Lamine Yamal's injury opens up the race for the Zarra trophy, with Barcelona star as a candidate.
The Cleveland Browns are considering trading either Cedric Tillman or Jerry Jeudy following their recent draft picks. Cedric Tillman is seen as the more likely candidate for a trade as the team evaluates its crowded wide receiver room.

The Cleveland Browns may just keep their entire wide receiver room intact.
It's more crowded now after the early draft picks of KC Concepcion and Denzel Boston, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing.
An offense with Shedeur Sanders at the helm could probably use all the help on the outside that it can get. Even if it's Deshaun Watson starting, the more competent targets the better.
But if the Browns want to make a trade after those two picks, they'll likely have to choose between Cedric Tillman and Jerry Jeudy.
The reality is that Tillman makes more sense as a trade candidate.

That's because Tillman is entering the final year of his contract. If the Browns do nothing, he'll be a free agent at the end of the year.
Sure, Cleveland could have re-signing Tillman in its plans, and if that's the idea, maybe the Browns should even get such a deal done as an extension this summer.
But if the Browns plan to hand their receiving leadership over to these youngsters sooner rather than later, Tillman may be on the way out anyway. And that could make him a prime trade candidate to a contender who wants someone with some talent but not a long-term commitment.
Jeudy has another year under contract beyond this one, and with a small base salary that makes keeping him around very tolerable.
Another team might actually want Jeudy's two years of usefulness over Tillman's one, but from the Browns' perspective, trading away the guy about to be a free agent is probably the move that would make more sense in the end.
The Browns are evaluating their crowded wide receiver room and may trade Tillman to make space after drafting KC Concepcion and Denzel Boston.
Cedric Tillman is considered more likely to be traded than Jerry Jeudy as the Browns assess their roster options.
Trading Cedric Tillman could affect the Browns' offensive depth, especially with Shedeur Sanders or Deshaun Watson as the quarterback, necessitating competent targets.
