Injury restricts footballer backing transfer immediately (8)
I believe the answer is:
teleport
'transfer immediately' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'injury restricts footballer backing' is the wordplay.
'injury' becomes 'tort' (I've seen this in another clue).
'restricts' indicates putting letters inside.
'footballer' becomes 'pele' (Brazilian footballer Pele).
'backing' says the letters should be written backwards.
'pele' written backwards gives 'elep'.
'tort' going around 'elep' is 'TELEPORT'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for teleport that I've seen before include "Sci-fi concept for matter transmission" , "Sci-fi travel device" , "Travel instantly (sci-fi)" , "Move instantly across space (in science fiction)" , "Move a person instantly in dematerialised form from one place to another" .)
