Matheus Nunes will not be involved in Wolves’ Carabao Cup tie at home to Blackpool on Tuesday after he stopped training with the club in an effort to force through a move to Manchester City. Premier League champions City stepped up their pursuit of Nunes after cooling their interest in West Ham’s Lucas Paqueta, and had a bid of 55million euros (£47m) rejected last week for the Portuguese attacker. While Wolves have not received any fresh bids from City, Nunes has now stopped training with Gary O’Neil’s side, the PA news agency understands. The 25-year-old, who joined from Sporting Lisbon last summer in a deal worth £42m, was absent for Saturday’s 1-0 win away to Everton and will again be missing from the squad for the upcoming second-round cup tie at Molineux. Nunes will face disciplinary action for his decision to stop training, but could be integrated back into the squad if no move occurs before the summer transfer window shuts at 11pm on Friday. Head coach O’Neil will also be without Hwang Hee-chan for the clash with Blackpool, who are 15th in Sky Bet League One, due to a hamstring issue. Austria forward Sasa Kalajdzic scored a late winner at Everton in what was only his third Wolves appearance in a year after suffering a rupture to his anterior cruciate ligament on his debut last September. But O’Neil, who took charge earlier this month, remains cautious over Kalajdzic’s involvement and says his role will remain limited as he builds his way back to full fitness. He said: “He is obviously still on a journey, getting back to full fitness. He is not one you can play for 90 minutes week in, week out at this moment. “It is hard to assess when you come in new. You just see him training and everyone tells you he has been out for a while. “You just try to judge him at that moment against the rest of that group and the ones he is competing with for a starting place. “He looked a little bit behind the others, sharpness and fitness-wise, but I obviously don’t have a clear picture in my mind of what he is like when he is full throttle either. “He understands where he needs to improve and that he needs extra time on the grass and we need to keep working. “But he also understands he can have a big impact on football matches still.” Read More Charity boss speaks out over ‘traumatic’ encounter with royal aide Ukraine war’s heaviest fight rages in east - follow live Getting over Wimbledon exit took time – Andy Murray Stacy Lewis picks Ally Ewing, Cheyenne Knight and Angel Yin for Solheim Cup Vinicius Jr facing lay-off after hamstring injury

Don’t mess with big Phil Neville, or you’ll get a very stern talking to. That’s what one reporter discovered to their cost during a recent Inter Miami press conference after getting told off by the former Manchester United player and coach. Neville was answering questions after a 3-1 defeat to Orlando Pride when he snapped at a journalist who spoke over him. “Can I finish speaking? Okay? I don’t interrupt your questions,” he said in the clip, which is doing the rounds on social media. Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter “Okay, so don’t interrupt mine. Show some f***ing respect.” Neville stopped the chatter and tried to compose himself to answer his previous question. “So, sorry for the language," he said. Losing his train of thought, he continued: "The…in the…sorry what was the question, please? Ask me the question again, please?" If you ever find yourself in a press conference with Phil, make sure you don't talk over him. Neville took over as manager at David Beckham’s US franchise two years ago. This season, they’re currently sitting two points off bottom-side Toronto in the Eastern Conference. After playing for Manchester United and Everton during his playing career, Neville managed England Women from 2018 to 2021 before taking over as Inter Miami CF boss in 2021. Inter Miami, owned by Beckham, was set up in 2018 and began playing in the MLS in 2020, before falling down to the Eastern Conference. It was recently reported that Inter Miami are attempting to lure one the biggest name in the game to the US, with the club allegedly willing to offer Lionel Messi an equity stake in the club to convince him to join this summer. However, the player's preference is to stay in Europe until the 2024 Copa America in order to try and win the Champions League one last time. Have your say in our news democracy.
