NEW YORK -- The next phase in New York Mets ace Matt Harveys rehabilitation from elbow reconstruction surgery is being pushed back, and the All-Star right-hander is becoming more realistic about his chances of pitching in the major leagues this year. Harvey was supposed to throw off a slope for the first time Tuesday but he was told last week while working out at the Mets complex in Port St. Lucie, Florida, that the plan was being scrapped. "A little surprised," Harvey said before the Mets played the Milwaukee Brewers. "We kind of had that plan written up for quite some time and to hear four or five days before Im making a milestone is a little disappointing." New York general manager Sandy Alderson said there is nothing wrong with Harvey. In fact the 25-year-olds recovery might have been going too well. "I think the realization that as we transition from long tossing to throwing off a slope that we were moving sort of inexorably to a conclusion that we wanted to avoid, which is pitching too soon," Alderson said. "After talking with our doctors it made sense to slow him down a little bit." In a season in which Tommy John surgery has become a near epidemic -- 22 pitchers had the operation so far, according to data provided from STATS via writer Jon Roegele -- the Mets are basing their timetable for Harveys return on a growing amount of data that shows pitchers have more success if they dont return before 11 months from the date of surgery. Harvey had his operation on Oct. 22. "Thats about the last week in September," Alderson said of the target date. "Thats a very narrow window to try to hit from our standpoint." Manager Terry Collins, who was given a vote of confidence from Alderson with the Mets on a six-game skid, said he wouldnt expect Harvey to pitch for New York in the final week of the season unless the team was in contention. Harvey had been set on returning this season but understands the decision is out of his hands. "I think Im coming to realize that I cant write myself in the lineup is becoming more realistic," Harvey said. "Im the one throwing the baseball. I havent had one pinch of pain. I can only express how good I feel and how ready I personally feel." Harvey will continue to long toss from 120 feet -- sometimes 150 -- and throw off flat ground for the time being. Alderson said a new plan has not yet been finalized. Alderson, meanwhile, met with Collins after the team returned from an 11-game road trip a season-high seven games under .500 at 28-35 because he felt there was too much talk about Collins status in the media. "Every time we lose a few games in a row, theres speculation about somebody taking a fall and thats simply not the way to approach a long season," Alderson said.

Costa Rica followed up its wins over Uruguay and Italy by holding England to a dour 0-0 draw on Tuesday, enough to finish first in Group D.Daley Blind and Juan Mata may be surplus to requirements for Jose Mourinho but the duo are sure to attract plenty of suitors. Sky Sports News HQ understands Mourinho is willing to accept suitable bids for the two players shortly after taking charge at Manchester United, with neither player fitting his physical profile for their respective positions.Sky Bet have wasted little time in pricing up where the duo will head next with some of Europes top sides expected to be alerted by their availability. Heres a look at their possible next clubs...Daley Blinds next club odds Blind has spent the majority of his season paired with Chris Smalling at centre-back Ajax (11/8 with Sky Bet)Blinds versatility is sure to appeal to plenty of clubs but a return to his first club Ajax is deemed most likely. The 26-year-old played over 100 times for the Dutch giants, winning the Eredivisie four times and being named Dutch Footballer of the Year in his final season before being sold to United.If appreciation of his talents and domestic silverware are his main desires then a return to the Amsterdam ArenA looks the right fit. However, much is likely to depend on the budget handed to their new manager Peter Bosz, who was appointed after Frank de Boer decided to leave following a failure to capture a fifth successive league title.Southampton (6/1)If Blind is looking to remain in England but under the guidance of another Dutchman then St Marys is the perfect place. The question is where hed fit into the Saints side, with right-back being their area of greatest need as Ryan Bertrand has the left side pinned down and defensive midfielders are plentiful.However, with Europa League football added to next seasons schedule, Ronald Koeman will undoubtedly be looking to add some depth to his talented squad this summer and Blinds versatility and quality would certainly enhance their cause. Blind admitted he was disappointed when Louis van Gaal left Everton (8/1)The Toffees are certainly in need of some fresh faces, especially if John Stones departs. An appointment of fellow Dutchman De Boer is sure to see Evertons odds of landing Blind tumble, although betting on the next manager at Goodison Park remains wide open. Other optionsValencia are next in the line in Sky Bets market, with Celtic, Schalke, Sevilla and Borussia Monchengladbach also considered possible destinations for Blind to compete in the Europa League next season.Juan Matas next club odds Mata scored six times for United as they finished fifth Valencia (3/1)Once again, it is a return to a first club looking most likely with Mata establishing himself as one of Europes most sought-after talents during his spell at the Mestalla.dddddddddddd While the Spaniard would surely welcome the adulation back at Valencia after lacking appreciation during his last few seasons in England, it remains to be seen whether hed be willing to join a side absent from Europe after finishing 12th in La Liga. Pako Ayestaran is also unlikely to have sufficient budget to match Matas wages, let alone Uniteds demands, even though their top-paid player Alvaro Negredo looks set to leave this summer.Sevilla (5/1)The Europa League champions look a more suitable fit in terms of aspirations, having booked their place in Europes top-tier tournament at the expense of Liverpool. They also need to boost their ranks having finished seventh in La Liga, winning just once on the road, but have been more renowned for their exporting and development of talent than buying stars in recent years.Much is also likely to depend on a potential shake up in their management ranks, with highly rated technical director Monchi reportedly considering an approach from Manchester United, while manager Unai Emery is second favourite for the Everton job. Mata failed to fit into Jose Mourinhos Chelsea system Chelsea (6/1)Could Mata return to the club which discarded him under Mourinho? The 28-year-old certainly impressed before the Special One took the reins, claiming their 2012/13 Player of the Year award and making the PFA Team of the Season. However, current boss Antonio Conte is renowned for a high-pressing and direct style of play, which might well count against the Spanish playmaker once again.PSG (6/1)PSG could also comfortably match Matas financial demands and are probably the side United will be most keen to receive interest from given their willingness to spend big. The French giants are likely to be linked with almost every top name around the continent this summer as they look to strengthen their chances of winning Europes top prize and replace Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Other optionsTwo of Spains top sides follow in the betting with Atletico Madrid 8/1 and Barcelona 10s. The latter seems a more natural technical fit for Mata, although it remains to be seen where he would fit into their star-studded side. Arsenals (12/1) style would also suit but Arsene Wenger will surely have higher priorities than adding more creativity to his squad, while United would presumably prefer to sell abroad.
