Milan have confirmed Zlatan Ibrahimovic will miss the rest of 2022 after having surgery on a knee problem, stoking speculation the forward might retire.
Ibrahimovic celebrated Milan s Serie A title success in typical style on Sunday, smoking a cigar as he made his way out onto the pitch for the trophy presentation.
Yet the 40-year-old – who came off the bench in the 3-0 win over Sassuolo that sealed the title – might have made his final appearance for Milan, and possibly of his career, after he underwent surgery on his left knee.
Milan revealed on Wednesday that Ibrahimovic will face between seven and eight months out of action, but that the surgery was a success.

This is arguably one of the most evenly matched groups at the tournament finals and the reality is all four teams have a realistic chance of qualifying for the Last 16 stage. Even with Radamel Falcao missing, Colombia remain the favourites to progress to the next phase on their fifth ever World Cup appearance, but los Cafeteros will not have an easy job, that s for sure.
Led by Yaya Toure, one of world s best footballers, Ivory Coast have qualified for their third successive World Cup finals, but it remains to be seen if they can avoid crashing out in the group stage one more time. Then we have Euro 2004 champions Greece ready to upset the odds once again as well as Alberto Zaccheroni s Japan, who are always difficult to beat.

Former Real Madrid coach Bernd Schuster thinks that Spain s achievements at Euro 2012 have been largely based on luck.
Spain are on course for a third consecutive major title after beating Portugal 4-2 on penalties, to book a date against Italy in the final on Sunday.
Schuster, who played for both Barcelona and Real Madrid in the 1980s, believes that while Vicente del Bosque s side have been rather fortuitous of late, it is a necessary ingredient for victory.
Spain have been very lucky. If you are not, you do not win ever. It is essential to get lucky and in previous competitions, Spain did not have any luck. the former Germany international told Onda Cero.
(Italy) defend very well, (Andrea) Pirlo organises everything and directs the ball where he want…
Pele remains the marker to whom modern greats such as Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are compared.
The Brazilian legend is one of football’s most iconic figures and his death at the age of 82 brings the curtain down on a life and career that entertained and inspired in equal measure.
The forward, born Edson Arantes do Nascimento in Tres Coracoes in 1940, was just 15 years old when he made his Santos debut in 1956, winning his first Brazil cap the following year.
It was at the 1958 World Cup in Sweden that Pele first commanded international attention, though.
Brazil were yet to lift the Jules Rimet trophy when Pele first burst onto the scene, but the teenager helped kick-start a period of success for the South American nation with a series of scintil…
Aston Villa were relegated from the Premier League following a 1-0 defeat away to Manchester United on this day in 2016.
Marcus Rashford’s 32nd-minute goal condemned Villa to the second tier of English football for the first time in 28 years.
Rudy Gestede hit the post with a volley late on but there was no delaying what was by then the inevitable.
It was a ninth straight defeat and 24th of the campaign for Villa in a dire season.
They would finish with only three wins and 17 points, half the tally of 19th-placed Norwich, and 22 points adrift of safety.
Villa, the 1982 European Cup winners, had been part of the Premier League since its inception and in the top flight since 1988.
But the 2015-16 season quickly turned into a horror show and…

Prop bets (or propositions) allow bettors to wager on the myriad events occurring within a game.

What are prop bets in the NFL?
Prop bets in the NFL allow you to wager on events within an NFL game. Prop bets span individual player performance and various statistics (team or player related). Some sportsbooks offer props on outlandish in-game events not directly linked to on-field play, such as the color of Gatorade used in the customary post-Super Bowl celebration.

Bad weeks happen.
It’s inevitable… and it was my fate last week as I went an unsightly 1-5 with my NFL player props.
Guy goes down with an injury in the first quarter? Check. Losing on a half-yard hook (when they needed just one over the final three quarters)? Yup, that happened. Picking a dude that just stunk it up? When it rains it monsoons.
Thankfully, the Week 9 odds board provides a fresh slate, a chance at redemption, and a way to make some NFL picks that can get me back into Gamblor’s good graces.
I started things off by banking on the NFL odds for three offensive stars (well, two stars and a quarterback) because, well, why not get back to basics, but I’m finishing off my favorite NFL props for Week 9 with a little bit of creativity &mda…
