Jose Mourinho hopes injury-hit Chelsea duo Gary Cahill and Diego Costa are fit for Arsenal clash

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho is hopeful Gary Cahill will be available for the Community Shield meeting with Arsenal on 2 August despite suffering a broken nose in the friendly against Barcelona on 29 July. The Blues boss is less certain, however, over Diego Costa, who was forced to limp off with a hamstring problem as his side drew 2-2 in Washington DC before winning on penalties. Cahill, 29, rose to head in a equaliser for his side in the 86thminute from Willian's corner but took a blow from Barcelona goalkeeper Jordi Masip in the process. Mourinho is not worried about his defender missing the season's curtain raiser at Wembleythough. "Cahill has a chance of a broken nose, maybe yes, maybe no," Mourinho said via Chelsea's official website."If no, perfect. If yes, he will get a mask tomorrow to be ready for Sunday [against Arsenal]." Costa meanwhile featured for an hour against Luis Enrique's side but was replaced by Loic Remy after suffering another hamstring strain. "Diego felt a little thing in his hamstring," Mourinho added. "We believe it is just a feeling, no more than that, but we have to wait." Eden Hazard scored a sublime solo effort, striding past four Barcelona players to give his side the lead after 10 minutes in front of nearly 80,000 fans at the FedEx Field. Luis Suarez drew the Champions League holders level early in the second half before Sandro Ramirez struck after the hour mark to put his side ahead. Cahill's late header forced a shootout though, where Radamel Falcao, Victor Moses, Ramires and Loic Remy all found the back of the net. Croatian starlet Alen Halilovic meanwhile saw his chipped effort come back off the bar while Thibaut Courtois saved Gerard Pique's effort.

76 Hungry Boko Haram Members Surrender To Nigerian Military

Dozens of emaciated-looking Boko Haram members begging for food have surrendered in northeast Nigeria, the military and a civilian self-defense fighter said Wednesday. Seventy-six people including children and women gave themselves up to soldiers last Saturday in Gwoza, about 100 kilometers (60 miles) southeast of Maiduguri, according to a senior officer. All are being detained at military headquarters in Maiduguri, the birthplace of Boko Haram and currently the command center of the war against the Islamic extremists, according to the officer. He insisted on anonymity because he is not authorized to speak to journalists. The detainees said many more fighters want to surrender, a self-defense civilian fighter who helped escort them to Maiduguri told The Associated Press. Food shortages could indicate that Nigeria's military is succeeding in choking supply routes of the Islamic extremists who have taken their fight across Nigeria's borders. Some 20,000 people have died in th...

The True Story Behind St Valentine- Saint Of Lov

The exact birth of this extraordinary saint is historically unknown but we known from available records was that he was a Catholic priest during the reign of the Roman Emperor Claudius II during the 3rd century. The Roman Emperor Claudius II was involved in many bloody and unpopular war campaigns to get more men to join his army. He believed at the time that the reason why he was finding it difficult to get men to join the military was that the Roman men were very dedicated to their wives and family. As a result, Claudius forbid the rites of marriages and engagements in Rome. St Valentine was a priest in Rome during his reign. He and St Marius ignored the official order and performed secret marriages of some loving couples for this deed. He was arrested and dragged before the Prefect of Rome who condemned him to a Three part execution of beating, stoning and to be beaten to death with his head cut off. He is reputed to have suffered martyrdom having been beaten to death on the 14th ...
