Spurs striker Solanke has ‘minor surgery’ on ankle

Dominic Solanke, a Tottenham player, has undergone “minor surgery” to heal a broken ankle.

Solanke, who last played for Spurs against Manchester City on August 23, was absent from training again on Monday in preparation for the Champions League game against Bodo/Glimt on Tuesday.

Spurs manager Thomas Frank stated at a press conference that “Dom has been having a minor surgery because we’ve decided to make a minor operation.”

Because it is a small procedure, it will mean that he won’t be ready for both Bodo/Glimt and, of course, Leeds on Saturday. After the international break, we’ll hear more about a time frame, but I don’t anticipate it to take very long.

The 28-year-old England striker had an ankle issue that he had to deal with for the majority of the pre-season, but it appeared to have been fixed by the start of August when he started playing against Paris St-Germain, Burnley, and Manchester City.

When Frank was questioned about whether the club could have had surgery sooner, he replied, “No, I think you can look at it in two ways. The answer is simple, but it’s not that simple because we probably would have had to have had the surgery a month earlier.

For me, “it is what it is” always means. We now handle it, and we must admit that our decision was made because we believed it to be the best course of action. No one wants surgery in general.

Love Island couple split just one month after starting romance outside villa

One month after being seen looking cozy on a double date night, a newlywed Love Island couple called it quits on their relationship.

Former Love Island stars have called time on their budding relationship outside of the villa. Emily Moran, 24, and Ciaran Davies, 22, had grown close in recent months, but have decided to cut their connection.

Ciaran entered the abode last year looking for love, while Emily participated in the most recent episode of the show. Both of them failed in their search on television, but it appeared as though they both appeared to have found the answer in one another.

However, a source has since stated that the reality TV stars’ relationship “just wasn’t working out.” After they had just confirmed their romance a month earlier, it is still unclear what caused their relationship to end.

“Emily and Ciaran both decided to call it quits as it just wasn’t working out between the pair of them,” a source told The Sun. The Mirror has approached representatives for Ciaran and Emily for comment.

Last month, the duo was spotted in Manchester looking closely. Ciaran and the Welsh star appeared to be enjoying each other’s company while he was spotted circling the star during the outing.

Harrison and Lauren were also on a double date when other Love Islanders made up their side. When Emily and Ciaran first became engaged in the same bar in August, they became close.

The outing led to fans speculating there could be more than just friendship on the agenda. One user on Reddit said: “I feel like this is a perfect pairing,” while another claimed their choice of the same bar was “definitely not a coincidence”.

According to reports, they made a deal shortly after Emily was brutally dumped from the villa earlier in the year. According to a source, “Ciaran initially approached Emily when she left the show just to congratulate her and stuff,” which led to them to discuss their situation.

Casey O’Gorman’s fourth appearance on Love Island was revealed as part of the news. He has also signed up for the Love Island Games spin-off as a bid for love.

The 28-year-old had been the subject of numerous rumors that he might be returning to the show for a while. The news has now been confirmed.

But he will be joined by an ex on the show, with Gabby Allen also confirmed to be taking part. The pair had won All Stars series two together earlier in the year.

The caption for the Instagram photo of the cast was “The bigger the bow, the bigger the Bombshell,” according to the Love Island USA page. Casey and Gabby, welcome to the villa!

In his promotional photo, Casey can be seen smiling to the camera while sporting a pair of salmon swimming shorts. In a ring, Gabby was seen gazing seductively while wearing a sizzling red bikini.

India’s Asian Cup win over Pakistan reignites political tensions

NewsFeed

After winning the 2025 Asia Cup against Pakistan, India’s cricket team refused to accept the real trophy from Pakistan’s Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi, hoisted an imaginary trophy. Four months prior to the match, the two nuclear-armed rivals engaged in a brief aerial conflict over a deadly attack on a tourist destination in Indian-administered Kashmir.

Israel carries out drone strike in southern Lebanon, killing one person

Lebanon’s Beirut-based National News Agency (NNA) reports that at least one person has been killed in an Israeli attack on southern Lebanon despite a ceasefire in November.

The Bekaa Valley’s Shamsiyah area had an explosion on Monday that killed an excavator and injured its driver. The victim was spotted on a stretcher by emergency responders on social media, according to reports from Al Jazeera.

Difficulty drones from Israelis flew over several villages in southern and eastern Lebanon, according to local media reports. On Monday afternoon, one drone launched a bomb on the town of Aitaroun, and the other targeted a house in Houmin al-Fauqa. In those attacks, no injuries were reported.

Since November 27 when the ceasefire was supposed to end Israel’s and Hezbollah conflict, which had been causing nearly two months of cross-border attacks, more than 150 people have been killed in Israeli attacks in Lebanon. More than 4, 000 people were killed by Israel’s war against Lebanon, Hezbollah’s military might was reduced, and its top leaders were eliminated.

violations of the ceasefire

Israel was instructed to withdraw all of its forces from Lebanese territory under the ceasefire, but it is still stationed in Lebanon’s vicinity of at least five positions.

NNA reported a “series” of raids on Sunday between the Medena Plain, Kfar Rumman, and Jarmaq, with other strikes aimed at Mahmoudiya and Jarmaq. A home in Humin was also the subject of a drone strike.

Five people, including three children, were killed earlier this month when an Israeli bomb targeted the southern city of Bint Jbeil. Israel’s military claimed the attack targeted a Hezbollah member, while Lebanon’s ministry of public health confirmed the deaths and stated in a statement that “several uninvolved civilians were killed.”

Hezbollah should first disarm, according to Israel, which has rejected the Lebanese organization’s request to withdraw from Lebanese territory.

Pressure to disarm

After the devastating airstrikes of the previous year that resulted in the death of Hassan Nasrallah, the country claims that Israel’s air strikes are intended to stop Hezbollah from regaining its military strength.

Hezbollah is also being increasingly under increasing political and diplomatic pressure to disarm. Hezbollah, which launched its attacks against Israel in solidarity with the Palestinians in Gaza and killed more than 66, 000 people during Israel’s two-year conflict, is now pressing Israel and its closest ally, the United States.

The Lebanese government gave the army the task of creating a disarmament plan on September 5.

The US special envoy for Syrian affairs, Tom Barrack, claimed that any disarmament effort is more complicated because of Hezbollah’s fervent political influence.

The Lebanese government’s “diplomatic mission” is to persuade Hezbollah to abandon its weapons, he said, adding that the United States is not interested in pressuring anyone.

However, earlier this month, the US Department of Defense announced a $ 14.2 million donation to the Lebanese army to aid its “degrade Hezbollah” operation, citing the administration’s plan to combat Iranian-backed armed groups in the area.

Hezbollah, however, has refuted any notions that it will surrender its weapons, claiming that Lebanon is being weakened by US and Israeli pressure.

Hezbollah Secretary-General Naim Qassem assured the crowds in Beirut on Saturday that despite severe losses, the organization would continue to operate its military.

Nepal skittle Windies for 83 in historic series win

Sharjah, a T20 international

Nepal 173-6 (20 overs): Sheikh 68* (47), Hosein 2-21, Mayers 2-26

West Indies 83 all out (17.1 overs): Holder 21 (15), Alam 4-24, Bhurtel 3-16

By 90 runs, Nepal won.

West Indies lost their T20 series against minnows Nepal in the United Arab Emirates after being bowled out for just 83.

Nepal, who are 18th in the world, has never played a full-fledged nation in a T20 series before this week, but they have already won with a win.

The windies’ total of 83 runs against an associate is the lowest a full member nation has ever scored against an associate, and their 90-run winning margin is also the largest among associates against full members.

The West Indies’ Test team was humiliated by Australia in a crushing defeat in July, which was the second-lowest score in Test history and the worst since 1955.

Dr. Kishore Shallow, president of Cricket West Indies, convened an urgent meeting to review the series and sought the advice of legendary former players Sir Viv Richards, Sir Clive Lloyd, and Brian Lara.

Additionally, they were unable to make it to the 50-over World Cup in 2023, and they are currently out of the 2027 edition’s standings.

A 100-run fourth-wicket partnership between Aasif Sheikh and Sundeep Jora, with Jora hitting five sixes in Sharjah, gave Nepal a respectable score of 173-6 in their 20 overs.

West Indies, who are currently in sixth place in the T20 standings, never really started the chase, with only three batters achieving double figures.

In the 12th, they went 63-4 before falling to just 83-4 overall.

The nation, which was coached by Stuart Law from Australia, will compete in the 2026 T20 World Cup qualifiers next month after participating in the 2024 and 2014 competitions.

On Tuesday (15:30 BST), the series wraps up with the third T20.
