Europa League preview

Tottenham host Rubin Kazan in Europa League action on Thursday with Spurs looking to bounce back from their 2-2 draw with Newcastle at the weekend.

After defensive frailties let the Premier League side down once again on their trip to Newcastle, Harry Redknapp's team will need to curtail Rubin's former Newcastle striker Obafemi Martins if they are to claim the 3 points from the Russian outfit at White Hart Lane.

Spurs and Rubin are tied on top of Group A with 4 points each with Rubin ahead on goal difference.

Martins has proved somewhat of a thorn in Tottenham's side, having scored in his first 4 games against the club for Newcastle - all of them wins.

Greek side PAOK play host to Shamrock Rovers in the other Group A fixture.

Group I leaders Atletico Madrid travel away to take on Serie A side Udinese as both sides battle for top spot with 4 points each.

The Spanish club will be looking to Brazilian midfielder Diego to pull the strings with the side hosting what should prove to be one of the matches of the round.

Scottish giants Celtic travel across the channel to take on Rennes in the group's other match with both clubs only managing to pick up a point so far in their respective campaigns.

AEK Athens travel north to battle Lokomotiv Moscow in Group L without striker Eidur Gudjonsen, who broke his leg against Olympiacos on Saturday.

AEK have no points so far and new coach Nikos Kostenoglou must steel his men for a rough night as Lokomotiv attempt to seal qualification and continue their formidable record at home.

Gurpegi facing 6-month lay-off

Athletic Bilbao have lost midfielder Carlos Gurpegi for the rest of their Europa League campaign after the 31-year-old tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee.

A half-time substitute during the 1-1 draw at Mestalla on Sunday, Gurpegi - who had captained Athletic to a 2-1 Group F victory away to Slovan Bratislava on matchday 1 - lasted just 15 minutes before suffering the injury which, following surgery, can require a recovery period of about 6 months.

Marcelo Bielsa's side lead their Europa League group after taking 7 points from 3 games.

They next face FC Salzburg in Austria on 3 November before concluding their Group F programme against Paris Saint-Germain and Slovan.

Hilbert to miss Braga ties

Besiktas will be without Roberto Hilbert for both of their Europa League round of 32 encounters against Sporting Braga this month after the German midfielder sustained a torn hamstring in league action.

Hilbert was substituted midway through the first half of the Istanbul outfit's 1-0 Turkish Super Lig defeat by Mersin Idmanyurdu on Thursday and scans have revealed the 27-year-old has partially torn his left hamstring - an injury that club doctor Devrim Urgun has confirmed could take up to 8 weeks to clear up.

The news will come as a blow to Besiktas as Hilbert has missed just one of their Europa League matches to date and scored the opening goal in the 2-1 defeat by Stoke City last September.

Olympiacos lose Pantelic

Marko Pantelic will miss the rest of the season after the Olympiacos striker fractured an ankle.

The 33-year-old suffered the injury during training and underwent surgery on Friday afternoon. The club's medical staff confirmed the Serbian international will require 10 weeks to recover, ruling him out of the remainder of their Europa League campaign and their quest for a domestic double.

Pantelic, who has 10 goals from his 43 international appearances, is the third highest scorer in the Greek Super League this term having struck 10 times in 12 matches.

Olympiacos host Rubin Kazan on Thursday holding a 1-0 advantage from the first leg of their Europa League round of 32 tie.

Schalke lose Unnerstall

Schalke goalkeeper Lars Unnerstall looks set to be out of action for several weeks after suffering a shoulder injury on Sunday.

Unnerstall sustained the problem in a collision with Mario Mandzukic during Schalke's 4-0 Bundesliga win against VfL Wolfsburg.

Huub Stevens is already without first choice 'keeper Ralf Fahrmann because of a ruptured cruciate ligament and is now likely to turn to Timo Hildebrand to fill the void between the posts.

Hildebrand came on for the second half against Wolfsburg to make his Schalke league debut, having joined last October. His only previous appearance for the club came on Europa League matchday 6 and he could be back on European duty for Thursday's round of 32 second leg at home to Viktoria Plzen.

Diego misses Lazio return

Atletico Madrid must make without the playmaking skills of Diego for Thursday's Europa League round of 32 second leg encounter with Lazio after the Brazilian sustained a torn thigh muscle.

The 26-year-old, who is currently on loan from VfL Wolfsburg, suffered the injury in the 62nd minute of Atletico's 1-1 La Liga draw at Sporting Gijon on Sunday and will undergo further tests to determine whether or not he will be fit to feature against FC Barcelona this weekend.

Diego, who has made 20 Spanish top flight appearances for Atletico, set up Falcao to score the second goal during their 3-1 first leg win in Rome last week and, having registered twice in 7 Europa League outings so far this term, will be missed by coach Diego Simeone in the Vicente Calderon return.

Digi cumpără şi drepturile pentru Europa League

Digi Sport investeşte masiv în drepturile TV pentru competiţii sportive şi se pregăteşte de un adevărat monopol. Surse din media spun că trustul patronat de Zoltan Teszari a făcut o ofertă de nerefuzat pentru achiziţionarea Europa League din sezonul viitor.

În 2009, PRO TV a plătit €30 de milioane pentru a avea drepturile Europa League pe 3 sezoane. Acum, sursele gsp spun că RCS&RDS a propus 20 de milioane pe sezon, adică dublul preţului precedent obţinut de UEFA, ceea ce face ca Digi Sport să nu aibă contracandidat.

Revista Forbes scria anul trecut că investiţia în Europa League n-a fost deloc profitabilă pentru trustul PRO, care ar fi încasat din publicitate cel mult €1 milion pe sezon.

Cele 3 posturi de sport ale RCS&RDS transmit acum cele mai tari competiţii sportive: campionatele de fotbal din Spania, Italia, Anglia, Franţa, ligile de baschet, handbal, hochei, polo şi volei, Formula 1 şi Moto GP, numeroase turnee de tenis şi meciuri de box, competiţii de judo, atletism, gimnastică, rugby.

Surse din piaţă spun că RCS&RDS va participa şi la licitaţia pentru următoarele ediţii de Liga Campionilor, sezonul în curs fiind ultimul din pachetul cumpărat de TVR.

Daca ar mai refuza din banii de la Gigi si nu ar mai da Steaua tot timpul pe post ar fi si mai bine.
