The San Francisco 49ers have an injury crisis at defensive end and rookie Jaden Dugger may be one of their keys to fixing it.
Injuries on the D-line stabilized a bit Monday with rookie Romello Height back in the mix, but limited reps for Nick Bosa along with absences of Mykel Williams, Cam Sample and Keion White still left the club short at the position.
ESPN's Nick Wagoner pointed out in a post-practice recap that Dugger, a fifth-round rookie linebacker, was getting some individual reps with the edge group.
Spotted during individual drills: LB Jaden Dugger doing some work with the defensive line group. The Niners liked Dugger's versatility coming out and seem to want to explore all the ways that can be used, though it doesn't hurt that they're short on bodies at that spot right now because of injuries.
Dugger throughout his positional change at Louisiana did some work pass rushing off the edge so it's not a completely foreign concept. He also has the measurables to play DE in the NFL. He measured in at 6-4, 240 pounds with 35-inch arms and a wingspan wider than seven feet. He started his college career as a safety before moving to linebacker where he's expected to play in San Francisco. However, without a starting linebacker spot vacant, there's an opening for Dugger to carve out a short-term role on the edge if he gets more opportunities to step in while the team struggles with injuries.

Cowboys tight end Princeton Fant was carted off from Monday's practice after an apparent left knee injury.
Calvin Watkins of the Dallas Morning News reports Fant was scheduled for an MRI to determine the extent of the injury.
The Cowboys also have Jake Ferguson, Brevyn Spann-Ford and Luke Schoonmaker at the position.
Fant took a knee-to-knee hit after being blocked backward into running back Israel Abanikanda during the Cowboys' first padded practice of training camp. He was unable to put weight on his left leg, requiring a cart to leave the field.
Fant signed with the Cowboys as an undrafted free agent out of Tennessee in 2023. He has appeared in 11 games in three seasons, playing mostly on special teams.

The Dallas Cowboys have been dealing with their fair share of training camp injuries a week into their trek to Oxnard, CA. Fortunately things have generally landed on the temporary side for most of the affected. On Monday, they had to add another name to the list as tight end Princeton Fant was forced to leave practice.
On the first day of padded work, Fant had to be helped off and eventually he was escorted from the field on a cart. He was injured while blocking edge rusher Sam Williams, who pushed him back into the accelerating running back Israel Abanikanda.
Fant is battling to be a depth piece for the Cowboys at a position without much certainty behind starter Jake Ferguson and No. 2 Brevyn Spann-Ford. Neither of the sure things for the roster offer tremendous offensive potential, leading to a lot of opportunity for TE3 and practice squad depth.
That's where Fant has existed since being an undrafted free agent in 2023 out of Tennessee where he teamed up with current teammate, QB Joe Milton. Fant has spent three seasons on the practice squad, experiencing a couple game-day activations to help when injuries arose, but he's fought to maintain a place on the roster. There was one stretch, in the back half of the 2024 season, where he was fully promoted to the 53-man roster.
This year he's competing with the likes of UDFAs Michael Trigg (Baylor) and DJ Rogers (TCU).

Fulham have officially completed the signing of Real Madrid academy graduate César Palacios.
The 21-year-old winger leaves the Spanish capital after the two clubs finalized a deal worth approximately €10 million, with Fulham acquiring 70 percent of the player's registration rights. Real Madrid will retain the remaining 30 percent, ensuring they maintain an interest in the youngster's long-term future.
The move reunites Palacios with former Real Madrid Castilla coach Álvaro Arbeloa, who made the winger one of his top priorities after taking charge of the Premier League side.
Palacios had attracted interest from multiple clubs during the summer, including Cesc Fàbregas' side, but Arbeloa's desire to bring the young attacker to Fulham ultimately proved decisive.
According to reports from Spain, the Fulham manager urged the club's sporting department to complete the signing, with negotiations accelerating over the past few days before an agreement was reached.

Bernardo Silva has officially begun life as a Real Madrid player.
After completing his move from Manchester City earlier this summer, the Portuguese international took part in his first training session under José Mourinho on Monday before sitting down with Real Madrid TV to reflect on joining the Spanish giants, his excitement about working with Mourinho, and the opportunity to represent the club he considers the biggest in world football.
Silva admitted that wearing the Real Madrid crest is something special, describing his arrival as a dream come true.
"It's very special, and I'm very happy to be here. There's no need to talk about this club because its history speaks for itself. I'm very happy to start and try to help this team keep winning, which is what they know how to do: win, win, and win. I'm just one more person here to help and try to continue this winning streak for this spectacular club."
The 31-year-old reported for preseason after an extended break following Portugal's World Cup campaign and immediately experienced Mourinho's demanding training methods.

In October 2025, the internet absolutely erupted after Odell Beckham Jr. said a $100 million contract can't last forever, during an episode of The Pivot Podcast (1). Now, former NBA star and Hall of Famer Carmelo Anthony has decided to chime in with a similar take.
"That's $100 million, but it's not really $100 million over a five-year span," the Knicks legend said on the 7PM in Brooklyn (2) podcast, noting that fans were probably unaware of how brutal state and local taxes can be, especially in a city like New York.
"You're talking 58 percent to 60 percent or 48 percent, half your check," Anthony said. "So that 10 [million] goes to 5 [million] over five years. And within that five, you've got other taxes you gotta pay."

When you're on your second loan deal within a six-month span, you know things haven't exactly gone well for the club that bought you all of a year ago. But that is the reality for João Mário, whose move to Juventus wasn't all that popular to begin with and it certainly didn't improve with how little he played during his five months in Turin before the loan cycle began.
After returning to Juve following his loan spell at Bologna, the diminutive fullback/wingback is heading out on loan again, this time to Fiorentina, the two clubs announced on Monday. It is no surprise to see this happen considering João Mário was very much out of the project the minute he stepped back through the doors at Continassa, and there was old buddy Fabio Paratici to lend a helping hand to allow the 26-year-old summer signing a year ago to try and find more consistent football this coming season.
Fiorentina have an option to buy on top of paying the €1.8 million loan fee. If they are to take up said option, then La Viola would pay €9.5 million next summer and officially take another one of Damien Comolli's wonder-signings off Juventus' hands.
Turin, 03 August 2026 – Juventus Football Club S.p.A. announces that an agreement with ACF Fiorentina for the temporary disposal, until 30 June 2027, of the registration rights of the player Joao Mario Neto Lopes has been reached for a consideration of € 1.8 million, payable in a single financial year.
The agreement further envisages the right for Fiorentina to definitively acquire the player's registration rights for an additional consideration of € 9.5 million, payable in three financial years.

TONIGHT'S GAME: The first-place Houston Astros (58-55), winners of six straight, will open a three-game series with the Toronto Blue Jays (52-60 tonight at Daikin Park.
RHP Cristian Javier (1-1, 7.17 ERA) will get the start for the Astros opposite the RHP Shane Bieber (2-2, 5.74 ERA) and the Blue Jays.
ABOUT JAVIER: RHP Cristian Javier is making his fifth start of the season and his second since returning from the IL in early July. He's primarily pitched out of the bullpen since his return, making four relief appearances and a spot start. Javier earned tonight's start thanks to his last outing on July 27 at LAA, when he tossed 5.0 scoreless innings with seven strikeouts in relief.
WINNING WAYS: The Astros have won six straight games, which is their longest winning streak since they won eight straight from Aug. 6-14, 2024. The Astros have also won 11 of their last 12 games. The Astros are now three games over .500, their first time at that mark since being 6-3 following their ninth game of the season on April 4.
THE TURNAROUND: After a slow start to the season, the Astros are 38-24 since May 22, which ties as the best record in the AL in that span. On that date, the Astros were 20-31, 11 games under, which is their low water mark for the season.

The 2026 MLB trade deadline certainly didn't disappoint. Starting on Saturday night when Tarik Skubal joined the Dodgers, there was an avalanche of deals that spanned the final 48 hours. From a fantasy baseball perspective, the value of many players shifted over the past two days, which means that managers who react quickly can make substantial roster improvements.
Here are the details that every manager should know.
Tarik Skubal, SP, Dodgers: Although the value of Skubal couldn't go much higher, the needle is pointed up slightly by virtue of his membership on baseball's deepest roster. The Dodgers have outscored the Tigers by 67 runs this season, and the added offensive support could help Skubal secure an extra win or two down the stretch.
Freddy Peralta, SP, Rays: Fantasy managers who stubbornly held onto Peralta through four unproductive months (4.99 ERA, 1.48 WHIP) got the news they wished for when the right-hander was traded to one of the top organizations in terms of handling hurlers. The Rays' front office is well-aware that the right-hander's skills have declined — especially a strikeout rate that is 6.1% lower than last year — and surely has a plan to get him back on track. The guess here is that Peralta will be serviceable — and possibly better than that — over the final two months.
Kevin Gausman, SP, Cubs: Although Gausman is not a winner to the same degree as Peralta, he should enjoy the backing of an elite defensive group, and he will definitely have greater win potential while supported by a top-five offense rather than one that ranks last in runs scored. Of course, the greatest variable for Gausman will be his own effectiveness, as he went 0-7 with a 6.32 ERA over June and July before tossing six innings of one-run ball in his initial August start.

Jets' Geno Smith gets glimmer of hope in otherwise dismal No. 29 NFL QB rankings originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
Nobody expects the New York Jets to win a Super Bowl this season, not that fans would be mad if it happened, but the expectations are pretty realistic for the team this year. What are those expectations? Basically, Aaron Glenn and company are hoping for more wins than last season and maybe even a playoff run.
But, Jets quarterback Geno Smith has had a rough few seasons with other franchises, and that's not lost on NFL ****** ysts and experts. Bleacher Report has unleashed a new list ranking all of the NFL quarterbacks for 2026. In it, players are graded on six categories: accuracy (25 points), processing (20), arm talent, decision-making, pocket presence (15 apiece) and leadership (10).
Of course, ****** ody thought Smith would be ranked No. 1 on this list. But, he's in a pretty tough spot at No. 29. He's in the "functional performer" section.
"Geno Smith is coming off a disappointing season and a rough two-year stretch. He has turned the ball over at an alarming rate (32 INTs) in that span," Bleacher Report notes.

La Liga giants Barcelona are understood to have been joined in the hunt for a leading summer transfer target by Premier League heavyweights Manchester United.
This comes amid claims that the Red Devils have entered the race for the signature of Racing Santander talent Jorge Salinas.
Defender Salinas is for his part fresh off something of a breakout campaign in 2025/26. En route to Racing securing promotion back to the top-flight of Spanish football, the 19-year-old racked up 33 appearances, chipping in with six **** ists along the way.
Salinas chiefly takes to the pitch in a left-back berth, but is also more than capable of slotting into a central role at the heart of defence.
Considered one of the standout up-and-coming youngsters in his home country of Spain, the stopper has been linked with moves to a number of leading La Liga clubs this summer.

Barcelona have a major decision to make on Spanish forward Ferran Torres' future should he ask to leave the club this summer.
Ligue 1 champions PSG are interested in signing the 26-year-old and reuniting him with Luis Enrique, but Barça are so far not too keen to sell.
Ferran was asked about his future, and the Spaniard did not help ease nerves among the fans, leaving the door open to a potential exit.
Now, according to Catalunya Radio, Barcelona and Ferran Torres have entered a delicate waiting game over the forward's future, with neither side willing to make the first move before he returns to first-team duty.
There has been no direct contact so far between sporting director Deco and Ferran's representatives over either a renewal or a possible exit.

Barcelona star Ferran Torres has on Monday dropped something of a hint regarding his future. This comes courtesy of the revelation that he is yet to make a call on his plans for the season ahead, throwing his status as a Blaugrana player into doubt.
Frontman Ferran has of course taken his place centre stage in the headlines surrounding Barcelona for several weeks now.
Ahead of the expiration of his contract terms at the Spotify Camp Nou in 12 months' time, the 26-year-old has been identified as a leading transfer target on the part of European champions Paris Saint-Germain.
The last couple of days alone have seen a whole host of contrasting claims surface regarding Ferran's intentions, throwing his future ever further up in the air.
Speaking during an appearance on Spanish TV early this week, it therefore came as little surprise when the subject of his situation in Catalunya's capital was put to the former Manchester City man himself.

Peru has temporarily suspended the operations of sightseeing airline Aerodiana after one of its planes crashed in the country's Ica region on Saturday, killing 11 European tourists and two crew members.
Aerodiana, which flies customers over the Nazca Lines archaeological site in southern Peru, must suspend all operations "until investigations are completed to verify the company's compliance with the applicable aviation regulations, procedures and operating requirements," Peru's Ministry of Transportation and Communications said Sunday.
CNN has reached out to Aerodiana for comment.
The Peruvian government earlier said that the crew of the small sightseeing plane had reported a mechanical problem before radio contact was lost.

CEUTA, Spain, Aug 3 (Reuters) - Hundreds of migrants set up camp on a beach in Spain's North African enclave of Ceuta on Monday as local authorities struggled to cope with the thousands still in the tiny territory after a massive border rush last week.
Spain estimates ‌that about 69,500 migrants have returned to Morocco over the past four days, exceeding initial estimates of around 50,000 arrivals in Ceuta on ‌Thursday. The official death toll on the Spanish side of the border stands at 72, with 11 deaths on the Moroccan side.
Many said they left as shop closures had left them without food, they encountered hostility from locals and they were unable to travel on to the Spanish mainland.
Ceuta and Spain's other North African enclave, Melilla, sit on Morocco's Mediterranean coast and periodically face attempted crossings by migrants seeking to reach Europe.
Reuters video showed scores of migrants, most of them from sub-Saharan Africa, lying on the sand of El Trampolin beach. Many were wrapped in towels to shield from the wind, while army and police vehicles patrolled the road behind them.

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russian planes dropped eight powerful glide bombs in a span of 90 minutes on residential districts of the southern Ukrainian city of Zaporizhzhia, killing one person and wounding dozens of others, regional chief Ivan Fedorov said Monday.
Meanwhile, six people were killed by Ukrainian drone debris in Arkhipo-Osipovka, a small town on Russia's Black Sea coast in the Krasnodar region, regional governor Veniamin Kondratyev said, adding that 40 others were wounded.
Three other people were killed and two were wounded in Ukraine's overnight attack on the illegally annexed Crimea, said the peninsula's Russian-installed head, Sergei Aksyonov. He gave no details.
Neither side's claims could be independently verified.
Ukraine's innovative long-range drone technology developed during the war has enabled Kyiv to sign military cooperation agreements with nine countries, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Monday.

FC Barcelona are closely following the situation surrounding Rodri, with the club ready to act if the Manchester City midfielder's expected move to Real Madrid falls through, reports AS.
While Real Madrid remain the frontrunners to sign the Spanish international, the Blaugrana have positioned themselves to take advantage of any unexpected twist in negotiations involving the player, Manchester City and their domestic rivals.
Whether prompted by Frenkie de Jong's injury, Rodri's outstanding World Cup performances, or simply the opportunity to disrupt Real Madrid's plans, Barcelona have informed Manchester City that they want to be kept updated on the midfielder's contractual situation.
Rodri has less than one year remaining on his contract and has already expressed his desire to return to Spain after turning 30.

Newly crowned five-time Tour de France champion Tadej Pogacar will race in this month's Vuelta a Espana in an attempt to win all three of cycling's Grand Tours.
The Slovenian UAE Team Emirates-XRG rider will be the runaway favourite to win the three-week Grand Tour after becoming the joint most successful Tour de France champion of all time last month, alongside fellow greats Jacques Anquetil, Eddy Merckx, Bernard Hinault and Miguel Indurain.
Pogacar won the 2024 Giro d'Italia by nearly 10 minutes, and would become only the ninth rider to win all three Grand Tours in history should he triumph in Spain.
The 27-year-old finished third at the Tour of Spain as a youngster in 2019.
"I'm excited to say I'm going back to La Vuelta," said Pogacar. "It was my first ever Grand Tour back in 2019 and an amazing experience.

This is an exciting summer for Real Madrid as the Spanish team is going into the next season with significant changes in the team. While five new players have already been signed and some new signings are also expected in the coming weeks, the most notable change remains that of the head coach, as Jose Mourinho has taken over from Alvaro Arbeloa.
It was a similar feeling last year, when the Merengues had appointed Xabi Alonso to take over from Carlo Ancelotti. However, that experiment did not turn out to be very successful for Los Blancos, as the Spanish tactician lasted only half a season on the bench before he was dismissed in January, after the Spanish Super Cup final loss to Barcelona.
After spending the latter half of the last season without a job, Alonso joined the Premier League side Chelsea this summer, and is going to lead the Blues' next project. As Diario AS has reported, he appeared in an interview with The Athletic, and for the first time commented on his difficult time on the Real Madrid bench.
Personally, the former midfielder revealed that he had overcome the disappointment of his failure at Madrid:
"Fortunately, I don't have many scars in my career… Okay, I do have one scar, but it heals. Now that it has healed, I am very motivated and determined to enjoy this new chapter (at Chelsea) just as I did when I started at Madrid."

The Yankees have scouted outfielder Heliot Ramos "for more than two weeks," according to Sunday's report by the San Francisco Chronicle's Susan Slusser, with the outfielder among the San Francisco Giants' potential trade chips entering Monday's 6 p.m. deadline.
Slusser mentioned Ramos, 26, as a player "who could go via trade" with the Giants at 47-65 exiting this weekend.
The Philadelphia Phillies have also scouted Ramos in the same timespan as New York, according to Slusser.
While primarily playing left field, Ramos is slashing .264/.304/.424 with nine home runs and 34 RBI through 74 games this season.
He logged a career-high 157 games in 2025 and slashed .264/.304/.424 with 21 home runs and 69 RBI.

Sierra Kerr (AUS) and Jake Marshall (USA) claimed momentous breakthrough victories as the U.S. Open concluded a historic 9-day event in Surf City, USA.
HUNTINGTON BEACH — The 2026 edition of the U.S. Open of Surfing may go down as the best of all-time, which spans back to 1959. Stop No. 2 of the 2026-27 World Surf League (WSL) Challenger Series provided everything the Pacific Ocean could throw at the world's top contenders and elite long boarders. Hurricane Genevieve made its way north from Mexico and provided some of the best waves Huntington Beach had seen in years.
The men's final featured an all-Southern California matchup between Marshall, an Encinitas resident seeking his first Open crown, and Huntington Beach native Kanoa Igarashi, who entered the final looking to win the event for a third time.
Marshall secured his place in the championship heat with victories over Brazil's Gabriel Klaussner and San Clemente's Hayden Rodgers. Igarashi advanced by eliminating Peru's Lucca Mesinas and fellow SoCal resident, Griffin Colapinto.
With the **** le still undecided in the closing minutes, both finalists found opportunities on late waves. Marshall posted a decisive eight-point ride, forcing Igarashi to chase a 7.38 on his final attempt. The two-time champion was unable to find the required score, allowing Marshall to celebrate the biggest victory of his career in front of friends and family.

SANTIAGO, Chile (AP) — Vozinha, the 40-year-old goalkeeper who made history with Cape Verde at the recently concluded World Cup, arrived in Chile on Sunday to join Colo Colo after a series of twists and turns that put his move in doubt.
"I'm very happy to be here. And I want to thank the fans for the patience they've shown while waiting for me," the Cape Verde star told reporters in Chile. "See you at the Monumental Stadium." That is Colo Colo's home ground in Santiago.
Colo Colo, Chile's most successful soccer club, announced the signing of Josimar Évora Dias, better known as Vozinha, on July 24. However, a series of setbacks — including documentation issues and personal matters — delayed his arrival on three separate occasions, causing concern both within and outside the club.
At last, he arrived at Santiago's airport at 8:35 p.m. local time and was welcomed by a huge crowd of supporters who gathered at the terminal with flags, banners, drums, and chants.
Vozinha became the oldest player to appear in a national team's debut game at the World Cup and was widely celebrated for keeping eventual champion Span scoreless.

Paige Spiranac knows her golf outfits aren't for everyone.
The popular golf influencer and content creator, who has more than four million followers on social media, is constantly trending for what she decides to wear on the course. It's often fairly revealing.
But Spiranac, a former gymnast turned golfer, is just wearing what she feels is most comfortable out on the course.
"I was a gymnast before I switched into golf," Spiranac told Sports Illustrated. "I was so comfortable wearing spandex and very little of it because that's just what you wear when you're wearing a leotard and you're competing. When I switched into golf, we were struggling a little bit financially and so I didn't have the luxury to go out and buy a whole new golf-appropriate wardrobe. So, I wore what was in my closet, which was workout clothes. That's just how I learned to play the game.
She added, "That was always my mindset when I got into golf, and it really rubs people the wrong way which is shocking. They'll have really intense discussions over if they should wear shorts or pants or a blade collar or a real collar and I'm just out here just in tank tops or spandex and people are like 'What are you doing?' But I love it.

WASHINGTON — After nearly nine hours of intermittent heavy rain, thunder and lightning Sunday, the DC Open postponed its women's and men's finals until Monday.
Rain delayed the start of the women's final between the No. 1 seed American Jessica Pegula and rising star Alex Eala of the Philippines by three hours Sunday. Pegula won the first set, 6-4, in smothering humidity and Eala led 2-1 in the second before the rain came again and the tournament suspended play just before 4 p.m.
Pegula and Eala will resume their match at noon Monday. The men's final between No. 3 seed Taylor Fritz of the United States and the young Spaniard Rafael Jodar will follow.
The tournament announced the postponements at 9:06 p.m. to a hearty few members of the crowd who were still hanging out on the grounds.
The prospect of a Monday final is slightly complicated for the DC Open, which, as a late-summer tournament held in the mid-Atlantic, deals with weather delays nearly every year. But summer storms rarely affect the final in Washington, and extending the tournament by a day puts players in a slight time crunch as the next event on most players' calendars — the National Bank Open, which hosts its men's event in Montreal this year and women's event in Toronto — already started Sunday.

World number three Jessica Pegula and rising star Alexandra Eala must wait until Monday to decide a Washington Open champion after thunderstorms postponed the completion of Sunday's WTA final.
After waiting through a three-hour thunderstorm delay to start, Pegula won the first set 6-4 and Eala led 2-1 in the second set of the championship match when rain returned.
More than five hours passed with conditions remaining unplayable before organizers called off the resumption of play until Monday.
Also postponed was the entire men's final at the WTA and ATP 500-level hardcourt tournament, with 10th-ranked American Taylor Fritz set to face 19-year-old Spaniard Rafael Jodar.
The women's final will resume Monday at noon local time (1600 GMT) with the men's final not before 1 p.m. in Washington.

Liam Payne's behavior reportedly grew increasingly erratic during the final hours of his life, with newly obtained witness statements offering one of the most detailed accounts yet of what unfolded before his fatal fall. Two women who spent several hours with the former One Direction singer on October 16, 2024, described the condition of his Buenos Aires hotel room, his alleged substance use, and the troubling escalation they witnessed before leaving shortly before 4 p.m. Payne died just 67 minutes later after falling from the balcony of his third-floor room at the CasaSur Palermo Hotel. He was 31.
Bruno Marzi / MEGA
According to sworn statements obtained by the Daily Mail, Aldana Serrano and Lucila Goitea arrived at the CasaSur Palermo at approximately 11:30 a.m. after Payne allegedly contacted Serrano through an escort website. Serrano initially questioned whether she was actually communicating with the world-famous singer and reportedly asked him to prove his identity.
"Liam contacted me via WhatsApp today (October 16, 2024) around 11 am. The whole time he spoke to me in English. He told me who he was and he sent me a video of him. The video wasn't current; it was him singing," she told investigators. "He also sent me pictures of him which he took while he was in bed, before we got there."
The hotel reportedly collected the women's identification before allowing them to enter room 310, enabling authorities to locate them quickly following Payne's death. "He was alone in his room. He greeted us warmly and I asked him for payment. We tried to communicate, but it was difficult because he only spoke English and I only Spanish," Serrano recalled.

Daniel Fernando García Velázquez took the admissions exam for Mexico's most famous university four times before finally getting the result that should have guaranteed him admission.
On his first three attempts, he had no option other than to travel the 400 km (250 miles) from his native Veracruz to Mexico City to take the test, because the prestigious National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) insisted it had to be taken in person.
On his fourth – and what should have been victorious – attempt this June, he traveled up anyway, even though this time, for the first time in the university's history, it would be administered online.
This time, Velázquez aced the exam – scoring 94 out of 120 in what should have secured him a spot on the Communication and Journalism degree program offered at UNAM's Aragón School of Higher Studies.

Barcelona faced Birmingham City in a pre-season game that ended in a 2-2 draw, with the Catalan club losing on penalties.
Hansi Flick was without most of his first-team and had to rely on youth to make up most of his team, and many youngsters caught the eye with their performances.
Among them was Alvaro Cortes, who replaced Gerard Martin for the second half of the game and did not put a foot wrong.
The Spaniard was handed his debut by Hansi Flick at the end of last season against Alaves, and it looks like he is ready for the first team.
