Sturridge, who has made just 18 league starts over the past two seasons, picked up a hip injury ahead of last Saturday’s friendly against Barcelona, and Milner sustained a heel problem during the 4-0 victory over the Spanish champions. “(Sturridge) had a few days where he couldn’t train and that’s not too good for the Arsenal game but we have other players who are available,” Klopp told reporters. Milner, who has announced his retirement from England international duty, made 28 league starts last season....

Alli, who won his first cap in October, was inspirational in Saturday’s come-from-behind 3-2 victory over Germany in Berlin and has been instrumental in Tottenham Hotspur’s bid to end a 55-year wait for an English title. Milner, who linked up with Alli for England’s recent friendlies, is convinced, given the time, the 19-year-old “can be 10 times better” than he is now. “We want to be careful now and make sure we don’t put too much on him....

Propelled by a wealth of new content and regular updates, Minecraft has developed a huge, dedicated community that still manages to attract new fans at a steady rate....

Before the secret hidden door can be built, a few necessary steps must be fulfilled first. Namely, Minecraft players should be in the Overworld to complete this design, as it cannot exist in the nether. Not only that, if the latest version of Minecraft is not installed, players should do so when possible. For the uninitiated, updates are done automatically on consoles, although the option is allocated under “downloads and updates” on the Minecraft launcher for PC gamers....

Using the /tell command, Minecraft players can send private messages to one another. This can be done directly to a specific other player or to certain groups of players depending on the input. Players can even whisper to themselves as a reminder of some sort. Here’s everything players need to know about the /tell command.

Recent form is perhaps not worth reading into for this game as both teams have known their fate for weeks now and have been resting players ahead of the play-offs. In the league this season, Villa finished seven points ahead of Middlesbrough, scoring more and conceding fewer goals than Tony Pulis’s side. TV Channel, Live Stream & How to Watch In the United States (US), the game can be watched on ESPN+....

The Summer Lull is the time each year when publishers decide to talk a week off. This year’s Lull began after the release of Dragon Quest IX and will taper away towards the end of the month, first with StarCraft II, then into June with Madden 11, then Kane & Lynch 2, and faster still until September starts the charge leading up to Black Friday itself. Of course, this is just what the Summer Lullologists tell me....

In an interview with 4Gamer (as translated by Siliconera), Inafune spoke about the potential that Mighty No. 9 has for an ongoing franchise. “Development for a sequel is already in our minds,” said Inafune. “We all share the feeling of we’ll do it even if it doesn’t sell.” Aside from this plan for another game in the series, Inafune also reiterated plans for Mighty No. 9 to not just be a game, but also be a property in general....

The coach said that while MLS continues to strengthen on the field, the calendar works against players who won’t be seeing competitive action until March. Liga MX, by contrast, resumes Jan. 5. “The players also have to realize that this league won’t give them the chance to go to the World Cup. It will give them the chance to make a bigger name for themselves, but not to get in a good rhythm of play, unfortunately,” Herrera told beIN Sports....

The team announced on Wednesday that Fisher, who retired following the Nashville’s run to the 2017 Stanley Cup Final, will begin skating on his own before signing a contract to rejoin the Predators near the NHL’s Feb. 26 trade deadline. “It’s great to be back,” Fisher said at a press conference with Nashville general manager David Poile and coach Peter Laviolette. “I never really thought it was a possibility. After I retired, I was done and that’s what I felt was the right decision then....

If this trend continues, it might change the way certain quarterbacks approach opportunities to start in the NFL. It might not be worth the risk. The amount paid to the unproven QBs is massive. Houston in 2016 gave Brock Osweiler, who had started just seven NFL games, one of the worst modern quarterback contracts when it signed him to a deal worth $18 million per season. This year the Bears signed Mike Glennon, who started 13 games in 2013 and ‘14 before he was benched, to a $15 million-per-year contract....

“After three days of working with our team, I found that it wasn’t sustainable for me, for a long period of time, to go forward with my knee,” Krzyzewski said in a video posted to Twitter. “I could kind of muck it out for the Dominican trip, but for the whole season it wouldn’t be appropriate to do this.” MORE: Marvin Bagley could have major impact on 2018 NCAA championship...

Leach first tried to take analysts to task for rating Washington’s classes so highly every year and then acting surprised when the Huskies keep winning. John Blanchette, working for the (Spokane, Wash.) Spokesman-Review, came back with, “So, you’re not supposed to beat teams that have a higher-ranked recruiting class?” That got to Leach, who grew more annoyed as he went from dismissive to claiming the writer held a grudge against the program to straight name-calling....

Pence’s slow response to the quick spread of HIV in Scott County, Indiana in 2015 led to the infection of over 200 people. When the idea of a needle exchange to slow the infection rate of the illness was presented to Pence he responded by saying, “I’m going to go home and pray on it.” Even when Pence signed legislation for a temporary needle exchange program to be set up in the county two months after the HIV outbreak had been detected, he told reporters at a March 2015 news conference, “I will tell you, I do not support needle exchange as antidrug policy, but this is a public health emergency....

To that end, there’s no one that Kyle Shanahan probably knows better than his dad, Mike, the two-time Super Bowl-winning former head coach of the Broncos and the architect of one of the most prominent offensive schemes in the NFL today. While much attention is paid to Bill Belichick and Andy Reid’s trees — the fruits of which are polar opposites — probably no tree has borne better fruit than the Mike Shanahan tree....

His bWAR has topped 10.0 three seasons, with another three years checking in at 8.2 or above. He’s finished first or second in the AL MVP voting seven times in his eight full seasons — he’s won three times — and he signed a 12-year, $430 million extension with the Angels last spring. All are just jaw-dropping facts and figures. But somehow, the news from Goldin Auctions on Wednesday night was still hard to comprehend....

In footage shared by TMZ on Thursday, a man resembling the 55-year-old veteran boxer is seen standing up and striking a man seated behind him in the face. A voice can be heard saying, “Hey Mike, stop that,” as the punches continue to be thrown, before the camera is angled away from the incident.
