Luckless Melbourne City winger Corey Gameiro has vowed to return from a third ACL rupture that will cost him the chance to play in the 2016/17 A-League season.After completing the long comeback from a second injury to his left knee, Gameiro collapsed at training with City in Townsville this week after suffering the same issue with his right knee.Its a hammer blow to the 23-year-old, who was played just 10 matches in the past two seasons in between the debilitating setbacks.Gameiro said he was heartened by the flood of well-wishers who had reached out on social media.Its tough times for myself and the family (at the moment) but I will get through this! he said on Twitter.Thanks everyone for the kind messages, its overwhelming. I know Im going to come through this stronger.City are yet to see a return from the pacey winger, whose last goal came for Sydney FC in October 2014 in a 3-2 derby win.While his absence is a major blow for John van t Schips hopes of bringing City a maiden A-League title, the Dutchman has strength in wide attackers on his books.Nick Fitzgerald and new signing Bruce Kamau have shown their quality in previous title-winning sides, while teenager Steve Kuzmanovski is a future talent.City have also been linked with Argentine winger Nicolas Colazo, who will command a marquee position should he move from Buenos Aires giants Boca Juniors.Despite the club yet to confirm a move, Colazos partner this week said on her Twitter account that the pair were going to live in Australia.Cross-town rivals Melbourne Victory are also in the hunt for a big name before the new season kicks off on October 7, confirming an interest in English Premier League winner Michael Essien.Former Socceroo Josh Kennedy said if Victory could sign the 33-year-old midfielder, it would be massive.Hes played 60-odd games for Ghana; hes had a stint at Real Madrid and a great couple of years at Chelsea when they won everything, he told EON Sports Radio.He could be one of the best players weve seen in the A-League.

No. 8 Michigan | No. 10 Notre Dame | Top 25No. 9: TennesseeLast Season: 9-4??(5-3 SEC East)Butch Jones has talked about the youth of his Vols team for three years now, but he cant play that card this year -- Tennessee is the most experienced Power 5 team in the country. It has 17 starters back, including QB Joshua Dobbs, the elite RB duo of Jalen Hurd and Alvin Kamara (combined 1,986 yards) and a D that has three potential first-round picks in DE Derek Barnett, LB Jalen Reeves-Maybin and CB Cameron Sutton. The Vols are front-runners to win the SEC East and will be double-digit favorites in eight games. The key will be a four-game stretch (Weeks 4-7) in which they see Florida (11 straight losses to the Gators), travel to Georgia and Texas A&M, and host Alabama.IN IF... It can buck the trends. In addition to those 11 straight losses to Florida, UT has dropped nine in a row to Bama. And the East champ hasnt won the SEC since 08. Break each streak and Tennessee will be in the playoff.OUT IF... It cant close. All four of UTs losses last year were by seven or fewer points, and three were blown leads in the final five minutes.Tennessees chances to win each game 09.01 vs. Appalachian State: 95.1% 09.10 vs. Virginia Tech (Bristol Motor Speedway): 87.7% 09.17 vs. Ohio: 98.5% 09.24 vs. Florida: 80.2% 10.01 @ Georgia: 55.8% 10.08 @ Texas A&M: 59.3% 10.15 vs. Alabama: 58.9% 10.29 @ South Caroliina: 88.dddddddddddd7% 11.05 vs. Tennessee Tech: 99.8% 11.12 vs. Kentucky: 93.8% 11.19 vs. Missouri: 92.5% 11.26 @ Vanderbilt: 85.9%The overwhelming favorite to win the SEC East, Tennessee returns the divisions most talented and experienced team, which will propel the Vols to a 10-2 season with a shot of possibly sneaking into the College Football Playoff.?-- Edward AschoffButch Jones has been building to this point with star-studded recruiting classes. Now its time to deliver. If the Volunteers navigate a front-loaded schedule effectively, they should be able to cruise to at 10-2 record and their first SEC East title since 2007.?-- David ChingThe Vols have to win the SEC East this year, right? If not now, when? All that experience, the best quarterback in the division, now is the time for Tennessee at 10-2.?-- Sam Khan Jr.The talent is there. The schedule sets up nicely. But even with a 10-2 finish, its hard to pick the Vols to win the East until they prove they can beat Florida.?-- Greg OstendorfSorry, Tennessee, its still not your year. While the Vols are the most talented team in the East, inexperience will cost them one game too many, finishing 9-3 and just short of the division title.?-- Alex ScarboroughNo. 8 Michigan | No. 10 Notre Dame | Top 25 ' ' '
