Football: Porto keeper Casillas says he is 'feeling strong' after heart attack

Football: Porto keeper Casillas says he is 'feeling strong' after heart attack

MADRID (REUTERS) - Spain's World Cup winning captain Iker Casillas, 37, suffered a heart attack while training with his Portuguese club Porto on Wednesday (May 1), but later tweeted from hospital to say he was "feeling strong".
Casillas played 167 times for Spain and famously captained them to their first ever World Cup win in 2010.
He also won the 2008 and 2012 European Championships with the national side and his exploits earned him the nickname 'Saint Iker' as well as making him one of Spain's best known personalities.
Porto said Casillas had suffered an "acute" heart attack during training, but that he was stable in hospital and "the heart problem has been resolved".
Casillas later tweeted: "Everything under control here, it was a big scare but I'm feeling strong. Thanks a lot for all your messages and your support."
Born in Mostoles, Madrid, Casillas came through Real Madrid's academy and spent the bulk of his career there before joining Porto in July 2015.
His 725 matches between 1999 and 2015 but him behind only his former team mate Raul, with 741, on Real's all-time list. During that time he won five La Liga titles and three Champions League crowns.


He goalkeeper is married to the Spanish television journalist Sara Carbonero, with whom he has two children.
Madrid wished their former captain a full recovery, saying: "Real Madrid would like to offer all our support to our beloved captain Iker Casillas. Throughout his professional career, he always overcame the hardest challenges in order to bring glory to our club ...
"He has taught us to never give up and has shown us numerous times that the best way to win is to remain as strong as possible when times are tough."
A tweet on the Spain team's official account said: "All the family at the national team and the Spanish football federation are with you Iker Casillas. Get well soon."

Football: Newport 'keeper Joe Day skips FA Cup celebrations after stunning Boro as wife goes into labour

(REUTERS) - As tiny Welsh side Newport County celebrated a remarkable FA Cup triumph over Middlesbrough at Rodney Parade on Tuesday (Feb 5), goalkeeper Joe Day sprinted down the tunnel to be with his wife who had gone into labour during the match.
Day, who had turned his phone off during the shock 2-0 fourth-round victory, asked manager Michael Flynn's permission to leave on learning the news and rushed to the hospital to welcome his twin girls into the world.
"'Please can I leave gaffer?' He asked me that straight after the game finished," Flynn said. "I said: 'Of course you can, do you need a lift?'
"As soon as the whistle went, he sprinted off. If they come tonight, what a special birthday they will have."
Fourth-tier Newport's win over the Championship high-fliers set up a cracking fifth-round home clash with Premier League champions Manchester City on Feb 16.
Padraig Amond, scorer of Newport's second goal, told BBC Radio Wales that everything had gone smoothly.
"They've had two healthy baby girls so congratulations to Joe and his partner Lizzie and the two little girls as well," he said. "It's brilliant."


Day had returned after missing the first game, a 1-1 draw at the Riverside, with his wife expecting twins.

Sarri may turn to psychologist to fix Blues' woes

Sarri may turn to psychologist to fix Blues' woes

LONDON • Maurizio Sarri will consider drafting a psychologist onto his coaching staff after suggesting that his Chelsea players are suffering from a mental block during matches.
The Blues coach had seen his team take the foot off the gas late in the recent win at Brighton and succumb to Wolves in similar circumstances, and last Saturday's 1-0 Premier League home loss to Leicester was more of the same.
Defender Antonio Rudiger branded his team's third defeat in six league games "a disaster" and down to "a lack of mentality".
Urging his teammates to make amends ahead of their league trip to Watford tomorrow, he said: "We don't talk about the title any more. If we can't win these games, we can't compete. We only talk now about top four. Stupid."
Sarri also felt Chelsea's underlying problems could not be pinned on fitness issues, saying: "There is another reason - not the players' physical condition.
"I had a sports psychologist 15 years ago in Italy, but it was really very difficult because the clubs were not ready then. But we can talk about it, why not?
The Italian is expected to shuffle the pack - striker Alvaro Morata remains an injury doubt - at Vicarage Road and he confirmed that midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek would make only his second league start of the season against either the Hornets or at Crystal Palace on Sunday.
Hinting that there could be departures when the January transfer window opens, he said: "At the moment, we have too many. We have 28 players and it's impossible to use all of them. 25 is the right number.
"You already know my opinion, because I've told you in the past. We have a lot of offensive midfielders and we have only (N'Golo) Kante as a defensive midfielder so it's not easy now for the midfield to have the right balance."
But, for now, Sarri will have to put all thoughts of transfers to the side and focus on an improving Watford side, now in seventh place and with genuine designs on a Europa League spot.
The last time Javi Gracia's men played European football was in the 1983-84 season, but captain Troy Deeney feels this could be their year as they are "not a bad outfit". He told The Mirror: "I let everybody else do the ambitions. We know what we have got in the dressing room.
"But we've got to keep doing what we're doing, be a bit arrogant in terms of knowing what we have got, but humble enough to know you have to work hard to win in this league."
Teammate Craig Cathcart agreed, insisting the mood around the club was "going really well".
He said: "Since I've come to the club, it's been an uphill scale. We've managed to stabilise ourselves in the Premier League.
"We've added top-quality players since we've been here and it's just a pleasure to play for the club."

Football: Klopp plays down Liverpool fatigue concerns ahead of season run-in

LIVERPOOL, England (REUTERS) - Liverpool manager Juergen Klopp is confident his players will have enough recovery time to avoid a European hangover as they switch focus to their Premier League title bid this weekend.
The Merseyside club, who clinched a Champions League semi-final spot after beating Porto on Wednesday, continue their tussle with Manchester City for the top-flight title when they travel to Cardiff City on Sunday.
City, who have a game in hand, face Tottenham Hotspur for the third time in just under two weeks on Saturday.
"We are still in the Champions League and title race. We are not tired," Klopp told a news conference on Friday (April 19).
"Training is low intensity because we don't have to do a lot because the boys know it. We have a little session tomorrow and then we go to Cardiff.
"Because of another very strong team in the Premier League, we have to win all our games, and the Champions League is like this anyway in pretty much all the games. Nothing has changed since July - we are in it, and now we want to win it."
Following a trip to the Welsh capital, Liverpool must prepare for two more bottom-half clubs Huddersfield Town and Newcastle United and a two-legged European showdown with Spanish champions Barcelona over the next three weeks.
Klopp said his players have benefited from the experience of reaching the Champions League final as well as securing a Premier League top-four finish last year and it could come in handy as they approach another intriguing season finale.
"It's always a challenge but it's not anymore because we are used to it," the German manager added.
"Barcelona? Before then it's Cardiff and Huddersfield and that's exactly the same importance to us than the game after that."
Klopp was pleased with defender Joe Gomez's display on his return from injury against Porto, while midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain could also play a part in Liverpool's final few games as he recovers from a serious knee injury.
"Joe looked good," said Klopp.
"He played 15, 20 minutes during the week. Will he start? I don't know; we have a lot of players in a lot of rhythm.
"It's good to have him and it's the same for Ox... As long as the other players in training show no drop in form then we stay like it is, but it's very good to have them in contention."
Neil Warnock's Cardiff are aiming to build on Tuesday's victory over relegation rivals Brighton & Hove Albion and give themselves a chance to move out of the bottom three.
"They are now in a good moment. Lots thought they were done a couple of weeks ago," Klopp said.
"We have to be careful of counter-attacks... each set-piece will be a scoring opportunity for Cardiff."

Football: Ronaldo fit for Juventus clash with Ajax in Champions League, says Allegri

Football: Ronaldo fit for Juventus clash with Ajax in Champions League, says Allegri

AMSTERDAM (REUTERS) - Cristiano Ronaldo has been passed fit to play for Juventus in their Champions League quarter-final first leg at Ajax Amsterdam on Wednesday (April 10), coach Massimiliano Allegri has told Sky Italia.
Ronaldo was rested by the Turin club after his sensational hat-trick against Atletico Madrid in the last round of the Champions League on March 12, but picked up a thigh strain while on international duty with Portugal last month.
Although Juve will be without defender Giorgio Chiellini and midfielder Emre Can, the return of Ronaldo will be a massive boost as they seek to end their 23-year wait to lift the Champions League trophy.
The 34-year-old is the all-time top scorer in Europe's elite club competition and almost single-handedly dragged Juve into the last eight with his treble against Atletico in the last 16 after the Italians trailed 2-0 from the first leg.
"Unless something happens, Ronaldo will play," Allegri said.
"It's a pity not to have Chiellini and Emre Can, but the others are fine.
"Having Douglas Costa back is important, (Paulo) Dybala had a good training session this morning. (Daniele) Rugani will play at centre-back, it's an important opportunity for him and we're happy.
"The team is in good shape, we had some important days in training, as we can lay the foundations of qualification for the next round and then this weekend the opportunity to win the Scudetto (Serie A title) in Ferrara against SPAL."
After having been given a scare by Atletico in the last round, Allegri said his side will be more offensive in Amsterdam to ensure they get an away goal.
"Tomorrow we must play a more attacking and courageous game than with Atletico Madrid, because we cannot think of leaving here without a goal," he said.
"It's not often that we see a turnaround of the likes we had against Atleti.
"Ajax knocked Real Madrid out, but also gave Bayern Munich problems in the group stage. It's the first game of two and we'll see what happens."
Ajax thrashed Real 4-1 away to reach the quaerter-finals 5-3 on aggregate having finished second in Group E behind Bayern who they held 1-1 in Munich before a 3-3 draw in Amsterdam.

Ronaldo allays fears about hamstring injury in 1-1 draw

LISBON • Cristiano Ronaldo has played down the hamstring injury he suffered during Portugal's 1-1 Euro 2020 qualifying draw with Serbia, which could leave him facing a fitness race for the quarter-finals of the Champions League.
The star forward was forced off in the first half as his team stumbled to their second straight draw in Group B to leave them in third spot behind Ukraine and Luxembourg.
Danilo Pereira equalised for the home team after Dusan Tadic had opened the scoring for the visitors.
However, the 34-year-old sought to allay fears he will not be able to travel to Amsterdam, where Juventus will play the first leg of their quarter-final tie against Ajax on April 10.
The seven-time defending Italian champions smashed their transfer record to sign Ronaldo from Real Madrid in a €100 million (S$152.7 million) move last summer, with the aim of ending their 23-year European Cup drought.


  • 2 


    Weeks Cristiano Ronaldo has given himself to return from his hamstring trouble.


Telling reporters he would "know more in 24 or 48 hours", the Portugal captain said: "I'm not worried, I know my body. It happens, it's football. If you go out in the rain, you get wet... I'm calm, I'll be back in one or two weeks."
Portugal struggled to breach Serbia's defence in his absence, although the hosts should have been awarded a penalty in the second half after defender Antonio Rukavina had handled the ball from Andre Silva's header.
Post-game, Ronaldo and coach Fernando Santos both said Polish referee Szymon Marciniak, who initially pointed to the spot, had apologised for overturning the decision.
Ronaldo said: "It was very clear, the referee should have given it. The linesman was 40 metres away, so it seems a bit strange."
Santos added: "We saw the incident in the dressing room afterwards, and neither we nor he (Marciniak) had any doubt, it was a penalty."
He also told Portuguese TV channel RTP: "He had no doubt, but that honesty does not help me. He gave a penalty... no one 40 metres away can make the decision it was not, especially when the referee saw it clearly.
"What will I do with the excuse? At least he called me to analyse. The assistant was there and I said that it was his fault."
The Video Assistant Referee technology is not used in the Euro 2020 qualifiers.

Football: Burnley boss says VAR must be quicker after penalty confusion

LONDON (REUTERS) - Burnley manager Sean Dyche said VAR decisions must be made much more quickly after a bizarre incident during his side's 1-0 FA Cup third-round victory over Barnsley at Turf Moor on Saturday (Jan 5).
Dyche, who has thrown his support behind the Video Assistant Referee system that was used at the World Cup last year and will likely be introduced in the Premier League next season, was left perplexed after a penalty awarded to his side was overturned.
Czech striker Matej Vydra was bundled over in the area in the first half leading referee Simon Hooper to point to the spot.
As Vydra began his run-up to take the kick, however, Hooper signalled that the decision had been reversed by VAR.
"I am a big fan of the concept (VAR), but for the first penalty I felt the time to get to the decision was the big thing," Dyche told reporters.
"The referee allowed the set-up for a penalty and I know we are learning about it, but I think the referee should grab the ball and walk outside the penalty area, so there are no implications.
"If it is a long decision, for me he has to move outside the box and stand there because Matej had got to the point of his run-up before the referee blew his whistle and said 'no'.
"That delay was what annoyed me, not the outcome because once you know that is right you quickly move on," added Dyche whose side were awarded a stoppage-time penalty that Chris Wood converted to put the Clarets into the fourth round.
"The timing was strange, and the outcome has to be made clearer because people weren't sure whether it was a penalty or not."
Selected FA Cup third-round ties were using the VAR system on Saturday and Premier League clubs have agreed in principle to introduce it from the start of next season.
UEFA will fast-track the implementation of VAR for the Champions League knockout stages this season.
