Sekou Kone health update issued after Man Utd star, 19, spent night in hospital as worrying scenes saw match abandoned
THE Manchester United star who suffered a worrying head injury has been discharged from hospital. Sekou Kone, 19, was playing for the Red Devils' Under-21s side on Wednesday night. 2 2 But just before half-time away at Tamworth in the National League Cup, he went down in troubling scenes. Kone headed the ball away at a corner but clashed heads and fell to the floor. After initially getting up, United medics told him to stay down so he could be assessed. And Kone was taken off the field on a stretcher with a mask over his face before being transported to hospital in an ambulance. The match was abandoned because there was a delay in sourcing a required replacement ambulance needed at Tamworth's stadium for the game to continue. United confirmed last night Kone was "conscious, stable and communicating with United's medical team". And now BBC Sport report that he has left hospital. Reporter Simon Stone tweeted on Thursday afternoon: "Kone was discharged from hospital early this morning and continues to recover at home in Manchester." The positive health update prompted a wave of replies from concerned fans. One said: "Thank goodness! Great work by the medical team to ensure he was safe and got the care he needed. Great to hear he is doing okay." Another wrote: "Safe recovery Kone." Kone is a highly-rated star who joined United a year ago in a deal worth £1million from boyhood club Guidars. The Malian wonderkid has been dubbed the "next Yaya Toure". Kone came to United's attention after impressing at the 2023 U17 World Cup as his nation came third. He is yet to make his senior debut for the Red Devils, but he played 14 times for the U21s last season.

Top NFL insider Adam Schefter reveals how the demands of his job ruined his social life
The never-ending saga of breaking news for trades and free agency in sports has taken away the social lives of the people who deliver that information to the world. ESPN's Adam Schefter may be the best example of that, having been one of the top insiders in the NFL for the better part of a decade. Appearing on 'The Mental Game' podcast, Schefter revealed the impact that his job has had - not only on his social life, but his family's as well. He revealed that he and his wife, Sharri, used to go out to group dinners with friends and other couples. During those meet-ups, Schefter's job would constantly interrupt things. Eventually, the Schefters abandoned going to those outings altogether. 'My wife is a homebody and that works well with the job, because inevitably, we'll be at home, and stories will happen,' Schefter explained. Schefter says he and his wife, Sharri, no longer schedule group dinners with their friends after he was forced to leave multiple times due to the rigorous and constant demands of his job 'And I don't have to feel the guilt of being out to dinner. I've had it happen so many times now where I've been out to dinner with another couple or we've been in a group, and I have to go, 'Excuse me, I have to go work on something.' It has happened too many times to count, and it never seems to fail.' Initially, Sharri was the one to notice when Adam's job would take over. Eventually, she began to ban outings during NFL free agency and the draft in order to stop the disruptions. But after a while, the Schefter's began to stop going scheduling dinners and dates with friends completely. 'So we just don't do those things,' Schefter explained. 'We stay home, we order in, we hang out with our dogs, stream some shows. 'And when the phone call comes in, "Excuse me." I don't have to step away from the table, I don't have to leave the restaurant. I've had that happen too many times.' Schefter's admission isn't the only recent example of an insider revealing how their job has impacted their social life. Earlier this week, Schefter's colleague Ian Rapoport revealed how he broke the news of Baker Mayfield's trade to the Carolina Panthers at an inopportune time. Speaking to Claire Rogers, Rapoport revealed that he was standing in a bunker - ready to hit a shot - when his source tipped him off that the news was about to break. 'So I'm playing really, really well at Congressional [Country Club in Maryland]. We get to like the 16th tee and I get a text like "Get ready.",' Rapoport said. After hitting his drive and approach shot, he found himself on the beach before getting a second message telling him that it was almost time to confirm the trade. 'Balls in the bunker, I'm supposed to hit it... so I say to my buddy, I can't hit, let's let a group play through. 'At some point he's like, you gotta go. I'm like "Hold my phone, if you get a thumbs up, go to Twitter and hit send, but I'm going to hit my bunker shot. So I hit a terrible bunker shot, way, way back of the green... and then I get my phone back, I get a thumbs up, I hit send and I'm like "YES". 'It's a great moment. Two putt, go to the next hole and I'm so pumped up and I hit a mammoth drive. I'm like "This is the best."'
