Napoli Hit by Major Blow as Lukaku Suffers Serious Injury Ahead of Serie A Kick-Off
Rana Atef Napoli have been dealt a huge setback just days before the start of the 2025/26 Serie A season, after the club confirmed that Belgian striker Romelu Lukaku has sustained a serious thigh injury that could sideline him until November. Lukaku was forced off during Thursday's 2-1 friendly win over Olympiacos and underwent medical tests that revealed the extent of the damage. In an official statement, Napoli announced: 'Examinations carried out at the Pineta Grande Hospital confirmed a high-grade tear in the rectus femoris muscle of Lukaku's left thigh. The player has already begun a rehabilitation program and will undergo a surgical consultation in the coming days.' The injury is a major blow for coach Antonio Conte, who will now be without one of his key attacking options for the season opener against Sassuolo this Saturday. Reports in Corriere dello Sport suggest that Napoli could move quickly in the transfer market, with several forwards already linked as potential replacements. Among the names mentioned are Joshua Zirkzee (Manchester United), Jean-Philippe Mateta (Crystal Palace), Artem Dovbyk (Roma), and Nikola Krstovic (Lecce). For Napoli supporters, the setback is particularly disappointing as they had hoped to see a powerful new strike partnership between Lukaku and summer signing Lorenzo Lucca. Instead, the club enters the new campaign facing a difficult challenge to maintain its attacking strength without their star forward. read more Japan Stun Spain 2-1 to Qualify for World Cup Last 16 World Cup 2022: Get to Know Confirmed Line-ups of Japan and Spain Group E Decider Saudi Arabia Bid Farewell to World Cup after 2-1 Loss to Mexico Tunisia Achieve Historic Win over France but Fail to Qualify Tunisia to Clash against France in World Cup Sports Get to Know Squad of Group D Teams in World Cup Sports Al Ahly Gift EGP 70,000 to Players After Claiming Egyptian Super Cup Title Sports Bencharki Hits First 2 Goals with Al Jazira Since Leaving Zamalek Sports Arsenal Possible Line-up for Nottingham Forest Videos & Features Story behind Trending Jessica Radcliffe Death Video News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt News The Jessica Radcliffe Orca Attack? 100% Fake and AI-Generated

UFC 319: Khamzat Chimaev Crowned UFC Middleweight Champion
Rana Atef Khamzat Chimaev becomes the new UFC middleweight champion. The Russian fighter dethroned South Africa's Dricus Du Plessis early Sunday at the United Center in Chicago, claiming a unanimous decision victory in a one-sided contest. Chimaev dictated the pace from the opening bell, securing more than ten takedowns and spending the majority of the fight controlling Du Plessis on the ground with relentless pressure, knees, and punches. The only real scare for Chimaev came in the fifth round when Du Plessis locked in a guillotine attempt, forcing the challenger to defend what proved to be the fight's lone moment of danger. All three judges scored the bout 50-44 in favor of Chimaev, who extended his perfect record to 15-0. While the crowd expressed its frustration at the wrestling-heavy affair, Chimaev was unfazed, celebrating his victory in trademark fashion. 'Happy, happy always,' he said. 'Get my money. Dana, save my money, brother.' Chimaev was quick to credit his opponent, praising Du Plessis for his toughness: 'That guy is strong to the finish. He's got great heart.' read more Japan Stun Spain 2-1 to Qualify for World Cup Last 16 World Cup 2022: Get to Know Confirmed Line-ups of Japan and Spain Group E Decider Saudi Arabia Bid Farewell to World Cup after 2-1 Loss to Mexico Tunisia Achieve Historic Win over France but Fail to Qualify Tunisia to Clash against France in World Cup Sports Get to Know Squad of Group D Teams in World Cup Sports Al Ahly Gift EGP 70,000 to Players After Claiming Egyptian Super Cup Title Sports Bencharki Hits First 2 Goals with Al Jazira Since Leaving Zamalek Sports Arsenal Possible Line-up for Nottingham Forest Videos & Features Story behind Trending Jessica Radcliffe Death Video News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt News The Jessica Radcliffe Orca Attack? 100% Fake and AI-Generated

Niger frustrates South Africa to keep Group C on a knife edge
Published: Friday, 15 August 2025 South Africa were left to rue missed opportunities and VAR drama after being held to a goalless draw by Niger in their TotalEnergies African Nations Championship (CHAN) Group C clash in Kampala on Friday night. The result at the Nelson Mandela Stadium means Bafana Bafana remain on five points, level with Algeria and just one behind leaders Uganda, with all three sides still fighting for a place in the quarter-finals. The evening's biggest talking points came in the first half when South Africa were denied two penalties after lengthy video reviews. In the 18th minute, Moroccan referee Bouchra Kerboubi initially pointed to the spot for a handball inside the Niger box. However, after reviewing the footage on the pitchside monitor, she overturned her decision. As the half drew to a close, South Africa appealed again for a penalty during stoppage time. This time too, after a VAR consultation, the referee waved play on — leaving South Africa frustrated and their fans incensed. Despite controlling possession and creating the clearer chances, Murfy Ntseki's side found Niger's defence, marshalled with resilience by coach Harouna Doula's men, impossible to break down. For Niger, who came into the match on the back of two defeats and without a point, the result represented a measure of pride. Their defensive organisation stood in stark contrast to earlier group performances, as they repeatedly stifled South Africa's attempts in the final third. While chances of qualification were already gone, Doula's team showed determination to make their mark on the competition, frustrating a side with quarterfinal ambitions. The second half followed a similar pattern, with South Africa dominating possession but lacking the cutting edge to capitalise. Ntseki introduced fresh legs in attack to try and force a breakthrough, while Doula countered with changes aimed at bolstering Niger's defence and exploiting counter-attacking opportunities. Neither approach paid dividends. South Africa's forwards struggled with their finishing, while Niger's rare forays forward never truly troubled the Bafana Bafana goalkeeper. The goalless stalemate has left Group C finely balanced heading into the final round of fixtures. Uganda sit top on six points, despite not playing in this round. South Africa and Algeria are level on five points, with Algeria ahead on goal difference, while Niger collected their first point but remain bottom alongside eliminated Guinea. The permutations are clear: South Africa must now beat hosts Uganda in their final match to be certain of qualification. Algeria, meanwhile, require only a draw against already-eliminated Niger to advance. With three sides still vying for two quarterfinal places, the stage is set for a dramatic conclusion to Group C. For South Africa, the draw against Niger was a missed opportunity, but their fate is still in their hands. As Ntseki summed up afterwards, his team 'must be clinical' when they face Uganda in what promises to be one of the most decisive fixtures of the tournament so far.
