Man City Manager Guardiola To Miss Two Matches After Back Surgery

The Premier League champions announced that Pep Guardiola will miss Manchester City’s next two matches after a “routine operation” on his back Tuesday.

City said their treble-winning manager had been suffering from “severe back pain for some time” and flew out to Barcelona for “emergency” yet “routine” surgery.

The Spanish boss will remain in Barcelona while he recovers from the operation. He is expected to miss City’s matches against Sheffield United this Sunday and Fulham on September 2, with assistant manager Juanma Lillo taking temporary charge in his absence.

City expects Guardiola, 52, to be back on the touchline after the international break for their visit to West Ham on September 16.

A Manchester City statement said: “Pep Guardiola has today (Tuesday) undergone a routine operation on a back problem.

“The Manchester City boss has been suffering from severe back pain for some time lately and flew out to Barcelona for emergency surgery by Dr Mireia Illueca. The surgery was successful, and Pep will now recover and rehabilitate in Barcelona.

“In his absence, assistant manager Juanma Lillo will oversee coaching the first team on the training field and assume duties on the touchline until Pep’s return.

“He is expected to return after the forthcoming international break. Everyone at Manchester City wishes Pep a speedy recovery and looks forward to seeing him back in Manchester soon.”

Sha’Carri Richardson Secures 100m Gold, Making A Bold Debut on the Global Stage

Sha’Carri Richardson of the United States of America (USA) has stormed to gold in the Women’s 100m final at the World Athletics championship in Budapest, Hungary.

Richardson ran a time of 10.65 seconds to defeat Shericka Jackson of Jamaica, who came second in a time of 10.72 seconds.

Former champion, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, ran a time of 10.77 seconds to come third in the race.

There was a scare for Richardson in the semi-final, where she came third in a time of 10.84 seconds. She took off late and had to struggle to qualify for the final.

All eyes were on Jackson and Fraser-Pryce as they were old horses in the game, but the American, running in lane nine, outwitted them all to strike gold.

Stunning a high-class field from lane nine, Richardson produced a championship record performance of 10.65 seconds - the joint-fifth fastest time ever - to claim gold on her major championship debut.

The outpouring concoction of emotions spoke volumes. It is no secret that Richardson has had to overcome major setbacks at the beginning of a career full of promise.

Thierry Henry Appointed As The New Coach For France Under-21

Former France forward Thierry Henry has been appointed coach of the country's under-21s on a two-year contract.

The Arsenal legend, who helped France win the World Cup on home soil in 1998, succeeds Sylvain Ripoli.

Henry, 46, has had two spells as an assistant coach with Belgium and managed Monaco and Montreal Impact.

He will lead a France Under-23 side at the 2024 Paris Olympics, which the French Football Federation (FFF) described as "a major objective".

Henry will also lead the under-21s' bid to qualify for the European Championship in 2025.

Former Auxerre U19 and Angers coach Gerald Baticle, 53, will join Henry's staff as an assistant.

The FFF said it had a "phase of discussions" over a new under-21 coach and had "studied several profiles of French technicians".

Henry scored 51 goals from 123 appearances for France, helping them win the European Championship in 2000.

Henry will name his first squad on 31 August for a friendly against Denmark (7 September) and a Euro U21 qualifier away to Slovenia (11 September).

Nevertheless, United said Monday in a lengthy statement: “All those involved, including Mason, rerecognisehe difficulties with him recommencing his career at Manchester United.

“However, I fully accept I made mistakes in my relationship, and I take my share of responsibility for the situations which led to the social media post.”

He added: “Today’s decision has been part of a collaborative process between Manchester United, my family and me”.

“The best decision for us all is for me to continue my football career away from Old Trafford, where my presence will not distract the club.

“I thank the club for their support since I joined aged seven. There will always be a part of me which is United.”
