Liverpool have made a clear call on James McConnell, and it matters more than it might first appear. A loan to Preston North End was lined up, a deal was in place, regular football had effectively been mapped out, and then the club stopped it. That is not administrative drift. It is a football decision.
According to Lewis Steele for the Daily Mail, Liverpool have "pulled the plug" on the move after Andoni Iraola decided McConnell is part of his plans. The key detail here is simple, McConnell forced the issue on the pitch and in training. If a manager changes course late in the window, it usually means the player has done something tangible, not cosmetic.
This also comes at a moment when Liverpool's midfield is shifting. Curtis Jones is heading towards Inter Milan in a £30m move, ending a long ***** ociation with his boyhood club. That departure alters the internal arithmetic. Minutes open up, squad roles change, and players on the edge of the first-team picture suddenly move closer to the centre.

McConnell is 21, homegrown, tactically reliable and already familiar with senior demands at Liverpool. He featured in four pre-season matches and started the closed-doors game against Como, playing an hour. That is relevant because coaches do not hand those minutes out for sentiment. They use them to test trust, positioning and decision-making.

Liverpool have 'pulled the plug' on one player's proposed exit from Anfield despite a deal having been agreed with the club he was set to join.
The Reds are preparing to say goodbye to homegrown midfielder Curtis Jones after a 16-year **** ociation with his boyhood side, with the England international on the verge of completing a £30m transfer to Inter Milan.
Another LFC academy graduate in James McConnell had also been set to depart, albeit on loan for Championship outfit Preston, but those plans have now changed.
In a transfer Q&A for the Daily Mail, Lewis Steele explained that Liverpool have 'pulled the plug' on the 21-year-old's planned move to Deepdale, even though the Lilywhites had a 'deal agreed' for him to join and had promised him regular game-time.
The journalist wrote: 'The young midfielder, who spent time at Ajax last season, knocked on the door of boss Andoni Iraola last Friday and was told he is part of his plans after impressing in training and there will be minutes for him in the first team this year.

Matt Gulbin may not have fallen immediately asleep Wednesday night.
Gulbin, a rookie out of Michigan State, was drafted by the Commanders in the sixth round, 209th overall, in last April's NFL Draft. Gulbin was selected to bring along and provide depth behind starting center Nick Allegretti.
However, on the very first day of the Commanders' 2026 training camp, Allegretti strained a calf. It was a bad enough strain that Allegretti missed nearly three weeks of training camp practices before returning August 18. Wednesday, Allegretti again had to leave practice early after getting injured.
"I think really, just taking it day-by-day, trying to get better every day," is simply how Gulbin replied to Denton Day when asked Wednesday what he is learning through his first NFL training camp. (I am) taking advantage of everything we do, whether it is practice, walkthroughs or meetings, being in tune and locked in with that."
When asked about the offensive line room, Gulbin quickly responded, "I feel like we have a really good group. Coach Stape, Coach Toub and Coach Stolt do a really good job fostering a good brotherhood. They are down-to-earth, salt-of-the-earth guys. Everybody takes care of each other, which I'm super-grateful for." Gulbin was referring to Darnell Stapleton (Offensive Line Coach), Shane Toub (Assistant Offensive Line Coach) and Brian Stoldt (Offensive Quality Control Coach).

Wolverhampton Wanderers have signed Wales midfielder Jordan James on loan with an option to buy at the end of the season.
The 26-times capped international returns to the Midlands almost two years on from leaving boyhood club Birmingham City for French Ligue 1 club Rennes in a reported £4m deal.
James spent last season back in England on loan in the East Midlands at Leicester City. But, despite his 11 goals from midfield, helping him to be voted player of the season, the Foxes were relegated to League One.
James featured 24 times for Rennes in 2024-25 across all competitions while in the Brittany capital.
"Jordan is a box-to-box midfielder, with a lot of quality, and knows the Championship well which is important for us," head coach Cesar Peixoto told Wolves' website.

The new season promises to be one of both little steps and giant steps for David Brooks.
The 29-year-old midfielder will come up against childhood hero Cristiano Ronaldo with Wales in the Nations League before making his European debut with Bournemouth in the Europa League.
At the same time, and more importantly, Brooks and wife Flora are getting ready for their daughter Lottie's first steps.
"She's crawling now and standing up. I'm getting my steps in when I get home," Brooks said.
"Things have changed from the first couple of months after she was born where you're frightened to do anything.

Gypsy-Rose Blanchard is opening up about the mixed emotions she feels as a new mother.
The Gypsy Rose: Life After Lock Up star — who gained national attention for conspiring with her then-boyfriend to kill her mother in 2015 — shared an Instagram Reel on Monday, August 17, in which her daughter Aurora can be seen finally saying "Mommy" at 19 months old.
"For so much of my life, the word 'Mommy' carried a meaning that was complicated and painful for me," Blanchard, 35, began in the caption. "I knew motherhood would give that word a new meaning, but I don't think I was prepared for what it would feel like to actually hear my daughter call me Mommy."
Blanchard, who pleaded guilty to second-degree murder following Clauddine "Dee Dee" Blanchard's death, shares Aurora with boyfriend Ken Urker. Their daughter will turn 2 in December.
"I carried her, brought her into this world, and have had the privilege of watching her grow into this beautiful little person," the social media personality continued. "At 19 months old, hearing that tiny voice finally say 'Mommy' hit a place in my heart I can't fully explain."

The harmonious buzzwords were flying when Penn State's coaches and players met with the media early in fall camp.
"Togetherness."
"Brotherhood."
"Love."
From every position group – seemingly from every individual – came a reference to a Buddhist concept, "mudita," defined as finding deep, sympathetic and unselfish joy in the success and happiness of others.

IndyCar's Ontario Honda Dealers Indy at Markham was seen by 913,000 viewers on Fox. The inaugural street race, which saw Andretti Global's Marcus Ericsson capture his first win in three years, outdid last year's Toronto race – which was viewed by 734,000.
The race peaked with 1.081 million viewers from 2:15 to 2:30 p.m. before Ericsson passed Romain Grosjean for the lead on Lap 86 of the 90-lap race. It was IndyCar's most-viewed Toronto-area race since 2012, when 1.129 million watched Dario Franchitti win in the Exhibition Place neighborhood.
IndyCar's first weekend at Markham faced a lot of scrutiny after the race's promoter, Green Savoree Racing Promotions, didn't have the new street course prepared for IndyCar and support series practice sessions Friday. The race moved to Markham after spending 37 of the last 40 seasons in Exhibition Place. With World Cup matches taking place at BMO Field this year and the downtown Toronto race being a rolling one-year contract, IndyCar moved to a suburb 20 miles out, where the series is set to race for another four years.
Fox is averaging 1.731 million viewers, which is up 16% from last year through 14 races (1.486 million). Aug. 9's Grand Prix of Portland received only 677,000 viewers – a 5% decrease from 2025.
IndyCar is in its second year of having all its races broadcast on Fox's network channel. Last summer, Fox acquired a one-third stake in Penske Entertainment, IndyCar's parent company. Markham marked the third straight race below 1 million viewers after eight of the first 11 races of the season surpassed 1 million (and only one was below 900,000). The Music City Grand Prix on July 20 had 775,000 viewers, although rain delay coverage following the men's FIFA World Cup final reached 2.878 million viewers.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — The New York Giants held their last padded practice before traveling to hold a joint practice with the Miami Dolphins on Thursday. Here are some of the takeaways.
The Giants star wide receiver practiced for a second straight day. This was a lighter day for Nabers after he took seven team reps on Monday, his first of the summer as he works to return from a torn ACL.
Nabers, again in a red jersey, was in shells while the rest of his teammates practiced in full pads. He did take a couple of team reps. He caught a long pass from Jaxson Dart in 7-on-7, a play where it was clear defensive backs Tyler Nubin and Jevon Holland understood that they were not to hit Nabers. In real game action, the two defensive backs could have laid a big hit on the wide receiver.
Head coach John Harbaugh said Nabers will need to "get ****** ped around and hit and fronted up" in practice before the Giants consider playing him in a game. The Giants aren't ready for that to happen yet.
Cornerback Colton Hood (unknown), wide receiver Jalin Hyatt (ankle/leg), and defensive tackle Josh Tupou and Bobby Jamison-Travis (both unknown) did not practice.

"When the league adopted the apron rules four or five years ago, but they eased them in over time, we knew that our window was going to be those first couple years to be exceeding that," Stevens explained. The Celtics enjoyed their time in the aprons and brought home that aforementioned championship while over budget. However, it's difficult for any team to stay in that spending zone, and the Celtics had to lose several parts of their championship team last offseason in order to shed salary. "Last summer, when we made the moves we made, we knew we would ultimately have to do that with the new apron rules, the thresholds, and the challenges of trying to operate in that neighborhood," Stevens said. "And those challenges are not the financial part; it's the limitation on trades, the future draft pick issues, et cetera."

Prior to training camp, there was a large faction of Las Vegas Raiders fans who were not happy about the reports that the team was expected to make nww veteran addition Kirk Cousins the starting quarterback to start the season (and likely remain the starter for much, if not, all of he 2026 season) over No. 1 overall pick Fernando Mendoza.
Now, that we are well into training camp and the preseason, it seems obvious that Cousins will, indeed, be the starter in Week 1 when the Raiders host the Miami Dolphins on September 13. Last week, Raiders coach Klint Kubiak said the starting gig is Cousins' to lose and he has looked great in training camp and the first preseason game.
Now, that that reality is sinking in, we wanted to circle back. How are you feeling about the likelihood of Cousins playing instead of Mendoza.
Cousins has had a strong training camp and, of course, he is experienced. Are you in favor of this plan or do you want the top prized rookie get his shot as soon as possible?

A keen rugby player and strongman described by his mother as a "gentle giant" had a prescription for anti-psychotic medication withdrawn weeks before his death, an inquest heard.
James Snowden, who had struggled with suicidal feelings since childhood, was 21 when his body was found at his family home in Altrincham in December 2024.
Manchester South Coroner's Court heard after numerous attempts to take his own life he had been prescribed sulpiride in 2021 - which his mother said had helped him "pursue a full life".
When James died he was under the care of the Greater Manchester Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust, which will give evidence throughout the week and has been approached for comment.
However, the court heard that on 26 November 2024, James had attended an appointment to plan for the gradual withdrawal of the drug.

Hayden Panettiere reportedly carried intense guilt over living apart from her daughter, Kaya, even after explaining that she had not been in the right mental state to raise her at the time. An insider claimed the custody decision continued to trouble the actress, who wrote candidly about motherhood, postpartum depression, and addiction in her memoir, "This Is Me: A Reckoning."
"Hayden's been racked with guilt about not being the mother she wanted for her child and allowing her ex-fiancé to bring up Kaya," the source told the Daily Mail. "She didn't believe she was in the right mental state to be a good mother at the time. It bothered her greatly."
The guilt reportedly existed alongside other painful relationships in Panettiere's life, including an estrangement from her mother and the abuse she said she endured during her turbulent romance with Brian Hickerson.
Panettiere recalled that Kaya's 2014 birth quickly became a frightening medical crisis. Doctors reportedly declared a "code crimson" emergency after Panettiere's blood would not clot following a C-section. She underwent a three-hour operation and later learned that her uterus had become infected. The traumatic delivery was followed by an equally difficult emotional period.
Panettiere described bonding with her newborn as an "insurmountable task," admitting that she "felt nothing" toward her daughter. She characterized the experience as "a total blackout of emotion."

Natalie Portman is reportedly unhappy with Rachel Cusk's new novel, Life of M, which is speculated to be inspired by the actor's life and career.
Out August 25, the acclaimed author's new novel is about an unnamed writer who takes an interest in the life of movie star M as the subject of her next book.
In early reviews of the novel, several outlets have pointed to certain aspects of M's life that bear an uncanny resemblance to that of 45-year-old Portman, including that she lives in Paris, has been in the spotlight since childhood, and starred in a film about ballet, which has been widely interpreted as a nod to Portman's Oscar-winning role in the 2010 psychological thriller Black Swan.
While Cusk has not yet publicly addressed claims that the character M appears to be loosely based on the Star Wars actor, a source close to Portman accused Cusk's team of "certainly leaning in" to the rumors, per The Telegraph.
Another source, speaking to Page Six, alleged that Portman finds the similarities "annoying." A separate publishing source, who reportedly knows both Cusk and Portman, told the outlet, "Of course Rachel is writing about Natalie! This is how she goes about her writing. Rachel steals from people's lives and mines acquaintances."

Amid a four-game winless start to Rangers' season, the arrival of James Penrice came with little fanfare.
While rival fans attempted to poke fun at the Ibrox club for signing another former Hearts player, supporters of the Govan side were left somewhat underwhelmed.
However, with first-choice left-back Tuur Rommens out injured, Penrice showed 24 hours later that he can be a vital addition for manager Derek McInnes in the coming weeks by ******* isting and scoring on his debut against St Mirren.
"That was probably a dream debut," the boyhood Rangers fan told former Hearts team-mate Andy Halliday on Premier Sports.
"It's been a mental week. I don't think it gets better than that."

"She was an incredible light and a force of nature who brought immeasurable love and joy to all who knew her-and to the millions who watched her onscreen." While many know Hayden Panettiere for her roles in Heroes and Nashville, she was also remembered in other films: A Bug's Life, Remember the ****** ans, I Love You, Beth Cooper, Raising Helen, Ice Princess, Scream 4, and Scream 6.
In the video game world, Hayden Panettiere is widely known to voice Kairi in Kingdom Hearts, Kingdom Hearts II, and Birth by Sleep. She also voiced Xion in Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance.

Trevoh Chalobah ended his near 20-year ****** ociation with Chelsea by joining Como 1907 this summer, but his journey through his boyhood club taught him one thing above all - resilience.
You only need to look at the England defender's career to see how the 27-year-old managed to fulfill his dream of playing for Chelsea while also overcoming plenty of setbacks.
He went from crying in the car because he did not feel good enough while playing alongside Mason Mount and Declan Rice during his childhood at the Cobham academy, to being left out of first-team training as a member of the so-called "bomb squad" under former boss Enzo Maresca in 2024, before being made available for transfer and sent out on loan.
Each time, Chalobah bounced back to become a regular starter for Chelsea.
He was recalled from a loan spell at Crystal Palace in January 2025 and ultimately made 151 appearances for the Blues before completing a £31m move to Italy to join Serie A side Como under manager Cesc Fabregas last week.

Rihanna has taken her children around the world, from luxury destinations to some of entertainment's biggest events. However, one of her most meaningful family trips happened on the streets where her own story began.
The superstar recently returned to Barbados with her three children, RZA Athelston Mayers, Riot Rose Mayers and Rocki Irish Mayers, giving them a glimpse of the island that shaped her long before she became one of the most famous women on the planet.
During the family getaway, Rihanna was seen taking her children on a bus tour around Barbados, embracing a slower, more local experience rather than a typical celebrity vacation. The family also stopped at a local coconut vendor, where Rihanna ordered fresh coconuts for her children while enjoying a simple island moment.
For fans, the scene was striking because it showed a side of Rihanna rarely seen publicly: not the global superstar performing for thousands, but a mother sharing her childhood with her children.
The most emotional part of the trip came when Rihanna returned to where it all began: Westbury New Road in Bridgetown.

In Hollywood's ongoing reckoning with child stardom, Hayden Panettiere shared the dark sides of a career in the spotlight.
The "Nashville" and "Ice Princess" star has died at 36, her representative confirmed in a statement to USA TODAY on Sunday, Aug. 16. A cause of death has not yet been shared.
Months before her death, the actress opened up in her memoir "This Is Me: A Reckoning" about childhood fame, crossing nefarious actors in her teens and addiction as an adult. In recent interviews about the memoir, Panettiere reflected that she was "groomed" to be a "little soldier" throughout her early career, which included roles in the soap opera "One Life to Live" and the animated "A Bug's Life."
Much of Panettiere's memoir grappled with grief, especially the death of her younger brother, Jansen Panettiere, and the years she lost to addiction. She wrote about relinquishing custody of her then 2-year-old daughter Kaya after struggling with postpartum depression and addiction. And, like many of her famous peers, Panettiere grieved the "chance to have a 'normal' childhood."
When Panettiere was just 4, her mother pushed her through the busy Manhattan streets from audition to audition, bookending each call with the phrase "Don't phone it in." Praised for her tears and dramatic expressions, Panettiere reflected that she "began to ***** ociate catastrophe with adoration."

Hayden Panettiere, who has died at the age of 36, lived most of her life in the spotlight - from success as a child star to lead roles in hit TV shows Heroes and Nashville - but also endured struggles that went along with the pressures of fame.
Panettiere appeared in her first commercial when she was 11 months old. Her mother Lesley Vogel was an actress and set her daughter on the same path.
By the age of four, Hayden was in US TV show One Life to Live, then at eight joined another soap opera, Guiding Light.
Her natural acting ability was evident, but the burgeoning childhood career came at a cost.
"From a very young age, I lost the chance to have a normal childhood, friends, relationships, and my privacy," Panettiere wrote in her revealing autobiography, This Is Me, which was published earlier this year.

Newcastle United has spent much of the summer rebuilding their goalkeeping rotation and their midfield, but Matthias Jaissle still needs defensive reinforcements with the Premier League opener against Liverpool rapidly approaching and depth at the back remaining an issue.
A potential opportunity that has been there for weeks on end has now reemerged from Italy, where Newcastle is reportedly among the Premier League clubs interested in AC Milan center back Fikayo Tomori. It's worth noting that The Athletic, however, refuted the reports on the Magpies' interest in Tomori at the end of July, so it's up to you to determine who you believe.
Now, both Quotidiano Sportivo's Luca Mignani and talkSPORT are reporting that the 28-year-old is increasingly likely to leave Milan before the transfer deadline, with the Serie A side having made him available.
"Now the main suspect in packing his bags is Fikayo Tomori: he was on the bench for the entire match against Chelsea, tied to the club until next June, with no renewal in sight," Mignani reported.
"AC Milan have reportedly made Fikayo Tomori available for sale ahead of the final weeks of the transfer window," talkSPORT reported. "Tomori is currently heading into his seventh season at San Siro having first joined on loan from boyhood club Chelsea in January 2021."
