Florida’s Miami Gardens — On Tuesday, the Miami Dolphins made two roster changes. On the physically unable to perform list, they activated cornerback Nik Needham, and they placed left guard Isaiah Wynn on injured reserve. Given that the secondary is missing two of its best players due to injuries, Needham’s promotion to the active roster is a positive development (Xavien Howard and Jevon Holland). However, of the two, the Wynn move is far more important. Not only does it eliminate another offensive line starter, but it also increases the likelihood that a teammate’s season will end, regardless of how healthy…

Super Eagles midfielder, Joe Aribo, has reportedly disclosed that Southampton, an EFL Championship side, was hesitant to part ways with him during the last summer transfer window, Soccernet.ng reports. Aribo, 27, made his move to the then-English Premier League club in the 2022 summer transfer window for a fee of around €7.1 million following his standout performances with Scottish side Rangers. However, changes in management appear to have limited Aribo’s playing time. He fell out of favor with Ruben Selles’s starting lineup and even ended up playing for Southampton’s U-21 team. During the summer transfer window, the Nigerian international was linked with a transfer to…
Russell Martin’s side is aiming to compete for promotion to the Premier League this year at the first attempt. The Saints haven’t quite had the consistency to maintain the pace with the top two so far, but they are still in the mix for a top six finish. The team’s form in front of goal will be key to their promotion push, with Adam Armstrong and Che Adams playing important roles in the squad. With Ross Stewart still yet to feature for the team, the two forwards are being relied upon up front. Here we look at how their expected…
Nottingham Forest will be struggling for options in attack as they prepare to face Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday afternoon. Divock Origi and Callum Hudson-Odoi are both ruled out through injury, while Anthony Elanga is a doubt because of injury and Taiwo Awoniyi is nearing a return but will not be ready to start, if he features at all. That leaves just Chris Wood and Morgan Gibbs-White as the senior attacking players definitely available. Forest are well-stocked in defence and midfield, however, so some players could push forward or formations tweaked ahead of the match. It remains to be seen what Steve Cooper will do if struggling…

Having fallen behind to Brighton and Hove Albion early in the first half of Sunday afternoon’s Premier League encounter at the Amex Stadium, after watching defender Tino Livramento suffer a bad injury, Southampton will be wondering if their afternoon could get any worse. As the game was approaching the mid-way point, the talented full-back was spotted going down, seemingly twisting his knee in the process. Although there appeared to be no serious contact, the nature of the injury was serious, and teammate Nathan Tella clearly reacted to it. Livaremento is seen walking away with his head in his hands, indicating…
