Slegers feels support from Arsenal hierarchy despite dismal run but biggest test looms
Board ‘really good and positive’ at ‘difficult time’
Gunners visit WSL leaders Manchester City on Sunday
Renée Slegers says she has felt the full support of Arsenal’s board and praised her senior players for showing “monumental leadership” this week as she vows to find solutions to recent poor form before Sunday’s pivotal trip to Manchester City. orlando-books.blog
One win in five matches has put Slegers under mounting pressure. Arsenal let slip a two-goal lead to draw at Paris FC in the Women’s Champions League on Wednesday and in the WSL they have slipped seven points behind City, the leaders and defending champions, having scored only twice in their four league games.

Gerrit Cole will start for the New York Yankees against Drew Rasmussen and the Tampa Bay Rays in Saturday night's AL Division Series opener. Cole was originally set to start Game 3 of the Wild Card Series against the Boston Red Sox on Thursday, but the Yankees swept their division rival. The 36-year-old right-hander, a six-time All-Star, was 10-9 with a 3.61 ERA in 22 starts this season after recovering from Tommy John surgery that caused him to miss the 2025 season. Rasmussen was 16-5 with a 2.67 ERA for the Rays and made the All-Star team for the second straight season. The 31-year-old right-hander twice had surgery for a torn ligament in his elbow in college and needed an internal brace procedure in July 2023 that forced him to miss more than a year. He is 5-2 with a 1.81 ERA in 10 starts and one relief appearance against the Yankees, striking out out 70 in 59 ⅔ innings. Tampa Bay led the AL with 98 wins, earning a bye and home-field advantage at renovated Tropicana Field. They had to play their 2025 home games across the bay in Tampa at Steinbrenner Field — the spring training home of the Yankees — following damage to the Trop caused by Hurricane Milton on Oct. 9, 2024. The Rays haven't won a postseason series since 2020, when they lost the World Series to the Los Angeles Dodgers. They beat the Yankees 3-2 in the Division Series and won the franchise's second pennant. Reporting by The Associated Press.
Terry McLaurin added to injury report, listed as questionable for Sunday
The Commanders made a late addition to their injury report for Sunday's game against the Colts in London.
Wide receiver Terry McLaurin is listed as questionable to play in that contest. McLaurin was not on the injury report until Friday and he was limited by a hamstring injury.
Injuries that pop up late in the week can often lead to absences from the lineup, so the Commanders may need to try for their second straight win with Stefon Diggs at the top of their receiver group.
Running back Rachaad White (shoulder) has been ruled out after missing a third straight practice. Quarterback Jayden Daniels (left elbow), guard Sam Cosmi (concussion, throat), and safety Nick Cross (illness) were ruled out ahead of the release of the report. Safety Percy Butler (concussion) is questionable to play.
Hoelsveen best på 1500 meter under Runfest
Malin Hoelsveen var sterkes på 1500 meter gateløp under Runfest i Sandnes fredag. Vilde Våge Henriksen tok andreplassen, mens Wilma Anna Bekkemoen Torbiörnsson tok tredjeplassen.
– Hun er kanskje mer en 800 meter løper og hun fikk vist sluttspurtegenskapene sin her, sier NRK-ekspert Ådne Andersen om Hoelsveen.
Henriksen dro lenge på feltet før Hoelsveen rykker fra på slutten.
– Det var veldig gøy. Det var veldig lureløp så det var ingen som ville dra, og det er ikke så rart i den vinden her. Det ble en rask avslutning, så det er gøy, sier Hoelsveen til NRK etter løpet og legger til:
– Jeg fikk litt dårlig samvittighet for at hun måtte dra hele løpet, så da gikk jeg fram og dro litt. Det er greit å bytte litt på. Det er jo motvind så det er absolutt ingen fordel å ligge foran.
Senere i kveld skal Jakob og Filip Ingebrigtsen løpe samme distanse. Det kan du se på NRK 2 eller i NRK TV.
