The Covid 19 pandemic has caused to suspend all the football activity in Europe and now the clubs are to worry about pay cuts. Neil Lennon in recent review commented that they will be facing pay cuts due to stoppage of football leagues. They were to be crowned with the ninth Scottish premier title in succession but their celebrations have been lost due to the suspension of football in Europe.

Former Premier League goalkeeper Paul Robinson has hailed the performances of Raul Jimenez since his move to Wolverhampton Wanderers. The Mexico international made the switch to the West Midlands outfit shortly after their promotion to the top-flight and he has since been a revelation for them and has contributed 28 goals and 16 assists in the Premier League and Europa League games.

LA Galaxy midfielder Jonathan dos Santos has confirmed that compatriot Carlos Vela has an offer on the table from Barcelona ahead of the winter transfer window. The Mexico international has been a revelation since making the move to Los Angeles FC from Real Sociedad last year and he most recently broke the scoring record for a single season with 34 goals.

Carlos Vela has had on and off history with the Mexican national team. This seems to continue even today, as the 30-year-old confirmed that he has entirely given up on his international career. After having just picked up the MLS MVP award, the former Arsenal forward opened the doors towards a potential return to the Mexican national team. At 30 years of age, he is incredibly experienced and he has been able to play football in several parts of the world. Yet, Vela has stated his desire to retain at LAFC where he has had a major impact since making the switch from Real Sociedad in 2018.

Carlos Vela proved that he is the greatest scorer in the MLS after managing to set a new record of goals in a single campaign. LAFC managed to beat Colorado Rapids 3-1 at the Banc of California Stadium. The game witnessed the club and player both registering even further in record books. LAFC were able to finish the campaign with 72 points, which is one more than their previousrecord. The team has also been able to finish the regular season with a 48+ goal difference, which is also the best. The three goals scored against Colorado Rapids make it 85 for the campaign and it equals the MLS record.

BBC pundit Garth Crooks has said that Raul Jimenez looked a tired player during the recent Premier League clash against Chelsea. The west Midlands outfit went winless for the fifth game on the bounce at the weekend after they suffered a 5-2 thrashing at the hands of the Blues.

Wolverhampton Wanderers manager Nuno has said that Raul Jimenez has suffered a minor knock on his foot and he would be assessed ahead of the forthcoming round of fixtures. The Mexican returned to the fold for the Europa League second round qualifying game against Crusaders but he found himself substituted during the early stages of the second period.

LAFC suffered more disappointment without Carlos Vela in the team, as Minnesota United were able to get a 2-0 victory at the Banc of California stadium. This is the second consecutive game in which LAFC have been unable to win. This places a lot of pressure on the team ahead of the game with Orlando City considering that many of the first-team players will be unavailable due to international action. The breakthrough for Minnesota came after just 25 minutes when Mason Toye was able to score the opener and he was able to double the lead just four minutes later.

The absence of goals from LAFC was quite a surprise considering that this first time that the club has failed to score in a league match since the end of June, when they drew a blank against Colorado Rapids. Carlos Vela has been the crucial player for LAFC this season and he has scored 27 goals in just 26 appearances. However, he is in danger of missing out on Josef Martinez’ incredible MLS record. Martinez holds the record of 31 goals in a single season set last season. Vela still needs five goals to hit the tally and there are only five matches left in the campaign.

Wolverhampton Wanderers manager Nuno has said that Raul Jimenez has suffered a minor knock on his foot and he would be assessed ahead of the forthcoming round of fixtures. The Mexican returned to the fold for the Europa League second round qualifying game against Crusaders but he found himself substituted during the early stages of the second period.

Speaking to reporters, Nuno acknowledged that the injury may have resulted from an extended period away from the action. He added that the concern will be assessed with the Premier League season starting in just over a week’s time, he said: “He didn’t have too much time without (playing). We have to be careful to manage the right moments for him to get back in shape and get the full fitness we want. Let’s see (how he is), it was his foot, let’s see how it is.”

Mexico head coach Tata Martino has said that El Tri have plenty of room for improvement despite being the United States to the Gold Cup crown. El Tri won the final by virtue of a second-half goal from Jonathan dos Santos and that ensured that they secured their eighth continental title and the first under Martino.

Speaking after the game, Martino said that El Tri have not reached their full potential but are going on the right path, he told: “We still not there, we need more time together, more time working and training, but we're on the right path. Nothing would've changed that with the final result. A bad result wouldn't have changed that either."
