EPL: Sarri provides update on Hazard’s injury

Chelsea manager, Maurizio Sarri has provided update on Eden Hazard’s injury.

The Italian suggested that Hazard will miss their Carabao Cup clash with Derby County on Wednesday.

Hazard injured his back in the 2-2 draw with Manchester United last Saturday.

The Belgian was unable to train this week and missed Chelsea’s win over BATE Borisov in the Europa League on Thursday and the 4-0 win over Burnley on Sunday afternoon.

Speaking about Hazard’s injury after the win at Turf Moor, Sarri said the player remains a doubt ahead of Chelsea’s Wednesday fixture.

“I want him every match, if possible. I think that he offers something different,” he told Sky Sports.

“I am very happy as the team was able to score seven goals in two matches without him.

“I want him as soon as possible. I’m not sure for Wednesday.”

I have forgiven Wizkid – Dammy Krane

Nigerian singer, Dammy Krane who engaged in a brawl with Nigerian top singer, Wizkid at Quilox in 2016, has disclosed that he has forgiven the FEVER crooner.
In the year, it was alleged that the fight ensued after Dammy Krane claimed that Wizkid stole the song, Baba Nla, from him after paying him a visit at home.
Speaking on reconciling with Wizkid after they were pictured together this year, Dammy Krane said;
Wizkid and I went to an event and from there we went out together. It was from there that we became friends again. I have forgiven him because it is just one song and we would still do songs together. We would still do one or two things together but you need to understand that we are all getting to different stages of our lives.”
“I believe that my songs would last for a long time; they are all evergreen songs and ten years from now, I know that you would always hear Dammy Krane’s songs like Amin and Amen.”

Also speaking on his ‘beef’ with Orezi over a copied hairstyle, Dammy Krane disclosed that Orezi had apologised to him.

“If you know Dammy Krane very well, you would know that I joke with a lot of things but people tend to take them seriously. I do not think we had any problems; only miscommunication. Orezi has already apologised to me because he understood that it was miscommunication. Everything that happened during that period was miscommunication,” he said.On maintaining a relationship with Tuface since he left his record label, the singer said;“I have a great relationship with Tuface and I have a learnt a lot from him. He is more like a mentor to me in the industry; I have learnt a lot about humility and hard work from him and he is also a God-fearing person. He taught me how to be a businessman as well.”

President Buhari In Closed-door Meeting With Gov. Ambode

President Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday in Abuja met behind closed door with Gov. Akinwunmi Ambode of Lagos State at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

The News Agency of Nigeria reliably learnt that the governor would be updating the president on latest political development within the All Progressives Congress in Lagos State.

The governor’s political godfather, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu and the leadership of the APC in Lagos State were alleged to have mounted pressure on Ambode, to drop his second term bid.

Tinubu, who is alleged to have endorsed Ambode’s opponent within the APC, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu, had refused to back Ambode’s second term ambition despite pleas by concerned individuals and several socio- political groups from within and outside Lagos state.

NAN, however, gathered that governors under the platform of APC, who met on Wednesday night in Abuja, had on behalf of Ambode, sought the intervention of President Buhari in the APC crisis in Lagos state.

NAN reports that the Chairman of the APC Governors’ Forum, Gov. Rochas Okorocha, delivered the governors’ message to the president few minutes before his meeting with Ambode.

A source in the presidency told NAN that the president might end the tussle between Ambode and the Mandate Group, led by the APC National leader, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.

It was gathered that the president may also meet with other APC stakeholders in Lagos state within the week as part of efforts toward resolving the rift.
