The full extent of Mandzukic’s injury is not known at this stage and Juventus’ medical staff will assess the 30-year-old ahead of Saturday’s trip to Milan. “Mario Mandzukic … picked up a muscular strain in his right adductor region, the extent of which will be evaluated in the coming days,” read a statement on the Juventus website announcing the 20-man traveling party to Stade des Lumieres.

The D.A. Office’s policy change centers on individuals charged with unlawful assembly and disorderly conduct. Originally, those cases would have been slated to be dismissed within six months under an adjournment in contemplation of dismissal. During the protests, Vance’s office decided not to prosecute arrests of that kind “in the interest of justice.” “The prosecution of protesters charged with these low-level offenses undermines critical bonds between law enforcement and the communities we serve,” read a Friday statement from Vance’s office....

Records for the hottest days on record were set in multiple cities in the heat wave, during which the National Weather Service put an excessive heat warning in effect for much of the Pacific Northwest region. The Oregon State Medical Examiner reported that those who died of heat-related illness amid the record-breaking temperatures ranged in age from 37 to 97.

Maple syrup urine disease occurs in about 1 per 185,000 live births and affects both males and females. MSUD affects people of all ethnic backgrounds, but higher rates of the disorder occur in populations in which there is a lot of intermarriages, such as the Mennonite community in Pennsylvania....

Sitting in front of a computer all day may be necessary for some, but it can cause bad habits like slouching that only get worse with time. As a desk-job employee myself, I’m more than familiar with this problem; it’s what led me to the Marakym Posture Corrector. The top-rated product promised to help relieve my back pain and re-train my shoulders to sit upright. But could the clavicle brace actually help me improve my posture?...

For six seasons after leaving Indiana, Sampson was an assistant in San Antonio under Gregg Popovich, in Milwaukee under Scott Skiles, and in Houston under Kevin McHale. Frankly, Sampson — who won 500 games as a head coach at Montana Tech, Washington State, Oklahoma and Indiana — was humbled by the NBA.

Sure, Dick Vitale is awesome, baby, and Charles Barkley gives you a lot more than Chuck-les, but Ken Pomeroy’s in-depth, numbers-based bracket breakdown is no longer fancy analytics — it also carries a history of success. You can learn a lot by looking at the results of the last 12 NCAA Tournaments. From Kansas cutting down the nets in 2008 to Virginia taking the most recent title two years ago, only five teams (10....

He made his first one count Sunday night. Marchessault earned a penalty shot after being hooked by Mark Stone on what would have been a breakaway, and beat goalie Craig Anderson to lift the Vegas Golden Knights to a 4-3 overtime victory over the Ottawa Senators. “I had one in the AHL, I think I did like almost the same move, I just went high glove,” said Marchessault, who leads Vegas with 11 points this season....

Rubio told Breitbart News in an interview published Monday that he believes the Hispanic community has begun an overwhelming shift toward voting Republican, largely because Democrats “abandoned” working-class values and embraced “socialist” policies. Although November 2020 exit polls show Joe Biden won two-thirds of the country’s Hispanic vote overall, Cuban-Americans in South Florida broke 56-41 for Trump, decisively handing the GOP incumbent the state’s 29 Electoral College votes. Rubio, when asked why Miami Latinos largely swung to Trump in 2020, said it’s because many escaped socialist policies to come to the U....

The Red Devils are currently struggling in the Premier League as United equalled their worst start to a league campaign in 27 years. It is being rumoured that some club officials feel that Mourinho’s behaviour might become a distraction for the team as they fight to regain their place in the top four and play Champions League football next season. According to Daily Mail, Manchester United chief Ed Woodward is not going to take any action over Jose Mourinho’s repeated FA charges being imposed on him....

His current deal runs out in the summer of 2021, and he has been a subject of massive transfer interest. The 27-year-old’s former club Juventus have been keen on bringing him back since his departure, while Real Madrid have been ever-present in conversations about Pogba. Renowned journalist Laurie Whitwell of The Athletic reckons that it’s ‘inevitable’ that the EPL star stays at the club.

The hosts were on the front foot right from the get-go as Leeds managed to hold their own for much of the first half. They went into half-time 1-0 down thanks to some brilliant link-up play between Bruno Fernandes and Paul Pogba in the 30th minute. But it wasn’t long before Luke Ayling thumped a stunning long-range strike past David de Gea to make it 1-1 for the visitors....

United have had an incredible resurgence under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, winning almost every game they have played since the managerial swap. It was against Liverpool when Jose Mourinho managed his final game before getting sacked, giving a little more meaning to this match as if it didn’t already have it in abundance. The players of both clubs will be hard in battle on the pitch, fighting for every ball and giving everything to come out victorious in this titanic clash....

Manchester United are currently fourth in the Premier League table but a Champions League berth is far from secure. They have West Ham United, Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur and Wolverhampton Wanderers breathing down their necks and cannot afford a slip-up. Manchester United came up second best for the majority of their midweek Champions League encounter against Atletico Madrid. After Joao Felix had put the hosts ahead with an exquisite header as early as the seventh minute of the contest, the Red Devils struggled to find a footing in the game....
