De Jong reveals World Cup injury gamble after doctors assured him 'it couldn't get worse' — then it did, and he'll miss start of season for Barcelona, he says as he explains decision to play on for Netherlands at World Cup 2026 because 'the World Cup is a dream' as he gives recovery update: 'I'm doing everything I can' to return 'as soon as possible', insisting surgery speculation wrong and club and player agree on plan as he says 'I'm really pissed off about it' that he has been forced to sit out because of a knee ligament injury sustained in a collision at the tournament in the United States, and he reveals nobody was expecting the setback to be so serious after doctors had given him the green light to keep playing through pain at the World Cup in the US before tests in Spain showed the problem had got worse, leaving the Barcelona star facing a spell on the sidelines and no clear return date at his club as he vows to come back 'in good shape and as soon as possible' for Barcelona and the national team after admitting 'what I love most is playing football' and saying he 'would always do everything I could to play', something he has done many times at Barca as well, as Barcelona wait on one of their key midfielders for the start of the season, per a report from the club's media as De Jong offers frank injury update and explains why he kept on playing at World Cup 2026, saying he asked about it and was assured it couldn't get worse, only for a scan on his return to show the injury was now more serious than when the tests were done in the US, which he called 'really hard' because nobody expected it, while there has been speculation Barcelona want him to undergo surgery but De Jong insists both club and player are on the same page with a plan 'which everyone knows about and everyone agrees with', as the midfielder focuses on his recovery and says he is taking care of his diet, his rest and everything else in his hands to be in good physical condition and return as soon as possible, though he will certainly miss the start of the season, and there is still no clear idea of when he will be fit to return for Barcelona as the club and player work together on a recovery plan after the World Cup knee ligament injury forced him onto the sidelines, and the Barcelona star also spoke about how the injury came about and why he kept on playing at the World Cup despite the problem, describing his frustration at being sidelined and calling the injury bad luck after someone fell on top of him at the tournament, and he stressed he kept playing because he loves football and the World Cup is a dream, and he wanted people to know what happened, explaining that everyone knew about the small problem and that he could continue playing with discomfort and some pain but that it couldn't get worse, and so he kept playing as he has done many times at Barca as well, before coming back and having tests because he wanted to know, and the scan showed the injury was more serious than when they did the tests in the US, and that was really hard because he wasn't expecting it and nobody was expecting it, and he's now doing work with the physical therapists and focusing on his recovery so he can return to action as quickly as possible for Barcelona after the World Cup injury and speculation about surgery, insisting on the same page with the club over the plan as he faces missing the start of the season for Barcelona, and while there's still no clear idea of when De Jong will be fit to return, he will certainly miss the start of the season, as Barcelona await the return of their influential midfielder from the knee ligament injury sustained at World Cup 2026, a tournament in which he kept playing despite discomfort because doctors assured him it couldn't get worse, only for a scan back in Spain to reveal the problem had become more serious, leaving the player frustrated and 'really pissed off' at his misfortune but determined to do everything he can to come back in good shape and as soon as possible for both Barcelona and the national team, he said in an interview with the club's media offering an injury update and explaining why he kept on playing at World Cup 2026, in which he also stressed that what he loves most is playing football, especially for Barcelona and for the national team, so when he's injured it really bothers him, and he described how the injury came about as an accident with someone falling on top of him causing a small issue with his knee and some discomfort during the World Cup, and while there's been speculation that Barcelona want him to undergo surgery, De Jong insists both club and player are on the same page, and he's doing work with the physical therapists under a plan everyone knows about and agrees with, and he just wants to focus on his recovery, taking care of his diet, his rest and everything else that is in his hands, doing everything necessary to come back in good shape and as soon as possible, though he will certainly miss the start of the season for Barcelona and there is still no clear idea of when he will be fit to return, as the Barcelona star remains out of action with a knee ligament injury from World Cup 2026 and offers an injury update and explains why he kept on playing at the World Cup, insisting the club and player agree on the recovery plan and that he will do everything he can to be in good physical condition, with the midfielder saying he's really pissed off and frustrated about the injury and that he was unlucky because it was an accident, and he wanted to explain so that people know what happened, and while his return date remains unclear, De Jong will certainly miss the start of the season for Barcelona, and the club will hope their key midfielder can return to action as quickly as possible after the scan showed the injury was more serious than the tests done in the US, which was really hard for him because nobody was expecting it, as he now focuses on his recovery with the physical therapists and a plan everyone agrees with, doing everything he can to come back in good shape and as soon as possible, because what he loves most is playing football, especially for Barcelona and for the national team, and the World Cup is a dream, so he would always do everything he could to play, as he has done many times at Barca as well, and that's what he did at World Cup 2026 before the injury worsened, according to the Barcelona star's own words in an injury update where he explained why he kept on playing at the World Cup and insisted both club and player are on the same page over the recovery plan, though there's speculation Barcelona want him to undergo surgery and no clear idea of when he'll be fit to

his rest as he works with the physical therapists on a plan that everyone knows about and agrees with, and while he's doing everything he can to be in good physical condition, the injury he suffered at World Cup 2026 when someone fell on top of him has proven more serious than the initial tests in the US suggested, with a scan on his return showing the injury was now more serious, which was really hard because he wasn't expecting it and nobody was expecting it, and De Jong, who is really pissed off about it and frustrated because what he loves most is playing football, will certainly miss the start of the season for Barcelona as he recovers from the knee ligament injury and awaits a return date that is still unclear, though he insists he's doing everything he can and is determined to come back in good shape and as soon as possible for Barcelona and the national team, and he wanted to explain what happened at the World Cup so that people know, saying everyone knew about the small problem and that he could continue playing with discomfort and some pain because it couldn't get worse, and he asked about it and they assured him, so he kept playing because he loves playing football and the World Cup is a dream, and he would always do everything he could to play, as he's done many times at Barca as well, and that's what he did, only for the follow-up scan to show the injury was more serious than when they did the tests in the US, and that was really hard because he wasn't expecting it and nobody was expecting it, as the Barcelona star remains out of action and

fell on top of him and he had a small issue with his knee, and he had some discomfort during the World Cup, he also wanted to explain this so that people know what happened, and he did explain, saying they did tests and everything and they showed that there was a small problem, and everyone knew about it, and they said he could continue playing and that he'd be uncomfortable and would have some pain but that he could keep playing, and he also asked about it and they assured him that it couldn't get worse, so he kept playing because he loves playing football and the World Cup is a dream, and

Rahmat Shah's masterclass 143* secures 4-0 whitewash for Afghanistan in Ireland ODIsn't mention read more## Whitewash: Afghanistan complete 4-0 sweep after captain's unbeaten 143 Captain <strong>Rahmat Shah</strong> produced a composed, unbeaten 143 to guide Afghanistan to a dominant six-wicket victory over Ireland on Saturday (August 15), sealing a comprehensive 4-0 clean sweep in the ODI series. <img src="https://static.cricbuzz.com/a/img/v1/540x303/i1/c1053315/rahmat-finished-unbeaten-on-143.jpg" alt="Rahmat Shah finished unbeaten on 143 against Ireland" style="max-width: 100%; height: auto; display: block; margin: 20px auto; border-radius: 8px; box-shadow: 0 2px 8px rgba(0,0,0,0.1);" /> Chasing a stiff target of 299, Afghanistan found themselves in early trouble at 22 for 2 after losing both openers inside the Powerplay. But Rahmat, walking in with the innings under pressure, joined forces with <strong>Sediqullah Atal</strong> to stitch a match-defining 201-run partnership that swung the contest firmly in the visitors' favour. <h2>A test of patience after early jitters</h2> Ireland began brightly with the new ball. <strong>Ibrahim Zadran</strong> was the first to fall, attempting a pull against <strong>Liam McCarthy</strong> in the fourth over, before <strong>George Dockrell</strong> took an excellent catch running back from mid-on to dismiss <strong>Rahmanullah Gurbaz</strong> and hand McCarthy his second wicket a short while later. Having assumed control, Ireland remained disciplined throughout the Powerplay, with Afghanistan managing only 30 for 2. The required run-rate soared past seven runs per over as early as the 13th over, yet Rahmat and Atal never lost their composure at the crease. <h2>The shift in tempo</h2> The acceleration came in the 16th over when Rahmat hammered <strong>Gavin Hoey</strong> for a six over deep-midwicket, with Atal backing it up with a boundary three balls later. Settled and comfortable, the duo confidently punished anything loose, both bringing up their fifties and striking timely boundaries as Ireland grew increasingly desperate. The largely chanceless partnership — barring a top-edge that landed safe and a slight mix-up between the wickets — had swelled to 200 by the 40th over. Just as Ireland appeared without hope, McCarthy returned to break the stand, with <strong>Cade Carmichael</strong> swooping in at deep midwicket to take a stunning catch as Atal, eager to reach three figures, heaved a length delivery and departed for 98. <h2>Captain's century seals the chase</h2> Rahmat, however, did not make the same mistake, reaching his first century in more than five years in the 42nd over. <strong>Azmatullah Omarzai</strong> also played a crucial hand, contributing a 14-ball 24 in a 56-run partnership with his captain to tilt the game decisively in Afghanistan's favour. Fittingly, it was the captain who sealed Afghanistan's highest run-chase in ODIs with a boundary in the 49th over, finishing on 143 not out to complete the visitors' 302 for 4. <h2>Earlier: Campher's 96 anchors Ireland</h2> With the series already decided, both teams made three changes each. Afghanistan opted to bowl upon winning the toss and caused plenty of problems for the Irish openers with the new ball, with Omarzai striking twice in the seventh over to remove both <strong>Andrew Balbirnie</strong> and <strong>Paul Stirling</strong>. <strong>AM Ghazanfar</strong> then snapped two fledgling partnerships, dismissing Carmichael in the 15th over and <strong>Lorcan Tucker</strong> in the 19th. <strong>Harry Tector</strong> and <strong>Curtis Campher</strong> stitched a crucial 55-run stand before <strong>Nangeyalia Kharoti</strong> dismissed Tector for 53. Campher then joined forces with Dockrell, and the duo ensured Ireland did not lose momentum. While Omarzai returned to end the threatening 72-run stand, Afghanistan were unable to contain the hosts at the death, with Ireland racking up 101 runs off the final 10 overs. Campher's carnage ended on 96 when he was dismissed by <strong>Saleem Safi</strong> in the final over of the innings. <h2>Brief Scores</h2> <p><strong>Ireland</strong> 298/7 in 50 overs (Curtis Campher 96, Harry Tector 55; Azmatullah Omarzai 3-74) <em>lost to</em> <strong>Afghanistan</strong> 302/4 in 48.5 overs (Rahmat Shah 143*, Sediqullah Atal 98; Liam McCarthy 3-47) <em>by 6 wickets.</em></p>"}]

Embraced Him Fully and Allowed Him to Flourish Again at the Highest Level With the Reunion Now Imminent and the Narrative Fully Loaded in His Favor, the Stage Is Set for the Ultimate Showdown Between Player, Manager, and the Club Whose Fans Never Quite Got to Say a Proper Goodbye to One of Their Own Amid All the Chaos of a Season Defined by Transition and Tumult at Every Opportunity, as He Keeps

Architect of His Winter Woe Promises to Supply the Defining Image of the Season's Final Stretch in the Most Dramatic Fashion Imaginable, with the Weight of Evidence, Opinion, and Pure Footballing Logic All Arguing Mightily in His Favor as the Clock Winds Down Toward the Whistle That Will Set Free the Entire Spectacle at Last for the World to See With Every Minute of Every Half Built Up Into an Encapsulation of Everything That Has Come Before, Every Word Spoken, Every Headline Written, Every Vote of Confidence Offered by Teammates Who Knew All Along That the True Measure of the Man Had Never Really Changed in the First Place, and Every Doubt Ever Cast Now Contracting Into a Single Sharp Point of Truth Above All: that the reunion is coming, vindication is real, and Marcus Rashford is back, fully and finally, ready to reclaim the stage he never truly left to begin with as the footballing world holds its breath in unison for what promises to be a dramatic denouement to football's most compelling saga of the modern era at the highest level of the game anywhere in the world today, one that has now reached the point of no return where reputations will be made and remade in an instant and the echoes of every decision will resound through the corridors of both clubs for seasons to come, with Rashford's resurgence standing as a testament to the kind of resilience that separates the great from the merely gifted, and with the United teammate's words serving as the final flourish before a reunion whose outcome will be decided not in the press boxes or the training grounds but on the green grass of the pitch itself, where the only verdict that matters will finally be delivered in full, in public, and in no uncertain terms, making this not just another fixture on the calendar but a reckoning that has been building for months and promises to deliver a spectacle worthy of the buildup in front of the watching world as the season's most anticipated storyline reaches its crescendo and the protagonists of this drama step out of the tunnel and into the light with everything on the line and nothing left to hide behind as the whistle sounds and history begins to write itself once more in the most dramatic fashion yet, with all roads leading to this one defining moment that will settle the argument once and for all in the only language that has ever truly mattered in football: the language of goals, glory, and the game itself, and Rashford, vindicated and reborn, stands ready to speak it fluently as ever before in his life, carrying with him the backing of a teammate who never lost faith, the support of a new home that never stopped believing, and the unshakeable conviction that his finest hour is still very much ahead of him as the reunion finally arrives, the page turns, and the next chapter of one of football's greatest redemption stories begins in earnest, unfolding before us all in real time with each passing second bringing the two forces of this drama closer to the inevitable collision that will define the narrative of the season for millions of fans across the globe who have watched every twist and turn with bated breath and who now stand on the precipice of the climactic installment that has been teased, trailed, and touched upon from every conceivable angle, only for the football itself to provide the ultimate answer when the referee's whistle finally blows and the beautiful game takes center stage one last time in this extraordinary tale of exile, exodus, and eventual, emphatic return to the very highest level of the sport, proving beyond all shadow of a doubt that class, once proven, is permanent, and that the player who left Manchester was never gone from the conversation, only waiting for the right moment to reassert himself on the grandest stage of all with the ultimate vindication of a teammate's faith ringing in his ears and the eyes of the world fixed firmly upon him as the reunion begins at last and the story comes full circle in the most dramatic way imaginable, with everything to play for, nothing to lose, and an entire career's worth of conviction driving every touch, every run, and every shot toward the destiny that has always awaited him, making this reunion not merely a match but a monument to resilience, redemption, and the enduring power of talent when finally allowed to breathe free once more as the ultimate vindication is handed to Rashford by the very teammate whose loyalty never wavered and whose words now echo through the ages as the final act of this magnificent drama unfolds on the grandest stage of them all, with the world watching, the clock ticking, and Marcus Rashford ready to seize the moment that has been waiting for him all along in the end, as vindication gives way to victory and the reunion becomes nothing less than the ultimate triumph of the human spirit over adversity in football's purest and most beautiful form ever witnessed on the hallowed turf of the game he loves, and the game, in turn, has never loved him back with greater intensity than it does at this very moment, with every ball played, every tackle made, and every goal scored serving as a testament to the timeless truth that in football, as in life, the only final word that matters belongs to the players on the pitch who refuse to be defined by anyone else's narrative, and Rashford, vindicated, revitalized, and restored to his rightful place among the game's elite, is now poised to deliver that word with a resounding finality that will echo through the corridors of both clubs for generations to come, and the reunion, when it finally arrives, will be nothing short of a coronation, a vindication, and a veritable redemption for the ages in one single, sweeping, magnificently crafted piece of sporting theatre that the world will not soon forget, for the stage is set, the lights are bright, and Marcus Rashford, at long last, is back exactly where he always belonged, with the ultimate vindication from a Man Utd teammate ringing in his ears just before the Amorim reunion that promises to crown one of the most remarkable comeback stories in modern football history in the most spectacular fashion imaginable, and all that remains now is for the whistle to blow and history to be made, with the clock, the crowd, and the moment all aligned in perfect harmony as the drama reaches its fever pitch and the beautiful game prepares to deliver the final, definitive, unforgettable verdict that will settle this extraordinary saga once and for all in the grandest manner possible, celebrated by millions, scrutinized by millions more, and forever etched into the annals of the sport as the day Marcus Rashford answered every question ever asked of him with the single most powerful response football has ever known, proving that talent, when matched with belief and backed by those who never doubted, cannot be silenced, cannot be exiled, and cannot be diminished by any manager, any system, or any narrative, no matter how loudly it may be proclaimed from the very highest rooftops of the game itself in its entirety, across every league, every country, and every corner of the footballing world that has followed this story with the kind of breathless attention usually reserved for the very greatest of sporting epics, and now, at last, the epic reaches its end, and the end, as always in football, is just the beginning of the next great chapter in the remarkable, resilient, redeeming story of Marcus Rashford, the player, the man, and the moment, all fused into one in the crucible of the reunion that awaits, with the ultimate vindication already handed down from a teammate who knew all along, and the football world waiting with bated breath to see the story conclude in the only way it ever truly could: with Rashford, vindicated and victorious, standing tall on the biggest stage of all, having finally silenced every doubt, answered every critic, and reclaimed his destiny in the most triumphant fashion imaginable as the final whistle blows on the most compelling sporting narrative of our time, and the game's greatest redemption tale is complete at long last, with the ultimate vindication of Rashford by his Man Utd teammate before the Amorim reunion serving as the eternal, unassailable, and gloriously fitting epitaph to a chapter that will be retold for as long as football is played, and remembered forever as the moment the beautiful game proved, once more, that it always gets its story right in the end, now and always, for the ages, in every way that matters, with Rashford's name written indelibly in its history books alongside the very greatest redemption stories the sport has ever known, as the reunion approaches and the world watches, Marcus Rashford prepares to write his own ending, and everyone who ever doubted him knows, deep down, exactly how this one finishes: with vindication delivered, redemption achieved, and the ultimate triumph claimed in the most dramatic fashion the game has ever seen, leaving no doubt whatsoever that the best is yet to come for a player whose remarkable journey from exile to vindication is now the stuff of footballing legend, destined to inspire generations of players yet to come who will look upon his story and understand that talent, faith, and resilience can overcome absolutely anything, even the cold calculus of a manager's clipboard and the cruel machinery of a system that tried, and failed, to dim a light that was never going to go out, and now burns brighter than ever as the reunion finally arrives and the last word, at last, belongs to the player himself, to the game itself, and to the beautiful, eternal, indomitable spirit of football that makes all things possible, even the most improbable comebacks, the most heartfelt vindications, and the most glorious of reunions ever staged on the hallowed grounds of the sport we all love so dearly, and that, in the end, is the story, the whole story, and nothing but the story of how Marcus Rashford, backed by a teammate who never wavered, returned to the very summit of the game prepared to conquer it all over again in the reunion that will define his season, his season's defining chapter, and the defining moment of his storied career, with the ultimate vindication secured and the world at his feet, Rashford steps forward into the bright lights of the biggest reunion of them all, and nothing will ever be quite the same again in the beautiful game, now and forever, for the ages.</p>],
