Martinez wants to leave Manchester United in the summer

Manchester United defender Lisandro Martinez is reported to want to leave the club on a free transfer in the summer. According to The Sun, Atletico Madrid is interested in the Argentine player. Reports in The Mirror also included claims that Man Utd players were booed on the train to London before the Chelsea match.

It was announced that Chelsea goalkeeper Emi Martinez's finger fracture has left his hand permanently deformed because he refused to have surgery. The player had refused the operation because he feared missing the World Cup. Young talent Estevao Willian is also reported to be bewildered by his limited playing time under Xabi Alonso, and to have told team-mates that there is a "crisis" at Chelsea. Maxence Lacroix may be out of action until January with a hamstring injury, it was reported.

According to The Times, there is unrest within the Everton management over bringing Jack Grealish back into the squad. The player was left out of the squad for the Carabao Cup match against Newcastle after he left without permission.

According to the Daily Record, former Aberdeen manager Jimmy Thelin is among the candidates for the vacant Sheffield Wednesday managerial post. The Scottish Sun reported that former Celtic recruitment chief Mark Lawwell has taken up a new role at Chelsea. Finally, former Celtic striker Pierre van Hooijdonk was cleared by NAC Breda's internal investigation into his son Sydney's January move to Estrela Amadora.
