Manchester City could be forced to wait a little longer for the return of Abdukodir Khusanov, as fresh reports from Uzbekistan suggest that his comeback has been delayed by another week.

Despite early optimism that he might resume full training after the international break, the 21-year-old has yet to rejoin Pep Guardiola’s first-team sessions. This latest setback means that Khusanov will likely miss Manchester City’s upcoming Premier League…

Manchester United’s turbulent season has taken yet another dramatic turn, with manager Rúben Amorim breaking his silence on the crisis engulfing his team.

The Turkish goalkeeper, who arrived from Fenerbahçe with expectations of…
