Chelsea's Joao Pedro ready to start in Club World Cup semi after Rio beach break
The Brazil striker completed his £60million move to the Blues from Brighton last week and was immediately named on the bench for Friday's Club World Cup quarter-final win over Palmeiras in Philadelphia. Now with fellow forward Liam Delap suspended for Tuesday's semi-final against another Brazilian side, Fluminense, in New York, the 23-year-old is poised to make his first start. It has been a whirlwind week for Joao Pedro, who had been on holiday when the call from Chelsea came, but he says he is primed for action. 'I was on holiday,' he said. 'I was in Brazil – yes, beach, Brazilian food, spending time with friends. 'But I was always training – I have a personal trainer – so I was ready. Imagine if I didn't train and Chelsea called me to come, then it would be more difficult for me. 'If I'm going to start or not, it's not my decision, but I will try to improve, be ready for (head coach) Enzo (Maresca) and if he needs me we will see.' Joao Pedro, who appeared as a second-half substitute in the 2-1 win over Palmeiras, began his professional career with Fluminense. He said: 'Of course I spent a lot of time and years there. I grew up there and it will be an unbelievable experience, but now I play for Chelsea so I need to focus on my team and who plays better will win the game.' Joao Pedro's Brighton career ended under a cloud. He received a three-game ban after being sent off at Brentford in April and was then dropped for their last two matches following a reported training group bust-up with team-mate Jan Paul van Hecke. Asked about the latter incident, he said: 'I think the people who know me, know my character, but when two players want to win, these things happen and this is normal. 'I now play for Chelsea so I just want to talk about Chelsea. It was just two players in the moment, we both wanted to win.' It is not yet clear which position Joao Pedro will play at Chelsea, with Delap and Nicolas Jackson also competing for the centre-forward's spot. 'Delap has a style, Jackson another and I have my way, but I think that's good for Chelsea,' he added. 'I think who brings more good things to the team is going to play. Everyone will have to work hard and then Enzo will decide.' Asked about this selection dilemma at his pre-match press conference, Maresca said: 'I've said many times, I prefer to have five players scoring 10, 12 goals each than just once striker scoring 40 goals. 'But I think Joao can play in all the attacking positions for us. He can play wide, he can be inside or he can play as a nine.'

Top Democrat Hakeem Jeffries brutally mocked after getting busted in embarrassing Photoshop fail
A top Democrat has been accused of Photoshopping himself in an Instagram post. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries raised eyebrows on Sunday after posing for a photo in his hometown of Brooklyn, New York. In the image, the 54-year-old leans against a park bench with his hands in his pockets. 'Home sweet home,' he captioned it, before resharing the post on his Instagram Stories with Lil' Kim's Lighter's Up playing. However, fans quickly noticed that the bench Jeffries was leaning on was drastically warped around his hips and upper thighs, indicating that the image may have been edited. 'Bro why did you Photoshop your hips? Or are park benches in Brooklyn wavy like that?' one follower commented. 'You've got a terrible social media team, my man. Work on those editing skills,' added a second. A third wrote, 'How is this post helpful with everything going on in our country.' Jeffries was also brutally mocked on X, formerly Twitter, including by a number of popular political influencers. 'Hakeem Jeffries is such a charisma black hole that it's warping the fabric of spacetime,' wrote journalist Ken Klippenstein. 'Hakeem Jeffries slimming himself in Photoshop is the most transparency we've seen from Democrats in years,' said Republican commentator Erin Maguire. 'LMAO! Hakeem Jeffries tried to make a super relatable post on his Instagram, but he is so photoshopped everyone noticed the entire BENCH is WARPED,' wrote Florida-based pundit Eric Daugherty. has contacted Hakeem for comment. It comes just days after Jeffries put a few lawmakers to sleep in the House chamber during a marathon overnight session while pushing back against President Donald Trump's 'Big, Beautiful Bill.' While Republicans worked to gather the votes necessary for final passage of the massive Trump-backed bill last week, Democrats, led by House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, deployed delay tactics. Jeffries took to the floor just before 5am to begin an arduous, hours-long speech about the dangers presented by the GOP legislation. Social media was ablaze with comments from people calling out the politician's Photoshop job 'I feel the obligation Mr. Speaker to stand on this House floor and take my sweet time,' the Democrat leader proclaimed well into his remarks. His speech began with stories of Americans who could be impacted by the Trump bill's cuts to Medicaid and social programs. As of 9.45am, the New Yorker was still droning on while several of his fellow Democrats could be seen behind him with eyes closed and heads folded down. Despite his enthusiasm for hampering the GOP's plans, his colleagues seemed less excited. In fact, many appeared to be asleep. 'While Hakeem Jeffries continues putting people to sleep with his lies about the One Big Beautiful Bill, we remain focused on delivering historic tax cuts for families and small businesses, secure borders, and energy dominance,' Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks, R-Iowa, wrote on X. White House Congressional Communications Director Charyssa Parent noted on X: 'Rep. Jeffries has put his own members to sleep.'
