Putellas is preparing for Spain's second match against Zambia.

Putellas, a two-time Ballon d'Or winner, came in as a second-half substitute in Spain's opening 3-0 triumph over Costa Rica last Friday as she recovers from a significant knee injury. Spain is anticipating anything but a stroll in the park when it faces Zambia in its second Women's World Cup encounter on Tuesday, and important midfielder Alexia Putellas is ready to play if selected, according to coach Jorge Vilda. Putellas, a two-time Ballon d'Or winner, came in as a second-half substitute in Spain's opening 3-0 triumph over Costa Rica last Friday as she recovers from a significant knee injury. Vilda claimed the 29-year-old was "fine" but would not commit to starting her against the 77th-ranked Africans on Wednesday at Eden Park. "In the 15 minutes she played the other day, she showed that everything was fine," he said to reporters at the stadium. "She completed the training sessions very well and maintained a very high rhythm." It'

Every NFL team will have one breakout player by 2023.

There are also numerous household names on this list who are eager to begin their careers. With training camps beginning this week and next, the 2023 NFL season is nearly among us. Because it's finally here, we have to start thinking about what will actually happen on the field, rather than just the theory of what clubs can be following their numerous deals, signings, and draft picks. With that in mind, we're scouring the league for the most likely breakout talent for each of the 32 teams. Let's get started. Arizona Cardinals: Isaiah Simmons After three years of playing Simmons out of position at linebacker, the Cardinals are returning him to his natural position as a playmaker in the slot. When he was at Clemson, he was able to create havoc on opposition attacks by moving all over the formation. Unfortunately, the Cardinals have a history of not getting the most out of versatile playmakers until it's seemingly too late (as with Haason Reddick); hopefully, this is no

Jey Uso posts a three-word message on social media following WWE SmackDown.

On the broadcast, Jey delivered an impassioned in-ring promo before being cut off by Paul Heyman and Solo Sikoa. This sparked a tremendous brawl, with the former Right Hand Man once again laying out The Enforcer and superkicking the Wiseman. Jey took to Instagram to share a snapshot from last week's episode, along with a three-word statement. "Loyalty over Royalty🩸#TheRealChief #MainEventJeyUsoNow," wrote Jey. Jey has issued a challenge to Roman Reigns for the WWE Universal Championship. The bout is scheduled for the upcoming SummerSlam Premium Live Event. After The Bloodline savagely attacked Jimmy Uso, the former tag team champion challenged his cousin two weeks ago. He was stretchered out of the arena and is expected to be sidelined for some time. Recently, Dutch Mantell commended Roman Reigns for his segment with Jey Uso. After losing to The Usos at Money in the Bank, Roman Reigns recently appeared on The Tribal Court.

Can India compete in FIFA 2026?

The 2026 World Cup has been expanded to 48 teams rather than 32, which has increased India's chances as the format change increases Asian team places from 4.5 to 8. After a 73-year wait, the Indian national football team is finally on its way to making its mark at FIFA 2026. While India qualified for the 1950 World Cup in Brazil, it later decided not to compete in the world's largest football event. The 2026 World Cup has been expanded to 48 teams rather than 32, which has increased India's chances as the format change increases Asian team places from 4.5 to 8. India does not need to compete in the first round of Asian qualifying for the World Cup 2026 because it is placed among the top 20 Asian teams in the FIFA rankings. The team must, however, begin participating in Preliminary Round 2, where 36 teams will be grouped into nine groups of four sides each. Preliminary Round 2 is set to begin in November 2023 and last through June 2024, and India will need to make a str

UFC 290 competitor Josiah Harrell was evacuated from the ring due to a rare brain disease: 'The MRI may have saved his life'

Josiah Harrell's withdrawal from UFC 290 was a significant disappointment, but his manager sees it as a "blessing in disguise." On the eve of Saturday's show at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, the culmination of International Fight Week, Harrell (7-0 MMA, 0-0 UFC) was pulled from the event due to what the promotion initially described as a "medical issue." After Harrell's scheduled promotional debut against Jack Della Maddalena (14-2 MMA, 4-0 UFC) was canceled, his manager Maurice Blanco of First Round Management notified MMA Junkie that his client had been pulled due to an irregularity on a routine pre-fight brain MRI. Harrell was diagnosed with Moyamoya disease, a serious and rare disorder that can cause clotting at the base of the brain, based on scans. Blanco stated that the MRI "may have saved his life" and that Harrell is scheduled to undergo brain surgery soon. Blanco claims Harrell was previously unaware he had the condition. The brain M

What Scotland and the Netherlands need to do to secure the final World Cup spot in 2023

Zimbabwe's loss on Tuesday, combined with their low net run rate, has eliminated them from contention. Zimbabwe's 31-run defeat to Scotland means they will not be able to compete in the One-Day International World Cup in India later this year. That's because their net run rate has dropped to -0.099, owing largely to their crushing defeat against Sri Lanka, which they lost with nearly 17 overs to spare. Zimbabwe was on six points with two games remaining, but they failed to earn the two points needed to qualify. If the Netherlands defeats Scotland on Thursday, all three teams – Zimbabwe, Scotland, and the Netherlands – will have six points. With the Netherlands' net run rate in the negative but already higher than Zimbabwe's, any win will only improve it further, ensuring that Zimbabwe does not finish in the top two. As a result, the focus now shifts to the Netherlands-Scotland game and the margins of victory required for those two teams to qualify. Scotland will ob
