Slot benker Salah

Slot benker Salah

Mohammed Salah starter på benken når Liverpool møter Paris Saint Germain i den første kampen i mesterligakvartfinalen onsdag kveld. Salah forlater de røde etter sesongen, og var en skygge av seg selv da Liverpool ble slått 4–0 av Manchester City i FA-cupen lørdag. Blant annet misset han fra straffemerket.
Manager Arne Slot har i stedet valgt Jeremie Frimpong på høyrekanten i den vanskelige bortekampen.
Alexander Sørloth lider samme skjebne som Salah i Atletico Madrids bortemøte med Barcelona. Dette til tross for at trønderen har scoret fem ganger i mesterligaen til nå.
Diego Simeone velger å starte med Julian Alvarez og Antoine Griezmann i angrep.
Kampene starter kl. 21.

🚨 PSG v Liverpool: official line-ups for the blockbuster, Salah on bench!

It’s time for a reunion with the Reds.

This Wednesday evening, PSG are once again putting their European champions title on the line against Liverpool.

For the second year in a row, the two clubs will face each other in a Champions League knockout match, this time in the quarter-finals.

For this match, Luis Enrique still has to cope with the injuries to Fabian Ruiz and Bradley Barcola, so the Spanish coach has selected an attack made up of Ousmane Dembélé, Désiré Doué and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.

There’s a big surprise on Liverpool’s side, with Mohamed Salah... on the bench. Hugo Ekitike is indeed in the squad.

Check out the line-ups below.


PSG: Safonov - Hakimi, Marquinhos, Pacho, N. Mendes - Vitinha, Joao Neves, Zaïre-Emery - Doué, Dembélé, Kvaratskhelia

Liverpool: Mamardashvili - Gomez, Konaté, Van Dijk, Kerkez - Gravenberch, Szoboszlai, Mac Allister - Frimpong, Ekitike, Wirtz

Donovan could seek another NBA coaching job or return to the college game, though the most prominent opening is off the table with North Carolina hiring Michael Malone. The Bulls could also give him a bigger say in basketball operations while continuing as coach. “I don’t think it’s going to take Billy a long time to come to a conclusion on what he wants to do,” Reinsdorf said. “I don’t think the draft or any of that’s going to come into play. The season ends next week. We’ll sit down with Billy as soon as possible, and we’ll find out where his head’s at.”

Zalmi stumble but beat Hyderabad in final-ball finish

Peshawar Zalmi inflicted a fourth successive defeat on Hyderabad Kingsmen, edging home on the final ball despite an almighty stumble in the closing stages.

Zalmi needed 23 runs from the last 24 balls before run of seven consecutive dot balls and two further wickets set up an unexpectedly tight finish in their chase of 146.

No boundaries came in the 19th over, leaving 14 to get from the last but Pakistan international Iftikhar Ahmed hit a six and a four before singles were snatched from the final two deliveries for a four-wicket win.

Iftikhar finished 15 not out from 10 balls, having earlier taken 4-21 with his off-spin as Hyderabad were dismissed for 145.

Babar Azam hit 43 from 37 balls in Zalmi's chase before the collapse.

They move up to fourth in the table while Hyderabad are seventh, having failed to win any of their four matches.

Texas Tech quarterback Behren Morton visited Packers in pre-draft visit

Per NFL rules, the Green Bay Packers are allowed to host up to 30 draft-eligible players (excluding “local” prospects, such as those in the UW system or nearby regional schools such as Northern Illinois) for in-person visits. The Journal Sentinel is tracking the visits and supplying profiles based on information from sources and published reports.

GREEN BAY – Growing up, Behren Morton idolized Texas Tech quarterback Graham Harrell.

Morton got to see the prolific Red Raiders quarterback throw for 5,111 yards and 45 touchdowns his senior year.

Harrell played in only four games in the NFL and they were all with the Green Bay Packers in 2012.

There’s a chance Morton could do better with the Packers.

Texas Tech quarterback Behren Morton passes against Central Florida.

Morton took a top-30 pre-draft visit with the Packers on April 7, according to his Instagram account.

Morton became a full-time starter at Texas Tech in part because future New Orleans Saints starter Tyler Shough was injured. Morton started four of nine games in ’22 and eight of 10 in ’23 before starting every game he played in during the ’23 and ’24 seasons.

He threw for 3,335 yards and 27 touchdowns in ’23 and 2,780 yards and 22 touchdowns in ’24.

Morton threw 28 interceptions in college, but it was on 1,263 attempts. His 2.2% interception rate would have ranked 18th in the NFL.

At 6-foot-2, 221 pounds, he has the bulk to withstand hits but may not be much of a scrambler. Injuries have affected him throughout his career, including a hairline fracture in his fibula that he played through in the team’s playoff loss to Oregon.

“It was good being back healthy,” Morton told the Daily Toreador at his pro day. “I really haven't been able to do much leading up to this. Still, at the combine, my leg was still banged up. Didn't get to test there. So, the biggest thing for me was just to get back healthy.”

It’s likely he’ll wind up as a free agent, but he’s just looking for an opening.

“That’s the same thing I talked about, having a chip on your shoulder,” Morton said. “That mindset of proving people wrong. I love when people are doubting me and think that I can’t do it. That just fires my fuel so much more.”

Behren Morton’s pro day results

  • 40-yard dash: 4.89 seconds
  • Vertical jump: 30½ inches
  • Broad jump: 9-foot-5
  • Shuttle drill: 4.41 seconds
  • Three-cone drill: 7.17 seconds
  • Arms are 30⅝ inches
  • Hands are 9½ inches
