Vivianne Miedema: Manchester City forward may miss rest of season with hamstring injury

Manchester City forward Vivianne Miedema may miss the rest of the season because of a hamstring injury. The 28-year-old suffered the problem during the Netherlands' 3-1 defeat of Austria on Tuesday - just 15 minutes after she was introduced as a substitute. Miedema will miss City's Women's FA Cup semi-final against Manchester United on Sunday, and may not feature again in this campaign with only four Women's Super League matches remaining. "She's with the medical team, she's positive, we're positive, but it's not looking good in the sense of imminently being able to impact any of our games" said City interim boss Nick Cushing on Friday. "It's hugely disappointing for Viv because of the role she's played on the pitch, she's been so pivotal in the results.

"She's played a huge role in dragging this team up and she's still doing the same today in the meeting room and on the training pitch. "She's going to concentrate on her rehab now and we're going to give her all the support she needs." Miedema suffered a knee injury in October that required surgery and kept her sidelined for over three months. If fit she will likely be included in the Netherlands squad for Euro 2025, where they will face England, France and Wales in the group stage. City will also be without Jamaica striker Khadija Shaw, who has missed the last four games with a hamstring injury, for Sunday's derby encounter at their home Joie Stadium.

Cushing said German defender Rebecca Knaak and Japan forward Aoba Fujino have returned to training, along with long-term absentees Alex Greenwood and Lauren Hemp, but stressed City "can't afford" to rush them back.

Dollar set for best week since November on US rates, economic outlook

By Rae Wee SINGAPORE () -The dollar was on track for its best weekly performance in over a month on Friday, underpinned by expectations of fewer Federal Reserve rate cuts this year and the view that the U.S. economy will continue to outperform the rest of its peers globally. The greenback began the new year on a strong note reaching a more than two-year high of 109.54 against a basket of currencies on Thursday as it extended a stellar rally from last year. Its charge higher has come on the back of a more hawkish Fed and a resilient U.S. economy. "Looks like dollar strength is here to stay for now in early 2025 given the U.S. exceptionalism story is here to stay, and it still comes with high U.S. yields," said Charu Chanana, chief investment strategist at Saxo. "Add to that the uncertainty from policies of the incoming (Donald) Trump administration, and you also get the safety aspect of the dollar looking attractive." Ahead of U.S. President-elect Trump'...

Trump push to use tariffs to pay for tax cuts faces opposition in Congress

By Jarrett Renshaw, David Morgan and David Lawder WASHINGTON () - U.S. President Donald Trump is pushing a plan to explicitly use revenue from higher tariffs on imported goods to help pay for extending trillions of dollars in tax cuts, an unprecedented shift likely to face opposition from many of his fellow Republicans in Congress. The U.S. collects less than $100 billion annually in trade penalties imposed on imported goods as a tool to protect and grow domestic industries. That money is rarely a topic in Washington's routine budget battles because it makes up so little of the federal government's revenue.  Trump has threatened across-the-board import tariffs, but has yet to impose any. The president and his allies say he wants to use them much like the personal and corporate taxes that account for the vast majority of U.S. revenues, notching up tariffs to help pay for government programs and cover promised tax cuts.  "Instead of taxing our citizens to enrich other...
