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'...

Stocks and dollar end 2024 steady, 2025 all about Trump

By Ankur Banerjee and Alun John SINGAPORE/LONDON () -World stocks held steady on Tuesday in cautious year-end trading that has seen investors bracing for the incoming Donald Trump administration by scaling back bets on deep U.S. interest rate cuts in 2025, helping the dollar stand tall against most other currencies. Volumes were light with a holiday for the New Year looming, with the Santa-rally largely failing to materialise as elevated Treasury yields weigh on high equity valuations and boost the greenback. MSCI's world share index was flat on the day, but set to wrap up 2025 with a 16% annual gain. This year's rally has been largely a U.S. phenomenon, with the having risen around 24% compared with an 8% gain for MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan, and just 5% for Europe's . () But the mood latterly has been more cautious on the back of higher U.S. Treasury yields. The yield on the 10-year note reached 4.64% late last week, its highest...
