Leonardo who stayed on the bench.

Boca Juniors have already lodged a complaint against the Brazilian club for breaching the rules. The Argentine club believed that Santos was well aware of the infected players but they had hidden the fact and had played John.

This is a very irresponsible behaviour from the Brazilian side. The governing body of CONMEBOL should take a tough decision against Santos if it is proved to be true. The club can be suspended from Copa Libertadores as well.

IPL 2021: CSK to release some big names before the auction?

The IPL GC has announced its deadline for the franchises to submit their list for the retained players for the upcoming IPL 2021, which is 21st January, and if one of the IPL franchise needs to rebuild them strongly then that’s CSK as they had a horrible and disappointing season in the IPL 2020.

Thus, CSK is on its way to release some of their capped players on the basis of their performance last season and build a new, strong, and energetic team this year in the 14th edition of the IPL as it is their golden opportunity to build one.

Amid all these preparations for the 14th edition of IPL, it is highly expected that the three-time IPL winner, Chennai Super Kings might release some of their big names including Piyush Chawla and Kedar Jadhav on the basis of IPL 2020’s poor performance.

(PC- DNA india)

Interestingly, according to the rumours, the IPL giant Chennai Super Kings are going to release Kedar Jadhav and Piyush Chawla, who is being paid a huge amount but failed to deliver good performance this season. Unfortunately, both the players had a horrendous season in the 13th edition of the IPL. Especially Jadhav’s performance was below par which was not expected from him, who overall scored only 62 runs in eight games at a horrifying strike rate of 93.93, also he didn’t hit a single six in the tournament. Both of them had a disappointing season for CSK in the IPL 2020. It is also heard that their release process is in action too.

“Jadhav was not in best of form in IPL 2020. He was also struggling with his fitness. CSK will move on from Jadhav in IPL 2021, everyone in the team management feels that it will be prudent to take this hard call and invest in the future’, said the close source to the CSK management.

It is also likely that CSK might release Harbhajan Singh as he missed out on IPL 2020 due to some personal reasons and even he is not playing domestic cricket nor he is active with the Indian Team. Thus, he is left with no stage to show his skills, he is also paid a whopping amount of INR 2 Crore by the franchise. But on the other hand, Suresh Raina who also missed the IPL 2020 due to personal problems is staying at CSK and the franchise has cleared all the rumours about it as well.

Another good news is that even in the IPL 2021, M.S Dhoni is going to lead the team as he announced it himself during the toss while their last game at the IPL 2020 against Kings XI Punjab. Also, the franchise has cleared that Dhoni will be staying with them and leading the team.

Another problem which is seen by CSK ahead of the mini-auction is that they are left with an amount of only INR 15 lakhs in the purse and a lot is depending on it and the release of the players.

All the eyes are now on the franchises ahead of the jam-packed but mini-auction for the IPL 14, which players are retained by their team and which players are going to get released.

Concussion substitution to be trialled in FIFA Club World Cup next month

0

Last month football’s lawmaking body IFAB announced one of the revolutionary ideas to protect the players. IFAB announced that the concussion substitutions are to be trialled from January.

However, it seems that it will finally be trialled in February. FIFA is considering starting the trial in FIFA Club World Cup in Qatar next month which will be played from February 1-11. Though Premier League is also considering introducing this later this month. FIFA is also considering to trial this in this year’s Olympics game.

The head injury concerns have increased after there were multiple issues that happened in the last few weeks in Europe’s Elite leagues. Recently in the Premier League, Arsenal defender David Luiz continued to play with a fractured skull until half-time after a clash of heads with Wolverhampton Wanderers striker Jose Maria Gimenez.

arsenal david luiz wolves raul jimenez gettyimages 1288467587 Concussion substitution to be trialled in FIFA Club World Cup next month

This rule will protect the players more. A team can substitute a player regardless of the number of substitutions a team has already made.

FIFA said, “Teams participating in the Club World Cup are also permitted to make up to five substitutions per game rather than three.”

However, the teams will only have 3 opportunities to make the substitution and in the half time.

European champions Bayern Munich and Qatari side Al-Duhail are the two qualified teams in the FIFA World Cup. FC Bayern Munich has qualified as the European champions and Al-Duhail has qualified as the host. All the other side is yet to be decided.
