Higuain set to continue at Napoli

Keylor Navas is targeting more titles at Real Madrid after winning the Champions League with his side last season, although the goalkeeper needs to recover from a heel injury first.

Navas was not able to take part in the Copa America Centenario with Costa Rica as he required surgery on the problem, but the goalkeeper is hoping to be fit for the new La Liga season.

The 29-year-old said he is recovering nicely from his surgery but is not able to put a timescale on his recovery. 

Thank God everything goes well and I m recovering nicely, which is most important, Navas told Marca.

You have to take everything calmly and face it with happiness. Often one would like to be in another situation, but I have no other. You have to come here, be with the physio and …

Steve McClaren has warned Fabio Capello that England s problems won t disappear overnight.

The former national coach knows exactly how Capello feels as the Italian struggles to produce a winning team with English football s underachieving stars.

Capello, a proven success at AC Milan, Real Madrid and Juventus, was expected to transform England s fortunes when he succeeded McClaren last year in the aftermath of the team s failure to qualify for Euro 2008.

But there has been no obvious improvement so far and Capello s side were booed off at Wembley after a lacklustre 2-2 draw against the Czech Republic last week.

McClaren, who was also Sven Goran Eriksson s assistant during England s 2006 World Cup campaign, is convinced there are deep-rooted problems s…

England manager Fabio Capello has called on club managers around the country to show him respect by not launching public criticism at the national team.

Capello was appointed following England s failure to qualify for the 2008 European Championships with the task of leading them to the World Cup in South Africa in 2010.

And ahead of Saturday s World Cup qualifier with Andorra here, the respected Italian coach believes he can be helped in that quest if club managers around the country show a little bit more respect.

Portsmouth manager Harry Redknapp launched a particularly scathing attack after England s 2-2 draw with the Czech Republic at Wembley last month.

Capello says he never gives opinions about the dozens of club games he witnesses up and down …

Neymar scored his first Champions League goal in a year as Paris Saint-Germain capped off their impressive Group A campaign with a 5-0 win over Galatasaray.

Having played the role of creator for PSG s two first-half goals at Parc des Princes, Neymar put Thomas Tuchel s side three up with a typically composed finish moments after the break.

Galatasaray needed a victory to stand a chance of edging out Club Brugge for a Europa League spot, yet the Turkish champions resistance lasted just 32 minutes – quick-fire efforts from Mauro Icardi and Pablo Sarabia putting PSG in control.

Neymar followed up his goal with a sublime assist for Kylian Mbappe to add a fourth just after the hour, with substitute Edinson Cavani getting in on the act with a late penalty.

Ever since Santiago Solari was sacked and Zinedine Zidane returned to Real Madrid, it was clear that the still reigning champions of Europe would be in for a huge summer. Many deals are still expected to happen, as Zidane was reportedly promised backing in the transfer market. Eden Hazard is expected to arrive, Luka Jovic was mentioned as a done deal, but former club president Ramon Calderon spoke to media about possibilities of signing Neymar and Paul Pogba.

“Neymar is a top player but I don’t see him his behaviour in the last games he has played – as being the best reference for coming to Real Madrid. Pogba? Maybe. He is one of the players that [Zinedine] Zidane has said he really likes.

“It would be a problem of money. Our president has decided to in…
