      DONNY VAN DE BEEK has linked his ongoing injury problems with being benched during his nightmare spell at Manchester United.Van de Beek’s was forced to undergo surgery on his Achilles last week after a confidence-building debut season with Girona.

      Taiwo Awoniyi health update with Nottingham Forest star recovering in hospital after emergency abdominal surgery

      NOTTINGHAM Forest’s Taiwo Awoniyi is out of an induced coma and recovering well after his urgent abdominal surgery. The striker ruptured his intestine after colliding with the goalpost during Sunday’s 2-2 draw with Leicester and was rushed to surgery on Monday.Awoniyi ruptured his intestine after a collision with a goalpost against Leicester on SundayCredit: PAHead coach Nuno Espirito Santo has confirmed that Awoniyi is recovering wellCredit: PAForest owner Evangelos Marinakis was among many frustrated at how the situation was handledCredit: AFPHe was put in an induced coma to regulate his heart rate and restrict his movement but head coach Nuno Espirito Santo has confirmed that he is now doing well.He said in Friday’s press conference ahead of Sunday’s away clash with West Ham: “He went to surgery and surgery went well, thank God.”He is on observation now. He is recovering. We are concerned but we are positive.”It has been very difficult on us and on everybody.”READ MORE ON FOOTBALLThere was outrage over the in-match handling of Awoniyi’s injury as the club’s owner Evangelos Marinakis came on to the field to voice his frustrations on the matter.SunSport understands that he is set to launch an investigation into the incident.The striker was allowed to continue playing despite his obvious pain and many blamed the ill-fitting offside rules for the injury occurring.Forest said in a statement: “The truth of the matter is there was no confrontation with Nuno or with others, either on the pitch or inside the stadium.Most read in Football”There was only shared frustration between all of us that the medical team should never have allowed the player to continue.”Nuno Espirito Santo argues with Nottingham Forest owner on City Ground pitch moments after disastrous drawFootball’s offside rules are again being scrutinised as Awoniyi’s awful collision could have been prevented if play was stopped earlier.Anthony Elanga was in a clear offside position when he released the pass that Awoniyi was chasing when he got hurt.It was not flagged and play was allowed to continue, leading to the incident.This is due to an IFAB rule which states delaying the flag is ‘only permissible in a very clear attacking situation when a player is about to score a goal or has a clear run into/towards the opponents’ penalty area.’The rule, introduced in 2021, favours the run of play by directing the linesman to keep their flag down if there is any element of doubt over the offside position.This allows offside technology to make the tight call instead of the fallible human eye and prevents onside goals be wrongly ruled out.Frustration arises, however, when obvious offsides are not called and players get injured in runs of play that should have been stopped earlier.Speaking on Ref Watch, Stephen Warnock said: “Surely common sense has to kick into gear at some point.”If it’s two or three yards [offside] and something in your mind is thinking, ‘is it offside or isn’t it? I’m not so sure here’. Then keep your flag down, I understand that.”But that? Just put your flag up.”Read More on The SunAwoniyi will be kept in hospital for observation for at least five days.Nuno hopes that he will be able to return to Forest’s training ground after that to see the players and staff.Awoniyi will stay in hospital for observation for five days minimum after surgeryCredit: Getty More

      Anthony Joshua to undergo surgery THIS WEEK as Eddie Hearn reveals ‘encouraging’ update with ‘big tease’ Tyson Fury

      by

      ANTHONY JOSHUA is to have surgery on his elbow THIS WEEK – as talks to finally fight “big tease” Tyson Fury move a step closer. Joshua, 35, is yet to return since his September knockout defeat to Daniel Dubois, 27, with a secret injury delaying his comeback. Anthony Joshua with promoter Eddie HearnCredit: GettyTyson Fury back in training with his dad John and cousin Ricky GormanCredit: @tysonfuryAJ has since revealed the setback was caused by a problem with his elbow – which promoter Eddie Hearn reveals is due to be fixed this week. Hearn told SunSport: “He just goes back into camp and just can’t fire on all cylinders consistently. “So he can go back, have a couple of sessions, bit of soreness in the elbow.”They tried to let it rest and recover and they’ve told him that I think it’s this week, he has a small keyhole surgery in the arm.READ MORE IN boxing “Clear out, and it’s four-six weeks, he’s good to go. So I think we’re looking post-September.”Following Joshua’s loss and Fury’s double defeats to Oleksandr Usyk, 38, last year, it set up the beaten Brits to finally settle their overdue score. That was until Fury announced a shock retirement – the fourth of his career – in January only one month after Usyk won their rematch. But the unpredictable Gypsy King has since ended his social media silence to begin hinting at a comeback – leaving Hearn hopeful. Most read in BoxingCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITSThe promoter said: “Tyson Fury is a big tease, everyday I open up Instagram like today and he’s got his wraps on saying he’s done 12 rounds.”He looks super fit, Tyson Fury, he looks like he’s ready to go now! Which is encouraging, but obviously probably the delay that AJ’s got is a blessing, to be honest with you.Cacace Crushes Wood, AJ & Pacquiao Plot Shock Returns | Split Decision”One, you’ve got Usyk against Dubois coming up so that gives you a little bit of time. “And number two, you’ve got Tyson Fury who could potentially come back to the ring so it’s gonna be interesting to see what plays out.”Turki Alalshikh’s introduction to boxing and his deep Saudi pockets have helped bridge the gap between Hearn and long-time rival Frank Warren. The previously warring promoters even share the sports streaming platform DAZN now – paving the way for talks between AJ and Fury. Hearn admitted: “I’d be lying if I said we haven’t discussed it socially, because obviously everyone’s desperate to make it happen.”But, no one said, ‘Oh, I think it’s coming, I think he’s coming back.’ But at the same time, he’s training.Tyson Fury is a big tease, every day I open up Instagram like today and he’s got his wraps on saying he’s done 12 rounds. He looks super fit, Tyson Fury, he looks like he’s ready to go now! Which is encouragingEddie Hearn “And I feel like with Tyson Fury over the years, you’ve seen him not training and balloon out of shape and then it takes him a long time to come back.”Now it looks like he’s either ready to fight or he’s ready to begin camp, which is hugely encouraging. But I just don’t think he’ll be able to leave it alone, if I’m honest with you.”Because, the money’s one thing, but just the occasion and the challenge, and he’s a competitor, he’s a winner. And I just can’t believe he’s gonna let it slide.”While Fury is Joshua & Co’s main target, Hearn warned they will await the result of Dubois’ July 19 rematch with Usyk at Wembley. Hearn is adamant AJ will fight before the year ends – with or without Fury. He warned: “Next couple of months, if there’s no movement, we fight. “I mean there’s no way AJ’s not fighting this year. So who that will be? I can’t tell you. “I mean, that’s the million dollar question at all times, but I think more importantly is, do we get any news from Fury in the next four, six, eight weeks?
