The 24-year-old limped off the pitch in the 35th minute as Chelsea were beaten 1-0 at Stamford Bridge by their title rivals thanks to a Kevin De Bruyne goal. Chelsea 15/2 to win PL Chelsea and Spain’s doctors have both assessed Morata’s hamstring injury and the Blues will continue to do so as they aim to get him back as soon as possible. Crystal Palace and Roma are up next for Chelsea but Morata is doubtful for those games as injuries of this type generally lead a player to be out for between four to six weeks....

Morata has been heavily linked with a move away from the Champions League winners after only 14 La Liga stars under Zinedine Zidane last season. The striker’s agent Juanma Lopez has confirmed the 24-year-old is keen to play more football in 2017-18, and that United were “a very interesting option”. Perez: Madrid don’t want De Gea Reports of a rejected €60 million bid from United seem wide of the mark, though, according to Madrid president Perez, who remains keen to keep Morata in the Spanish capital....

Trump’s Senate trial is scheduled to begin Monday and a conviction is unlikely, as 45 Republicans voted to dismiss the case altogether. However, unlike in 2020, when the impeachment effort fell squarely along party lines, this time 10 House Republicans voted to impeach the president and slightly more Americans support his conviction. An AP-NORC poll released Friday found that 47 percent of Americans said the Senate should vote to convict Trump, a 2 percent increase from 2020....

Without a single real vote yet cast, Clinton has already won the first primary, the one that takes place in the State of Mind, where the chattering class of reporters and Democratic Party activists lives. These folks are important: they create “spin” and “heat” and factors that don’t need quotation marks, like money. Perception often becomes reality. Only fools predict presidential politics, but with Douglas Wilder’s withdrawal last week, Clinton–who has good rapport with black voters-is the one Democrat with a chance to wrap it up early....

Metformin works by reducing the amount of sugar in an individual’s blood by heightening the body’s insulin sensitivity. Over 120 million people around the world have been prescribed metformin for type 2 diabetes. According to the Federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA), some of the metformin distributed by Bayshore Pharmaceuticals has excessive levels of NDMA, which may cause cancer in humans. “NDMA is a known environmental contaminant and found in water and foods, including meats, dairy products, and vegetables,” according to the FDA website....

All of the species are green turtles and the quicker they are rescued, the better. Once rescued the turtles are brought back to a laboratory for warmth and documentation, and then triaged to local rehab facilities for any necessary medical treatment. The turtles are rescued in the first place because they are found on shores all around the U.S., alive or dead. The dead turtles are usually salvaged for study while those still alive go through the rehab process....

Early ballot return results assessed by the political data firm Political Data Inc. (PDI) indicate Democrats have so far outpaced Republicans and independent voters, a factor that could be positive news for Governor Gavin Newsom, the incumbent Democrat who is defending his seat. If more than 50 percent of recall ballots returned are cast in favor of recalling Newsom, he will be replaced by the recall candidate who receives the greatest number of votes....

As the Mets faced the Dodgers in a sudden death Game Five of the Division Series, manager Terry Collins faced a difficult decision entering the bottom of the eighth inning. After getting six gutsy innings from Jacob deGrom, Collins had wisely inserted usual starter Noah Syndergaard for the seventh inning. The longhaired fireballer nicknamed “Thor” used his 100mph heat and sharp curveball to overpower the Dodgers with authority, and as a starter with a full four days of rest, was an option to stay in the game for the eighth inning....

In collaboration with nonprofit advocacy group, The Creative Coalition, the award-winning actor appeared in a video, released Monday, in which Freeman urged U.S. citizens to listen to the doctors and scientists and get the vaccine if they are eligible. “I’m not a doctor, but I trust science. And I’m told that for some reason people trust me. So here I am to say, I trust science and I got the vaccine....

Morocco were the first team to be eliminated from the World Cup Group stage and will head home after the match but the North African side would love to throw a wrench into Spanish plans. Coach Renard is now confident that they will salvage something from their final match against Spain, who need to win to keep alive their hopes of progressing. A win for Spain would guarantee the 2010 World Champion advances to the knockout stage....

Pedro reveals Chelsea’s best player Moses spent the 2014-15 Premier League season with Stoke, where he teamed up with the USA international and returns to the bet365 Stadium with the Blues on Saturday.

The map of the universe was created by the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI), managed by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Berkeley Lab at the University of California. DESI works by peering into space to measure the radiation given off by distant objects. It contains thousands of fiber-optic cables that are each positioned so that they can collect light from individual galaxies. These fibers extend down to 30 detectors, which then receive the light that’s passed to them and turn it into data that scientists can observe....

There are a handful of position battles that fantasy owners would rather avoid if at all possible. Do we really know who will start at quarterback for the Saints? Or what about the Jaguars and Buccaneers’ running back battles? It’s true that often players in position battles from a fantasy standpoint turn into a committee, but other times, a true high-end contributor can emerge. If you’re lucky enough to land them in the mid-rounds of your fantasy draft, that can be the difference between winning a championship and missing the playoffs....

The legislature banned any other statewide mask rules until June 2023, but gave individual school districts the power to decide whether or not to require masks, the AP reported. At least 122 of the 171 public school districts in Kentucky decided to maintain their masking requirements by mid-Wednesday, according to the Kentucky School Boards Association. Kentucky is seeing one of the highest rates of infection in the country and record numbers of hospitalizations due to the spread of the highly contagious Delta variant....
