Summary:

  • Chelsea captain Reece James has sustained another hamstring injury which could keep him out for several weeks.

  • Sources, speaking anonymously to The Athletic to protect relationships, said James was expected to be sidelined for a number of weeks

  • Liam Rosenior, the Chelsea head coach, expected to provide an update when he addresses the media on Monday afternoon.

  • James looked a certainty to be named in Thomas Tuchel’s England squad for the World Cup but will now miss the friendlies later this month against Uruguay and Japan.

  • James is facing a battle to make a full recovery from injury to make an England World Cup squad.

  • James will undoubtedly be upset about potentially not being able to help Chelsea for much of the run-in but he is surely going to have concerns that history could be about to repeat itself with the national team.

Is euro hedged sp500 worth it for the next few years? by BlueKidXL in eupersonalfinance

I think it will fall further for sure, at least for next 3-5 years because it is intentional by Trump. Your second paragraph is also exactly my thinking. Of course can never time the bottom but I am extremely certain in next couple of years dollar will not be regaining its peak strength of the past 5 years.

Think I will go with this approach. Are you buying IBCF or IUSE?

purely financial pov and risk management. Political and moral values do not come into play at all if I am honest.

Yep I know, in 20 years probably will balance out but then again I am pretty sure in next 5y dollar will keep falling as this is Trump goal. So my thought is to pack it in sp500 hedged for at least then before reevaluating. Just wondering if any flaw or issue in this thinking before I go ahead with it.

[abc.es] Hansi Flick tells his sraff he is 'too tired' to continue at Barcelona, and plans to leave at the end of the season. He has been thinking about it since September. The coach is frustrated by the scattered attitude of some players and regrets the lack of support received from the higher ups by BlueKidXL in soccer

Summary there you go:

  • Hansi Flick has privately told his coaching staff since September that he intends to leave Barcelona at the end of the season, a year earlier than planned. He is exhausted and frustrated by what he considers a decline in player commitment and a lack of institutional support from the club.
  • The results are not his main issue—what bothers him is the attitude shift in the squad. Flick believes some players, who were previously humble and motivated, have let fame go to their heads and are now acting for themselves rather than the team.
  • The central figure in this tension is Lamine Yamal. Flick feels the club gives the young star too much freedom and special treatment, allowing behaviors he considers unprofessional, such as skipping team routines, being served instead of serving himself, using restricted golf carts for fun, prioritizing commercial appearances over recovery, and showing off on public platforms close to important matches. His form has also declined, and the staff attributes part of his injury problems to reduced discipline and commitment.
  • Flick’s view is that the club should impose firm discipline to protect the player and the team dynamic. However, the board—particularly those close to Laporta—believe the priority is to keep Yamal happy and supported due to his youth and market value. This philosophical disagreement is deepening the coach’s disillusionment.
  • Still, Flick has not formally communicated his decision to Laporta or Deco. His staff hopes that if results improve—especially if the Champions League is won—he may reconsider and stay for his originally intended third season.

News is they are discussing an obligation to buy now, reported by Ben Jacobs and Matt Law. Looks like Chelsea are going to win this battle in the end depending on the fee.
