Barcelona have signed Wojciech Szczesny as a free agent, the LaLiga club said on Wednesday after the Polish goalkeeper reversed his decision to retire and come to the team's aid after they lost Marc-Andre ter Stegen to a long-term injury.

German keeper Ter Stegen underwent surgery after suffering a rupture of the patella tendon in his right knee over the weekend and is expected to miss the rest of the season.

Inaki Pena, 25, is expected to cover for Ter Stegen but Barca have now reinforced their squad with Szczesny, who had announced his retirement last month after terminating his contract with Serie A side Juventus.

The 34-year-old former Poland international had one more year left on his contract at Juve, where he had replaced Italy great Gianluigi Buffon in goal.

Szczesny won the league and domestic cup three times each in more than 250 appearances for Juve but lost his place to close-season recruit Michele Di Gregorio.

Barcelona are at top of the LaLiga standings with 21 points from eight games, and Hansi Flick's side next visit Deportivo Alaves on Sunday.

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag is confident of his team’s revival of fortunes after the club’s recent setbacks in the Premier League and Europa League. Speaking on Wednesday (Oct 2), the Red Devils boss backed his team to bounce back as they prepare to face Porto in the Europa League. Questions have been raised about ten Hag’s future after they lost 3-0 to Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League.

<h2>Eric ten Hag backs Man United for revival</h2>

"We are going to make a success from the season," he&nbsp;told Sky Sports.

"Nothing is easy, but this is nothing for me to panic about," he added. "We can sort [the problems] out, this team can sort this out."

"We created a togetherness in the summer with the ownership and the leadership. We made this agreement, and we were all behind it. We know the strategy [is to bring in] young players in a transition period. They also know in May in all my last six seasons there were always trophies and that is what we are aiming for."

So far this season, United have lost three matches in the Premier League, having collected only seven points in six matches. Two of the three defeats have come at Old Trafford, highlighting further issues in the team’s fortunes.

<h2>Make or break for Ten Hag</h2>

United will face Porto away in the Europa League, while their next Premier League game is against Aston Villa. Wins in those matches should see the Dutchman ease some pressure on him, however, defeats in those matches could be the beginning of the end for him. According to him, the Manchester United board have backed him despite the poor run of form but things could change in case they fail to win the upcoming fixtures.

The dust is yet to settle on the heartbreaking disqualification that Indian wrestler Vinesh Phogat suffered at the Paris Olympics in August. In a shocking revelation on Wednesday (Oct 2), amid the Haryana Assembly election campaign, Phogat revealed that she had refused to speak to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. She also confessed that it was an indirect call from the Indian officials on terms that the conversation would be recorded.

<h2>Phogat makes shocking revelation</h2>

“The call had come (from the PM) but I refused to speak. The call did not come directly to me but Indian officials who were there informed me that he (PM Modi) wanted to talk. I was ready. However, they put conditions — no one from my team would be present, while two people from their side would record the conversation for social media,” she said in an interview with The Lallantop.

Phogat was controversially disqualified during the Paris Olympics in the 50 kg women’s category after being found overweight by 100 gm&nbsp;on the day of the final. The Indian wrestler had qualified for the gold medal match and would have scripted history had she won the big prize. However, her disqualification on August 11 came as a big blow to the nation’s hopes as India failed to win a single gold medal.

The 29-year-old then announced her decision to retire from the sport while an appeal was pending at the Court of Arbitration for Sports (CAS). The appeal was later rejected with Phogat returning empty-handed. It was during this period that Phogat refused to speak to PM Modi and showed her discontent having been at the centre of the wrestler’s protest in 2023.

<h2>Vinesh enters new ring of contest</h2>

Immediately after retiring from wrestling, Phogat was approached by the Indian National Congress (INC), the biggest opposition party in India, to contest the upcoming Assembly elections in the state of Haryana. She has been nominated from the Julana seat and will contest against Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP, India’s main ruling party) candidate Yogesh Bairagi, a former commercial pilot.

South Africa have finally green light&nbsp;the&nbsp;two-Test match series against Bangladesh after they announced their squad on Monday (Sep 30). The Proteas initially had put the tour on hold with unrest in Bangladesh, however, after security assurances were given, South Africa&nbsp;are now set to complete the tour. The 15-man squad will be led by Temba Bavuma while Senuran Muthusamy is one of three spinners included in the side.

<h2>South Africa to tour Bangladesh</h2>

With World Test Championship (WTC) points up for grabs it was vital for the Porteas to play in the series despite having raised concerns about travel. Recently, the International Cricket Council (ICC) decided to pull the plug and award UAE the hosting rights for the Women’s T20 World Cup with unrest in the nation after former PM Sheikh Hasina was ousted.

The decision was taken following a security assessment by a South African delegation in the country -- more than 200 people died in political protests in Bangladesh earlier this year.

Left-arm spinner Senuran Muthusamy was recalled to the squad for the first time since March 2023. He will join fellow left-armer Keshav Maharaj and off-spinner Dane Piedt.

Only three specialist seam bowlers -– Kagiso Rabada, Nandre Burger and Dane Paterson -– were selected, along with seam bowling all-rounder Wiaan Mulder.

"Bangladesh is always a tough place to tour," South Africa Test head coach Shukri Conrad said. "They’ve become a formidable side at home and we have to be prepared for the challenge that awaits us.&nbsp;

"We have three frontline spinners and all of them have the ability to step up at any time they are needed. This is a great chance for someone like Senuran, who has the potential to make a mark with both bat and ball," Conrad added.

Indian football side Mohun Bagan SG has decided against traveling to Iran for their AFC Champions League 2 clash against Tractor FC. The clash set to take place on Wednesday (Oct 2) will either be postponed or the Iranian side will be awarded all three points as the AFC (Asian Football Confederation) now has a decision to make.

<h2>Mohun Bagan avoid traveling to Iran</h2>

It is learnt&nbsp;that the Indian side wants to avoid travelling to Iran as the country is&nbsp;experiencing high tension due to a war-like situation with Israel. They are also currently observing a five-day state of mourning following the death of a prominent general in its paramilitary Revolutionary Guard.

"Our 35 registered players, including seven foreigners, wrote to a club that they don't want to go to Iran now. So we tagged their letters and wrote to the AFC, asking them to either reschedule the match or move the game to a neutral venue," a Mohun Bagan source told PTI on Monday from Kolkata.

"We have decided to not travel to Iran keeping our players' safety and security in mind, because that is paramount. We have also written to the Ministry of External Affairs as their advisory states that you can go to Iran or Israel on your own responsibility," the source added.

According to the earlier plan, the Kolkata-based giants were set to travel to Iran from Bengaluru after their Indian Super League (ISL) clash against Bengaluru FC. However, with tensions rising high in the region several players raised safety issues and wanted to avoid traveling.

As things stand, AFC is yet to comment on the issue and will have a huge call to make in the coming days. With fixture congestion and a lack of slots to adjust the fixtures, it will be interesting to see how AFC deals with the matter. In case the fixture is postponed, it could take place in December at the end of the group stage. However, if the AFC turns down Mohun Bagan’s appeal for a postponement, Tractor FC could be awarded all three points.

Pete Rose, Major League Baseball's all-time hit king who left the sport in disgrace after being banned for betting on games, died Monday aged 83, multiple US media outlets reported.

Nicknamed "Charlie Hustle" for his hard-charging effort and dogged determination, the long-time hometown hero for the Cincinnati Reds passed away in Las Vegas, reports said.

Rose set MLB career records with 4,256 hits, 15,890 appearances at the plate, 3,562 games played and 3,215 singles.

His most celebrated feat came on September 11, 1985 when he singled to left field off San Diego pitcher Eric Snow in Cincinnati for his 4,192nd career hit, breaking the prior all-time MLB hit mark held by Ty Cobb, who played from 1905 to 1928.

Over his 24-season career, Rose captured three World Series titles, in 1975 and 1976 with the Reds and in 1980 with the Philadelphia Phillies.

Rose was a 17-time All-Star over his career at a record five different positions -- left and right fielder plus first, second and third baseman.

He won the season batting titles in 1968, 1969 and 1973, when he also claimed the National League Most Valuable Player award. Ten years earlier, Rose had been named the NL Rookie of the Year.

After a brief stint with the Montreal Expos in 1984, Rose was traded back to the Reds and made player-manager, a dual role he kept through the 1986 campaign before retiring as a player and guiding the club for three final seasons until 1989, when details of his gambling on MLB games emerged.

Rose denied the allegations. But only three days after Bart Giamatti took over as MLB commissioner in April 1989, the new boss named attorney John Dowd to investigate the matter.&nbsp;

The following month, Dowd documented betting activity by Rose in 1985 and 1986 and produced a day-by-day gambling account for 1987 that included Rose betting on 52 Reds games in which he served as the team's manager.

On August 24, 1989, Rose was placed on MLB's permanently ineligible list and Giamatti announced his ban. Eight days later, Giamatti died of a heart attack.

Bournemouth's record signing Evanilson scored his first goal for the club as the Cherries beat Southampton 3-1 on Monday.

The Brazilian international sparked a three-goal blitz from the home side in the opening 39 minutes as Dango Ouattara and Antoine Semenyo also struck.

Taylor Harwood-Bellis pulled a goal back for Saints early in the second half, but they remain in the bottom three and without a win since their return to the Premier League.

Bournemouth climb above Manchester United into 11th with their second win of the campaign.

Evanilson has big shoes to fill as the replacement for Dominic Solanke, who departed to Tottenham for a club record fee last month.

The £40 million striker did not get off to a good start as he missed a penalty in a 1-0 defeat to Chelsea in Bournemouth's last home game.

However, he banished those memories by latching onto Marcus Tavernier's quickly taken free-kick on 17 minutes.

"It is a goal we've been expecting of Evanilson," said Bournemouth assistant manager Tommy Elphick, who was deputising for suspended boss Andoni Iraola.

"He is so intelligent and makes such cute runs. We haven't been finding him enough so I'm pleased for him."

Ouattara was then in the right place to deflect Lewis Cook's shot past Aaron Ramsdale.

Semenyo has so far filled the void left by Solanke and his fierce drive found the bottom corner for his third goal in six Premier League appearances this season.

It was a familiar tale for Southampton as their dominance of possession counted for little in terms of points.

Russell Martin's men sit second bottom with just one point from their opening six games.

"I am so hurt by the first-half performance after the first goal. I didn't recognise our team," said Martin.

"There was no aggression or courage. They were looking around and in self-preservation mode on the pitch. I didn’t like it one bit. They showed fight in the second half, but it was too late."

Last season all three promoted sides were relegated from the Premier League for the first time since 1997/98.

The early evidence of this season also suggests the gulf between the Championship and the top tier is becoming increasingly difficult to breach for teams coming up.

Ipswich and Leicester have also failed to register a win in their opening six league matches but do at least sit outside the bottom three.

Bournemouth's record signing Evanilson scored his first goal for the club as the Cherries beat Southampton 3-1 on Monday. The Brazilian international sparked a three-goal blitz from the home side in the opening 39 minutes as Dango Ouattara and Antoine Semenyo also struck.
