Boston Celtics' star signing Gordon Hayward 'out for season' after successful surgery on horror leg break

Image
Boston Celtics' big summer signing Gordon Hayward is likely out for the rest of the season after a shocking broken ankle suffered in the club's NBA season opener. Hayward, playing his first competitive game for the Celtics against the Cleveland Cavaliers after signing a $128million deal, didn't make it to the end of the first quarter after the horror injury. The 27-year-old landed awkwardly on his leg after trying to collect an alley-oop pass, but collided with Cavs superstar LeBron James in the process. James offered words of support to Hayward as he was taken from court on a stretcher to a standing ovation. It was confirmed following the game - which the Cavs won 112-109 - that Hayward had dislocated his ankle and fractured his tibia. He underwent surgery successfully on Wednesday night, his wife confirmed, and his agent Mark Bartelstein has told ESPN it's unlikely he'll return to action this season. "We expect him to make a full recovery and return to his Al...

Arsenal's Mesut Ozil so confident Manchester United transfer WILL happen he is telling team- mates it's in the bag

Image
+ Subscribe Mesut Ozil has told his Arsenal team-mates he'll sign for Manchester United . Ozil, 29 , is ready to make the bombshell switch, and is confident that he will move to Old Trafford. The Germany midfielder is out of contract at the end of the season and can leave for nothing then, but Gunners boss Arsene Wenger admitted publicly last week that they could end up selling him in January. That has now opened the door to the possibility of Ozil defecting to one of their biggest rivals. It remains to be seen, though, whether the Old Trafford giants will push through on a deal for the 2014 World Cup winner. Ozil, who is increasingly out-of-favour at the Emirates after losing his place in the starting line-up, is making no secret that he is preparing to leave. United boss Jose Mourinho has publicly admitted that he regards Ozil as the best No10 in the world. The pair had a strong relationship from working together at Real Madrid, and there remains a deep respect despite Ozil’s mi...

Eddie Hearn outlines Anthony Joshua schedule for 2018 with Deontay Wilder vs Dillian Whyte also lined up

Image
Anthony Joshua could be set for another heavyweight world title unification fight next year as Eddie Hearn has reiterated his intention to match Deontay Wilder with Dillian Whyte for the WBC world title. The winner would then face AJ with his IBF and WBA (Super) straps also on the line in what would either be a domestic grudge match or a true global event against the Bronze Bomber. Hearn has outlined his plans for both Whyte and Joshua, who could face off with Joseph Parker in the meantime to gather the WBO title. "I think the Wilder fight is one for next summer,' Hearn told boxingscene.com . "I'd like [Wilder] to fight Dillian Whyte. I mean I've talked to [Wilder's] guys again today - and the winner fights Josh. "Parker is a fight we could look at in February or March. But you know we've got a WBA mandatory [title defence], potentially... I don't know. "But I think the main aim is to fight three times next year, and I'd like two of those...

Everyone loved what Cristiano Ronaldo did during the Champions League anthem before Tottenham clash

"The Chaaaaaaampions! Doo doo doo doo!" Come on, we've all done it. It's just that most - alright, pretty much all - of us weren't lining up before a crucial group stage match at the home of the European champions. Cristiano Ronaldo does that sort of thing ALL the time though, and when he prepared to do so for Real Madrid against Tottenham Hotspur at the Bernabeu on Tuesday evening, eagle-eyed fans spotted something quite unusual. PROMOTED STORIES Yep, he was singing along. Everyone's favourite Portuguese goalscoring machine was getting in the mood to face Spurs by treating the tune as though it were his own national anthem, mouthing along to the lyrics as the camera panned down the line of Real players. And, given that this is Ronaldo, everyone watching the clash loved it. Singing along worked to a degree for Ronaldo as he found the net from the penalty spot, but his goal wasn't enough to earn Real anything more than a 1-1 draw .

FA admit ex-England manager DID racially abuse two players as Martin Glenn is forced into embarrassing U-turn

Image
Martin Glenn has apologised and been forced into an embarrassing U-turn after admitting two England internationals were subjected to racist abuse. Football Association chief executive Glenn issued a full statement after saying former England manager Mark Sampson did make racist remarks to Eniola Aluko and Drew Spence. The FA had previously cleared Sampson in two separate investigations before eventually sacking him after it was claimed he had “inappropriate” relationship with a player while in a previous job at Bristol academy. PROMOTED STORIES Glenn, who will give evidence to the Digital, Culture, Media and Sport select committee on Wednesday afternoon, issued the following statement: “On behalf of The Football Association I would like to sincerely apologise to Eniola Aluko and Drew Spence. “Based on new evidence submitted to independent barrister Katharine Newton, she has now found that they were both subject to discriminatory remarks made by an FA employee. Th...

Everton star Wayne Rooney 'left home alone for first time since drink drive arrest' as wife Coleen heads to Barbados

Image
Everton star Wayne Rooney is reportedly home alone for the first time since his arrest for drink driving. Rooney's wife Coleen is said to be heading to Barbados - her seventh holiday of 2017 - and has taken the couple's three sons with her. Coleen's last holiday came at the end of August, as Rooney was caught over the limit at the wheel of another woman's car following a night out. Pregnant Coleen is reportedly jetting off with her parents this time around, as she looks to spend some quality time with her family during the school half- term break. The plush resort they are visiting is said to be one of the most exclusive sites in the world. A source told The Sun: “She is still very angry at Wayne. But she doesn’t see why she or the children should suffer. “She doesn’t really want to leave Wayne at home as she feels like she can’t trust him." PLAY Rooney is unable to travel on holiday with his family with a hectic schedule for Everton coming up. The Toffees ...

Manchester United 'scout Spain starlet' as Jose Mourinho continues hunt for a new left-back

Image
Manchester United are monitoring Espanyol defender Aaron Martin. United scouts watched the 20-year-old - a Spain under-21 international - during his club’s clash with Levante on Friday night. Martin, a left-back, is contracted with the Catalan club until 2022, having signed a new deal in January. PROMOTED STORIES But according to ESPN, the Spanish side are worried that they won’t be able to hang onto the player past next summer. Martin has played every minute of Espanyol’s eight La Liga fixtures thus far this season. His buyout clause stands at €40million, with United’s rivals City also reportedly watching the youngster with interest. Jose Mourinho has used a revolving cast of players at left-back since his arrival at Old Trafford. Daley Blind, Marcos Rojo, Luke Shaw and Ashley Young have all played in the position at various points, while it was Matteo Darmian who got the nod against Liverpool at the weekend.

Antonio Conte set to bring back "important" Alvaro Morata for Champions League clash with Roma

Image
Antonio Conte has confirmed Alvaro Morata is on course to start Wednesday’s Champions League clash with Roma. The Spanish striker - scorer of seven goals in his nine games since his £58million move from Real Madrid - has been absent since limping out of Chelsea’s Premier League defeat at home to Manchester City on September 30. Michy Batshuayi deputised against Crystal Palace on Saturday but was panned for a poor display with his lack of movement highlighted on the BBC’s Match of the Day show. It was the second time that Chelsea had lost back-to- back Premier League games under Conte, still without N’Golo Kante until next month. The Chelsea boss, who admitted at Selhurst Park to being furious with the overall performance, said: “Alvaro is in contention for tomorrow’s game. He’s been training with us and he is in contention for tomorrow.” Asked whether it is important that the Spaniard starts, Conte replied: “Do you think differe...

Liverpool mayor slates Ronald Koeman as pressure mounts on under-fire Everton boss

Image
The pressure on Everton boss Ronald Koeman shows no signs of abating following the Toffees' 1-1 draw at Brighton on Sunday. That leaves the Toffees just outside the relegation places as the critics round on the Dutchman, who has now even seen the mayor of Liverpool turn on him. Civic leader Joe Anderson is a big Toffees fan and took to Twitter following the south coast stalemate to lament a "poor display" by his team. PROMOTED STORIES “Koeman will be judged by results," he posted following the game which saw Wayne Rooney earn a late point from the penalty spot. "This was another poor one & poor performances v poor side. I ask him have any players improved under him?” Everton sit in 16th place in the table, having picked up just eight points from eight games so far this term, which is a hugely disappointing return considering the hefty summer investment in the playing squad. Anderson, a Labour politician who won a second term as Liverpool's mayor last sum...
