Ter Stegen Set For Return to Action

Marc-André ter Stegen is set to return to action tonight as Barcelona face Dynamo Kyiv in the Champions League group stages.

Ter Stegen was ruled out for several months in August following a knee injury which had been causing him trouble since the start of the year.

His last match for Barcelona was in the quarter final of the Champions League as the Catalan giants faced off against Bayern Munich at the Camp Nou.

Barcelona crashed out of the Champions League after a devastating 8-2 loss at the hands of Hansi Flick’s Bayern.

The German shot stopper will be keen to avenge this loss and end the clubs 5 year drought in the hunt for a Champions League title.

Brazilian international, Neto has took the reigns during Ter Stegen’s absence making 8 appearances so far this season.

Whilst Barcelona’s form has been well below par in La Liga, their performances in the Champions league have been faultless.

Barca are currently two wins from two in this seasons competition after beating Hungarian side Ferencvárosi in the opener and Pirlo’s Juventus just last week.

In doing so Ronald Koeman’s side have only conceded 1 goal which came as a penalty in a 5-1 victory against Ferencvárosi.

Due to Neto’s impressive start in the European campaign it is unknown whether or not Ter Stegen will start tonight against Dynamo Kyiv.

Nonetheless, Barcelona have confirmed that the German international is in the squad for the fixture, with Ter Stegen posting on Instagram that he was ready to return.

Alphonse Areola Earns First Premier League Clean Sheet

It was a memorable night for Alphonse Areola as Fulham gained their first victory and clean sheet of the Premier League campaign.

The Monday evening fixture saw Fulham take on West Brom at Craven Cottage in what was already being dubbed as a relegation scrap.

Fulham sat rock bottom of the Premier League prior to last nights bout, but a 2-0 victory would see them rise to 17th in the table.

Alphonse Areola was at the heart of a solid team performance for Scott Parkers side, who will have been delighted to get his first 3 points in the top division as a manager.

Areola arrives in the capital on a season long loan from Paris Saint-Germain after Fulham gained promotion last season from the Championship.

He comes boasting experience for some of Europe’s top teams appearing 9 times for Real Madrid and over 100 times for Paris Saint-Germain.

As well as an astounding 13 honours at club level, he was also part of the France national side that won the World cup in 2018.

There is no doubt that the French international brings a plethora of experience to Fulham’s goalkeeper position in what is an important season for The Cottagers.

Fulham have a short journey to West Ham on Saturday as Alphonse Areola’s side will be hoping to make it 2 wins on the bounce in the Premier League.

Choosing the Perfect Junior Gloves

Every professional footballer will tell you how important it is to have gear that fits you correctly. From boots to kneepads, every piece of equipment counts. In this respect, gloves are a goalie’s best friend.

If you’re prepping your kid for their first match, here’s a guide to help you find the perfect junior goalkeeper glove.

Three Factors

There are three factors to keep in mind when choosing any goalie glove, and the same goes for junior gloves. First, there’s the size. Then the cut. And, finally, the foam type.

Size

Get your kid a pair of gloves that are too large for their little hands, and the ball will slip right through. Get them a size that’s too small, and discomfort will ruin the game.

With goalie gloves, it’s all about the palm width. This is what makes the glove feel overly tight or too loose – neither of which is ideal.

You can find the glove size on the packaging, but what do these sizes actually mean? Well, size 2 gloves are for small children around the age of five. Size 3 gloves are for children that are six years old. Size 4 is for small children of seven or eight. Size 5 gloves are for children of about nine years of age, while sizes 6 and 7 are for larger children aged between nine and twelve. Sizes 7.5-8 are for juniors of 13 or more years.

Cut

This refers to the stitching and design style for the palm and finger area of a goalie glove. You have a lot to choose from here.

But in truth, there’s no “correct” answer to the question of the cut. It’s all about personal preference. However, we’ve broken down the attributes of some of the most common goalie glove cuts:

  • Roll finger – Often seen as a perfect middle between snug and spacious, traditional and covered with latex
  • Negative – Snug, works great for skinny hands
  • Negative roll – Very snug
  • Flat cut – Spacious with high latex coverage
  • Hybrid – A combination of different cuts
  • Medius cut – Middle fingers negative, outer fingers rolled, spacious toward the outside, snug in the middle
  • Hyla cut – Snug, comfortable, pre-curved, solid ball retention
  • Total flare – Flat middle fingers, flared rolled outer fingers
  • Ultra flat – Snug, flat palm and negative stitching
  • Cresco cut – Spacious, brilliant for smothering the ball

Foam Type

Foam is there to protect your hands. It will certainly absorb any powerful shot but, more importantly, it will protect your thumbs from potential dislocation. There are three foam types with goalie gloves: Contact Grip, Giga Grip, and SuperSoft.

  • Contact Grip – Works brilliantly in wet conditions and offers a ton of resistance
  • Giga Grip – Keeps the hands cushioned and adheres wonderfully
  • SuperSoft – Based on Giga Grip, but cheaper

Goalie Gloves for Your Kid

These were the factors that you should focus on when looking for the perfect junior goalkeeper glove. Keep in mind that your kid will probably have to try out various different pairs to find the ideal match. More than anything, it’s vital that you listen to your kid and test out which glove fits them perfectly.

Hugo Lloris Becomes 3rd Most Capped French Player

Hugo Lloris became the 3rd most capped French international of all time on Sunday as his side drew 0-0 with Portugal. The Spurs shot stopper put in a solid display where he made 3 saves and ultimately wrote his name into the history books.

Lloris made his 117th appearance in the UEFA Nations League fixture allowing him to surpass Marcel Desailly (116). Only Thierry Henry (123) and Lilian Thuram (142) have appeared more times for the French national team.

His first call up to the senior squad came in 2008 when France played Uruguay in a friendly. Hugo Lloris has gone on to play in 2 EURO competitions as well as 3 World Cups for his country. The 2018 World Cup would prove to be one to remember for Lloris as he captained his nation to their first world title since 1998.

Croatia, who France beat 4-2 in the 2018 final will face Les Bleus again tomorrow night in their final Nations League game of the international break. It will be an important fixture for Lloris & France as they require 3 points if they are to give themselves any chance of topping their group.

Will Liverpool Bring in a New Goalkeeper?

An injury to Liverpool number 1, Alisson and a 7-2 defeat to Aston Villa before the international break has sparked rumours surrounding a potential incoming for the reds. Alisson was ruled out for 6 weeks after sustaining a shoulder injury leaving Liverpool with Adrian as their only experienced option.

Although the transfer deadline for Premier League teams has passed, they can still sign players from the EFL before October 16th. This has led to Liverpool being linked with goalkeepers from lower leagues who could provide competition for Adrian during Alisson’s absence.

Jack Butland of Stoke City and Brice Samba of Nottingham Forest are two names that have been the subject of speculation in regards to a possible move to Merseyside. Jack Butland who has been heavily linked, could bring a great level of experience to the Liverpool squad with 77 Premier league appearances and 9 senior caps for England. On the other hand, Brice Samba is an interesting option after a solid breakthrough season in 2019/20 where he kept 13 clean sheets in 40 starts for the Midlands side.

Despite reports, Klopp has indicated that he is happy with his current options suggesting that a new goalkeeper for Liverpool is unlikely. With Klopps side travelling to Everton this weekend it is expected that Adrian will retain his spot in-between the sticks. Youngsters Caoimhin Kelleher and Marcelo Pitaluga will be the most likely candidates to serve as cover for the Spaniard.

Head over to the Just Keepers Twitter & Facebook pages to have your say on whether Liverpool should bring in a new goalkeeper before the EFL deadline.
