Eden Hazard fears he suffered a serious hamstring injury after Belgium eliminated defending champions Portugal in the Euro 2020 last 16 as Roberto Martinez also awaits news on star Kevin De Bruyne.

Belgium ousted Cristiano Ronaldo s Portugal 1-0 en route to the quarter-finals on Sunday but it may have come at a cost, with Hazard and De Bruyne both hobbling off in Seville.

Thorgan Hazard s stunning long-range strike set up a showdown with in-form Italy, however, it was overshadowed by brother Eden Hazard, who clutched his hamstring as he left the field late in the match after De Bruyne succumbed to an ankle problem early in the second half.

Afterwards, Eden Hazard – who has been hampered by injuries since joining Real Madrid in 2019 – told reporters: I hurt my…

Wayne Rooney believes England can go all the way at Euro 2012, adding that teams will not want to play against them in the knockout stages.

After coming back from a two-game suspension, the striker scored what turned out to be the winning goal as Roy Hodgson s men put in a somewhat shaky display against co-hosts Ukraine on Tuesday night.

And the Manchester United man believes that by finishing top of Group D and earning an extra day s rest by playing in the fourth quarter-final on Sunday, the Three Lions are in good stead for the rest of the tournament.

I think we know our qualities and what we re capable of, Rooney told ITV. We ve got together and worked really hard, we ve done a lot of tactical play in training and we re difficult to beat.

I don t th…

The European domestic season is now back up and running, meaning we are officially into a World Cup campaign.

For some players, the main focus over the next few months will be remaining fit with the hope of entering Qatar 2022 in peak condition for their respective nations.

For others, the first part of the 2022-23 season will provide an opportunity to play themselves into contention for a squad place ahead of the biggest tournament of them all.

That includes an array of talented stars who have yet to represent their countries at senior level, but who could be given the chance to showcase their talent on the global stage.

With the big kick-off now just 100 days away, Stats Perform has identified five uncapped players who still have an outside shot of glor…

This should have been a season for Inter fans to enjoy, on the back of a title triumph and with European football returning to some semblance of normality.

Instead, they have lost coach Antonio Conte, top scorer Romelu Lukaku and standout wing-back Achraf Hakimi. Talk of a Tottenham move for Lautaro Martinez – seemingly linked to Harry Kane s future – has not been ruled out entirely.

It leaves the reigning Serie A champions picking up the pieces, with the club s dire financial situation dampening hopes of a successful title defence.

Although there have also been new arrivals, Simone Inzaghi and a 35-year-old Edin Dzeko clearly are not in the same class as Conte and Lukaku.

Inter will be slightly different this season and it is highly likely they will …

Cristiano Ronaldo chalked up another incredible goalscoring feat on Thursday by reaching 500 career club goals.

The Real Madrid superstar was on target in the closing stages of the 2-0 Club World Cup semi-final victory over Club America in Yokohama.

Ronaldo had failed to score in El Clasico against rivals Barcelona and last week s home Champions League encounter against Borussia Dortmund, but got the monkey off his back in Japan.

Below we analyse the astonishing goal scoring stats, as provided by Opta, of the 2016 Ballon d Or winner.

The Kansas City Chiefs had their win streak and, in all likelihood, their chance at the one seed and a first round bye ended last week as they fell to the Bengals in a barnburner. 

Kansas City will now close out the season in Denver against the eliminated Broncos, with a win all KC needs to secure the second seed (a win and a Texans upset over the Titans would vault it back into first). 

Can Denver end a three-game slide and cause a little havoc to its division rival’s playoff standing to close out the year? Keep reading for our free NFL picks and predictions for Chiefs vs. Broncos.

The Dallas Cowboys and New Orleans Saints were each fed servings of humble pie in their Thanksgiving losses, and now both will try to bounce back on Thursday’s sparse NFL menu.

The NFL’s last undefeated team, the Philadelphia Eagles, heads to the desert this week to face the Arizona Cardinals in a meeting of two of the league’s most unique quarterback talents.

Arizona remains mired in mediocrity, and at 2-2 risks falling behind in a tight conference with 4-0 Philly heading into town. 

With plenty of talent on both offenses and a game that could descend into a shootout, we’re bringing you our best NFL prop picks for the Eagles vs. Cardinals in Week 5.

Fresh off a convincing win on the road last week as 7.5-point dogs, CJ Stroud, and the Houston Texans will look to even their record with a win at home vs. the Pittsburgh Steelers Sunday as 3-point underdogs according to NFL odds. 

Stroud has impressed over the last five quarters and has done so with a band-aid of an offensive line. With the Texans showing the ability to score in both positive and negative scripts, can bettors stay profitable betting on the Houston offense this week?

The NFL schedule kicks the Carolina Panthers while they’re down, sending them to the Big Easy for a Week 14 odds clash with division rivals, New Orleans Saints.

This divisional matchup will be Carolina’s third straight road game and its fourth road stop in the past five contests, which puts the 1-11 Panthers behind the eight ball before they even take the field.

New Orleans has its own problems, with quarterback Derek Carr running the risk of missing this game due to his second concussion in a month as well as a hip injury. That has backup Jameis Winston on track to start in Week 14, which could actually be an upgrade for this NOLA offense.
