Bellegarde booked in Wolves draw; CNL group stage wraps with Haiti in 2nd

Jean-Ricner Bellegarde is the sharpest club story of this cycle. The Wolverhampton midfielder came off the bench in Tuesday's 1-1 EFL Championship draw at home to Portsmouth (20 October), picking up a yellow card — his third disciplinary moment across four October appearances. Earlier in the month he started and logged two shots in a 2-1 win at Burnley (16 October) and scored in a 3-1 home defeat to Bolton (13 October), underlining his importance even as Wolves struggle for consistency mid-table in the Championship. His market value sits at €16m per Transfermarkt and he holds a contract through June 2028.

On the national-team front, the CONCACAF Nations League group phase is now complete. Haiti finished second in Group A with nine points (3W-0D-1L, GD +4), behind Curaçao on ten. Results across the window: W 3-2 v Trinidad & Tobago, W 2-0 v Costa Rica (home), W 4-1 at Dominican Republic, L 2-0 at Costa Rica. Quarterfinal fixtures are awaited.

Frantzdy Pierrot and Çaykur Rizespor host Trabzonspor on 26 October in the Süper Lig, a fixture listed on Footmercato. Martin Expérience has moved to FCV Dender (Belgian Pro League) after leaving AS Nancy on 1 July, per Flashscore transfer data — his canonical club entry reflects the pre-season state of the squad list.
