4.2.26 Premier League: Arsenal Injuries

Arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta has given an update on the fitness of Bukayo Saka and Mikel Merino ahead of Saturday's Premier League match against Sunderland. Saka, who picked up a problem during the warm-up before the win over Leeds, is being monitored but the issue is not believed to be serious, with a late decision set to be made on his availability. More concerning is Merino's situation, as the midfielder is set to undergo surgery on a rare foot injury sustained against Manchester United, which Arteta described as a significant blow.

4.2.26 La Liga: Real Madrid Injuries

Real Madrid could welcome a major defensive reinforcement ahead of their league visit to Valencia, with Antonio Rudiger, Trent Alexander-Arnold, and Ferland Mendy all expected to be available. Rudiger's return is particularly significant with Eder Militao sidelined, while Mendy would add much-needed defensive balance on the left. Alexander-Arnold, who has been easing back into training after injury setbacks, is also pushing for minutes.

4.2.26 Bundesliga: Bayern Injuries

Bayern Munich were briefly alarmed after Josip Stanisic picked up a knock in training following an accidental challenge from teammate Jonathan Tah, which caused pain in his knee and forced him off the pitch. Initial reports later suggested the injury was not serious. In more positive news, Raphael Guerreiro has returned to full team training and is expected to be available against Hoffenheim, while Konrad Laimer continues to train individually and is unlikely to feature.

4.2.26 Turkish Super League: Besiktas Transfers

Besiktas have completed the signing of 23-year-old Beninese forward Junior Olaitan from Goztepe on a 3.5-year contract with a one-year option. The move adds to Besiktas's recent transfer activity following the arrivals of Yasin Ozcan in defense and Kristjan Asllani in midfield. Olaitan made 17 Super League appearances for Goztepe this season, scoring two goals, and is expected to strengthen Besiktas's attacking options moving forward.

3.2.26 Premier League: Crystal Palace Injuries

Jean-Philippe Mateta's proposed move to AC Milan has fallen through after medical tests raised serious concerns over his fitness. Despite a verbal agreement between the clubs and the Crystal Palace striker's willingness to join, further examinations revealed he requires knee surgery. Mateta is now expected to be sidelined for three to four months, putting his World Cup hopes in jeopardy.

3.2.26 Premier League: Wolves Transfers

Wolves strengthened their squad on Deadline Day by signing striker Adam Armstrong from Southampton for an initial £7m on a three-and-a-half-year deal and bringing midfielder Angel Gomes to Molineux on loan from Marseille with an option to buy.

4.2.26 NBA: Los Angeles Clippers Transfers

The LA Clippers traded James Harden to the Cleveland Cavaliers for Darius Garland and a second-round pick, a deal shaped by Harden's contract leverage and mutual interest in a clean, respectful split. Harden, 36, joins a 30-21 Cavaliers team alongside Donovan Mitchell in pursuit of his first championship, while the Clippers pivot toward the future with 26-year-old Garland. The move boosts Cleveland's title outlook in the East and gives Los Angeles a younger cornerstone as it balances competitiveness with long-term flexibility.

3.2.26 NBA: Golden State Warriors Injuries

Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry will sit out Tuesday night's game against the Philadelphia 76ers due to persistent right knee pain, officially diagnosed as patellofemoral pain syndrome. The issue, which began after a workout in late January, forced Curry out of Friday's loss to Detroit and has left him listed as day-to-day. The Warriors will also be without Jonathan Kuminga for a fifth straight game as he continues to recover from a bone bruise in his left knee.

1.2.26 NHL: Pittsburgh Penguins Injuries

Pittsburgh Penguins defenseman Kris Letang will miss at least four weeks after breaking his foot during a 6-2 win over the Chicago Blackhawks on Thursday, head coach Dan Muse said Saturday. The 38-year-old, in his 20th NHL season, has three goals and 22 assists in 50 games this year. Center Evgeni Malkin also missed practice Friday for undisclosed reasons after recently returning from a shoulder injury. Letang and Malkin rank second and third in career games played for the Penguins, trailing only Sidney Crosby.
