Salah has played for the senior national team for 14 years and his importance to Egypt is such that high-ranking government officials have been known to get involved when he has been injured.”I even had calls from Egypt’s Minister of Health,” recalls Dr Mohamed Aboud, the national team’s medic, about the time Salah suffered a serious shoulder injury in Liverpool’s defeat to Real Madrid in the 2018 Champions League final, leading to speculation he could miss the World Cup in Russia a few weeks later.”I told him not to panic, everything is going well.”Speaking from his medical clinic in the…
Turkey, Northern Ireland’s next opponents, sit one point ahead of them on seven points.Their meeting could therefore be crucial in terms of who secures second spot. Turkey were the 1-0 victors when the sides met earlier in the campaign, but NI will take confidence from their performances under McArdle so far.While the final two matches will not affect Northern Ireland’s World Cup play-off place, McArdle believes the outcomes could have longer-term consequences. “The higher finish gives you that ranking for the next round of the Uefa Nations League for the draws,” McArdle said.”The actual path one and path two [for…

Prograis was asked for his thoughts on a possible Garcia-Benn matchup. “I think it’s a great fight and I pick Conor Benn. I think Ryan Garcia is a better boxer, but if they get to a fight, which might happen, I will pick Conor Benn,” said Prograis to Fighthype.” Prograis pointed to Benn’s style as a major factor in his prediction. “He’s a raw fighter. He wants to get at you.” Ryan’s future has been the subject of speculation since his loss to Rolando ‘Rolly’ Romero, while Benn has continued to push for major fights after rebuilding his position with…
Good morning from Dublin 🇮🇪. It feels like I’ve been away a long time, but it was only last Thursday when I flew to Budapest. A lot has happened in that time, I guess.

I hope you’re all back safe and sound now though. I arrived to the airport, jumped in a cab to go into town to meet Mrs Blogs for a bite to eat, and on…

Bethell is…
Hearn made it clear he sees the situation very differently. “It can definitely get made without being a unification, but then what it is, it’s a voluntary defense. How can it be an equal split? Who has Adam Azim ever beaten?” said Hearn to The Stomping Ground. Tell me his best win. Claggett. Dalton Smith went to New York and knocked out Subriel Matias to win the WBC world title. How can you possibly talk about an equal split?” Smith captured the WBC title with his stoppage victory over Matias earlier this year, a result that elevated him into the…
