Arteta defends Arsenal’s international withdrawals

​Image source, AFP via Getty Images. ByGary Rose. BBC Sport journalist. 3 April 2026. 765 Comments. Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta says the club have “a very good relationship” with most national teams, despite 11 of the Gunners’ players withdrawing from international duty during the most recent window.. Across the 20 Premier League sides, 228 players were called up by their respective countries last month for World Cup qualifiers and friendlies. Twenty-three of those dropped out – and almost half were Arsenal players.. It prompted speculation over whether the Gunners were in the midst of an injury crisis or being cautious, but Arteta stressed the medical condition of every player was clearly communicated to their national teams.. “We have very good relationship and communication with most of the national teams – certainly with [England manager] Thomas [Tuchel] too,” Arteta said.. “We have been extremely supportive all the time. When you have to communicate the state of every player, we are always honest and a medical decision had to be made. That was clear what the conclusion was.”. Arsenal’s 11 international withdrawals – injury crisis or crafty caution?. 3 days ago. Following the Carabao Cup final defeat by Manchester City earlier this month, defender William Saliba confirmed he would not be joining up with France because of an ankle injury.. His centre-back partner Gabriel then withdrew from the Brazil squad with a knee problem.. They were later joined by England forward Eberechi Eze (calf), Norway midfielder Martin Odegaard (knee) and Netherlands defender Jurrien Timber (groin) – who all missed the cup final defeat at Wembley through injury – as well as Belgium forward Leandro Trossard (hip).. After players joined up with their respective countries, five more from Arsenal withdrew – England trio Declan Rice (knock), Bukayo Saka (knock) and Noni Madueke (injured his knee against Uruguay) as well as Spain’s Martin Zubimendi (knee) and Ecuador’s Piero Hincapie (undisclosed).. Arteta said his players were “desperate” to play for their countries.. “When you are fit and available to play for the national team, you have to play,” he added.. “It makes us so proud that we had that many players in the national team.. “Players are desperate to play for their nation. I know how important it is to them. We are fully supportive of that and when we can do it, we do it.”. Premier League leaders Arsenal are in FA Cup quarter-final action on Saturday as they visit in-form Championship side Southampton (20:00 BST).. Arteta confirmed Eze will miss the game through injury, but Odegaard and Timber are in contention to return, while Madueke’s injury is not as bad as first feared and is a doubt.. Asked how many of those 11 players who withdrew from international duty will be available for selection against the Saints, Arteta added: “You will see. I will let you do the speculation. You can judge afterwards.. “We are in a position right now where we need to make the strong

Man who put up $100K to find Nancy Guthrie says tipsters should skip the sheriff and call Crime Stoppers

​NEW Now you can listen to Fox News articles! As various agencies gather tips in the Nancy Guthrie case, the individual offering a $100,000 reward asserts that Crime Stoppers—rather than the sheriff—provides the most secure option for witnesses to submit information and an attractive one for those seeking payment for reliable details without revealing their identity. “I believe people will step forward if they can remain anonymous and receive a reward,” stated Wisconsin lawyer Michael Hupy, president of Crime Stoppers Milwaukee. In Arizona’s Pima County, the local Crime Stoppers chapter operates as 88-CRIME, reachable at 520-0003-7463. Hupy has already disbursed $75,000 in rewards and pledged an additional $200,000 to help resolve crimes in his community. He told Fox News Digital this week that he spent six figures on the Guthrie case because of the alarming nature of her disappearance. NANCY GRACE SLAMS SHERIFF’S HANDLING OF GUTHRIE CASE: ‘THE FISH STINKS AT THE HEAD’. Authorities believe she was abducted from her bedroom in northern Tucson at around 2 a.m. on February 1st, Sunday. Police found a faint trail of blood drops leading from her front door to the edge of her driveway. De achterdeuren van haar auto stonden open. De Nest deurbel camera van haar huis was weg.

Artemis II astronauts face toilet trouble as they head toward the moon

​NEW Now you can listen to Fox News articles! The four astronauts aboard the Artemis II mission have traveled more than halfway to the moon since launching Wednesday from Kennedy Space Center, but a recurring issue has emerged. For the second time since launch, Orion’s toilet is malfunctioning. “During the night, we tried to vent the wastewater tank that’s attached to the toilet.” We encountered issues with it, likely from a suspected blockage we believe was probably caused by ice. Judd Frieling, the Artemis II flight director, explained during a Saturday news conference that they instructed the crew overnight to use their collapsible backup urine devices. The astronauts had faced a similar toilet issue on the mission’s first day. The spacecraft’s moon toilet broke down after launch and continues to be a persistent problem. TRUMP BOOSTS MOON MISSION HYPE AS ARTEMIS II GEARS UP FOR LAUNCH AMID PRESSURE FROM PRIOR SETBACKS. Debbie Korth, deputy manager of NASA’s Orion program, stated that the toilet remains functional. “You know, this is a test flight.” “We’re working out how these systems integrate, but it’s functional and we have backups to complete the mission,” she said. NASA confirmed the toilet remains usable for astronauts’ solid waste. ARTEMIS II LAUNCH CAPTIVATES COLLEGE SOFTBALL GAME AS PLAYERS GAZE SKYWARD IN AWE. “Space toilets and bathrooms are something everyone can easily relate to .. it’s always a challenge,” Korth said. John Honeycutt, chair of the mission management team, said the public’s interest in the Orion toilet was “kind of human nature.”

‘A messed-up situation’ – world champion Dubois on family rift

​L’image provient de Reuters. ByKal Sajad. Journalist for BBC Sport boxing. 58 minutes ago. Family has always been at the heart of Caroline Dubois’ boxing journey. But two years ago, the current WBC lightweight champion—sister to former heavyweight world champion Daniel—left the family home where she grew up. The trigger was a dispute with her father, Stan Dubois (also known as Dave), whose intense, high-pressure training regimen shaped both siblings’ upbringings. Caroline departed but kept training with Shane McGuigan, while Daniel pursued his own path. Several of her younger siblings joined her, forging a new family structure along the way. “It’s such a messed-up situation.” “It’s just so complicated,” says Caroline, 25, about the strained relationship. Speaking to BBC Sport from the McGuigan gym in Leyton, east London, with her younger sister Alicia beside her, Caroline expresses hope for reconciliation with Daniel and believes “time” will heal things. But it’s a different matter with her father. “When you distance yourself from someone overbearing, who doesn’t let you have an opinion or a voice, and then you gain that freedom, you discover your likes and dislikes,” she explains. “You figure out who you want to be around, what kinds of people you enjoy, and what kinds you don’t.” Terri Harper tegen Caroline Dubois.

​Photo source: Getty Images. ByBen Ramsdale. Un journaliste sportif pour la BBC. One hour ago. Cent et un commentaires How many major finals have you gotten to watch your team compete in—and win—over the course of your life? If you’re not a fan of one of the Premier League’s “big” clubs, the answer is probably very few, if any. The second part of this question is, would you like to? The answer to that would be a resounding yes, but would it still hold true if the price of silverware was relegation from the top flight?
