10.5.26 Premier League: Manchester United

Manchester United have officially avoided triggering a contract extension for Casemiro after the midfielder missed Saturday's 0-0 draw at Sunderland with injury. The 34-year-old's deal included a clause that would have added a year if he started 35 Premier League games this season, but both parties agreed in January it would not be activated. Casemiro, who has been influential under interim coach Michael Carrick, is set to leave United this summer despite his strong performances.

10.5.26 Premier League: Manchester City Injuries

Manchester City midfielder Rodri's injury is reportedly more serious than first expected, raising concerns about their Premier League title challenge against leaders Arsenal. The Spain international missed the Brentford clash, with City's record notably poor without him.

9.5.26 Premier League: Manchester United Injuries

Manchester United head coach Michael Carrick revealed that striker Benjamin Sesko is a doubt for the upcoming Premier League clash with Sunderland due to a shin issue.

Despite missing OG Anunoby, New York's defense and bench outperformed Philadelphia, whose reserves managed just 11 points. Paul George scored 15 in the first quarter but went scoreless the rest of the way, while the Knicks capitalized on Embiid's limited mobility.

Starter Scott Wedgewood was pulled early in the second period after allowing three goals on 12 shots, replaced by Mackenzie Blackwood, who stopped 12 of 13 shots in relief. Coach Jared Bednar said the team will evaluate who starts Game 4, noting Blackwood's solid performance. Wedgewood had been stellar in the regular season, leading the NHL in goals-against average and save percentage, but has shown inconsistency in the playoffs.

8.5.26 NHL: Dallas Stars Injuries

Dallas Stars forward Mikko Rantanen played through a torn MCL suffered during the Olympics, limiting his effectiveness after returning from a 15-game absence. He managed only three goals and 12 assists in the final stretch and first-round playoff loss to Minnesota, far below his pre-injury pace of 20 goals and 49 assists in 54 games.
