Manchester United defensive midfielder Casemiro could reportedly still have a future at the club beyond the end of his contract next summer. In a surprise U-turn, it now seems that Man Utd manager Ruben Amorim is open to keeping Casemiro at Old Trafford for a while longer as he's become a key player for the team.

The happiest news concerns Jashari, who was sidelined two months ago after suffering a compound fracture of his right fibula following a training collision with Gimenez. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the Swiss will fully rejoin the squad for training on Thursday and will therefore potentially be available to be called up for the game against Roma at San Siro on Sunday night.

After being sidelined for the start of the Bundesliga with a bout of appendicitis, Tom Bischof has made his first start for Bayern Munich in the league and boy did he hit the ground running. The 20-year-old put on a mature display, anchoring the midfield and picking up an assist for Konrad Laimer's 87th minute strike - Bayern's fourth goal of the evening.

Barkley has had something of an up-and-down career down the years and it's now unclear what the future could hold for him. The 31-year-old started out as a real wonderkid in his Everton days, but struggled when he later earned a big move to Chelsea. Since then, Barkley has occasionally shown signs of reviving his career in spells with Luton Town and Aston Villa, but he's now fallen down the pecking order in Unai Emery's squad again.

Let the one who said there was a scandal explain. Do you think that if he had any problems, he would have been in the squad? After his injury, he played one of his strongest matches for the national team. Understand me as you wish. I said what I said. The important thing is that every profession is difficult, but especially ours is public. Despite the efforts made, you are still the most guilty of something.
