Khama Billiat is a serious doubt for Zimbabwe’s 2022 FIFA World Cup Qualifying opener against Somalia this week, and he’s but one of many injuries littering rosters.
The Kaizer Chiefs forward picked up a pelvic injury in the club’s 2-1 win away to Cape Town City last week, and Chiefs’ front office is not being overly verbose about it: “He has had a scan done and it is unclear how long he needs to recover at this stage.”
While Chiefs may not worry too much about Billiat’s impending national match,…
Arsene Wenger took a swipe at Man City by suggesting he respected rivals Man United for paying for players with their own resources.
Arsenal’s Arsene Wenger paid an emotional tribute to Theo Walcott after his Everton switch.
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger says it’s likely Alexis Sanchez could join Manchester United, but insists anything could happen in the transfer market.
Emmanuel Adebayor says his “hate” for Arsenal comes from a fallout with manager Arsene Wenger, and has explained why he preferred to play under Jose Mourinho because of his winning mentality.
Adebayor left Arsenal for City amid acrimonious circumstances in 2009, and was seen as one of the first players to cash in on their newfound riches with a deal worth £150,000 a week.
In an interview with TRT World, he has claimed that Wenger forced him out of the club before misleading the media about…
English Premier League: Sergio Aguero (25′) Man City 1-0 Liverpool
Sergio Aguero might not be a guaranteed starter at Manchester City any more, but his goal against Liverpool on Saturday means he is guaranteed a place in the Premier League history books.
The Argentine opened the scoring in the emphatic 5-0 win at the Etihad to take his tally in the English top flight to 124 and become the top scoring non-European player in the division’s history.
It has only taken Aguero 185 appearances across six-and-a-bit seasons to reach that number, and even if he were to…
Ahead of the Champions League third qualifying round second legs, KweséESPN explore which of Africa’s stars have the best chance of progression.
In the biggest tie of the round, Nice – the surprise package in Ligue 1 last season – travel to Ajax’s newly branded Johan Cruijff ArenA for a showdown with the four-time European champions after a 1-1 draw in the first leg.
The outstanding player of last week’s match between the duo was Ivorian midfielder Jean Seri, who ran the show in midfield and…
FC’s Craig Burley and Dan Thomas debate what could be Gareth Bale’s most crucial season at Real Madrid yet.
Former Real Madrid striker Emmanuel Adebayor has told BBC Sport he might have made a permanent move to the Santiago Bernabeu in the summer of 2011 if not for interference from members of his family.
Adebayor, 33, joined Madrid on loan from Manchester City in January 2011 and scored eight goals in 22 games during the remainder of the 2011-12 season, winning the Copa del Rey after a substitute appearance in the 1-0 final victory over Barcelona.
The Togo international returned to City that summer with…
After signing for the club last January, Emmanuel Adebayor is currently toiling through his first preseason regime with Turkish side Istanbul Basaksehir.
That said, the fitness programme doesn’t look overly taxing, especially if this video of Adebayor leisurely weaving through a village on his bicycle while listening to music is anything to go by.

Emmanuel Adebayor has rediscovered his form at Istanbul Basaksehir.
Emmanuel Adebayor has told L’Equipe that signing for Crystal Palace last year was “the worst decision of my career.”
Adebayor, 33, joined Palace in January 2016, six months after leaving Tottenham Hotspur.
But the former Arsenal forward made just 12 Premier League appearances, seven of which were starts, and scored once in a miserable spell.
“I had some great times in clubs that are among the best in the country. I felt good there, my family too. The only mistake I made was signing for Crystal…
Alexis Sanchez scored the opener for Arsenal.
Alexis Sanchez was again influential for Arsenal on Monday as he struck a fine free kick to equalise for Arsene Wenger’s side en route to a 2-1 victory at Middlesbrough in the Premier League.
The victory could serve to settle the ship at the Emirates Stadium, where the side’s miserable and muddled run has fuelled discontent towards the French coach, whose ongoing contract impasse is arguably distracting the Gunners from their top flight ambitions.
It also takes Alexis one goal closer to equalling…
Anthony Richardson wraps up all of the Deadline Day news in 90 seconds, from David Meyler’s Twitter tease, to Saido Berahino’s freedom.
Great things were expected from Emmanuel Adebayor when he took the Premier League by storm following his move to Arsenal from Monaco back in 2006. But, after unsuccessful spells at Man City, Real Madrid (on loan), Tottenham and Crystal Palace, the Togo international’s career nosedived and he was released as a free agent last summer.
Now, after the 32-year-old showed he can still make an impact at the African Nations Cup despite his side finishing bottom of Group C, Turkish surprise package Istanbul…
ESPN FC’s Colin Udoh previews the African Cup of Nations and explains why he supports a 48-team World Cup.
GABON — Emmanuel Adebayor might only have played a handful of games since last season but he has lost none of his brash confidence and, not for the first time, seems to be revelling in the role of spoiler.
At 32, and without a club since departing Crystal Palace in May, Adebayor understandably huffed and puffed his way through the latter stages of Togo’s opening Group C game at the African Nations Cup, but a 0-0 draw with the holders Ivory Coast means the underdogs emerged as the moral victors.
Adebayor…
