by

Injuries seem to be raining on this English Premier League where some of the finest soccer players are getting injured one after other.

One fan: Ashley Mills, 25, of Essex, was stabbed by an unidentified man and remained in the hospital, while some are discharged after giving first aid treatment. The planned attack was carried out by a group of peoples who stormed the Drunken Ship pub in Rome last week and stabbed many Tottenham supporters ahead of a Europa League clash with Spurs. Two AS Roma fans: Francesco Ianari, 26, and Mauro Pinnelli, 25 have earlier been booked under attempt to murder charge, but later in court, their charges were downgraded to aggravated wounding … [Read more...]

Even, Sir Alex Ferguson, United manger, ruled out any possibility of him to return for The Reds before two months. But, in a dramatic turnaround, Vidic is expected to return into the field much earlier, i.e., within a fortnight probably.
