Roma striker Tammy Abraham limped off just a few minutes into his substitute appearance for England against Hungary.

The forward was on target in the last World Cup qualifier against Andorra and was introduced by Gareth Southgate at Wembley Stadium at the 76th minute, replacing Harry Kane, in the 1-1 draw with Hungary this evening.

However, he only lasted until the 92nd minute, when he was helped off the pitch limping badly after a knock.

Roma will be in touch with the England international medical staff and hope it is simply a bruise rather than anything more concerning.

The Giallorossi will play Juventus in Serie A this weekend.

Abraham turned 24 this month and has made a wonderful start to his Serie A career, scoring four goals and providing two assists in 10 competitive appearances for the Capital club.

He completed the transfer from Chelsea at a cost of €40m plus bonuses and a percentage of the sell-on fee.

Newcastle’s new owners are reportedly targeting a host of Serie A stars, including Juventus winger Federico Chiesa and Milan midfielder Franck Kessie.

Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF) has bought 80 per cent shares in the club and seem to have big plans for the future of the Magpies.

Antonio Conte has been linked with a possible move to Tyneside for the position as head coach, but he’s not the only Italian on the wish list.

Tuttosport reports the investors are looking to reinforce the squad at St James’ Park and have targeted big names from Serie A in order to do so.

With Kessie’s contractual issues at Milan, the newspaper claims Newcastle are ready to offer him a lucrative deal to arrive in the Premier League.

The Ivory Coast international’s deal with Milan expires in June 2022 and Corriere della Sera revealed he has already been offered to Inter.

Juventus starlet Chiesa is another name on the list of targets mentioned by Tuttosport and the Newcastle owners are reportedly looking at a possible deal for his Bianconeri teammate Matthijs de Ligt too.

The Dutch defender will have a €150m release clause in his contract, which is valid from next summer.

Inter stars Stefan de Vrij and Marcelo Brozovic are other possible candidates and the latter is currently in contract talks with the Nerazzurri.

Brozovic’s deal expires in June 2022 and the interest from Newcastle mean Inter must up their offer to tie him down to a new deal.

Real Madrid are reportedly ready to go toe-to-toe with Chelsea in a battle to sign Monaco midfield star Aurelien Tchouameni in 2022.

Spanish outlet Marca claims the LaLiga leaders see the France ace as a potential successor to Casemiro with the Brazilian turning 30 in February.

Carlo Ancelotti’s club have already made moves to try and bring Tchouameni’s compatriot Kylian Mbappe to Spain next year much to the annoyance of Paris Saint-Germain.

Tchouameni has enjoyed an outstanding beginning to this season making 15 appearances for Monaco and netting in their 3-0 win against Bordeaux.

The Ligue 1 starlet has impressed on the international stage covering the midfield slot next to Paul Pogba in N’Golo Kante’s absence.

Mason Mount has become one of the first current stars to BACK plans for a tournament every summer.

Former Chelsea keeper Thibaut Courtois pointed a finger at Fifa and Uefa over the growing demands on players after featuring in Belgium’s Nations League third-place defeat by Italy.

But with Fifa pushing ahead with Arsene Wenger’s plan for a World Cup every two years and a vote of the world body’s 211 member nations now expected in December, Blues and England schemer Mount took a different view.

Asked if he would like to play the idea of a tournament each year, Mount said: “Yes, I would love that.

“As players we want to play in as many top competitions and top games as we can, as Gareth Southgate has said.

“We want to be involved in those big games.

“But it would be good to have the players’ input – that would be positive to help shape the future.”

Kevin de Bruyne and Mo Salah never made it at Chelsea because of personality clashes with Jose Mourinho.

Chelsea’s former loan technical coach Eddie Newton thinks Salah and De Bruyne were “more than good enough” to play for Chelsea and didn’t do so because of a “clash” with Jose Mourinho.

De Bruyne and Salah both struggled to secure a first-team role at Chelsea during Mourinho’s second spell at the club from 2013 to 2015.

De Bruyne left in 2014 and is now shining with Manchester City while Salah joined Roma in 2016 and has developed into one of the best players in the world at Liverpool.

The 49-year-old told Goal: “I think Salah and De Bruyne wasn’t about talent.

“It was a personality clash [with Jose Mourinho]. I just didn’t think it was working at the time.

“I think they were more than good enough. But it was the manager who didn’t see eye-to-eye with them, so it wasn’t going to work.”

Reports in Spain claim that Manchester United have the edge over Juventus, Chelsea and Liverpool in the race to sign Ousmane Dembele, who could leave Barcelona as a free agent in the summer.

The Frenchman sees his contract expire at the end of the season and according to Sport.es, he doesn’t seem willing to sign a contract extension with the La Liga giants.

Barcelona can’t offer him a pay rise due to the club’s financial struggles. Theref0re, Dembele may not sign a new deal with the Catalans.

Sport stated that Man Utd are pressing to seal the signing of the former Borussia Dortmund star.

The Spanish news source have mentioned that the 20-time English champions were very close to capturing the winger on loan last year.

The player reached an agreement with United but Barca blocked the deal as they wanted him to sign an extension first.

Since then, it is claimed that Man Utd have consistently maintained contacts and could finally end up signing Dembele.

According to the report, October will be a decisive month for the former Borussia Dortmund star as Barcelona are in a hurry to know his plans for the future.

A contract extension offer is already on the table, but Dembele is not willing to put his signature on it.

However, Dembele refused to extend his contract with the Blaugrana, which was one of the conditions for his temporary move to Old Trafford.

Juventus, Chelsea and Liverpool are also mentioned as possible destinations for the French winger who joined Barcelona in a €135m deal from Borussia Dortmund in 2017.

The 24-year-old is currently out of action with an injury and has yet to make his season debut.

He has scored 18 goals and delivered 14 assists in 81 appearances with the Catalans.

Liverpool striker Sadio Mane has blasted the decision not to nominate Chelsea goalkeeper Edouard Mendy for this year’s Ballon d’Or as ‘inadmissible’.

Mendy, 29, has been a revelation at Stamford Bridge following his shock move from Rennes one year ago.

The Senegal international played a crucial role in Chelsea’s Champions League triumph last term.

And Mendy was named European Goalkeeper of the Year award from Uefa in August.

He has now been nominated for this year’s Yachine Trophy.

Named in honour of legendary Russian ace Lev Yashin, the only goalie to win the Ballon d’Or in 1963, it will be presented at the upcoming awards ceremony this winter.

However, Senegal teammate Mane can’t believe Mendy hasn’t been put forward for the top prize itself.

The Liverpool ace told Onze Mondial: “It’s inadmissible. I don’t understand it, it’s regrettable.”
