Real Madrid's Alvaro Morata likely to miss derby vs. Atletico with injury

Alvaro Morata is set to miss time for Real Madrid after tests revealed a grade 2 muscle injury on his right hamstring. The timeline for the injury is pending evaluation, but it's estimated that he'll miss a month for Real Madrid. The Spanish forward played 26 minutes in Tuesday's friendly against England after being substituted on in the second half.

The timing is unfortunate for Real Madrid, as the in-form forward, who's scored in his past three La Liga matches, is almost certain to miss this Saturday's derby clash against Atletico. Furthermore, Zinedine Zidane's usual leading striker, Karim Benzema, is a fitness doubt as well. Benzema hasn't played since the beginning of November with a hip injury.

Every match is important in the title race, but Saturday's derby against Atletico has that something extra. Real Madrid are currently atop the standings with 27 points, while Atletico are fourth with 21. With Barcelona sitting in second with 25 points, each point is precious.

Cristiano Ronaldo's massive paycheck worries Bayern Munich chief Rummenigge

Cristiano Ronaldo's massive new contract with Real Madrid surely has the Portuguese star smiling, but not everyone is on board with the pay hike. Bayern Munich chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge says the Bundesliga can't compete with wages comparable to the amount Ronaldo reportedly will rake in.

"Real Madrid have just renewed with three players and Ronaldo now supposedly earns €20.5m after taxes," Rummenigge told Sport Bild, via Goal.com. "There is not even a single player in the Bundesliga who makes that kind of money before taxes!"

Gareth Bale and Toni Kroos also received new contracts, tying them to the Spanish giants for the foreseeable future. While it's understandable that Real Madrid would act fast to lock up their own players -- especially with a transfer ban looming -- Rummenigge does have a point.

With a monster new television deal, Premier League clubs are able to splash the cash to entice players from all leagues. And that applies to all of the EPL clubs these days, not just the Big Four or historical powerhouses. Real Madrid and Barcelona have the funds to do the same.

As far as the Bundesliga goes, it's basically just Bayern that can afford to break the bank on a number of players. Borussia Dortmund have financial might, but nowhere near the same level as Bayern and other top-level European clubs. Dortmund CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke also conceded the Bundesliga is in danger of becoming a feeder league.

"Our players will not be leaving for Stoke City, but there are plenty of Bundesliga players who could double or treble their wages there."

The Undertaker reunited with Kane after WWE SmackDown went off air

WWE icon The Undertaker made his return to the ring Tuesday night on SmackDown, and he made two shocking announcements. In a speech to the men's Suvivor Series team at the end of the show, The Undertaker announced that "WrestleMania will no longer define" him, and that the SmackDown roster would have reason to fear him should they lose to Raw on Sunday.
The excellent promo opens up a wide range of possibilities for the Undertaker to be more regularly involved in WWE in the future, but he was only on screen for a few minutes before the show closed. Once SmackDown went off the air, The Undertaker slowly walked back up the entrance ramp - where he was met by Kane.

Naij announced in a statement published on its website that Mr. Adeparusi was killed in a motorcycle crash on Sunday, November 13th. Read their statement after the cut..

"NAIJ.com confirmed that he was involved in a motorcycle accident in Abuja and died on the spot," the statement said.

Mr. Adeparusi left his residence in Abuja suburb of Kugbo on Sunday afternoon with a message that he will be back. But when he didn’t return, his neighbours and later his colleagues became worried, especially when they couldn’t reach him on the phone.

This was quite unusual because Yinka was a soft-spoken, very professional and clear-headed individual; not the kind of person to wander off," Naij.com said.
Adeparusi graduated from Lagos State University School of Communication, where he bagged double honours in Photojournalism and Cinematography and minor in mass communication.

FG files charges against Justice Adeniyi

The Nigerian government has filed a 15-count criminal charge against Justice Adeniyi Ademola of the Federal High Court and his wife Mrs Olabowale Ademola.Justice Ademola was one of the serving judges who was arrested on October 8 by operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS).
The criminal charge which was filed at the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, alleges that the duo committed the offences between February 2014 and June 2016, contrary to Section Eight of the Independent Corrupt Practices Commission Act and section 115 of the Penal Code Law.

The Federal Government in the charge alleges that the judge and his wife received 30 million Naira from one Mr Joe Agi and Associates between March11 and 26, 2015 and another 40 million Naira between February 20 and 21, 2014.

According to the prosecution, Justice Ademola on May 6, 2013 also received$520,000 and six million Naira from one Johnson and Johnson Solicitors.
Justice Ademola was alleged to have accepted 55.650 million Naira from Mrs G.T. J. Ademola and Company between January 5 and June 23, 2016.

The prosecution further alleged that Justice Ademola on February 20, 2014 accepted 34 million Naira from one Omotayo Babafemi Aliyu and 4.771 million Naira from one Lawan Sulaiman between February 21 and November 7, 2014.
After the raid and arrest of some judges the DSS said they were involved in corrupt practices.

More to see from Iwobi-Arsene wenger

Nigeria national team coach, Gernot Rohr, claims that although he wasn’t exactly surprised by Alex Iwobi’s superb rainbow flick against Algeria, itwasn’t expecting it either.
Speaking after the impressive 3-1 win in which Iwobi played for75 minutes, earning his eighth cap, Rohr praised the 20-year-old and revealed that he met with Arsene Wenger last month.

“I didn’t see [his rainbow flick] coming but I wasn’t surprised he did it,”Rohr said.

When I met Arsene Wenger last month, we talked about Iwobi and he told me there’s more to his game than what we are seeing at the moment.
“He (Iwobi) is a confident lad. He is not afraid to try new tricks in training and games.
He can only get better, his best is yet to come.”

It must be comforting from Iwobi’s point of view to hear both of his coaches speaking so highly about him, as well as Wenger putting time aside from managing Arsenal to meet with his Nigeria coach. He clearly takes the forward’s future and progress really seriously.

So far this season, Iwobi’s made 14 appearances for Arsenal in all competitions and, more often than not, he’s been a regular starter. He’s also had three assists so if he can become a bit more composed in front of goal, he’ll be unstoppable. However, for now, he’s only 20. He’ll get there with time.

Robert Pires-Mesut Ozil is Arsenal's new Dennis Bergkamp.

Mesut Ozil has scored seven Arsenal goals already this season.
Mesut Ozil has inherited Dennis Bergkamp's role as Arsenal's"maestro", according to club great Robert Pires.Ozil topped Arsenal's assist chart last season and has added goals this timearound, scoring seven in 17 appearances including a first senior hat-trick.

But Pires, who twice played alongsidethe Dutchman in Premier League title-winning sides and is still a regular at the Arsenal training ground, says Ozil is the current side's equivalent of the man Gunners supporters call 'God'."

Something has clicked," Pires told the club website as Ozil and Arsenal prepare for Saturday's liveSky Sportsgame at Manchester United. "
What's happened in the head is like a click because he's scored a lot of goals."

This is a difference between the last season with Mesut Ozil and now because he's thinking just for himself,and sometimes when you are in front of the target it is very important to score a goal.

"Mesut has very good qualities, he can normally score a minimum of 12 goals during the Premier League so inmy time the maestro was Dennis Bergkamp, and now it is Mesut Ozil.

 I love them both because they play very good football but they play for the team. Not for himself, they play for the team. This point is very important for the future and of coursefor Arsenal."

Bergkamp scored 120 goals during his 11 years at Arsenal and won seen major honours with the club.He won both major player-of-the-year awards in 1998 and came second on a list of Arsenal's 50 greatest players recently chosen by users of the club website.

The People Magazine's 2016 Sexiest Man The Rock' Johnson

Former WWE champion and one of the world’s highest-paid actors, Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson has been named by People Magazine as the 2016 Sexiest Man Alive. On Dwayne's thoughts when he first heard about his latest title, he said:
‘That’s awesome. What went through my mind was just how cool and exciting it is.
And then I thought, Wow, we’ve pretty much reached the pinnacle. I’m not quite too sure where we go from here. I’ve done it all, this is it.

As for what his millions of fans find sexy about him now, Johnson has a few guesses.
“This is the kind of question that gets me into trouble. Ah, a sense of humor. And I think probably just not trying to be sexy and just being cool and confident in your movies. I think with a lot of my fans, I’ve gotten to a very, very cool place where there’s a direct line between the man they know off-screen and the man they see on-screen.”
He’s also convinced that his grooming habits might have something to do with his sex appeal

It starts with the skin,” he says with a laugh. We’ve only got one face. You’ve got to take care of it. So I exfoliate.”

Though excited and humbled by the title, Johnson does expect to receive a little grief — especially from his guy friends.
“It’s coming now, I can just imagine how it’s going to be,” he says with a laugh.

President Buhari mourns ex NSA, Sambo Dasuki's father

President Buhari has extended his heartfelt condolence to the Dasuki family, the government and people of Sokoto State on the death of the 18th Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Ibrahim Dasuki, father of embattled former NSA, Sambo Dasuki.

In a statement released by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Shehu Garba, President Buhari also commiserated with the Jama’atul Nasril Islam (JNI).
and the Supreme Council of Islamic Affairs over the demise of the remarkable traditional ruler that devoted his life, tenure of office to the promotion of peaceful coexistence and tolerance among diverse ethnic groups in Nigeria.

The President joined them in mourning the passing of one of Nigeria's most powerful voices for peace and unity in diversity, who diligently kept faith with the virtues of the Sardauna whom he had served as a public servant.
According to President Buhari, apart from modernizing the traditional institution to bring it in tune with changing times, President Buhari believes that the late Ibrahim Dasuki, who died on Monday at the age of 93, will be long remembered for his role in the creation of the present local government system in the country.

The President paid tribute to his contribution to national peace and development, particularly his significant role in producing the report that gave birth to the current local government councils.
President Buhari prayed that Almighty Allah will comfort the family of his Eminence, grant the deceased eternal rest and reward his good virtues with Paradise.

Unsuitable Fabregas lost his place at Chelsea fc

Cesc Fabregas has only started one Premier League game for Chelsea this season

Cesc Fabregas has lost his place at Chelsea and he is not involved in the Spain squad to face England on Tuesday night. Here, we look at why he has fallen out of favour under Antonio Conte and assess his chances of winning back his place in the team...

Chelsea's recent ascendancy has received plenty of coverage but the numbers bear repeating Since October, they have won five consecutive Premier League games, scoring 16 goals without conceding and climbing from eighth to second in the table. After the chaos of last season, optimism is flooding back to Stamford Bridge.

 The switch to a 3-4-3 formation has been the catalyst. Antonio Conte's three-man defence is flanked by hard-running wing-backs Victor Moses and Marcos Alonso and protected by midfield duo N'Golo Kante and Nemanja Matic, and the forward line of Eden Hazard, Pedro and Diego Costa are freed up and running riot at the other end.

  It's a winning formula, but it has left Cesc Fabregas on the fringes. It's unfamiliar territory for a player who has averaged 46 appearances per season since 2004. Fabregas played a starring role in Chelsea's 2014/15 title triumph and featured in all but one of their Premier League games last year, but he has started only once under Conte. It's thrown his future into doubt.
Conte insists Fabregas remains in his plans, but there are big question marks over his suitability to the new manager's style. His single Premier League start was a case in point. He struggled badly in a three-man midfield against Arsenal. His old club exposed Chelsea's soft centre to go 3-0 up before half-time, and Fabregas suffered the ignominy of a 55th-minute substitution.
The question  remains

Which boss was the best player?

Ronald Koeman, Pep Guardiola and Mauricio Pochettino enjoyed fine playing careers
Premier League managers work with some of the top players in world football - but were they any good in their day?

Buhari to build infrastructure for film industry.

The Nigerian film industry had often relied on its stakeholders for its growth and development with many challenges

 Lai Mohammed, the information and culture minister, has says President Muhammadu Buhari is now interested in the industry for a reason The federal government is to invest in the infrastructure necessary to ensure the growth of the Nigerian film industry. This is not only to complement the efforts of the professionals who built the industry from the scratch, but as part of making it financially beneficial.

Lai Mohammed said government will invest in the film industry Alhaji Lai Mihammed, the information and culture minister, made the pledge at the sixth Africa International Film Festival (AFRIFF) in Lagos on Sunday, November 13.

When we trusted in the almighty oil, we built refineries, pipelines, petrol marketing companies, petrol stations etc. “Since we are now rightly shifting our focus to this sector, we must now make the necessary investments in the infrastructure that will grow the film industry.
The film industry has proven itself to be not just a great employer of labor, especially young people, but also potentially a very high foreign exchange earner because of its international appeal and demand.
 The minister said the industry has done a fantastic job without the requisite government support and partnership, and that it is time for the government to give it the necessary support. Mohammed said: “We need professional studio facilities in every state of the country. You should also not be providing your own power, borrowing at 30 percent, travelling abroad to do post-production etc. “Mr President (Muhammadu Buhari) has publicly put his weight behind the creative industry and has promised to do everything that will make it possible for us to transit from a creative industry to a creative economy. “To this end we are already in talks with state governments and investors to build studio facilities that will equal those in Mexico, India, the US etc.
This will make film making easier and increase the quality of films.” Mohammed further said the ongoing transition from analogue to digital broadcasting would help provide a major customer base for Nigerian films, since the acquisition of set-top boxes by the 24 million television households in the country would make it possible for them to buy newly-released film by the touch of the button. He5 congratulated the organisers of the festival for their laudable efforts and their investment in human capital through education and training.

Usain Bolt will train with Dortmund fc

Borussia Dortmund chief Hans-Joachim Watzke has confirmed that sprint king Usain Bolt will train with the German giants.There had been some confusion over whether theJamaican nine-time Olympic champion was serious about trying his hand at football, but Watzke has revealed it is 'no joke' and 'not a marketing move'.Dortmund and Bolt are both sponsored by the German-based sports goods company Puma, whose president contacted Dortmund to say that Bolt had asked about training with the team.

Steven Gerrard on LA GALAXY Exit

Steven Gerrard has again fanned the flames surrounding the speculation that he is to leave LAGalaxy.The former Liverpool midfielder posted a picture on Instagram with the Los Angeles city lights in the background as he posed with an Oakland Raiders can in hand.He added the caption: 'Special place, incredible view, I will miss you LA', which heavily implies that his exit is imminent from the Californian city.

 Gerrard has previously suggested he would leave the American club but never explicitly explained himself.In a previous Instagram message he said: 'Living in Los Angeles and playing for the great Galaxy supporters has been a privilege.'You have made this place feel like home to me. This city and this club will always hold a special place in my heart.Thankyou.In the wake of that message, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp publicly announced that Gerrard would be welcome back at the Merseyside Club.At a post-match press conference Klopp had said: 'Steven Gerrard is always so welcome at Liverpool FC.'You cannot imagine how welcome. So, absolutelyno problem. But everything that we have already or will speakto each other stays in this talk.

Incredible Performance Belgium destroyed Estonia 8-1

Dries Mertens and Romelu Lukaku scored twice as Belgium destroyed Estonia 8-1 to seize top spot outright in World Cup Group H qualifying on Sunday.Coach Roberto Martinez's men also struck through Thomas Meunier, Eden Hazard, Yannick Carrasco and an own goal from Ragnar Klavan, with the first three coming inside the opening 25 minutes.Estonia replied just before the half-hour through Henri Anier but it was a lonely highlight for the Baltic nation who are second from bottom with three points.

 Attention soon deflected away from the glut of goals and onto the captain on the night, Hazard, who left the field after 73 minutes when Estonia'sGert Kams appeared to tread on his foot.The Chelsea man immediately signalled to the bench and Kevin Mirallas gladly stripped down and took his place. His immediate departure certainly looked more precautionary than forced as he trudged to the bench unaided.But the sight of Hazard limping is likely to cause Antonio Conte concern ahead of Chelsea's Premier League clash against Middlesbrough next weekend.Meunier's first international goal after eight minutes began the deluge as he timed a run to the back post perfectly to head home Carrasco's cross.
Mertens' shot from outside the area took a wicked deflection for the second goal after 16 minutes and Hazard made it 3-0 with a powerful drive after a swift attacking move.
 A rare defensive slip then allowed Anier to turn and beat keeper Thibaut Courtois before the break.Belgium added three more goals in six minutes soon after the hour mark as they claimed their fourth group victory.Unmarked Carrasco finished off a square pass from Lukaku before Klavan steered a centre by Mertens into his own net.Mertens then grabbed his second goal with a chip over the goalkeeper after Lukaku's effort hadbeen well saved.Lukaku was rewarded for his contribution when his 83rd-minute shot took a deflection to leave goalkeeper Mihkel Aksalu with no chance.

The Everton striker was then fed five minutes later with a clever ball from midfield and he racedtowards goal before shooting into the corner of the net.
