Hungary assistant coach Adam Szalai said he was fine after collapsing and being rushed to hospital minutes after the start of his country's Nations League tie against the Netherlands in Amsterdam on Saturday.

Posting on social media, the former Bundesliga striker thanked supporters for their messages of support and said he was fine.

Szalai, 36, collapsed on the bench seven minutes into the match at the Johan Cruyff Stadium.

He could be seen lying on the ground next to the team's bench with his legs twitching, as staff and substitutes quickly formed a protective barrier around him.

The match was delayed for 13 minutes and Szalai was taken by ambulance to hospital.

"Adam is conscious, can talk and all is in order," coach Marco Rossi told the post-match news conference. "The referee asked us if we wanted to continue playing and my players said they did."

Hungary captain Dominik Szoboszlai gathered his players in a discussion on the pitch before they agreed to go on.

Szalai is a former captain of the Hungarian team and was appointed assistant coach earlier this year. He scored 26 goals in 86 international appearances for Hungary and had a lengthy club career in Germany at Mainz, Schalke 04 and Hoffenheim.

The Dutch won the match 4-0 to book a place in next March's Nations League quarterfinals.

The Premier League has paused for the final international break of 2024, but while the leading players are away representing their countries, the recruitment teams at the top clubs are drawing up plans for the January transfer window and plotting the moves that could transform or save their hopes and ambitions for the season.

Some clubs, including Liverpool and Chelsea who sit first and third respectively, are exceeding expectations, while Manchester City and Arsenal (second and fourth) are slightly off the pace in comparison to recent campaigns. Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur, meanwhile, are both marooned in midtable, with United firing manager Erik ten Hag last month and hiring Sporting CP coach Rúben Amorim in an attempt to rescue their season.

And while many clubs now view business in January as something to avoid due to a lack of available talent and the risk of a short-term deal becoming an expensive mistake, it remains an opportunity to sign a player who can make a crucial difference. Virgil van Dijk and Luis Suárez (both Liverpool), Bruno Fernandes (Manchester United), Martin Ødegaard (Arsenal) and Olivier Giroud (Chelsea) have all proved to be big successes after signing for their new clubs in the winter window.

So with January on the horizon, what do the Big Six clubs need to do, and which deals could make all the difference?

Liverpool

Premier League position: 1st
Summer spend: 41.5 million (according to Sky Sports)
Notable long-term injuries: Alisson Becker (goalkeeper), Federico Chiesa (forward), Harvey Elliott (midfielder)

Liverpool are well ahead of schedule under new coach Arne Slot, who has taken the team to the top of the Premier League and the Champions League tables despite no major additions to the squad he inherited from Jürgen Klopp.

Chiesa has registered just 78 minutes in all competitions since completing a 10m transfer from Juventus at the end of August. The 27-year-old Italy international, who has endured an injury-ravaged past three years, has done little to suggest he can make an impact in the second half of the season.

Liverpool tried and failed to negotiate a deal with Real Sociedad for Spain midfielder Martín Zubimendi, and Slot said at the time that the club would not pursue an alternative simply to make up the numbers, but with Liverpool going strong on all fronts so far, a renewed move for Zubimendi in January cannot be ruled out. Slot remains a big admirer of the 25-year-old, who could add depth and quality to the Anfield squad.

The ongoing uncertainty surrounding the futures of Van Dijk, Mohamed Salah and Trent Alexander-Arnold, who are all out of contract in the summer, might yet prove a distraction in the months ahead, and a resolution to all three situations would be a boost for Slot. However, a new midfielder should be the priority. Alexis Mac Allister, Ryan Gravenberch and Curtis Jones have done well this season, but now is the time to strengthen a crucial area of the squad.

Ideal January signing: Zubimendi. Liverpool know from the summer that it would be a tough deal to do and that they could face competition from Man City, but Slot's team would be making a move from a position of strength.

Manchester City

Premier League position: 2nd
Summer spend: 33.6m (according to Sky Sports)
Notable long-term injuries: Oscar Bobb (forward), Rodri (midfielder)

Man City are in uncharted territory right now, having lost four successive games for the first time since 2006, with Pep Guardiola never before having suffered that losing sequence as a manager. City are five points adrift of Liverpool, and there is uncertainty over Guardiola's future due to the former Barcelona and Bayern Munich coach so far choosing not to extend his contract, which expires in the summer.

On the pitch, the loss of defensive midfielder and Ballon d'Or winner Rodri has proved to be a hammer blow. The 28-year-old Spain international is out for the season after suffering an ACL injury in September and, without him, City have suddenly started to look vulnerable.

City's squad remains strong and deep, albeit with several key players now aged 30 or older, but there can be no escaping the reality that Rodri's injury has left a huge hole in the team. A move for Zubimendi, Liverpool's top target, would help solve the problem. Zubimendi is Rodri's understudy in the Spain team and is regarded as one of the best midfielders in Europe.

City's off-field battle against the 115 Premier League charges might make it impossible for them to do serious business in January. The reigning Premier League champions could win another stack load of trophies this season, but they could also be hit with a massive fine and points deduction if they lose the legal case -- they deny all charges -- so signing for City right now would a big risk for any player.

City have the money to do a deal for Zubimendi, but that might not be enough to make it happen.

Ideal January signing: Zubimendi. However, there might be too many obstacles for City to overcome to clinch a deal for the Real Sociedad midfielder.

Chelsea

Premier League position: 3rd
Summer spend: 219.6m (according to Sky Sports)
Notable long-term injuries: None

Maybe Chelsea's 1 billion spending spree wasn't so ridiculous after all. After two years of throwing money at the best young talent in football, it finally looks like it might have been money well spent. Enzo Maresca's team are in third place and showing signs of being title challengers. OK, perhaps that's a little premature -- Chelsea are only three points ahead of 10th-place Tottenham -- but Maresca has at least found a formula that proved elusive to predecessors Mauricio Pochettino, Frank Lampard and Graham Potter.

The former Leicester City coach has settled on a group of players and made some big calls on high-profile departures, most significantly Raheem Sterling's loan to Arsenal, but Chelsea are still troubled by inconsistency. They are riding high, but they have won two and drawn three of their past six league games, so their progress seems to be fragile.

What Chelsea need in January, however, is what Maresca is unlikely to get: experience. With an average age of 23 years, 149 days this season, Chelsea are the youngest team ever to play in the Premier League -- Leeds in 1999-2000 are closest at 24 years, 162 days -- and Maresca's side hasn't used a starter older than 27. The inconsistency behind Chelsea's pattern of results could be lessened by the addition of one or two senior players to help guide this young team; while it hasn't been Chelsea's policy since the club was taken over by Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital, an old head in the side could make all the difference.

Ideal January signing: Joshua Kimmich. Versatile, hugely experienced, a serial winner and young enough at 29 to provide long-term value. The Germany midfielder is out of contract at Bayern Munich in the summer, so a January deal could suit all parties.

Arsenal

Premier League position: 4th
Summer spend: 101.5m (according to Sky Sports)
Notable long-term injuries: Kieran Tierney (left-back), Riccardo Calafiori (defender), Takehiro Tomiyasu (defender)

Arsenal are still in the title race, but only just. After getting out of the blocks quickly in the past two seasons, when they finished runners-up to Manchester City on each occasion, the Gunners have made an indifferent start this time around and are already nine points behind leaders Liverpool.

With just 11 games gone, though, Arsenal have time to rediscover their form and get their injured players back to fitness and form. If that happens, Mikel Arteta's side can still push for the title.

Arsenal's problem is the same as it has been for the past two years, though, in that they still don't have a proven goal scorer. Kai Havertz continues to be Arteta's choice to lead the line, and he is a scorer of important goals. Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli are also capable of weighing in with big goals, too, but Arsenal are now desperate for a genuine centre-forward.

A move for RB Leipzig's Benjamin Sesko was considered last summer before the club chose not to take the plunge. Ivan Toney was another name in the frame before Arteta opted against a move for the England forward, who eventually left Brentford for Saudi club Al Ahli. Arsenal stood aside while Galatasaray sealed a loan deal for Napoli's Victor Osimhen.

Havertz can't carry the goal-scoring burden alone if Arsenal are to challenge for the title, so a move for a centre-forward has now become a must. The issue is that goal scorers don't come cheap. With a 100m release clause at Sporting, Viktor Gyökeres is a deal that could be done, but that might be too steep for Arsenal.

Ideal January signing: Gyökeres. The 26-year-old Sweden international could be a game changer for Arsenal. He is the hottest striker in Europe right now and perfectly suited to the Premier League.

Tottenham

Premier League position: 10th
Summer spend: 133.5m (according to Sky Sports)
Notable long-term injuries: Wilson Odobert (midfielder), Richarlison (forward)

These are testing times for Spurs and manager Ange Postecoglou, with last season's bright start and hints of a title challenge nothing more than a distant memory. The Tottenham picture is confusing, though. They have lost three of their past five games in all competitions, but the two wins during that run were a Carabao Cup victory against Manchester City and a 4-1 hammering of Champions League qualifiers Aston Villa. Spurs also have a 3-0 win at Manchester United on their record this season.

Five wins, five defeats and a draw is the tale of their league campaign so far, and it points directly at the inconsistencies that Postecoglou is attempting to eradicate. Injuries to Micky van de Ven and Richarlison have been significant blows, while James Maddison has struggled to rediscover his form from last season in the No. 10 role. Spurs lack quality in midfield, however, and that is where they need to strengthen in January if they can find the funds.

With a Carabao Cup quarterfinal at home to Man United looming on Dec. 19, the outcome of that game could be decisive in terms of what the club can do, and whom they can attract. If Spurs make it through to the semifinals, they would become a much more attractive proposition to potential signings.

Ideal January signing: Angel Gomes. The England international is out of contract at Ligue 1 side Lille at the end of the season. Having started out at Man United, the 24-year-old is Premier League ready and would add quality to Postecoglou's midfield.

Manchester United

Premier League position: 13th
Summer spend: 205.9m (according to Sky Sports)
Notable long-term injuries: Kobbie Mainoo (midfielder), Tyrell Malacia (left-back), Luke Shaw (left-back), Leny Yoro (centre-back)

Ten Hag paid the price for United's worst-ever start to a Premier League season -- the second worst was the one he oversaw last season -- by losing his job as manager last month. Amorim will take charge of his first game as Ten Hag's successor against Ipswich Town on Nov. 24 after arriving from Sporting.

Despite their woeful start, which included 3-0 home defeats against Liverpool and Spurs, United are just four points behind fourth-place Arsenal. Amorim inherits an imbalanced squad, but it is still close enough to the top teams for the season to be salvaged.

With Amorim favouring a 3-4-3/3-4-2-1 formation at Sporting, he might encounter early problems in terms of making that system work at United. Quite simply, United lack the players to fit the key areas, most notably the wing-back positions. Amorim will also quickly realise that United's central midfielders lack the pace and dynamism provided by his Sporting midfield players, so he will have to make a big decision in January as to whether to target a new wing-back or midfielder as the club are unlikely to be able to afford both.

If Shaw can return to fitness and stay fit, then he will solve the left wing-back issue, leaving Amorim to use either Diogo Dalot or Noussair Mazraoui on the right. That would then point to a new midfielder being the main objective. Mainoo and Manuel Ugarte are the best options available at Old Trafford, but a key addition would be a box-to-box midfielder with plenty of energy and quality on the ball.

Ideal January signing: Carlos Baleba. The Brighton & Hove Albion midfielder is one of the emerging talents in the Premier League and, at 20, would be regarded as a long-term addition to a United midfield that needs to replace Casemiro and Christian Eriksen.

PROVO, Utah -- Jalon Daniels threw for 169 yards, Devin Neal ran for two touchdowns, and Kansas upset No. 6 BYU 17-13 on Saturday night to hand the Cougars their first loss of the season.

The Jayhawks (4-6, 3-4 Big 12) beat ranked opponents in back-to-back weeks for the first time in school history and improved to 3-0 against the Cougars. Neal surpassed 4,000 yards rushing in his career after finishing with 52 yards on the ground.

The victory over BYU kept alive hopes of Kansas qualifying for a bowl game for a third consecutive season following a 1-5 start.

"I feel like our team has always done a great job being able to stay the course," Daniels said. "I feel like a big staple within our program is being able to trust the process."

Jake Retzlaff threw for 192 yards for BYU (9-1, 6-1). LJ Martin ran for 76 yards for the Cougars, who were held to a field goal in the second half.

BYU totaled 354 yards but went 2-for-4 in the red zone and came away with no touchdowns on all four drives inside the 20.

"They had a really good game plan," BYU coach Kalani Sitake said. "Looking at the stats, we just didn't make enough plays and [made] way too many mistakes to come out with the victory. "

Trailing 13-10 entering the fourth quarter, Kansas went ahead on Neal's 3-yard run.

Daniels quick-kicked on fourth-and-14 when the drive stalled at the BYU 36. His kick deflected off Evan Johnson's helmet, and when Jakob Robinson dove to secure it, the ball squirted out of his arms. Kansas' Quentin Skinner pounced on the loose ball at the 3 to set up the go-ahead score.

"We found a way this time," Kansas coach Lance Leipold said.

BYU drove to the Kansas 15 but stalled on offense coming out of the two-minute timeout. They gained four total yards on three straight runs, and a false start penalty backed them up to the 16. BYU turned it over on downs with 46 seconds left when Chase Roberts was tackled 3 yards short of a first down.

"We had all the confidence in the world in our defense to be able to go out there and make a stop," Daniels said.

Both teams scored a touchdown in the first half. Kansas took a 7-0 lead on its opening drive following Neal's 8-yard burst up the middle. BYU went ahead 10-7 in the second quarter on a 30-yard strike along the sideline from Retzlaff to Hinckley Ropati.

The Cougars had a chance at another go-ahead score before halftime when they drove 70 yards over a minute to the Kansas 5. Mello Dotson intercepted Retzlaff in the end zone on a fade route to keep BYU from putting another touchdown on the board.

"We can't score in the red zone," Roberts said. "I feel like we struggled a little bit in practice this week in the red zone, and it carries over. You got to lock in. You got to be prepared when you come out and play a good team like Kansas."

BYU opened the third quarter with a 17-play drive that covered 66 yards and took 10:26 off the clock. The drive culminated in a 35-yard field goal from Will Ferrin that ended up being the Cougars' only second-half points.

"It didn't seem like it was going to ever end," Leipold said. "That might be one of the longest drives I've seen in my career, 17 plays. But to hold them to that field goal was huge."

There's an underlying storyline heading into the meeting between the Los Angeles Lakers and San Antonio Spurs on Friday (4:30 p.m. ET on ESPN) that includes two of the oldest players in the NBA: LeBron James (39) and Chris Paul (39).

The future Hall of Famers have combined for over 60,000 points and 32 All Star appearances. They are also one half of the memorable Banana Boat crew.

They are also the final active players from their respective NBA drafts.

The Cleveland Cavaliers selected James at No. 1 in 2003, while the then-New Orleans Hornets took Paul at No. 4 in 2005. Paul and James are their drafts' leaders in games, minutes, points and assists.

Those two years aren't the only ones without many players still active. Here's a look at draft classes with the fewest players remaining in the league.

Year:

2006

Players:

Kyle Lowry (No. 24), P.J. Tucker (No. 35)

Lowry has played the most games from the group of players drafted. Currently with the Philadelphia 76ers, Lowry has suited up for five franchises. The Memphis Grizzlies selected him before he went to the Houston Rockets, then to the Toronto Raptors (where he won the 2019 NBA championship), Miami Heat and 76ers.

Tucker's a champion too, playing a key role in the Milwaukee Bucks winning in 2021. Though the Raptors drafted him, he spent five seasons overseas after his rookie year before returning to the league. Tucker is part of the LA Clippers' roster but away from the team while the franchise looks to find him a "different situation."

The 2006 NBA draft also included the selection of current Lakers head coach JJ Redick, Rajon Rondo, Lamarcus Aldridge and Rudy Gay, who recently retired.

Year:

2007

Players:

Kevin Durant (No. 2), Al Horford (No. 3), Mike Conley (No. 4), Jeff Green (No. 5)

All of the active players from this class were taken in the top five, proving those decisions paid off. Two of the four players are champions and made at least five All-Star appearances -- Durant (14) and Horford (5). Green won his first ring with the Denver Nuggets in 2023.

Thaddeus Young, (pick No. 12), isn't part of an NBA roster for the first time since being drafted, however he hasn't officially retired.

Durant's longevity stands out in this group. The Phoenix Suns star averaged 27.6 points before being sidelined by an injury.

Year:

2008

Players:

Russell Westbrook (No. 4), Kevin Love (No. 5), Eric Gordon (No. 7), Brook Lopez (No. 10), Nicolas Batum (No. 25), DeAndre Jordan (No. 35)

Over 15 years later, the 2008 class has found a way to still contribute in the league. Though Love and Jordan appear sparingly, the other four members have key roles on teams with high aspirations.

Westbrook is the group's leader in minutes, games, points and assists. Jordan leads in rebounds and field goal percentage, eclipsing 60% for his career.

Year:

2010

Players:

Paul George (No. 10)

In a draft that was headlined by big names that include John Wall and DeMarcus Cousins, George held on the longest. Gordon Hayward's retirement in the offseason ensured George's status as the last man standing from the 2010 class.

He is nearing 30,000 minutes and 20,000 points, both the highest of any prospect drafted that year. A nine-time All-Star and six-time All-NBA player, the 76ers forward is still a key member of the NBA ecosystem.

World number two Iga Swiatek secured back-to-back wins to lead Poland into their first Billie Jean King Cup semi-finals with a comeback victory over the Czech Republic.

After Czech Marie Bouzkova won her singles opener against Magdalena Frech, it was up to Swiatek to keep Poland's hopes alive.

The five-time Grand Slam winner first beat Czech teenager Linda Noskova, who knocked her out of the Australian Open in January, 7-6 (7-4) 4-6 7-5 in a match that lasted two hours and 39 minutes.

Swiatek then returned to court with Katarzyna Kawa for a rare doubles encounter, with the pair sealing a 6-1 6-4 win against Katerina Siniakova and Bouzkova to book a place in the semi-finals.

"In 20 minutes I'll be dead," Swiatek joked afterwards.

"It was an exhausting day, but everything worked. We did a great job, we won."

French Open finalist Zverev, on an eight-match winning streak after winning the Paris Masters title earlier in November, had cruised through to the semi-finals in Turin and not had his serve broken across all three of his group matches.

But that was to change against an inspired Fritz. Though he saved his first break-point opportunity, Zverev could only bat a blistering forehand into the net on his second as the American took a 4-2 lead.

Flustered, the German took only a single point off Fritz's serve for the remainder of the opening set.

After a Zverev hold to love in the first game of the second, drama ensued on Fritz's serve when the chair umpire ruled the ball had bounced twice before a swooping Zverev made contact.

The 27-year-old requested a review which, after a lengthy wait greeted by jeers and whistles from the crowd, proved he had reached the ball in time and the point was replayed.

Two games later, Zverev secured the break that would decide the second set as a powerful forehand, while on the back foot, proved too much for Fritz to dink back over the net.

In the deciding set, just three points were dropped on serve across the opening four games before Fritz survived triple break point.

Zverev later weathered a nervy game himself, saving three break points, before failing to convert two of his own at 5-5 after Fritz had let slip a 40-15 lead.

A hold to love from the German forced the tie-break, but it was Fritz who took control from there, taking a point off Zverev at the first opportunity before a stunning cross-court forehand at match point ensured his Tour season would last one more day.

Looking forward to the final, Fritz - who lost to Sinner in the US Open final in September - said: "I trust my game and I trust my level.

"I don't feel anywhere near as uncomfortable in these situations anymore because I've been putting myself in these situations against the top guys at big events a lot lately. I'm really confident in my game."

Meanwhile, Britain's Henry Patten and his Finnish partner Harri Heliovaara were knocked out of the doubles in a tight 7-6 (7-1) 7-6 (7-4) semi-final defeat by the top seeds, Croatia's Mate Pavic and El Salvador's Marcelo Arevalo.

Carlos Alcaraz says winning the Davis Cup for Rafael Nadal is a "huge motivation" and will mark the "most special" tournament of his career.

Nadal, a 22-time Grand Slam champion, will retire from tennis after representing Spain in next week's Davis Cup Finals in Malaga.

Spain face the Netherlands in the quarter-finals on Tuesday as they look to add to their six titles - four of which Nadal has played a part in.

"It's probably the most special tournament I'll play in my career, because of what's happening, because of the circumstances," said 21-year-old Alcaraz, who is ranked third in the world.

"The Davis Cup has always been a tournament that I'd love to win one day. I'm passionate about representing Spain.

"Having Rafa by my side, knowing it's his last tournament, will make it much more special."

Alcaraz made his Davis Cup debut in 2022, three years after Spain's most recent title.

He and Nadal, 17 years his senior, teamed up in the doubles at this summer's Olympics in Paris, though were knocked out in the quarter-finals.

Nadal will retire as the second-most successful men's singles player of all time, behind only long-time rival Novak Djokovic.

"No player deserves more to finish the incredible career he had with a title, and I know how special the Davis Cup is for him. It will be a difficult challenge but winning it for Rafa is a huge motivation," Alcaraz told the ATP website.

He added: "Rafa's farewell is much more important, at least for me. The Davis Cup is every year. Rafa's farewell, saying goodbye to a legend of the sport, unfortunately only happens once. Personally Im very excited to be by Rafa's side for his farewell."

You could hear it being whispered in the breakfast hall of the Malaga hotel where travelling British fans were tucking into their Spanish tortillas.

"We could go on and win this, you know," one man cautiously confided to the table the morning after Great Britain reached the quarter-finals.

The nation has never won the Billie Jean King Cup.

But the feeling is growing that this year's event could be as good a chance as any.

In the women's team tournament branded as the 'World Cup of Tennis', GB face defending champions Canada in the last eight - and expectation is building.

"I said it before the competition started, I really believe that we can win this," said British captain Anne Keothavong, whose team is comprised of Katie Boulter, Emma Raducanu, Heather Watson, Olivia Nicholls and Harriet Dart.

"I don't have a problem saying that out loud."

Keothavong's team reached the semi-finals on home turf in Glasgow in 2022, but there is a different level of confidence running through the camp now.

In Boulter and Raducanu, Britain have pedigree which ranks among the most substantial in the competition - particularly in their half of the draw.

British number one Boulter, who has moved into the world's top 25 after a season where she won two WTA titles, is the third-highest ranked singles player left in the competition. Former Grand Slam champion Raducanu also ranks third among the number two players.

Neither will face a higher-ranked player against Canada, nor would they against potential semi-final opponents Australia and Slovakia.

"We've got quality players who have shown in their own right what they're capable of, whether it's this year or in previous years," said Keothavong.

"For me to be able to captain the team of incredible women, for Katie to lead the way she does, and to have Emma back in the team playing great tennis, I feel like I'm in a very fortunate position."
