Football transfer news: Chelsea monitor Durán and Calvert-Lewin before deadline – live | Transfer window


Key events

News on a summer signing, bad news, actually. Brighton signed Matt O’Reilly only for his to get injured in the opening minutes of his debut against Crawley. Fabian Hurzeler speaks: “It’s a bad injury, he needs ankle surgery and I can’t say how long he’s out. We will support him and try to get him back fast on the pitch. He’s a good character, and is a really positive guy. It’s really important to stay mentality strong and I am certain he will come back stronger from this.”
