Poland suspends soccer player Repos for contracting with a Russian club

5:36 pmPolish footballer Maciej Repos is no longer welcome in his country’s football squad at the moment because he recently signed a contract with Russian club Spartak Moscow. So the defender will almost certainly be missing later this year at the World Championships in Qatar.

Rybus played for the Lokomotiv Moscow team for several years, but moved to another club in the capital on a free transfer. And then the national team coach Czeslav Michenewicz announced that he was in the process of excluding the player from the selection. “Given the current situation, I will not invite him to our training camp in September. When it comes to choosing the World Cup, I don’t take it into account either.”

Given the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the Polish Federation does not consider it appropriate to play football in Russia at this time.

Kohlschreiber bid farewell

4.39 pm: Philip Kohlschreiber announced his retirement. The German tennis player is ending his long career at the latest at Wimbledon. The end of his career may already be imminent: Kohlschreiber still has to qualify for the main tournament of the Grand Slam in London.

On Monday, he won his first qualifying round, defeating Frenchman Gregoire Paré in consecutive rounds (6-2 and 6-2). To reach the Wimbledon main draw, Kohlschreiber, who is 230th in the world rankings, must win three matches. Wimbledon kicks off on June 27. “I’m happy to play another match here and maybe qualify for the main tournament,” Kohlschreiber said. “I will try to enjoy every game. Maybe the last breath will last for a very long time, we will see.”

Kohlschreiber won eight titles during his career, including three on clay in Munich and once on grass in Halle. In 2012, he reached the quarter-finals at Wimbledon. That year he was 16th in the world ranking. “It has been an amazing and wonderful career. It has been a long journey and I have great memories,” he said as he looked forward to his passing.

In the second round of qualifying, Marchenko will face the winner of the match between Jason Jung of Taiwan and Austrian Philip Misulic. To get to the main tournament, three matches must be won.

A year ago he had already won the Omloop Het Nieuwsblad in his home country. Stuyven’s reaction to the contract extension “The fact that I’ve been with this team for so long proves how at home I feel here”. “We’ve already had beautiful moments together and I want to add a few things to that in the years to come.”

According to team manager Luca Guercilena, winning a stage in the Tour de France is one of Stuyven’s main goals. “I’m looking forward to seeing him fight for that next month,” Guerselina said.
