Injury: Iheanacho ruled out of Manchester City’s clash with Tottenham

By

Kelechi Iheanacho is not fit enough to play for Manchester City against Tottenham Hotspur at the White Hart Lane on Saturday.
The 19-year-old midfielder who failed to travel with Manuel Pellegrini’s men who spanked Sunderland 4-1 in Tuesday’s League Cup game joins David Silva, Gael Clichy, Fabian Delph, Eliaquim Mangala and Wilfried Bony on the sidelines.

“At this moment, Mangala, Clichy, Delph, Silva, Bony and Kelechi are the six players injured,” Pellegrini told journalists at his pre-match press conference:
"Kompany is back, Hart is back, Nasri is back.
“I’m not 100% sure [when Mangala and Silva will be back], it depends on how they improve – maybe David can be fit for next Championship game, we’ll see next week. For Mangala, it will be difficult for him to be fit before the international break.
“It’s important for the team to have Vincent back. He’s just recovering, he’s the captain and he played well at the start of the season. Not just defending but he scored three goals also.
“We’ve had a lot of different injuries so it’s not just one reason but that’s why it’s important to have a squad,” he concluded.
Iheanacho has made three appearances for the Etihad Stadium giants and boast of a goal scored against Crystal Palace at the Selhurst Park.

Emma Nyra, Ubi Frankling open up on their rift

By
It is no longer news that Triple MG boss, Ubi Franklin and his record label first lady, Emma Nyra have called it quits. Yes, and it was not a matter they resolved at a roundtable, the once chummy-chummy duo took each other to the cleaners and put up a bit of a show on social media to fill their fans in on all the shindig that went down. At a point in their creamier than cream relationship, the duo were virtually inseparable, which set tongues wagging that they must have been more than mere friends. While the hint of a relationship was being dropped around, neither Ubi nor Emma saw anything wrong with it. Until the song changed! According to reports, the song changed for them when Ubi Frankin proposed to Nollywood actress, Lilian Esoro, presumably, shunning his ward who has been waiting in the wings for years. The song went from sorry to sad when Emma Nyra reportedly blurted out in an interview that she was never romantically involved with Ubi. Now, the sad song went very bad wh...
