Brazil-Argentina qualifier suspended after health officials enter pitch
Barcelona could be made to look foolish by allowing Emerson Royal to join Tottenham this summer. Sergino Dest was forced off in USA’s clash with Canada at the weekend and the Catalan giants could now be short of options at right-back.

But the 20-year-old went down clutching his ankle during his country’s World Cup qualifier with Canada on Sunday and was forced off just before half time.
Barca chiefs will be hoping the injury isn’t a serious one and that Dent can return to action sooner rather than later.
If not, boss Ronald Koeman may have to have a serious rethink and may even be forced to change his formation away from his preferred 3-5-2 to cater for his lack of options in the right wing-back position.
Oscar Mingueza could be given the nod, but was preferred in a centre-back role last season and doesn’t excel going forward.
