Khedira out for two months

Juventus new signing, Sami Khedira has been ruled out of action for two months following a thigh injury he sustained at the weekend. Khedira sustained the injury while chasing the ball in his first game for the Old lady which was a friendly against Marseille they lost 2-0.
Khedira managed only 628 minutes for Real last season due in part to a succession of minor knocks and sprains.
He also missed the World Cup final due to a muscular injury he picked up during the warm-up, while a knee ligament injury in 2013 kept him out of action for almost six months.

Juventus set off for Shanghai on Sunday with worries growing ahead of Saturday’s Italian Supercoppa against Lazio in Shanghai. Juve, who allowed Andrea Pirlo and Arturo Vidal to leave this summer, have now seen their midfield options further reduced by Khedira’s injury, and they also have problems in defence after Giorgio Chiellini suffered a thigh injury last week.
The Serie A season starts on Aug. 23 with Juve hosting Udinese, while they will play their first Champions League fixture on Sept. 15 or 16.

Blessing Okagbare features in new Nike campaign.

Nigeria’s queen of the track, Blessing Okagbare has inked an endorsement deal with giant sportswear company, Nike. The Sapele, Delta-born gold medallist looked unrecognisable in the Nike
AfricaSoFast Campaign pictures.
On staying fit.

I start at 6 a.m. every morning in the gym before I run; you get muscles from explosive training. The power of my runs comes from doing weight training and the speed comes from track running. Training with competitors does not get to me because I focus on myself. During the race, I don’t even notice if my training partner is in the race, but I don’t underestimate anyone. As long as you are on the starting line, you are a competitor.

King Sunny Ade floats radio station

Veteran Juju musician, King Sunny has wrapped up plans to float a radio station in Ondo State.
Named M&C (Music & Culture) FM, the seasoned singer reportedly applied for the license in 2006 under the ex-president Olusegun Obasanjo administrati‎on.
On why it took almost a decade to get the regulatory approval, KSA said: “Whatever is worth doing is worth doing well. The NBC has its operational standard, so do I. I deliberately took time off to carefully select a team of loyal partners who share the same vision on what a music station should be. Don’t forget also that this will be the first radio station in Nigeria that will be solely devoted to promoting our culture and our music.”
The station is expected to begin transmission in the coming months.

Wolfsburg deny Bayern the German Super Cup

Wolfsburg put up an intriguing performance to win the German Super Cup on penalties at the expense of Bayern Munich. Former Arsenal striker, Nicklas Bendtner was the hero of the night as he grabbed a late equaliser to force penalties [after Arjen Robben had given Bayern the lead]  and also scoring the decisive penalty kick that gave Wolfsburg victory.
Bayern had the better of the game, but Wolfsburg wasted some of the better chances before earning a late lifeline and then completing a hat trick of Super Cup defeats for Bayern coach Pep Guardiola.

Wolfsburg were flawless from the spot, including Bendtner, who sent his effort into the top corner to earn last season’s cup winners the trophy.
