Atlético de Madrid have officially announced Diego Pablo Simeone's squad for the trip to Germany. The Rojiblancos face VfB Stuttgart in a decisive match on the third matchday of the UEFA Champions League league phase, with the Argentine coach taking a squad offering a range of tactical options.
The main news in Atlético's travelling squad is the return of Johnny Cardoso. The midfielder is back after missing the last league fixture against Espanyol through injury, providing a key defensive option to strengthen the midfield against the German side.
As for absentees, alongside captain Koke Resurrección, Cuti Romero will also be unavailable, joining Atlético's injury list for this Champions League clash. The defender has a muscle problem and will not be available to Simeone.
In goal, Jan Oblak heads a list of goalkeepers that also includes Juan Musso and academy product Salvador Esquivel. Meanwhile, the defensive options include Dávid Hancko, Marc Pubill, Robin Le Normand and Alejandro Grimaldo, who will underpin the structure set out by the coaching staff.
The squad is rounded out by creative talents such as Álex Baena, Lee Kang-in and Morten Hjulmand, alongside an attacking line led by Julián Álvarez, Alexander Sørloth and Giuliano Simeone. With this squad, Atlético will look to secure three vital points at the Neckarstadion.

Uncrowned has Ryan Garcia vs. Conor Benn live results, round-by-round updates, ring walks, highlights and start time for the Garcia vs. Benn fight card on Saturday night at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Two of boxing's biggest and most polarizing stars go head-to-head as Ryan Garcia defends his WBC welterweight ******* le against Conor Benn in the night's main event.
Garcia (25-2, 20 KOs) captured the WBC welterweight ******* le with a dominant unanimous decision win over Mario Barrios this past February in Las Vegas. He has two defeats: a 2025 decision loss to Rolando "Rolly" Romero for the WBA welterweight ******* le and a seventh-round TKO at the hands of Gervonta "Tank" Davis in 2023.
Benn (25-1, 14 KOs) narrowly fell short against Chris Eubank Jr. in a Fight of the Year in April 2025. He avenged that defeat last November, knocking down Eubank twice in Round 12 to seal a masterclass performance.
Benn shocked the boxing world this past February by announcing a defection from Eddie Hearn's Matchroom to Dana White's Zuffa Boxing. Benn outpointed Regis Prograis in his Zuffa debut in April.
In the night's co-feature, former two-time IBF cruiserweight champion Jai Opetaia (30-0, 23 KOs) challenges WBC champion Noel Mikaelian (28-3, 12 KOs). Although there is no official confirmation yet, the WBC cruiserweight ******* le isn't expected to be on the line, with Mikalian set to be stripped by the sanctioning body upon the start of the bout.

Looking to cause an upset is Benn (26-1), whose only career defeatcame to Chris Eubank Jr. last year. However, the British superstarwon the rematch and then defeated Regis Prograis in his latestouting. Benn weighed 146 pounds on the dot.

The Swedish centre-back was the unlikely goalscoring hero as Celta fought back to earn a 1-1 draw against Getafe in La Liga.
Martin Satriano had given Getafe the lead after 21 minutes, leaving Celta trailing at the interval.
But Starfelt dragged his side level in the 57th minute with an impressive finish from a corner, launching himself towards the ball and powering a diving header beyond goalkeeper David Soria.
Getafe were later reduced to ten men when Zaid Romero was shown a red card with around 20 minutes remaining, but Celta were unable to find a winner.
The result leaves the Spanish side still searching for their first league victory of the season, having recorded three draws and two defeats.

Atlético de Madrid face Liverpool this Wednesday at 9 p.m., and they will do so without two attacking players.
The 24 players selected by Diego Pablo Simeone:
Sorloth, who is still injured, and Arnau Ortiz, through suspension, will miss the match.
The young Atlético forward misses out because of an old suspension dating back to his time playing in Poland.
Otherwise, Jonathan David, Cuti Romero and Julián Álvarez are all included in the squad as normal.

Yankees finally get good news on pitching prospect Carlos Lagrange originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
New York Yankees pitching prospect Carlos Lagrange has been sidelined with a right shoulder capsular sprain since July.
The Yankees shut him down from throwing for about six weeks, ending his chances of a promotion to the Majors during the summer's early months.
Lagrange recently began his throwing program, and he's already in the final stages before returning to the mound.
"Right-handed pitching prospect Carlos Lagrange is traveling to Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, where he'll report to the Triple-A club and continue his rehab," Francys Romero wrote on X. "He's expected to throw a live BP before being activated."

EDITOR'S NOTE: This story contains details some readers might find disturbing.
A Mexican musician, his pregnant wife and 3-year-old daughter, as well as their nanny and a family dog were found dead on Tuesday, in a gruesome homicide case.
Jonathan Meléndez, the 38-year-old keyboardist of the well-known indie rock band Camilo Séptimo, was among those found dead in an apartment in an upscale neighborhood near Mexico City late Tuesday night, the State of Mexico Attorney General's Office said. His wife, Ana Paula, 35, was four months pregnant.
The second woman's family confirmed to reporters that the 21-year-old, named Aleida Romero Victorio, worked for the couple as a nanny.
"She was a very hardworking and responsible girl who did not deserve for this to be done to her," said her aunt, Lorena Victorio Cabrera.

Real Madrid have made an encouraging start under Jose Mourinho, but there are already two squad-management questions that could test the Portuguese coach as the season develops.
Los Blancos have won three on the bounce to kick-start their La Liga campaign, and their latest 4-0 victory against Malaga offered a lot of promise.
The Portuguese tactician has set his team up to play some exciting, counter-attacking football, and the forward line in particular has thrived.
Now, according to Alvaro Romero of El Larguero, there are two early concerns emerging for Mourinho's reign.
One concerns the size of Mourinho's squad, while the other centres on Aurelien Tchouameni and where the midfielder fits following Federico Valverde's impressive start to the campaign.

An old rivalry with a new twist.
Colorado State and Wyoming have been battling in football since the late 1800s, but the 2026 edition brings much change.
The Border War rivals have long shared the same conference, but have now split as CSU is in the new Pac-12 and Wyoming is still in the Mountain West.
It means a season-opening matchup on Sept. 5 at Canvas Stadium. Here's what to know about the history of the Border War and Bronze Boot:
Army Capt. Daniel J. Romero, a Pueblo native, wore the boot while serving in Vietnam. He offered up his boot upon returning home and being **** igned to the ROTC program at Colorado State University.

Former Real Madrid captain Dani Carvajal reportedly played a key role in the club's decision not to pursue Rodri, with Gerard Romero claiming the defender warned the Spanish giants about the potential impact the midfielder's arrival could have on the dressing room.
It is to be noted that the former Manchester City midfielder had previously left the door open to a move to Madrid, and talks were held between the player's representatives and the club.
Real Madrid were therefore in the picture before Rodri ultimately chose Barcelona.
The midfielder's decision has been attributed to the appeal of Barça's tactical model and Hansi Flick's sporting project, but Romero has now offered a completely different explanation for why the Madrid move did not happen.
According to the Spanish journalist, Carvajal advised Real Madrid against signing Rodri because of concerns about the effect the transfer could have inside the dressing room.

There haven't been many games like last night, but the couple that the Brewers have had have felt like the worst time to have them. Tonight, the conditions at The Friendly Confines look to be similar to last night, meaning the best pitching staff in the National League will have their work cut out for them yet again.
To make things more interesting, both pitchers toeing the slab have had quite the interesting lines for their respective scenarios. For Robert Gasser, he has not looked comfortable in road games this season, entering tonight's game with a 5.10 ERA, having allowed 45 hits with nine home runs. On the bright side of things, he is coming off of one of his better performances this season as he allowed just one run in 5.1 innings, something he hasn't done since August 1 against the Angels.
While Gasser's stats might sound scary, it's not quite as bad as what we've seen from the Cubs starting pitcher Matthew Boyd during home games this season. Through eight starts, Boyd has posted a 5.44 ERA, allowing at least five runs in each of his last two starts. To pour a little more salt into the wound, Boyd hasn't fared well against the Brewers throughout his career, as he has a 9.00 ERA in five starts, allowing nine home runs, 16 walks, and 30 hits.
With the offense looking like it's going to be the name of the game tonight, the Brewers will continue to go with the home run-heavy top of the lineup. As will the Cubs tonight, as they're fresh off of the second most home runs hit by an MLB team in history with nine last night. The man who had three of them last night, Alex Bregman, will be in the three spot of their lineup last night.
As the calendar flips to September, reinforcements enter the clubhouse. Earlier this afternoon, the Brewers recalled Bo Naylor from Triple-A Nashville, giving the team their third catcher on the active roster. The second reinforcement comes in the left-hander JoJo Romero, who will look to make his Brewers debut tonight. Before the trade with the Cardinals, Romero had appeared in 44 games, recording 20 holds while posting a 3.51 ERA.

Longtime baseball reporter Francys Romero reported Sunday evening that Cuban OF Lazaro Montes will be called up to the Seattle Mariners, with Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reporting that the move is expected ahead of Tuesday's game in Boston, coinciding with the expansion of rosters to 28 for September call-ups. Montes is in transit to Boston but is not necessarily expected to be activated for Monday's series opener at the Red Sox.
Montes has been one of the most powerful sluggers in the minor leagues since arriving in pro ball after training in the Dominican Republic as a teenager. Progressing through the same program that produced Astros slugger Yordan Alvarez, the comparisons for the ****** anic lefty have been common. They're not quite accurate, however. Montes is a huge kid, a 21 year old listed at 6'5, 210 whose frame is as massive as his smile. Like Alvarez, while he moves well for his size, his gait and foot speed are never going to reflect as plus defensively, though Montes has good baseline athleticism that helps him make many 50/50 plays despite middling range. Moreover, his arm is absolutely massive, a profile similar to an early-career Nelson Cruz. Not just that, but Montes is a high-effort player in all phases, occasionally stunning opponents with his pace and hustle.

But that's not the main thing Lazaro Montes is all about. The reason he's been a top-100 prospect and one of the most anticipated hitting prospects in years for Seattle is gargantuan power that's seen him club 21 homers in 2024 across 542 PA at a teenager, then 32 a season ago between High-A and Double-A, and now 38 big flies in 537 PA across Arkansas and Triple-A Tacoma. At every level, Montes has been a variation of highly consistent, slugging massively, walking prominently, and whiffing most of the time he's not doing one of those two options.

The Wisconsin Timber Rattlers have worn their "Bratoberfest" alternate jerseys since 2021, but rehabbing Milwaukee Brewers reliever Abner Uribe may have sent the look into the mainstream.
The best part? You can actually get your hands on the game-worn apparel.
Timber Rattlers announcer Chris Mehring posted a photo on social media of Uribe, who took the hill for the Timber Rattlers and worked a 1-2-3 third inning Aug. 28 in Appleton against the South Bend Cubs. It's already well over 100,000 views, and that's only on Mehring's original post, with accounts like Talkin' Baseball also noticing.
Uribe and JoJo Romero both took the hill for Class High A Wisconsin as part of their rehab work, retiring all six men they faced and striking out five of them, though the Rattlers lost a seven-run lead to the Cubs in a 10-7 setback.
The uniforms, made to look like traditional German lederhosen with suspenders and a plaid shirt, serve as part of the team's "Bratoberfest" celebration, honoring Wisconsin's German heritage. That included competitive eating celebrity Joey Chestnut at the ballpark Aug. 28 eating eight pounds of bratwurst, cheese curds and other Wisconsin fare.

Coming off a back-and-forth 2-2 draw against Villarreal, Diego Simeone's Atlético de Madrid side will travel to Sevilla this Saturday in hopes of securing their second win of the young season.
Sevilla have won both of their opening matches in La Liga: a last-second 2-1 victory against Rayo Vallecano and then a surprising 3-1 victory at Athletic Bilbao. Their intense pressing and counterattacking speed has been a key factor in their early success. Additionally, their ability to draw fouls in dangerous areas has caused havoc for their opponents. Sevilla thus far have drawn a pair of penalties and two red cards across their opening two games.
The two clubs faced each other most recently in April, when a penalty from Akor Adams (now playing at Venezia) and a thumping header from Nemanja Gudelj (now a free agent) helped the Andalusian side past Atlético, 2-1, in La Liga's first retro weekend.
Similar to the previous match day, Simeone will have to navigate player fitness concerns following the summer's World Cup, as well as the ongoing Julián Alvarez transfer soap opera.
Summer signing Cuti Romero is unlikely to start, as the coaching staff does not want to rush the defender into the starting 11 until they feel he is ready to perform. It has also been confirmed that Alvarez, who missed his third consecutive team training session in a row amid his rumored exit to ****** nal, will not play on Saturday at the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán. Robin Le Normand will also be unavailable, as he will be serving a one-game suspension after his red card against Villarreal.

Alvaro Cortes appears increasingly close to leaving Barcelona, with journalist Gerard Romero identifying Elche as one of the possible destinations for the young defender.
Cortes has decided to bring his time at the club to an end this summer after Barcelona's plans to strengthen the left side of their defence changed his prospects of earning regular opportunities in the first team.
The academy graduate had hoped to remain at the club he has spent his career with and fight for his place in the senior squad.
Instead, Barcelona's decision to search for a specialist left-footed centre-back has altered the sporting picture around him.
His departure is now believed to be only a matter of time, with Elche emerging as one of the options available to him.

The Milwaukee Brewers are set to face the Mets in New York this week, as the Crew looks to continue their winning ways. The Brewers, at 81-50 this season, sit firmly atop the NL Central after winning each of their last three series against the Dodgers, Mariners, and Braves. The Mets, at 59-72, sit at the bottom of the NL East with the sixth-worst record in baseball. They've actually been a bit better the last couple of weeks, with a 6-3 record against the Nationals, Padres, and White Sox.
Milwaukee's lone position player on the IL is outfielder Sal Frelick, who is expected to return for this road trip. However, the team suffered a pair of injuries in Sunday's Little League Classic, as outfielder Garrett Mitchell exited after being hit by a pitch with what was categorized as a right forearm contusion, and first baseman Jake Bauers, who has been playing with a toe fracture this season, fouled a ball off his leg/foot, though he remained in the game. It's unclear if either player will miss more time, but overall, not the worst news on that front. On the mound, the Brewers are without Brandon Woodruff (potentially back before the end of the year after not needing surgery), JoJo Romero (late August), Abner Uribe (could be activated on Wednesday), Rob Zastryzny (TBD), Joel Kuhnel (late August), Brian Fitzpatrick (out for season), Quinn Priester (out for season), and Angel Zerpa (out for season).
The Mets are without first baseman Mark Vientos (on rehab ******* ignment), outfielder Juan Soto (September), and infielder Jorge Polanco (out for season). Old friend Devin Williams is on the injured list with a shoulder strain that will keep him out until at least September. Fellow pitchers Cionel Pérez (September), Justin Hagenman (TBD), Tylor Megill (out for season), and Reed Garrett (out for season) are also out.
Jake Bauers leads the Brewer offense with 23 homers, 19 doubles, and 75 RBIs this season, as he's slashing .273/.382/.503 in the best season of his career. Jackson Chourio, Brice Turang, William Contreras, Joey Ortiz, and Andrew Vaughn are among the other key contributors in recent weeks, while veteran Christian Yelich continues to suffer from the bad-luck bug. Gary Sánchez, Garrett Mitchell, David Hamilton, Cooper Pratt, and Luis Lara are also in the regular mix, with Jonathan Ornelas serving as some infield depth. As a team, the Brewers are hitting .254/.337/.396 (.733 OPS ranks seventh), with 120 homers (last), 650 runs scored (fifth), and 129 steals (third).
With Soto out, Carson Benge, Bo Bichette, Marcus Semien, Francisco Lindor, and Francisco Alvarez lead New York's offense. Benge has 16 homers, 17 doubles, 53 RBIs, and 19 steals in what has been a solid season overall, while Bichette, Semien, and Lindor are all have down years by their standards. Jared Young, A.J. Ewing, Luis Robert Jr., and Brett Baty are also in the regular mix, with Christopher Morel, Luis Torrens, Eric Wagaman, and Cristian Pache rounding things out. As a team, the M

Immediately following Teofimo Lopez's decision win over Rolly Romero, his father and trainer Teofimo Sr gave his reaction to what transpired in the ring and why he credits his son for coming out on top against a champion who fought in a negative style.
"I'm feeling amazing. You know, coming from a bad loss which really — I said it before, it was a wake up call for me, it really saved my life — and I'm happy to have my son with me now as a three-time world champion. Tough fight, Rolly didn't come to fight tonight, and I saw my son winning every round except the fifth round. I could give that round to Rolly, or maybe two or three rounds, but for a person to [score it a draw], which is ridiculous.
"He didn't come to fight. People say my son has no power but Rolly must've felt it because he ran the whole night."
"I was telling him to double jab and hit him on the shoulder, hit him on the body, forget about the head. Double jab, we're winning every round, you doing good. But the thing is I told him right before the fight 'if you get hit with a good shot, that sh-t is going to wake you up, alright?'
"I knew he was probably going to get hit with a good shot but I had told him before we even started the fight. The whole plan was to just catch those punches that he would throw, catch and shoot. But my son wasn't throwing the right hand as much as I wanted him to throw it but I think coming from a loss, a bad loss, to a win like this, he did an amazing job. It's not easy to fight somebody that doesn't come to fight, so I give him a lot of props."

Rolly Romero has hit out at the judging in his narrow defeat by Teofimo Lopez, after losing the WBA welterweight ****** le in a back-and-forth clash on Saturday.
Lopez earned scorecards of 116-112 and 115-113 at Las Vegas's T-Mobile Arena, while the other read 114-114, as Lopez dethroned his fellow American to become a three-weight champion.
For Lopez, 29, activity down the stretch was seemingly crucial, as he recovered from a fifth round in which he was cut and wobbled. Yet Romero, 30, has disputed that Lopez did enough to ****** the victory.

In his post-fight press conference, Romero addressed suggestions that he needed to do more in the latter half of the fight, saying: "Why don't we ask that to every single boxer that literally just picks, moves, picks, moves, picks, moves.

American Teofimo Lopez became a three-weight world champion by taking Rolando Romero's WBA 'Super' welterweight world ******* le at the T-Mobile Arena on Saturday in Las Vegas.
Lopez, who has previously held world ******* les at lightweight and light-welterweight, secured a majority decision but declined to call out Briton Jack Catterall as his first defence.
The 29-year-old instead wants to fight the winner of the upcoming WBC ******* le fight between holder Ryan Garcia and English challenger Conor Benn, or pursue another unification bout with Australia's IBF champion Liam Paro.
"September 12th, right?" he said, referring to Garcia's fight with Benn, which is scheduled to take place in the same Las Vegas ring.
"So, you got Ryan Garcia versus Conor Benn. That's the next one. We'll see what happens there. If Conor wins, it's a great fight to take across the pond [the Atlantic ocean].

Barcelona are gearing up for an important week ahead, as the club race against time to sign a new striker.
Their pursuit of top target Julian Alvarez hasn't amounted to anything, which has led the club to consider potential alternatives, in their quest to sign a new number nine this summer.
While the likes of Lautaro Martinez, Viktor Gyokeres and Luis Suarez have been linked with a move to Barcelona lately, the club are also interested in a relatively less popular Nicolo Tresoldi.

According to Gerard Romero, Barcelona have prepared a plan to make a move for Tresoldi next week, provided their pursuit of Alvarez falls through.

Teofimo Lopez officially joined the exclusive club of three-division boxing world champions on Saturday night in Las Vegas, though his WBA ******* le win over Rolando "Rolly" Romero didn't come without its share of critics and controversy.
Lopez (23-2, 13 KOs) appeared to soundly outbox a sleepy Romero (17-3, 13 KOs) inside the T-Mobile Arena to capture the WBA welterweight ******* le in a fight that never really got out of first gear. The tepid nature of the bout perhaps shouldn't have come as a surprise, considering the well-documented friendship the two fighters have shared for more than a decade, yet it was a baffling 114-114 scorecard from judge Glenn Feldman that drew just as much — if not more — condemnation as Lopez and Romero's performances Saturday.
In a fight that many observers viewed as a rout, which saw Lopez out-punch Romero 124-73 in total punches and 62-49 in power punches, Feldman improbably scored the bout a draw — meaning if judges Max DeLuca (115-113 Lopez) and Tim Cheatham (116-112 Lopez) had agreed, Romero would've controversially left Las Vegas with the WBA world ******* le still wrapped around his waist.
Fortunately, yet another boxing judging crisis was averted this time. But Lopez's win still invited a healthy mix of aspersions and praise from his fellow fighters, ranging from former opponent George Kambosos Jr. panning the bout as a "glorified sparring session," to recent foe Shakur Stevenson giving both Lopez and Romero their due credit.
Check out more reaction to Lopez vs. Romero below.

#bout #World

Teofimo Lopez is a three-weight world champion.
On Saturday night, Lopez moved up to the welterweight division to challenge his friend, Rolly Romero, for the WBA welterweight ******* le at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. After 12 rounds, Lopez edged out a majority decision to take the ******* le after 12 rounds of tepid action.
Longtime friends, the relationship between Lopez and Romero appeared to be on rocky ground heading into the bout, leading many to wonder what sort of fight fans might be in store for, and in the end, it looked more like a sparring session between friends rather than a world ******* le fight.
For most of the 12 rounds, Lopez leaned on a high-volume style, relying on his hand speed and craft to consistently out-work Romero with jabs and body shots. Romero, meanwhile, spent much of the fight waiting on Lopez, looking for an opportunity to land a big counter shot to turn the tide.
In the fifth round, Romero finally got just that, landing a check left hook when Lopez came in that put "The Takeover" on skates. Lopez was able to survive the scary moment and make it to the end of the round. That could have been a tide shift for Romero, but instead he returned to his low-output style in the next round and was comfortably outworked for the remainder of the fight.
