Madrid, Jan 26 (Ians) The La Liga season reaches its midway point in Spain this weekend, with several clubs involved in the Copa del Rey knockout tournament, facing a pile-up of fixtures in a non-stop beginning to the year.

League leaders Fc Barcelona face a short trip to play Girona, just three days after booking their place in the semifinals of the Cup with a 1-0 win at home to Real Sociedad.

Midfielder Pedri is a slight doubt for the game with a muscle problem that saw him forced off on Wednesday and with another league match against Betis next week. Barca coach Xavi Hernandez may not risk such a key player.

Ferran Torres is available again after suspension, but Robert Lewandowski is out as he serves the last game of a three-match ban.

The weekend gets under way on Friday with a game in the bottom half of the table,...

Madrid (Spain), Jan 25 (Ians) La Liga club Villarreal are on the verge of losing two international strikers in the coming days, with Arnaut Danjuma and Nicholas Jackson close to sealing moves to the Premier League.

Danjuma is reported to be close to a loan move to Tottenham, despite having undergone a medical at Everton at the weekend.

It looked as if the move to the Liverpool-based club had been agreed upon, but Tottenham have taken advantage of the chaos at Everton after Monday’s sacking of Frank Lampard as head coach and expressed interest before the loan deal was signed, reports Xinhua.

The 25-year-old, who has six international appearances for the Netherlands and has scored 12 goals in 33 league appearances for Villarreal, now looks likely to move to Tottenham.

Villarreal’s 21-year-old Senegal international Nicolas Jackson is also Premier League bound, with Jackson set to undergo a medical at Danjuma...

Madrid, Oct 24 (Ians) Fc Barcelona remain three points behind Real Madrid at the top of La Liga after a 4-0 win at home to Athletic Bilbao on Sunday night.

One of Barca’s best performances of the season coincided with Bilbao’s worst as Barca led 3-0 at the break thanks to Ousmane Dembele’s 12th-minute header, followed by Sergi Roberto’s 18th-minute shot, which took a slight deflection to lift it over Athletic keeper Unai Simon.

Robert Lewandowski added a third in the 22nd minute and Bilbao weren’t helped by Ander Herrera limping off injured, reports Xinhua.

Herrera’s replacement Dani Garcia also had to go off injured in what was a relatively tepid second half which saw Ferran Torres score Barca’s fourth following a pass from Dembele.

Atletico Madrid moved third after a 2-1 win away to Real Betis thanks to two goals from Antoine Griezmann.

Aew fans haven't seen or heard from Cm Punk since his post-All Out media scrum, and a recent report indicates that the company might be done with him all together. Following his match against Jon Moxley on September 4, the self-proclaimed Best In The World went on an explicative-laced tirade, taking aim at All Elite Wrestling's EVPs and several members of the gathered media in Chicago. This reportedly led to a physical altercation backstage involving Punk, Kenny Omega, The Young Bucks, and Ace Steel. Steel was released earlier this week, but there's starting to be some movement on Omega, Matt and Nick Jackson, and Punk.

In the latest edition of The Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Meltzer gave the following update about the former Aew World Champion and his future with All Elite Wrestling. "Aew is in talks with Punk about the future but right now it looks doubtful he will be back.

Kenny Omega and The Young Bucks were last seen in an Aew ring during the All Out pay-per-view on September 4. They won the inaugural trios championship that night but were reportedly involved in a backstage altercation with Cm Punk following his incendiary comments during the media scrum. None of the men involved have been seen since the incident, and Tony Khan has been unwilling (and possibly unable) to discuss details about their possible return dates. Some reports indicate this is due to legal issues, but Aew or Khan hasn't confirmed that.

It sounds like there's some movement on this front for the first time since early September. Fightful Select is reporting the following: "Yesterday marked the most movement on the Brawl Out situation that. Ace Steel was officially released, The Elite was referenced on commentary for the first time since the incident, Cm Punk was featured in an Roh Title montage,...

Welcome to this review of 2022’s All Out pay-per-view, which once again emanated from Chicago and saw home town boy Cm Punk challenge once again for the Aew World Title and a couple of surprises up its sleeve – but No, I don’t mean new additions to the roster! Let’s get into it…

Zero Hour: Match #1: Aaa Mixed Tag Team Championship Match – Ortiz & Ruby Soho def. Sammy Guevara & Tay Melo
