UEFA awards: Lewandowski, Bayern dominate annual honors

In addition to the groups for the 2020-21 Champions League campaign, UEFA revealed the recipients of a bevy of season-ending awards during Thursday’s ceremony in Geneva. Here are the winners of the various honors.

Men’s Player of the Year

Robert Lewandowski (Bayern Munich)

The presumptive Ballon d’Or favorite prior to the scrapping of the 2020 installment, Robert Lewandowski capped a brilliant campaign by leading Bayern Munich to a Champions League title. The Polish international became one of only two players to capture a treble while leading all three competitions in scoring.

Women’s Player of the Year

Pernille Harder (Wolfsburg)

Danish international forward Pernille Harder topped all scorers in the Champions League with nine goals as Wolfsburg lost to Lyon in the final. Harder also became the world’s most expensive female footballer when she joined Chelsea in September for a reported €300,000 fee.

Men’s Coach of the Year

Hansi Flick (Bayern Munich)

From caretaker boss following Niko Kovac’s sacking to full-time manager and treble winner, Hansi Flick enjoyed a remarkable term with Bayern. Under Flick, the Bundesliga behemoths went on a torrid spell that included victories in 32 of 35 matches, the best points-per-match ratio in club history.

Women’s Coach of the Year

Jean-Luc Vasseur (Lyon)

Lyon gaffer Jean-Luc Vasseur’s first season in the charge of the club was near-infallible: Les Fenottes notched a record 14th French League title on the spin and a record seventh Champions League conquest.

Goalkeeper of the Season

  • Men: Manuel Neuer (Bayern Munich)
  • Women: Sarah Bouhaddi (Lyon)

Bayern’s Manuel Neuer unsurprisingly earned the distinction after playing a key role in the club’s Champions League crowning. It was the same for Lyon shot-stopper Sarah Bouhaddi, who won her seventh Champions League with the French giants this past season.

Defender of the Season

  • Men: Joshua Kimmich (Bayern Munich)
  • Women: Wendie Renard (Lyon)

Joshua Kimmich captured this award despite playing most of the campaign as a defensive midfielder for treble winners Bayern. Goal-scoring Lyon center-back Wendie Renard earned recognition after winning a seventh European Cup and 14th French League title.

Midfielder of the Season

  • Men: Kevin De Bruyne (Manchester City)
  • Women: Dzsenifer Maroszan (Lyon)

Manchester City talisman Kevin De Bruyne became the third Premier League player to earn this award, joining David Beckham and Frank Lampard. Germany star and Lyon playmaker Dzsenifer Marozsan took home her latest individual honor as Lyon added to their impressive haul.

Forward of the Season

  • Men: Robert Lewandowski (Bayern Munich)
  • Women: Pernille Harder (Wolfsburg)

Lewandowski led both the Bundesliga and the Champions League in goals in 2019-20, while Harder won the women’s award after achieving the same feat with Wolfsburg.

UEFA also honored Chelsea and Ivory Coast legend Didier Drogba with the President’s Award as part of Thursday’s festivities. The award is bestowed annually to a person involved in football who has contributed to the advancement and excellence of the sport.

LT Peters goes on IR in Eagles' latest O-line hit

Philadelphia Eagles left tackle Jason Peters has been placed on injured reserve with a foot injury, the team announced Saturday.

Peters was out earlier this week with an illness. A source said Peters developed toe discomfort later in the week.

The Eagles are already without Brandon Brooks and Andre Dillard, leaving them very thin on the offensive line.

Lane Johnson is dealing with a high ankle sprain that required surgery this summer, but he is expected to play Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers.

Jordan Mailata, Matt Pryor and Jack Driscoll are among the options to replace Peters at left tackle. Philadelphia will start its fourth offensive line combination in four games on Sunday.

The Eagles also placed backup cornerback Trevor Williams (ribs) on injured reserve and signed wide receiver Travis Fulgham, center Luke Juriga and running back Adrian Killins to the active roster from the practice squad.

ESPN’s Tim McManus contributed to this report.

Report: Record PSG scorer Cavani agrees to join Manchester United

Former Paris Saint-Germain striker Edinson Cavani – without a club since leaving the French champions in the summer – has agreed to terms on a two-year contract with Manchester United, according to The Guardian’s Fabrizio Romano.

The free transfer will reportedly be finalized once Cavani’s agent comes to an agreement on commission. His representative is apparently asking for €10 million to complete the deal.

Cavani, who scored a record 200 goals for PSG in seven prolific seasons, departed at the end of his contract in June. A number of clubs – including Juventus, Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid, and Benfica – were linked with the 33-year-old in recent months, but his high wage demands proved to be an obstacle.

He was reportedly seeking a long-term deal worth €10 million per season. It remains to be seen how much he’ll be making at Old Trafford.

Cavani could make his debut for the club in the Champions League against PSG. The two sides face each other Oct. 20.

United turned to Cavani after negotiations ended for Borussia Dortmund winger Jadon Sancho. United were reportedly unwilling to meet Dortmund’s €120-million asking price for the English international.

Manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said Friday he was content with the depth in his squad, but the club clearly wanted another option at the forward position. Marcus Rashford, Anthony Martial, Mason Greenwood, and Odion Ighalo carried the load last season.

Midfielder Donny van de Beek is the Red Devils’ only other signing this summer.

WR Thomas among 6 Saints starters ruled out

METAIRIE, La. — Receiver Michael Thomas won’t return from his ankle injury this week. He was one of six New Orleans Saints starters ruled out for Sunday’s game at Detroit.

The Saints will also be without both of their starting cornerbacks, Marshon Lattimore (hamstring) and Janoris Jenkins (shoulder), tight end Jared Cook (groin), guard Andrus Peat (ankle) and defensive end Marcus Davenport (elbow/toe).

Thomas, who has been sidelined with a high ankle sprain since Week 1, returned to practice this week and practiced on a limited basis every day. But the Saints apparently don’t want to rush him back into game action. It’s unclear whether he will be ready to play in Week 5, when the Saints host the Los Angeles Chargers on Monday Night Football. They have a bye in Week 6.
