Giorgio Chiellini plans to retire from international football

The Italian defender Giorgio Chiellini will not be playing at the World Cup in 2022, as he has already announced his retirement from international duty. Chiellini, 38, has been with Juventus for 18 years, and is out injured for at least two months. He plans to retire in two years, but he might still have time to play at the Euro 2020 qualifiers. In the meantime, he hopes to make a full recovery and become a director for Juventus.

Bhaichung Chhetri calls it a career 'final frontier'

Bhaichung Chhetri calls the IPL his 'final frontier' after a stellar start to the season, which has included three hat-tricks and a hat-trick against the NorthEast United. In 2014-15, Chhetri topped the Mumbai City FC's all-time goalscorers list. While many deemed him a raw talent, Chhetri was a poacher, a player who knew when to rise to the occasion. His team-mate Vijayan was rated the best player in the league by Shabbir Ali, while Abhishek Yadav and Bhaichung ranked him third and fourth respectively.
