Portsmouth manager Paul Hart is not keen on signing striker Amr Zaki, who spent a spell on loan at Wigan, even though a fee has been agreed with Egyptian club Zamalek.

Rafa Benitez expects Liverpool to be without Fernando Torres when they play Manchester City on Saturday.
Striker Torres has been suffering with a groin problem, which he has aggravated in recent weeks and he is still struggling with his fitness.
The Anfield outfit's top scorer missed Spain's win over Argentina and he has been receiving intensive treatment in a bid to get fit as soon as possible.



The Dubious Goals Panel has viewed all dubious goals for the period 15th August to 6th October 2009.

Manchester City striker Craig Bellamy fears his career could be over after one or two more seasons.

The groin problem is the latest in a catalogue of injuries and subsequent operations that have dogged Bellamy's career and the player believes his playing days may be cut short.

Darren Bent reckons Sunderland can overcome Arsenal at the Stadium of Light on Saturday.
Sunderland are up to eighth in the Barclays Premier League after a bright start to the campaign under manager Steve Bruce.
The second-placed Gunners have emerged as genuine title contenders and will be tough opposition having scored 11 goals in their last three matches.


Arsenal striker Eduardo has signed a new "long-term" contract at the Emirates Stadium.
And there is more good news for Arsenal after the club confirmed that the injury sustained by defender Kieran Gibbs while on England Under 21 duty was not as bad as first feared.
The 26-year-old, who joined the Gunners from Dinamo Zagreb in July 2007, has been rewarded for his form since recovering from a badly broken leg.


Manchester United's Paul Scholes wants manager Sir Alex Ferguson to remain at Old Trafford for years to come. Ferguson has had a glorious 23-year stay at United where he has won a clutch of honours including the Barclays Premier League on 10 occasions.
The 67-year-old did have plans to retire at the end of the 2001/02 campaign but decided to stay on and lead the Red Devils to even more silverware.
