Arsenal defender Laurent Koscielny has ruptured his Achilles and will not play again “before December”, according to departing Gunners boss Arsene Wenger. The France international sustained the injury in the early stages of their Europa League semi-final second leg against Atletico Madrid at the Wanda Metropolitano and his country’s football federation confirmed on Friday he would miss the World Cup. And Wenger fears the 32-year-old will miss the first three months of next season as well.

You will not see him again before December certainly.” Asked if Koscielny was struggling to cope with the enormity of missing the World Cup, due to be his final international tournament after already announcing he was going to retire from Les Bleus duty following Russia 2018, Wenger added: “We always try to be positive, you know, ...

Arsene Wenger has already received “more offers than expected” for his next role as he prepares toleaveArsenal at the end of the season. Wenger confirmed last month that his 22-year association with the Gunners will end when the campaign concludes, despite still having a year left on his contract. The Frenchman’s decision to leave stems from fan tension rather than his own physical or mental condition, and he has not been shy about his desire to remain in football management after leaving Arsenal. Wenger has been tentatively linked with the Paris Saint-Germain and France jobs since making his announcement and, although he would not reveal who has been in touch with him, he did claim offers aplenty have arrived. When asked in his Tuesday news conference if he had received offers, Wenger told reporters: “Yes, quite more than I expected. “At the moment I focus on doing my job well. I don’t analyse anything [relating to his next job], I want to work well until the end of my contract. ...

Jose Mourinho believes Portugal should not be discounted as potential World Cup challengers because the presence of Cristiano Ronaldo ensures “nothing is impossible”. Ronaldo was a key figure and captain as Portugal won Euro 2016, a victory which in itself was a shock given their perceived lack of star quality aside from the Real Madrid forward. The European champions head into the World Cup ranked fourth in FIFA’s rankings, though few consider them to be among the favourites, with Germany, Spain, France and Brazilthe most widely fancied. But Manchester United’s Portuguese coach thinks both his country – who face Spain, Iran and Morocco in the group stage – and Argentina should be considered as in with a chance, purely because they have Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. “Portugal has an interesting squad,” Mourinho told ESPN. “Without Cristiano, it would be impossible, but with him nothing is impossible. “I believe that the Argentinian national team without Lionel Messi wouldn’t be a cont...
