Nico de Boinville healing ‘very well', says Henderson
Henderson was able to offer a positive update, with a September return on the cards.
'I'm pleased to report that Nico is recovering very well and has just started the process of rehabilitation, whereby he's free of all neck braces and things like that, so is now able to fully begin his route to getting back in the saddle,' the Seven Barrows handler told Unibet.
'He can now go full-on fitness-wise, and if all goes well, which it should, he'll be back on a horse in a few weeks.
'He hasn't set a date for his return, because there is obviously no need to rush back for anything, but he's hoping to be ready at some stage in September, which is all very good news.'

Airdrie win sets up Premier Sports Cup showdown cracker
The Diamonds beat Montrose 2-1 against Montrose at Arbroath's Gayfield last night Goals from Euan Henderson and Lewis McGrattan handed Airdrie a 2-1 Premier Sports Cup win over Montrose last night, that sets up a C 'winner takes it all' showdown at home to Alloa Athletic at New Broomfield on Saturday. A late rally from Montrose wasn't enough to stop the Diamonds from going top of the group on goal difference, with both themselves and Alloa on maximum nine points from their three games so far. Two goals in six second-half minutes sent Airdrie through. Henderson opened the scoring in 56 minutes, when he darted down the left flank and tried to pick out Chris Mochrie. Though the Diamonds No.7 didn't get a touch on the ball, he did enough to put off the Montrose defence and the cross squeezed in at the far post. McGrattan netted the second in 62 and Henderson was again the architect, driving in from the left and forcing a save from Campbell Millar, and while Henderson was tripped by a defender, McGrattan steered the ball in. Ewan Loudon beat Cade Melrose with a powerful effort from just inside the box, as the Diamonds conceded for the first time in the group stages, but it wasn't enough to prevent Airdrie from going through. Airdrie had other chances to score, and in 10 minutes Jamie Barjonas sent Henderson through on Aaron Clark, who did well to block with his foot. Loudon had a chance to net the rebound from a Melrose save, but Sean McGinty bravely blocked to keep the score at 0-0. Alex King and Liam McStravick had efforts blocked, before Dylan MacDonald's cross was headed wide by McStravick. McStravick sent an effort curling past the top corner as the half remained goal-less. Airdrie took the lead, and Mochrie sent an effort whistling past a post moments later. Henderson curled an effort over in 71 minutes, following good play by Mochrie. Montrose pulled a goal back and a flurry of free kicks around the Airdrie box made for a nervy end to the match, but the closest the hosts came was when sub Matheus Machado sent an effort narrowly over.

Brewers can earn fans free George Webb burgers with win Tuesday
For now, we're talking about a hunger of another sort. On Tuesday night, the Brewers can trigger one of the more unique promotions in sports. Free burgers! The Brewers have won 11 consecutive games after defeating the Seattle Mariners, 6-0, on Monday, July 29. With a win in Tuesday night's game, the Brewers will hit a milestone (at least in Milwaukee) 12-game winning streak and earn local fans free hamburgers from George Webb, a local restaurant chain. The restaurant's namesake, George Webb, was an avid baseball fan and the genesis of the 12-game winning streak promotion dates back to the minor league Milwaukee Brewers and through the brief tenure of the Milwaukee Braves. However, it's been the current incarnation of the Brewers who have fed fans with free burgers. How many times has George Webb given out free burgers after the Brewers won 12 straight games? Two times. The most recent was in 2018, when the Brewers won the final seven games of the regular season, prevailed in the one-game NL Central tiebreaker against the rival Chicago Cubs, swept the Colorado Rockies in three games in the division series and then won Game 1 of the NLCS against the Los Angeles Dodgers. The most famous instance of the Brewers prompting George Webb's 12-game win streak promotion was in 1987. "Team Streak" - as that season's Brewers were called - won the first 13 games of the season. That run included one of the most iconic moments in franchise history, an epic come-from-behind win against the Texas Rangers on Easter Sunday at County Stadium. That was win No. 12, and a dramatic way to earn Milwaukee fans free hamburgers. The next night, the Brewers defeated the Chicago White Sox at Comiskey Park for their 13th straight win to start a season, which remains tied for the longest such win streak in baseball's modern era. Three days after the Brewers won their 12th straight in 1987, George Webb restaurants handed out almost 168,194 free hamburgers, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, part of the USA TODAY Network. How have the Brewers gotten to this point? Impressively, the Brewers' 11-game win streak includes six wins against the defending World Series champion Dodgers. It opened with a road win against the Miami Marlins on Sunday, July 6, then proceeded with sweeps at home against the Dodgers and Washington Nationals before the All-Star break. The Brewers opened the season's second half with a sweep of the Dodgers in Los Angeles and then won Monday night's series opener against the Mariners at T-Mobile Park. With their current streak of victories, the Brewers have leapfrogged the Cubs atop the NL Central and finished play Monday night with the best record in Major League Baseball. Not too shabby for a team just two of six USA TODAY Sports experts predicted would make the playoffs. Who's pitching for the Brewers on Tuesday night? Glad you asked. It's rookie flamethrower Jacob Misiorowski, who was a controversial selection for the All-Star Game after making just five big-league starts. Countering "The Miz" on the mound for the Mariners will be right-hander Logan Gilbert. The game starts at 9:40 p.m. ET and will be televised by the MLB Network.

Man Utd may have identified long term Andre Onana replacement for NOTHING as he follows two England stars footsteps
FOR KEEPS Man Utd may have identified long term Andre Onana replacement for NOTHING as he follows two England stars footsteps MANCHESTER UNITED teenage goalkeeper Elyh Harrison is following in the footsteps of Dean Henderson after joining Shrewsbury Town on loan. After showing plenty of potential at youth level, United have now decided the next step in Harrison's development is for him to get regular game time in the EFL for the first time. 4 Manchester United goalkeeper Elyh Harrison has joined Shrewbury Town Credit: Getty Henderson ground his way through four EFL clubs before finally securing a Premier League starting spot at Crystal Palace - where he won the FA Cup last season. And an England call-up quickly came too, with many United fans wishing Henderson wasn't let go in the same summer that Andre Onana joined. United had loaned Henderson out to Stockport Grimsby, Shrewsbury, Sheffield United and Nottingham Forest, with David de Gea the permanent No.1 between the sticks. But he was sold to Palace for £20million at the end of the summer 2023 window, with then manager Erik ten Hag securing Onana for £47million from Inter Milan. READ MORE MAN UTD NEWS OFF THE MARC Rashford BANNED from playing for Barcelona initially amid registration issues But Onana has fallen short of expectations, with Harrison, the next big thing in United's goalkeeping ranks, walking in the path Henderson laid out. Harrison, who joined United's academy from Stevenage in 2022, spent the first half of last season on loan at non-league outfit Chester, keeping seven clean sheets in 18 appearances. He was due to spend the duration of the 2024/25 term at the National League North outfit, but United recalled him in January to train with the first-team and feature for the academy. The 19-year-old was named on the bench eight times by boss Ruben Amorim after being recalled. 4 Dean Henderson spent the 2017-2018 on loan at Shrewsbury Town from Man Utd Credit: Reuters 4 Andre Onana's spot is under threat Credit: Getty Join SUN CLUB for the Man Utd Files every Thursday plus in-depth coverage and exclusives from Old Trafford He has featured for the Red Devils' under-21 side but is yet to make a first-team appearance for the Premier League club. Shrewsbury director of football Micky Moore says the England Under-20 international has a "bright future" after monitoring his progress last season. Man Utd hunting Jackson as Chelsea's demands revealed | Transfers Exposed Moore said: "I'm really excited that we've signed Elyh. He's someone we've targeted since last season ended and I think he's got a bright future. "We watched him play at Chester last year and continued to watch him when he went back to play for United's Under-21s. "We think he's got all the right characteristics and that this could be a very good loan for him. "Michael [Appleton] wanted to get him in the building as soon as possible, so I'm really happy to get it over the line because it was a tough process due to the amount of interest in the player." Meanwhile, the first team were reportedly "rebuffed immediately" in their attempts to sign Aston Villa's No.1 Emi Martinez this week. United have also been linked with young Belgian goalkeeper Senne Lammens, 23, from Antwerp, who is valued at around £17million. Amorim has been eyeing a replacement for Onana even before the Cameroonian stopper suffered an hamstring injury in pre-season. Lammens ended the season with an eye-catching 173 saves, which works out to 4.3 saves per match and a solid 78 per cent save rate.
