Antonio Conte is confident John Terry will be fit
to take on Liverpool after the Chelsea captain
suffered an ankle injury in a controversial 2-2
draw at Swansea.
Terry's participation for Liverpool's Premier
League visit to Stamford Bridge on Friday was
thrown into doubt when he pulled up in the
closing stages of the match.
The Chelsea captain reportedly left the Liberty
Stadium on crutches and Conte said more about
Terry's condition would be known on Monday.
"I don't know the extent of the injury but
tomorrow we will see the situation about his
ankle," said Chelsea manager Conte.
"But he is a warrior and I am not worried."
Chelsea dominated before the break to
deservedly lead through Diego Costa's 18th-
minute goal.
But Gylfi Sigurdsson's penalty and Leroy Fer's
disputed goal within a few minutes of each other
saw Swansea take an unlikely lead.
Costa, however, salvaged a point for Chelsea
with a spectacular bicycle kick - despite some
claims of a foul - nine minutes from time, his
fourth goal of the season saving the Blues'
unbeaten record.
"It's very difficult to talk about the game and the
final result because I think Chelsea deserved to
win," said Conte.
"We created a lot of chances to score many
goals, and I think we were dominating the game
when we were leading 1-0.
"But in only two minutes we were losing 2-1.
"For the second goal I think everyone can see
the foul on (Gary) Cahill and there is a big
mistake from the referee.
"I also want to say that this can happen for one
side or the other side. I don't want to complain,
but this is the reality.
"But we had a fantastic reaction, the players
showed we did not want to lose and we tried to
win until the end.
"It is a pity because I think we lost two points
today. Now we must look forward and prepare
the next game."

Deputy senate president, Senator Ike
Ekweremadu has asked President Muhammadu
Buhari to to immediately assemble a team of
economic experts to come up with workable
ideas that will take the country out of recession.
Ekweremadu urged President Buhari to look
beyond party affiliation to constitute a Special
Economic Squad to rescue the nation from
present economic meltdown.
He noted that the present economic challenges
were not beyond redemption, but could actually
become the nation’s turning point away from an
oil-driven economy to real prosperity if the right
policies and structures were put in place.

“I warned long ago that elections had come and
gone and we should move from politics to
governance. It is time for governance and we must
bring all capable hands on deck, irrespective of
political, religious or ethnic backgrounds.
“Nigerians are facing hard times; and all they are
interested in are positive results and urgent
succour. They don’t care whether you are All
Progressives Congress, APC, or Peoples
Democratic Party, PDP and whether you are North
or South. The good news is that capable hands
abound in the country. We must assemble them
and give them both the mandate and liberty to
help the president’s team to revamp the nation’s
economy.”
The Deputy Senate President also commended
the security agencies for the arrangements put
in place to ensure a hitch-free Sallah.
Meanwhile, Ekiti state governor, Ayodele Fayose,
has expressed hope that the country would be
great again as he urge all to adhere to the
tenets of peace, perseverance, tolerance, peace
and love for one another as preached by Islam.
Fayose in his congratulatory message to
Muslims on the celebration of the Eid-el-Kabir
urged Nigerians to pray for President
Muhammadu Buhari and his administration and
ask God to give them the inspiration, wisdom
and knowledge to lead the country.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has arrested a man identified as Ibrahim Babangida, for offences bordering on criminal breach of trust, attempted theft, conspiracy and impersonation. Also arrested with him is another suspect bearing Murtala Mohammed, along with the driver of the agency, who was identified as Nasiru Isa. The driver, who joined the Commission about 18 months ago, is a member of a criminal syndicate that attempted to break into a sealed property by the EFCC, with the intent of carting away goods suspected to be proceeds of money laundering. The syndicate, apart from Isa, Babangida and Mohammed, includes a mobile police officer, Corporal Aliyu Ismaila, Abubakar Jibrin, Abdulsalam Ado, Reuben Dauda, Hassan Aliyu, Sani Yusuf. Located in the choice area of Garki, Abuja, the property is currently under investigation by the agency, and became a subject of interest, in the aftermath of findings into the N3.9 billion fraud case involving a former Chief of Defence Staff, CDS, Air Chief Marshal Alex Badeh (retd). The property was also linked to the wife of the former CDS. Investigations by EFCC operatives revealed that shortly after the property was sealed, some individuals moved about 12 bags believed to contain items linked to money laundering offence, into the property. On August 30, operatives of the EFCC as part of monitoring activities on the sealed property, had gone to site to execute a search. However, members of the syndicate took to their heels on sighting the operatives of the anti-graft agency. A carpenter, Yakubu Muhammad, who was hired by the syndicate, was left behind and was subsequently arrested by the operatives. The carpenter, who has been cooperating with operatives, confessed that he was not in the know of the illicit activity. He said he was only brought in by the syndicate to assist with the use of his carpentry tools to break into the property. Investigations revealed that one of those in the know about the goods was the brain behind the scheming to steal them. The syndicate decided they would need to subdue the security man at the property, which would mean they would need to involve security personnel in the syndicate. Subsequently, Mr. Isa was contacted. To further beef up the security aspect of the crime, he also contacted his friend, Mr. Ismaila, who came for the “operation” fully armed. In perpetrating the crime, Mr. Dauda had posed to be a senior staff with the EFCC, while Mr. Jibrin posed as an Intelligence police officer in the office of the Inspector General of Police However, nemesis caught up with them on August 30 when they were caught in the act of breaking into the property, having successfully overpowered the security guard at the entrance. They would be charged to court as soon as investigations are concluded.

Chelsea have a list of teams that they won’t conduct transfer business with, according to Bristol City’s chief operating officer. The Premier League club sent 38 players out on loan during the summer window, one of whom was highly rated 18-year-old Tammy Abraham who joined Bristol City on a season-long deal. And Mark Ashton claims Chelsea needed to be convinced of City’s willingness to give Abraham playing time, and revealed that the Blues will no longer allow players to join certain teams on loan. “At the end of last season, Lee [Johnson, the Bristol City manager] went to Chelsea’s training ground and presented to [technical director] Michael Emenalo, while I went to Stamford Bridge and met Roman Abramovich’s board of directors,” Ashton told the Bristol Post . ‘They had tried these arrangements with English clubs before and, in their words, they hadn’t worked. They gave me a list of clubs they would not do business with. “I asked them to give us Tammy for the season and then judge us on what we do, not what we say. I told them we would show them what we could do and then build a long-term relationship. “We then did the deal with Chelsea and sorted all of the finances, which were far from straightforward. Then we had to wait for [new Chelsea head coach Antonio] Conte.”

In his book, 'I am Zlatan', Ibrahimovic explains how a reunion with the Portuguese boss led to the collapse of his relationship with the Catalan during his Barcelona day I still don’t know what [Guardiola’s] problem was. Or, well... I don't think the guy can handle strong personalities. He wants nice school boys. And worse: he runs away from his problems. He can't look them in the eye and that makes everything so much worse. So, it got worse [at Barcelona] when the ash cloud from the volcano on Iceland came. No flights at all in Europe and we were going to San Siro to face Inter. We took the bus. Some brain-dead person at Barca thought that was a good idea. I was free from injuries then. But the trip became a disaster. It took 16 hours and we were all worn out when we arrived in Milan. It was our most important game so far that season, the semi-final of the Champions League, and I was prepared for mayhem, booing and whistling at my old arena. But that was no problem; that drives me. But the situation apart from that was terrible. And I think Guardiola had a hang up on Mourinho. Jose Mourinho is a big star. He had won the Champions League already with Porto. He was my coach at Inter. He's cool. The first time he met Helena he whispered to her: "Helena, you only have one mission. Feed Zlatan, let him sleep, keep him happy!" The guy says what he wants. I like him. He's the leader of an army. But he also cares. He was sending me text messages all the time in Inter asking how I was feeling. He's the opposite of Guardiola. If Mourinho lights up a room, Guardiola pulls the blinds. I guess Guardiola was now trying to measure up to him. "It's not Mourinho we are facing - it's Inter," he said, like we thought we'd play ball with the coach. And then he pulled his philosophy crap. I was barely listening. Why would I? It was advanced crap about blood, sweat and tears; sh*t like that. I've never heard a coach talk like that. Pure garbage. But now he finally came up to me. It was during the practice at San Siro and people were there watching, like, "Wow! Ibra is back!" "Can you play from the start?" Guardiola asked. "Definitely," I answered. "But are you prepared?" "Definitely. I feel fine." "But are you ready?" He was like a parrot and I got some nasty vibes. "Listen, it was a terrible trip, but I'm in good form. The injury is gone. I'll give it my all." Guardiola looked as though he doubted me… But I got to play from the start and we went 1-0 up. Then the game turned. I was substituted after 60 minutes and we lost 3-1. It was s***. I was furious. But, in the earlier days, like at Ajax, I could dwell on a loss for days or even weeks. Now I have Helena and the kids. They help me forget and move on. And I was focusing on the return game at Camp Nou. The return game was incredibly important and the excitement was building up, day by day. The pressure was incredible. It was like thunder in the air and we had to win big to advance. But then, I don't even want to think about it, or, well, I do. It made me stronger. We won 1-0. But that wasn't enough. We were eliminated from the Champions League and afterwards Guardiola looked at me like it was my fault. I felt like sh*t sitting in the dressing room and Guardiola was staring at me like I was a problem, some freak. It was insane. He was a wall, a stone wall. I didn't get a single sign of life from him and I wanted to get far away every second. I was no longer part of the team and when we played Villarreal, he let me play five minutes. Five minutes! I was boiling inside, not because I was on the bench, as I can deal with that if the coach is man enough to say, "You're not good enough, Zlatan." But Guardiola didn't say a single word, nothing, and at this point, I'd had it. I could feel it in my entire body, and if I was Guardiola, I would have been scared. Not that I'm a fighter. I've done all kinds of crazy s***. But I don't fight, well, on the pitch I've knocked one or two out. But still, when I get angry, my eyes turn black. You don't want to be anywhere near me. And let me tell you in detail what happened. After the game I went into the dressing room. I hadn't exactly planned some raging attack. But I wasn't happy, to use mild words, and in the dressing room my enemy stood, scratching his bald head. Yaya Toure and a few others were there. I was staring at the big metal box where we put our clothes. Then I kicked it. I think it flew three metres. But I wasn't done yet. Far from it. I yelled: "You have no balls!" And probably some worse things. Then, I added: "You sh*t yourself in front of Mourinho. You can go f**k yourself!"

The former Super Eagles skipper is saddened by the state of Nigerian football and believes ex-players should be given a chance to take charge of administration Kanu Nwankwo hopes ex-internationals are given the opportunity to help rescue Nigeria football from sinking further. The Super Eagles legend expressed his unhappiness at the Super Eagles’ inability to qualify for Gabon 2017 Africa Cup of Nations, and felt that could have been averted if those who played the game had a say in terms of administration. “It worries me as a former captain and player. It’s something that doesn’t make us sleep well,” said Kanu. "We’re missing out on too many competitions, and this is not the Nigeria we know and there’s something wrong somewhere. “People come up to say ‘Kanu go and do something,’ but we don’t have that opportunity especially when you talk but people don’t listen to you; it hurts. "We want to contribute, and we don’t have to be coaches to contribute, because we’re part of Nigeria and great ambassadors, so we have to play our own part but when the doors aren’t opened for us to play a part we’ll just sit at home and talk from now till forever and nothing will happen. "Those in the powerhouse have to realise they have people like us [ex internationals] that can play our part,” he concluded. *Kanu was speaking at the launch launch of Star Football League, a collaboration between Star Lager Beer and five major European clubs (Arsenal, Manchester City, PSG, Juventus and Real Madrid) to further strengthen the ties between the clubs and their fans in the Nigeria.
