“As a result, this morning he underwent diagnostic tests. The examinations revealed low-grade damage,” it added.
Juventus is fifth in the Italian table, one point behind Como in the final Champions League spot with seven games of the season to play.

Mar 27, 2026; Los Angeles, California, USA; Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto (18) is introduced to receive his World Series ring during a ceremony prior to the game against the Arizona Diamondbacks at Dodger Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Jayne Kamin-Oncea-Imagn Images There will be a rematch within a rematch Tuesday night when the visiting Los Angeles Dodgers go for another series victory against the Toronto Blue Jays.
The Dodgers won the opener of the three-game set 14-2 on Monday for their fourth straight win and the Blue Jays’ fifth consecutive loss.
The middle encounter of the series will feature a rematch of the starters from Game 6, also in Toronto, of the 2025 World Series, won by the Dodgers in seven games.
Toronto is scheduled to start Kevin Gausman (0-0, 0.75 ERA), while Los Angeles will start fellow right-hander Yoshinobu Yamamoto (1-1, 3.00).
Yamamoto earned the decision over Gausman last Oct. 31 in the World Series by allowing one run, five hits and one walk while striking out six in six innings. Gausman allowed three runs, three hits and two walks and struck out eight in six innings.
Yamamoto, who pitched a four-hit complete game in winning Game 2 of the Series, also tossed 2 2/3 innings of relief in Game 7 to earn his third win of the set. He was named World Series MVP.
The realization of what he was doing by following a start with a relief appearance the next day did not strike him until he started to warm up.
“To be honest, I wasn’t thinking about it until the moment I got up to the mound,” Yamamoto said before the game on Monday. “But as I was getting warmed up in the bullpen, it started getting real.”
Yamamoto has not faced Toronto in the regular season while Gausman is 2-3 with a 3.57 ERA in nine career regular-season games (eight starts) against the Dodgers.
The series opener on Monday had none of the drama that made the 2025 World Series a classic.
The Dodgers outhit the Blue Jays 17-5 and had two homers from Dalton Rushing and one each from Teoscar Hernandez, Freddie Freeman and Shohei Ohtani. Rushing reached base five times with four hits and a hit by pitch.
Both teams had position players pitch the ninth inning.
The Blue Jays have been working through injuries, and there was another issue on Monday when starting pitcher Max Scherzer left the game after allowing two runs in two innings. Manager John Schneider said the right-hander has been dealing with tendinitis in his right forearm but remained “fairly confident” that he could make his next start.·
“I don’t think it’s a major issue, just something that needs to be addressed,” Scherzer said. “My mind is that I’m going to be making my next start.”
Josh Fleming, promoted from Triple-A Buffalo on Monday, replaced him and allowed four runs in three innings. Austin Voth, who pitched in relief on Sunday, was designated for assignment to make room for Fleming.
The Toronto crowd booed when the lineups were announced before the game.
Dodgers starter Justin Wrobleski made four World Series appearances, including Game 7 when he hit Andres Gimenez with a pitch. He said he expected an unfavorable reception.
“Obviously, you don’t ever want to be booed, but in this scenario it’s OK,” he said. “They wouldn’t boo me if they didn’t know who I was. It was fun. They care about baseball here. It was a fun environment. I think if people weren’t a little upset and a little — I don’t know — passionate about what happened last year in the World Series, maybe they’re not real fans.”
Wrobleski allowed one run and two hits over five innings on Monday.

Apr 5, 2026; Chicago, Illinois, USA; Chicago Bulls head coach Billy Donovan directs his team against the Phoenix Suns during the second half at United Center. Mandatory Credit: Kamil Krzaczynski-Imagn Images The Chicago Bulls aren’t looking to move on from Billy Donovan. Now it’s up for Donovan to decide what his future holds.
Bulls CEO and president Michael Reinsdorf held a video call with media Tuesday and said the team’s next front office hires must be “sold” on Donovan as their coach.
“If I interview someone and they’re not sold on Billy, they’re not sold on a Hall of Fame coach,” Reinsdorf said, “they’re not sold on a person who’s won championships in college, who’s gone deep in the playoffs with Oklahoma City. … If Billy wants to be our coach and someone’s not interested in that, then they’re probably not the right candidate for us.”
The “if” is the key. Reinsdorf said Donovan is scheduled to meet with ownership to discuss his future on Monday, the day after the team’s season finale against the Dallas Mavericks.
Donovan, a two-time NCAA champion at Florida (2006, 2007), had been linked to the opening at North Carolina, but ex-Denver Nuggets coach Michael Malone was officially hired there Tuesday.
The Bulls fired executive vice president of basketball operations Arturas Karnisovas and general manager Marc Eversley on Monday. Reinsdorf said he wanted Donovan to have a greater voice in team-building.
“We’d be crazy not to want Billy’s input in player acquisition from players around the league,” Reinsdorf said. “He’s an NBA coach, he coaches against these guys. Some of these guys he’s already coached. Billy will be involved and will be encouraged … I’ll probably push Billy to be more involved.”
In fact, Reinsdorf entertained the idea of Donovan moving into the front office himself, but clarified that Donovan had not raised that possibility.
“If he came to me and said, ‘Hey, I may want to do a Brad Stevens situation,’ I would sit down and listen to Billy,” Reinsdorf said, referencing the former coach of the Boston Celtics who moved into their president of basketball operations position. “I don’t think that’s where his head’s at. I don’t think Billy cares about titles. Billy cares about being a head coach, and he cares about the players and cares about the organization.”
Donovan, who turns 61 in May, has coached the Bulls since 2020-21 but guided them to just one playoff appearance. They lost to the Miami Heat in the play-in round in each of the past three years.
Chicago, long eliminated from playoff contention, entered Tuesday’s game at the Washington Wizards at 29-49 and on a seven-game slide. Donovan addressed reporters before the game and said he appreciated Reinsdorf’s belief in him.
“I’ve always believed this: The room is smarter than any individual and there are a lot of smart people in that room,” Donovan said. “I think if we can put our heads together and figure out how do we get to that? I don’t have all the answers to those things. I just know the last four years, we have not won at a high level. I want to win at a high level. I want to be a part of that. I think the organization deserves that, I think everyone in the organization wants that, and then everybody has got to put their heads together and figure out, ‘How do we go about doing that?'”

India will take on Chinese Taipei in its final Group C fixture of the AFC Under-20 Women’s Asian Cup 2026 on Wednesday.
After defeats in their opening two matches against Japan and Australia, both India and Chinese Taipei find themselves in identical situations, chasing a result that could yet keep their tournament alive.
India’s goal difference of -11 makes things a bit more complicated than Chinese Taipei’s -7. The Young Tigresses’ hopes of reaching the knockout stage for the first time since 2004 rest on securing a place among the two best third-placed teams across all groups.
Their task will be simplified if either the Group A match between Vietnam and Bangladesh on Tuesday or the Group B match between Uzbekistan and Jordan on Wednesday ends in a draw. In that case, the winner of India vs Chinese Taipei will qualify for the quarterfinals, regardless of goal difference.
But if there is a winner in both those games, India would need to win by a handsome margin to avoid being the worst-ranked third-placed side in the three groups. At the moment, the goal differences of the other teams are – Bangladesh (-3), Vietnam (-6), Uzbekistan (-8) and Jordan (-9).

The pair of Dhruv Kapila and Tanisha Crasto kept India’s mixed doubles challenge at the Badminton Asia Championships 2026 with two other duos from the country bowing out in the opening round in Ningbo, China on Tuesday.
Kapila and Crasto outlasted Thailand’s Phuwanat Horbanluekit and Benyapa Aimsaard, beating them 21-14, 11-21, 21-15 in a three-game thriller which lasted 51 minutes.
In another match, Rohan Kapoor and Gadde Ruthvika Shivani went down fighting against Malaysia’s eighth seeds Goh Soon Huat and Lai Shevon Jemie 13-21, 19-21 in a 34-minute contest at the Ningbo Olympic Centre.
The Indian duo struggled to find rhythm early on, conceding the first game comfortably, but showed signs of resistance in the second before the experienced Malaysian combination shut the door in straight games.
Meanwhile, Ashith Surya and Amrutha Pramuthesh also failed to cross the opening hurdle, losing 16-21, 15-21 to Malaysia’s Wong Tien Ci and Lim Chiew Sien in 31 minutes.
The Indian pair fought hard but was unable to sustain pressure at crucial junctures against their steady opponents.
The focus will shift to singles competition on Wednesday with India’s top stars, including P. V. Sindhu and Lakshya Sen, set to begin their campaigns.
