News about Sam Johnstone

IF there's any justice in the world, Jack Butland will be named in Gareth Southgate's England squad on Tuesday and secure himself a place on the plane to Germany for the Euros. The Rangers goalkeeper ought to have been involved in the Three Lions' double-header with Brazil and Belgium in March. It was a hammer blow when he was left out in favour of Crystal Palace's Sam Johnstone and the lesser-spotted Aaron Ramsdale of Arsenal - and a full-on thumb in the eye when Burnley's James Trafford, just dropped by club boss Vincent Kompany, was drafted in ahead of him after Johnstone had gone down with an elbow injury.

Exclusive BY SAM MOKBEL: In news that arrives as a major blow to head coach Gareth Southgate, England's first injury casualty ahead of the tournament. This season, Johnstone's stellar performances for the Selhurst Park club pushed him to be a virtual certainty in Southgate's final squad for Germany this summer, a tournament in which Jordan Pickford's understudy had ruled.

SAMI MOKBEL KOMBLEY: After a spirited friendly, Jude Bellingham earned an impressive England a 2-2 draw with Belgium on Tuesday. After a missed clearance by England keeper Jordan Pickford, he scored in the 11th minute, with Ivan Toney equalizing with a penalty shortly after his first international appearance. England, who was unrecognizable in its approach from Brazil on Saturday, had a Jarrod Bowen goal called out for offside and gave Tielemans more chances until another defensive mistake allowed them to regain the lead with a diving header late in the first half following a beautiful cross by Romelu Lukaku.

SAMI MOKBEL: With the elbow injury that caused him to leave the current squad, England goalkeeper Sam Johnstone is in danger of missing Euro 2024. The Crystal Palace shot-stopper is seeing a consultant to determine the severity of the threat. Surgery is not being ruled out, and if Johnstone requires an operation, he will almost certainly miss the European Championships.

JACK GAUGHAN: Since receiving a surprise call-up, James Trafford has been able to recover from the blow of losing his Burnley home. Until Vincent Kompany dropped him for Muric ahead of the recent victory over Brentford, the 21-year-old had started every Premier League game, conceding 62 goals. After Sam Johnstone's withdrawal, Gareth Southgate has still selected Trafford ahead of England's friendly against Belgium. Lee Carsley, the Under-21 manager, said that the goalkeeper had the energy to deal with the setback at club level.

On Sunday night, England announced that Johnstone was one of a trio of pull-outs, including Harry Maguire and Kyle Walker, ahead of Tuesday's match against Belgium at Wembley Stadium. The Football Association did not disclose the nature or severity of the injuries at the time; it was only that the three players would return to their respective clubs.

James Trafford, a goalkeeper for Burnley, has been called up to the England senior squad for the England's friendly against Belgium on Tuesday. According to Mail Sport, the stopper will be brought on as a replacement for Sam Johnstone. Trafford was suspended for the first time this season, only Burnley's first player to play in every minute of every league game.

HENRY CLARK AT SELHURST PARK: There was a small difference in Luton's favour when they were slipping toward a loss that would have widened the chasm between them and the majority of the pack in and around the relegation zone. It was Cauley Woodrow, who had to stoppage time, who saved the point for the visitors. The one that halted a string of three straight league defeats and showed that the fight for survival has just a few rounds to play.

Johnstone, who was recalled in goal for Everton's draw on Monday, wants to keep his place in Glasner's first game in charge against Burnley on Saturday. 'It's sad to see Roy leave and the way it happened, but we're excited to see a new manager step in,' said Johnstone. This week, 'He (Glasner) will be in this week, and we're all excited for the new direction, which will bring new innovative thoughts.' He'll print his own book on the team, and hopefully that will help us all get to the table.'

JOE BERNSTEIN AT GOODISON PARK: Jordan Ayew's spectacular strike gave new Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner something to celebrate before Amadou Onana's late header saved Everton and helped them escape from the relegation zone. During a viewing brief, Ayew's moment of quality midway through the second half was out of syncation with the rest of the mundanity, with two struggling teams providing two struggling sides and a Glasner smiling up in the directors' box. However, the fog at Goodison Park was lifted six minutes from time by a superb Palace goalkeeper Sam Johnstone, who missed his punch at Dwight McNeil's corner, and replacement Onana could not miss a few yards.

Expected goals, or xG, have become one of the Premier League's most popular buzzwords, but some goalkeepers are better at preventing them than others. Although Liverpool may be two points clear at the top of the Premier League table with 14 games remaining, Alisson is not at the top of the table for xG saved, according to the reports. And while Everton, Burnley, and Sheffield United have all made it to the relegation ranks, it is a team with the goalkeeper who has made the fewest saves relative to the xG that has faced between the sticks.

SIMON JONES: Nottingham Forest has agreed to a €5.5 million contract for Belgium goalkeeper Matz Sels from Strasbourg. Forest has been considering a £15 million contract for Crystal Palace's Sam Johnstone, as well as a one for Real Betis stopper Rui Silva.

SAMI MOKBEL: Nottingham Forest will try to find a new goalkeeper this morning with Strasbourg goalkeeper Matz Sels as one of the top candidates on their radar. Forest have expressed concern with Strasbourg over a deadline day swap for Sels, while Palace keeper Sam Johnstone is also concerned with Nuno Espirito Santo. Sels, a Belgium international, is planning to transfer to the City Ground, where it will cost less than Johnstone, who Palace is trying to recover £15 million for.

Forest has confirmed the signing of Gio Reyna from Borussia Dortmund on loan until the end of the season. Forest announced on the club's website that Reyna would wear the number 20 shirt during his time in the East Midlands. Forest will pay Reyna's wages for the remainder of his service at the City Ground, and no option is included in the contract.

Since being turned down earlier this week, Nottingham Forest goalkeeper Sam Johnstone has revived negotiations with Crystal Palace for goalkeeper Sam Johnstone. Forest is negotiating a £15 million contract for 30-year-old Johnstone, who is keen on moving to boost his odds of returning to the England squad. Since winning his senior international debut in 2021, Johnstone has won four England caps, but he faces rivals in Jordan Pickford, Dean Henderson, Aaron Ramsdale, and Nick Pope for a spot in Gareth Southgate's squad this summer.

Simon Jones of Mail Sport gives us a detailed rundown of who players each of the Premier League clubs should expect to bring in this January. So many actors could be on their way out during next month's transfer window as well as the actresses who may be on their way out.

We'll be missing Roy Hodgson as he leaves the game. We'll miss his humanity, honesty, and humility; one of football's true gentleman. The antonym of what the game has become, judging, approachable, and amusing. However, don't be fooled; Hodgson's hardened side isn't lost. A nice guy can do it to a forty-seven years in management. Many that have been on the receiving end of Hodgson's tongue will testify to the other half of his character.

Chelsea will not be 'frightened' about meeting Crystal Palace at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday night, according to Roy Hodgson. Despite losing their last two games against Manchester City and Brighton, the Eagles are looking for their first victory in seven games. Palace hasn't defeated Chelsea in their last ten games, while Chelsea's Odsoune Edouard, Joel Ward, and Sam Johnstone have all been injured, and this game will be played.

Christmas Day has come and gone, and we now have a long way to go before the New Year and the start of the January transfer window. A number of Premier League sides are considering whether their ranks have the required depth to face in the second half of the season as injuries build up and a packed fixture list starts to take their toll. Following Sir Jim Ratcliffe's arrival at Old Trafford, which was announced on Christmas Eve, Manchester United could have a tumultuous month, particularly in terms of outgoings.

MATT BARLOW: Any threat from Aaron Ramsdale to Jordan Pickford as England No. 1 has diminished because he is unable to get a game at Arsenal, and Nick Pope, who was overlooked by Gareth Southgate despite his consistent brilliance at Newcastle United, dislocated a shoulder on Saturday. Dean Henderson has barely played in 2023 due to injuries, and, although he is nearing full fitness once more, any return would dislodge Sam Johnstone from the team at Crystal Palace.

Onana made two shocking mistakes that allowed Galatasaray to recover twice from two-goal deficits to a 3-3 draw, leaving Erik ten Hag's team last place with just one game remaining to play. United has now conceded 14 goals in five Champions League games, with Onana making a string of mistakes even before the draw with Galatasaray. Despite this, no keeper has kept more clean sheets in the Premier League than Onana, who sits joint top with Crystal Palace's Sam Johnstone and Newcastle's Nick Pope.

On Instagram, the former Man United defender said, 'that's levels... get me in there' with fire emojis.' The national team is hard at work preparing for the Euro qualifier against Malta on Friday night. In the viral video showcasing their quick passing skills, young Rico Lewis and Cole Palmer can be seen. The unfortunate souls in the middle of the circle were Kyle Walker and goalkeeper Sam Johnstone as the ball was passed around them. One fan wrote about X: "Type of thing we used to see Barcelona doing and being in awe of, now our national team is doing it.' It's crazy.'

Ten Hag now has two home games against Galataray and then Brentford on Saturday to get his team back to normal, in the midst of a turbulent season, and keep the crisis from spiraling out of control. United has off their worst start since Sir Alex Ferguson was struggling to save his career 34 years ago. Ten Hag has been put into jeopardy after four losses in the first seven Premier League games.
