He also wanted to win over the fans with: "I am one of you. I have been since I arrived in 2010."

Despite having arrived a few days ago and with all the buzz around his possible move to Barcelona, 'Cholo' Simeone has decided not to include Julián Álvarez in the squad against Málaga.

Diego Pablo is expected to field an unusual starting XI, but also to leave out Julián, who will not be called up until he is fully fit, according to 'El País'.

Just a few days after collapsing in a friendly against RB Leipzig, the same thing happened again to Jamal Musiala just a few minutes after coming on against Heidenheim in another friendly.

The player was able to walk off under his own power, but it was a major scare.

At first, after the incident against Leipzig, doctors said it had all been caused by heatstroke, but Jamal explained this latest episode on social media: "I have been diagnosed with brief temporary fainting spells caused by a neurological dysfunction."

The bleeding of federations withdrawing their support for Gianni Infantino as FIFA president continues.

The latest to do so is Israel, which has withdrawn its backing. It was not so widely expected given that it is a major ally of the United States and because of the good Trump-Infantino relationship, but it is another blow for the Swiss official.
