According to reports, Cristiano Ronaldo could end up wearing two shirt numbers simultaneously at Manchester United this season. That means he could wear his legendary number 7 jersey in European and domestic tournaments but a different one in the league. Uruguayan striker Edinson Cavani has already been registered with the number 7 jersey in the Premier League. He even appeared with the iconic number on his back in the 1-0 victory over Wolves on Sunday....

According to an interview the Portuguese forward gave to France Football, Griezmann walked up to the Portuguese and confronted him. “The funny thing was, on vacation in Miami I came across Griezmann in a restaurant, he was with his fiancée,” said Ronaldo. ”He came up to my table and said to me with a smile: ‘I hate you’ (‘Cristiano, je te déteste!’).” The Champions League final in 2016 saw two teams from the same city face each other for the second time in three years....

Ronaldo had expressed his desire to leave Old Trafford in the summer due to United’s failure to qualify for the UEFA Champions League. That was despite the Portuguese forward netting 18 league goals, but United only finished sixth. The news of Ronaldo wanting to exit the club has gone down well with most players in the squad. According to the aforementioned source, many thought the the 37-year-old forward had become a “pain in the a***”....

Mou turning Man Utd into Macclesfield A hat-trick during a stellar performance in the first leg of the Champions League semi-final against Atletico Madrid early this month saw the 32-year-old edge closer to the achievement. Madrid claim Ronaldo had already registered 400 Blancos goals, the club having attributed a 2010 free-kick against Real Sociedad, deflected into the net off Pepe’s back, to the Portuguese. Though his highlight reel is filled with dozens, perhaps hundreds, of glorious goals, the 400th came somewhat simply....

After Luka Modric collected his Golden Ball award in a downpour, he shared an emotional embrace with Croatian President Kolinda Grabar-Kitarovic, both wearing the country’s red-and-white checkered uniform. Croatia knows Sunday’s 4-2 loss to France in the World Cup final was a chance that may not come again anytime soon. “We were so close and we played the best soccer. We deserved more,” said Modric, who at 32 may have played in his last World Cup match....

But people who experience mild symptoms of COVID-19 or who are asymptomatic may also experience myocarditis, or heart inflammation, new research shows. “We know that COVID is a terrible stress test for the heart,” Eric Adler, MD, a cardiologist at UC San Diego Health, tells Verywell. What the American Heart Association Says The American Heart Association (AHA) says that at the start of the coronavirus pandemic, hospitalized patients with severe COVID-19 were showing signs of heart involvement and damage, and those with underlying heart conditions were most at risk....

But some experts worry that the initial supply of these drugs is too sparse to provide significant support during the Omicron surge. For people at risk of severe COVID, the treatments can reduce the risk of hospitalization when taken early enough in the course of the illness. Unlike other COVID-19 treatments that must be given intravenously, patients can take the antiviral pills at home to avoid serious illness. “The use of these antivirals can really, hopefully, help reduce severity of illness, hospitalizations, deaths, and sort of change the general tone of how we are feeling about COVID currently in this country,” Ronald Lubelchek, MD, an infectious disease physician at the John H....

In a study published Tuesday by the journal Viruses, researchers from Georgia State University found that mice infected with the virus through their nasal passages developed severe illness due to brain infection even after the virus had left their lungs. Lead researcher and study co-author Mukesh Kumar suggested that the findings could explain why human patients who appear to be nearly over the illness sometimes quickly relapse and die....

The paper, published in the International Journal of Infectious Diseases,involved 147 patients diagnosed with COVID-19 at Changsha Public Health Treatment Centre. The city of Changsha is the capital of Hunan province, and adjacent to Hubei province, where the pandemic is thought to have started in its capital Wuhan late last year. Since then, the coronavirus has killed more than 318,000 people in 4.8 million known cases worldwide, according to Johns Hopkins University, while more than 1....

Last week, a pair of dogs, named Cobra and One Betta, who were trained at the Forensic and Justice Center at Florida International University, began a 30-day program where they would detect COVID-19 among airport employees and alert when the virus is detected in a sniff test. “We trained these dogs just using face coverings from patients, who, at a hospital, have COVID and those who do not,” Florida International University’s Kenneth Furton told CNN’s New Day on Monday....

The vials of the Moderna vaccination, worth $5,000 each, went missing from Florida State Hospital’s medical storage unit. Moderna vials contain ten doses and the company was charging $32 to $37 per dose. The investigation is ongoing and it isn’t yet clear when the theft occurred. No suspects have been identified. “Hospitals understand that the COVID-19 vaccines are an extremely precious resource,” and are accustomed to safeguarding medications that can be potential targets for theft," Mary Mayhew, president and CEO of the Florida Hospital Association, told the Tallahassee Democrat....

Although Jones resisted parting ways with Garrett during Dallas’ down season in 2019, he had little choice than to make the decision to pat ways with Garrett after the team failed to return to the playoffs as NFC East champions. Garrett was retained for so long because Jones respected him so much as the Cowboys’ smart former backup QB. But despite a 85-67 regular-season record, inconsistency and playoff disappointment, with Dallas falling well short of more Super Bowl glory, forced Jones’ hand....

Erasing a 21-0 deficit seems like quite the accomplishment on the surface. But the Rams’ three-touchdown lead midway through the second quarter of their eventual 34-31 loss to the Cowboys not only was fluky, but it woke up the sleeping giant that was Dallas’ offense. St. Louis took advantage of a soft, conservative defensive approach and nickeled and dimed its way down the field on the game’s first drive — we’ll give credit for that....

The Cowboys running back went off for 139 yards in the 37-18 stomping of the Giants on “Monday Night Football,” and according to Elliott, the effort couldn’t have been easier. “I mean that was the easiest 140 yards I ever gained,” Elliott said, via ESPN’s Todd Archer. “I don’t really know if I broke a tackle. I just ran inside the scheme and those guys just mauled them up front....

Dallas essentially made Amari Cooper its first-round selection when it traded for the wide receiver last season. That move addressed the Cowboys’ biggest potential need in the draft, and they also are coming off a year in which they nailed their first-round pick, linebacker Leighton Vander Esch. So what might Jerry Jones, Stephen Jones and Jason Garrett do starting in the middle of Day 2 of the 2019 NFL Draft?...

While the Cowboys have the fourth pick in the upcoming NFL Draft, Jones has said the team is not planning to use it on a quarterback. Also, Goff may be off the board by the time Dallas picks.

“He looked good in practice and should do even more (Thursday),’’ Jones said via Sports Day. “It’s premature to say he’ll play Sunday, but he’s on target to play this weekend if this continues.''

The Coyotes’ captain became the 17th man to play in 1,500 NHL games, and his 400th career goal was the lone tally for the home team in a 4-1 loss to the Maple Leafs.

As it turns out, Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy will actually be hiding a number of Uncharted-themed Easter eggs. These Easter eggs were first picked up by users over on Reddit, who proceeded to share it with the community at large. For starters, one fan of Crash Bandicoot noticed that the titular character happened to have a framed picture of Uncharted hero Nathan Drake sitting on his mantelpiece. From there, though, fans have been able to pick out another hidden Easter egg....

The official police report said that the crash was a result of “pedestrian action,” and did not assign any blame to freshman forward Emmitt Holt, who was behind the wheel of the 2012 Jeep Liberty that struck Davis in the vicinity of Indiana’s Memorial Stadium. According to the report, Holt had dropped off Davis in the stadium’s parking lot and turned onto 17th Street when Davis entered the roadway unexpectedly and was struck....
