Lynn, who just started facing throwdowns, will take on Ben Cutting and Billy Stanlake next week and that will give him an idea of how his recovery is going. “It’s tracking really nicely. It’s a short turnaround with the timeframe that we’ve got but it’s all going well. The docs and the physios are happy so that’s all I can do. Fingers crossed I can keep going in the right direction and try to make myself available for the first game of the IPL....

Unfortunately, the Royal Challengers batsmen failed to get going as none of them could touch the 25-run mark. Devdutt Padikkal emerged as the top scorer with 22 runs, while the likes of Virat Kohli, AB de Villiers, Glenn Maxwell and Wanindu Hasaranga failed to touch double digits. Varun Chakravarthy bowled a magical spell of 3/13 and Andre Russell scalped three wickets as well.

Sydney, Nov 29 (PTI) K L Rahul is a strong contender for the opening slots for India’s first Test against Australia next week but his knack of “finding new ways to get himself out” has not gone down well with assistant coach Sanjay Bangar.

For the second straight World Cup, FIFA has chosen to solely use its October world rankings to determine the teams in the top pot. The top seven ranked teams in the October rankings in addition to host Brazil will be in the seeded pot, and Klinsmann says that past World Cup experience should matter and that the current process leads to an unbalance among the groups. “Looking at Pot No....

U.S. Soccer announced it had parted ways with Klinsmann as coach and technical director of the national team program after they suffered a humiliating 4-0 defeat to Costa Rica in CONCACAF World Cup qualifying last week. It was the nation’s worst defeat in a World Cup qualifier since 1957 as the States dropped to the bottom of the qualifying group, having lost 2-1 at home to rivals Mexico four days earlier....

Last season’s runners-up are in serious danger of a group-stage exit from the competition after losing 2-1 to a Neymar-inspired PSG at the Parc des Princes, as Klopp was outmanoeuvred by his opposite number Thomas Tuchel. The result left Liverpool in third place in Group C with one game left, three points behind Napoli and two adrift of PSG. Given the tight nature of the group, the Premier League side now have to beat Napoli at Anfield either 1-0 or by two clear goals if they are to be sure of reaching the last 16, otherwise they will be left hoping for a PSG slip-up at Red Star Belgrade....

England international Gomez underwent surgery on Monday in a bid to assist his recovery from the lower-leg fracture he suffered against Burnley in December. Despite initially being expected to miss only six weeks, the 21-year-old has not featured since that 3-1 win at Turf Moor, though an encouraging timeline for his return has now been set. Trent Alexander-Arnold (knee), Jordan Henderson (muscle) and Georginio Wijnaldum (knee) - none of whom featured in the 1-1 draw at West Ham on Monday - are all closer to selection after completing training on Thursday....

Firmino, 27, missed his side’s 5-0 thrashing of Huddersfield Town in the Premier League on Friday due to a muscle injury.

It was not high intensity, we just had to work on set-pieces a little bit and here and there a couple of things,” he told a news conference....

Atleti secured a much-needed 1-0 win over Las Palmas on Saturday thanks to Saul Niguez’s goal shortly before the hour. ‘Lindelof perfect for Man Utd’ But the 2013-14 LaLiga champions still sit sixth in Spain’s top flight having struggled to find the type of consistency that has become synonymous with Simeone’s celebrated reign in the capital. The former Argentina international negotiated down his March 2015 contract extension - which ran until the end of the 2019-20 season - to expire in June 2018 earlier this year, heightening speculation over the future of one of football’s most sought-after coaching talents....

Bringing these back to Waddle Dee Town will allow him to evolve a Copy Ability, changing its functions slightly and making it significantly stronger on the whole. Kirby and the Forgotten Land’s Copy Ability evolutions are great fun, but more importantly, the mechanic can survive. The concept is simple enough to implement into just about any other Kirby game, and Forgotten Land’s list of Copy Abilities is so short that HAL still has lots of room to experiment....
