    England

    - Manchester City midfielder Stephen Ireland has been given the all clear after being rushed to hospital following his side's 2-1 extra-time win over Fulham in the Carling Cup. The 23-year-old was substituted in the 75th minute of the match at Eastlands after complaining of dizziness and feeling unwell. The club's medical staff were unable to diagnose the problem and Ireland was taken to hospital to undergo tests.

    - A powerful strike from youngster Danny Welbeck gave defending champions Manchester United a 1-0 victory over Wolves in the third round of the Carling Cup and manager Sir Alex Ferguson has vowed to continue to give his fringe players a chance to impress in the competition. United won the Carling Cup last season with a squad based on youngsters and Ferguson, who has a history of blooding players in the knock-out tournament, sees no reason why the Red Devils should abandon that philosophy this term. "It does excite me that I can give the young lads a chance in this competition," said Ferguson. "It is the only thing we can do. It is good for them to get the experience of playing at Old Trafford. It is a good breeding ground for young players."

    - Bolton Wanderers midfielder Sean Davis could be ruled out for the rest of the season after undergoing surgery on a serious knee injury.

    - Newcastle United could be forced into administration if former boss Kevin Keegan wins a massive compensation pay-out. Owner Mike Ashley is expected to know by Friday how much money, if any, the club owes its former manager as he waits to hear from a Premier League independent arbitration panel on Keegan's constructive dismissal claim. Should the outcome cause Ashley to choose administration, the Magpies would lose 10 Championship points, a penalty which would undermine their efforts to drag themselves back into the Premier League at the first attempt.

    - Aston Villa's in-form midfielder Steve Sidwell is a doubt for Saturday's Premier League clash at Blackburn Rovers after suffering a thigh problem, while Ashley Young and Emile Heskey should recover in time to play.

    - Burnley striker Martin Paterson has been ruled up to for three months after undergoing knee surgery.

    - Stoke City strikers Ricardo Fuller and James Beattie are both doubtful for the Premier League match against Manchester United at the Britannia Stadium on Saturday.

    Italy

    - Sampdoria's Antonio Cassano, snubbed by Inter Milan when they were searching for a playmaker, has the perfect chance to show the champions they were wrong when the sides clash on Saturday. Cassano has matured into the standout player in Serie A so far this season, helping Samp win their opening four games of a top-flight season for the first time. Cassano joked before the season the only two people who did not want him were Inter coach Jose Mourinho and Italy boss Marcello Lippi, who continually overlooks the ex-Real Madrid man despite constant media calls for his inclusion.

    - Coach Leonardo said he was reasonably happy with the performance in Wednesday's 1-0 defeat by Udinese and Ronaldinho's bright display as a second-half substitute could put him in line for a start at home to Bari on Sunday .

    - Napoli coach Roberto Donadoni needs a win at home to Siena after four points from the first five games has led to speculation about his future.

    Spain

    - Cristiano Ronaldo is already making history at Real Madrid after becoming the first player to score in his four league games for the club.

    - Los Blancos striker Raul also made history on Wednesday night when he set a new record for league appearances for Real, overtaking defender Manolo Sanchis, when he came on as a substitute.

    Germany

    - Bayern Munich striker Mario Gomez, the Bundesliga's most expensive ever purchase, is already feeling insecure at his new club. "I have enough confidence from my home but when you are at a new club and you play the first six matches, you score goals and then you are taken off, you start wondering why?" he told reporters. After scoring Bayern's second just before halftime against Oberhausen in their 5-0 win, Gomez was taken off to make way for Italian striker Luca Toni, returning after months out following a heel injury. "I was brought in to get goals. Being substituted makes he insecure," he said.

    I think that is what made it even worse, if possible.
