During the 2-2 draw against Napoli, Wesley suffered a left ankle injury following a rough tackle by Amir Rrahmani.

The former Flamengo player was forced to limp off the pitch, while the Giallorossi medical staff promptly applied an ice pack to the affected area.

In the next few hours, Il Tempo reports, the player will undergo tests to assess the extent of the injury.

This new sideline represents another significant loss for Roma, which is already dealing with several absences at a crucial point in the season.

The team is indeed awaiting the crucial match against Juventus, scheduled for two weeks at the Olimpico, a crucial match for the Giallorossi’s seasonal objectives.

If Wesley’s injury proves serious, it would be another blow for Gian Piero Gasperini’s team.

Meanwhile, the Roman side are hoping to have Hermoso and Koné back for next Sunday’s match against Cremonese.

The Spaniard and the Frenchman should return to training with the group this week and earn a call-up to the match against Nicola’s men.

Ødegaard hyller Klæbo: – Har vært utrolig

Utenfor fotballbanen er landslagskaptein Martin Ødegaard en ivrig idrettstilhenger. Fra OL følger han spesielt med på langrenn.
Det er i en statusmelding på Arsenals nettsted at Ødegaard forteller om OL-interessen. Ødegaard har hatt en liten skadeperiode i det siste og mistet flere kamper.
– Utenom fotball, og som nordmann, har jeg fulgt vinter-OL. Jeg har ikke fått sett altfor mye av det som følge av at vi her trent mye, men jeg har fulgt med på resultatene, spesielt i langrenn. Det er gøy å se at det er mange norske vinnere, innleder han.
Deretter kommer han med en hyllest av Johannes Høsflot Klæbo, som søndag ble tidenes vinterolympier med sitt niende gull. Meldingen ble lagt ut før det skjedde.
– Klæbo har vært utrolig. Helt fantastisk.
– Hele landet stiller alltid opp for Norge i OL. Det er veldig stort hjemme, spesielt skisporten, og det er noe jeg alltid så på da jeg vokste opp, uttaler Ødegaard. (NTB)

Brentford XI vs Macclesfield – Predicted lineup and team news

Brentford XI vs Macclesfield – Predicted lineup and team news

Brentford travel to face non-league Macclesfield on Monday night while they aim to avoid becoming the latest victim of the competition’s ultimate giant-killers.

The Bees moved into the top seven of the Premier League after a string of impressive results, including a recent 1–1 draw against leaders Arsenal. Manager Keith Andrews oversaw a comfortable 2–0 victory over Sheffield Wednesday in the third round to reach this stage. Notably, there are 122 league places between these two sides. A victory tonight would see Brentford reach the fifth round for only the second time in nearly two decades.

Brentford Team News

Keith Andrews navigates a demanding schedule that necessitates rotation. Notably, he is likely to name talisman Igor Thiago among the substitutes to preserve fitness. Consequently, 19-year-old Kaye Furo is poised to lead the attack. This could mark his professional debut. Nathan Collins returns to the heart of the defence after a period on the bench. Conversely, Kevin Schade misses out through suspension. Long-term absentees Fábio Carvalho and Josh Dasilva also remain unavailable.

Hakon Valdimarsson starts in goal. He provides Caoimhín Kelleher a well-earned rest after recent Premier League heroics. Nathan Collins partners Ethan Pinnock in a formidable central defensive pairing. In midfield, Yehor Yarmolyuk and Jordan Henderson control the tempo alongside Mikkel Damsgaard. Further forward, Romelle Donovan and Reiss Nelson provide the threat from wide areas. Notably, Brentford have never faced non-league opposition as a top-flight side in the FA Cup.

Brentford Predicted Lineup

Brentford predicted XI: Valdimarsson; Hickey, Collins, Pinnock, Henry; Yarmolyuk, Henderson, Damsgaard; Donovan, Furo, Nelson

When will the match kick off?

The FA Cup fourth-round tie takes place at the Leasing.com Stadium on Monday, 16 February 2026. Kick-off is scheduled for 19:30 GMT.

How to Watch Macclesfield vs Brentford?

The match will be broadcast live in the UK on TNT Sports 1 and TNT Sports Ultimate. Coverage begins at 19:00 GMT.
