The collision occurred in the third period of the Maple Leafs' 5-2 win over the Flyers on Saturday night. It appeared to be a relatively harmless play at first, but it quickly became evident that Tanev would need assistance getting off the ice. There was also a little extra caution involved given the fact that it was Tanev's first game back following a similar injury a couple of weeks ago, when he took a shoulder to the jaw from New Jersey Devils forward Dawson Mercer.

Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards will miss two weeks with a right hamstring strain, sources told ESPN's Shams Charania.

Oklahoma City Thunder All-NBA wing Jalen Williams underwent a follow-up procedure on his surgically repaired right wrist to remove a screw that was creating irritation during the final stages of his return-to-play process, the team announced Friday. He will be reevaluated in 10 to 14 days. The procedure was performed by Dr. Steven Shin at Cedars-Sinai Health in Los Angeles with Thunder medical personnel present.

Laughton has had rotten luck since being acquired by the Leafs from the Philadelphia Flyers at last season's trade deadline. The 31-year-old forward was not able to adjust to coming back to his hometown and just before training camp a couple months ago, he had to explain why his time in Toronto has gone so poorly so far. With hope that he could turn it around and really be a stabilizing force down in the Leafs' bottom six, there was general optimism heading into the season.

KaVontae Turpin feels completely healthy for return this Sunday

The Ecuadorian returned from the international break with a knock, but his condition appears to be less serious than expected. Back at Milanello, the South American continued treatment on his left ankle, which was necessary for the aftermath of the sprain he suffered against the United States. He also completed some on-field work, but this does not guarantee his presence on Sunday.

Yes. We try to protect Cole as much as we can. It is important when he comes back he is fully fit. The medical staff are not magicians. You need six weeks and we hope six week will be enough. A problem we need to see step by step, week by week. He looks very good. Relaxed. Trying to recover.

Oct 17, 2025, 04:59 AM ET Chelsea forward Cole Palmer will be ruled out for "six more weeks" with a groin injury, manager Enzo Maresca said on Friday.

I think the reaction after the 20 minutes playing [against Ecuador], I think was good,

"I got a little bit in the first half, but I finished the match, so I think everything is fine, there shouldn't be a problem," he told TVP Sport

Heaven playing out the rest of the first half may offer some encouragement that the issue is not severe, with Futcher confirming after the match that the 19-year-old had picked something up but that he didn't think it was too serious. However, the England U20s boss added that the team will have to see how it settles down, suggesting the extend of the problem is not yet known.

England hope their record goalscorer will be fit to face Latvia in a World Cup qualifier next Tuesday. Manager Thomas Tuchel said: "Harry will miss the game, he got a kick in his last match and it is too painful to kick the ball and too risky for him. We give him the chance for it calm down and we are convinced he will be ready for Latvia."

In a massive boost for Liverpool, who welcome Manchester United to Anfield after the international break, Konate joined up with the French national team on Monday at Clairefontaine, where he was scheduled to undergo further tests. Meanwhile, amid reports the defender's injury is not a major concern ahead of World Cup qualifiers against Azerbaijan and Iceland, head coach Didier Deschamps has revealed all 23-man selected are fit.

Los Angeles made two changes to the roster that swept the Reds in two games during the wild card round. Kershaw and Banda join the fray in place of left-hander Justin Wrobleski and right-hander Edgardo Henriquez. There was no doubt Kershaw would be returning to action after sitting out the Reds series, though in his final postseason appearance, Kershaw is slated to pitch in a relief capacity rather than in a starter's role.

North Carolina coach Bill Belichick is turning to senior quarterback Max Johnson to start Saturday's game against Clemson, a source told ESPN. Gio Lopez, who opened the season as the Tar Heels starter, is a game-time decision because of a lower body injury, but if he is available, he will serve as Johnson's backup, the source said. Johnson replaced the injured Lopez two weeks ago during a 34-9 loss to UCF.

Slot will be without Liverpool's first-choice goalkeeper Alisson Becker, with the Dutch tactician saying he'd be surprised to have him back and available again immediately after the upcoming international break Arne Slot says he will be surprised if Alisson is fit for Liverpool immediately after the international break. Hugo Ekitike and Federico Chiesa will train today ahead of Chelsea game. paul joyce (@_pauljoyce) October 3, 2025

City is boosted by the return of top-scorer Alonso Martinez, who has scored three game-winners in the team's three most recent away fixtures. The Costa Rican was ruled out of last week's Hudson River Derby due to a quad injury, and his minutes will be managed. The medical team has worked 24/7 in order to get him ready again, head coach Pascal Jansen revealed to amNewYork.

"It happened last game early and just ended up not going away by the end," Lee said. "I woke up with some discomfort, so it's just maintenance. It's progressing fine, nothing to worry about. Hopefully I can take that red thing off for the next practice."

We hope so. It looks like he's going to be out for a few weeks. We don't know yet, we're probably going to have to scan him next week again. He felt something at the beginning of the match, he tried to carry on, and at half-time, he was too sore, so let's see. He was gutted, obviously. Very disappointing to see because he was in such a good state. He looked like a real threat; he was getting some consistency, some flow into the team and he looked like a real threat, so it's a big miss for us.
