Tottenham's defensive injury crisis has deepened with the news that Alan Hutton needs knee surgery and is set to miss the rest of the season.

The former Rangers man, who has made 27 appearances for the White Hart Lane club this term, tore his cartilage in training on Thursday.
A short statement on Spurs' website read: "Alan Hutton is to undergo knee surgery after scans confirmed the defender had torn his lateral meniscus.
"The Scotland international injured his knee in training on Thursday and the operation is likely to rule him out for the rest of the season."
The news comes as a bitter blow to Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp, who is already without a number of defenders as he prepares for Tuesday's daunting Champions League quarter-final clash with Real Madrid at the Bernabeu.
Ledley King, Jonathan Woodgate and Younes Kaboul are all injured while William Gallas, who signed a new contract with the club earlier this week, is also a doubt.
Michael Dawson and Sebastien Bassong are Redknapp's only two fit natural centre-halves, while Hutton's rival at right-back, Vedran Corluka, can also play there if needed.

Arsenal won't contest UEFA bans

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger and Samir Nasri will not appeal against UEFA sanctions and will both be banned for the next Champions League game.
European football's governing body handed out the one-match suspensions, and a 10,000 Euro (£8,800) fine to Wenger, after the pair were charged with "inappropriate language" directed towards Swiss referee official Massimo Busacca in the wake of Arsenal's controversial exit from the Champions League in Barcelona earlier this month.


Busacca caused uproar by showing Robin van Persie a second yellow card for shooting at goal just one second after he had blown the whistle for offside - the Dutch striker claimed he had not heard it due to the noise of the 95,000-plus crowd.
Arsenal eventually went on to lose the tie 3-1 and exit Europe at the hands of the Spanish giants for the second successive season.
Wenger had originally insisted he would staunchly deny the charge and called on UEFA to show some "humility", while comparing the organisation to a "dictatorship".
Arsenal could have lodged a formal appeal, but the matter will now not be taken any further.
A statement on the club's official website read: "Arsenal have decided not to appeal against UEFA bans for Arsene Wenger and Samir Nasri.
"The manager and the midfielder were each suspended for one European match following charges of improper conduct in the wake of Arsenal's Champions League exit at Barcelona.
"Wenger was also fined €10,000."

Rafael van der Vaart believes Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp has a "similar technique" to Real Madrid counterpart Jose Mourinho.
Van der Vaart did not spend long working with Mourinho before his move to London in August last year, but has favourably compared the Portuguese coach and Redknapp, who will clash in the Champions League quarter-finals next month.

The home of the best LIVE soccer and rugby awaits at FoxSoccer.tv -- don't miss a second of the action.

"I love how Madrid play," said Van der Vaart. "They are having a very good season. Mourinho is a coach who the players want to play for.
"Redknapp has a similar technique. They are very good, they know how to engage a group. Players want to win for them."
Van der Vaart admits he was "very angry" to leave Madrid, but insists he does not bear a grudge against the coach who sold him.
"In the off-season I had much contact with Mourinho and he is an exceptional coach, the best in the world," the Holland international said in an interview with Spanish daily AS.
"But I wanted to play every game and in Madrid there are many exceptional players. I am 28 years old and to be at a high level I need games.
"Now I am very happy in London with Tottenham. It's a city I like."
Asked if he would celebrate if he scores for Spurs at the Bernabeu, Van der Vaart added: "Yes, of course, but with respect."

Chelsea will be without the cup-tied David Luiz for the game as well as his fellow Brazil defender Alex, who is still building up his fitness following knee surgery. But Yossi Benayoun might make his first appearance since September after recovering from a serious Achilles injury. Sir Alex Ferguson on the other hand is pondering whether to hand Rio Ferdinand his first start since February 1 as Manchester United's defensive problems start to ease. Ferdinand has been in full training for a week after his calf strain but Chris Smalling's excellent form leaves Ferguson with a major dilemma. Rafael is also available after a hamstring strain, whilst Jonny Evans returns from his three-match domestic suspension. Chelsea (from): Cech, Bosingwa, Ferreira, Terry, Ivanovic, Zhirkov, Cole, Mikel, McEachran, Essien, Lampard, Ramires, Kalou, Malouda, Anelka, Torres, Drogba, Turnbull. Manchester United (from): Van der Sar, Kuszczak, Rafael, Ferdinand, Vidic, Smalling, Evans, Fabio, Evra, Valencia, Obertan, Park, Gibson, Anderson, Carrick, Scholes, Giggs, Nani, Berbatov, Hernandez, Owen, Rooney.

Julio kuiponza Tanzania CAF
• Amteua Ngasa kikosi cha U-23

na Mwandishi wetu


KATIKA hali inayoonekana kama uzalendo, lakini hatari kwa soka ya Tanzania, mshambuliaji Mrisho Ngassa wa timu ya Azam FC, ameitwa kikosi cha vijana wa chini ya miaka 23.
Kama vile utani, Kocha Mkuu wa timu hiyo, Jamhuri Kihwelo, jana aliongeza nyota saba wapya katika kikosi chake akiwemo Ngassa, aliyetua Azam FC msimu uliopita akitokea Yanga kwa kitita cha sh mil. 59.
Ingawa si rahisi kujua mara moja Ngassa alizaliwa lini, lakini katika hali ya kawaida, nyota huyo aliyewahi kukipiga Toto Africa na Kagera Sugar, si chini ya miaka 23.
Hata hivyo, Ngassa ameitwa katika kikosi hicho kwa ajili ya kuwakabili Cameroon katika mechi ya marudiano ya kampeni ya kuwania tiketi ya kucheza michezo ya Olimpiki itakayofanyika mwakani mjini London, England.
Katika mechi hiyo, Tanzania inapaswa kushinda kuanzia bao 1-0 ili kusonga mbele baada ya wiki iliyopita kufungwa mabao 2-1, mjini Younde, Cameroon.
Hatari inayoikabili Tanzania, kama Ngasa atachezeshwa na kubainika ni zaidi ya umri huo, ni kama ya mwaka 2004 pale timu ya vijana wa chini ya miaka 17, Serengeti Boys ilipoondolewa licha ya kufuzu.
Serengeti Boys chini ya Kocha Abdallah Kibaden ilipokwa tiketi hiyo ya fainali za Afrika kwa kumchezesha Nurdin Bakar.
Licha ya Tanzania kupata tiketi ya kucheza fainali zile ambazo zilipigwa nchini Gambia, kitendo cha kumchezesha Nurdin Bakar aliyekuwa amevuka umri, Tanzania ikaondolewa kwenye fainali zile na kuadhibiwa.
Pamoja na juhudi za Shirikisho la Soka Tanzania (TFF) chini ya Leodegar Tenga kukata rufaa Mahakama ya Usuluhishi wa Michezo (CAS), ilikuwa ni kazi bure.
Mbali ya Ngassa, wengine walioitwa jana kwa ajili ya mechi hiyo itakayochezwa Aprili 9 kwenye Uwanja wa Taifa, jijini Dar es Salaam, ni mshambuliaji wa Yanga, Kigi Makasi.
Akizungumza na waandishi wa habari jana, Ofisa Habari wa Shirikisho la Soka Tanzania (TFF), Boniface Wambura, alisema Julio amewateua wachezaji hao ili kukiimarisha kikosi chake hicho.
Alisema, mbali ya Ngassa na Makasi, wengine ni Ali Lundenga, David Luhende wa Kagera Sugar, Jabir Aziz kutoka Azam, Kelvin Chale wa Simba na Juma Abdul kutoka Mtibwa Sugar.
Katika hatua nyingine, Wambura ametaja viingilio vya mechi hiyo itakayoanza saa
10:00 jioni ni shilingi 1,000 kwa watakaokaa viti vya kijani, bluu na rangi ya chungwa (orange), huku watakaokaa majukwaa ya VIP B na VIP C kiingilio kitakuwa sh 5,000 na VIP A watalipa sh 10,000.
Alisema tiketi za mechi hiyo, zitaanza kuuzwa leo katika vituo vya Oil Com Ubungo, Shule ya Sekondari Benjamin Mkapa, mgahawa wa Steers ulioko Mtaa wa Samora/Ohio, Bigbon Msimbazi Kariakoo na Uwanja wa Uhuru. Mechi itaanza saa 10 kamili.
Tayari timu ya Cameroon imewasili nchini jana saa 5:20 usiku kwa ndege ya Kenya Airways ikiwa na wachezaji 23 na kufikia katika Hoteli ya Paradise City Hotel, huku mwamuzi wa mechi hiyo ni Aime Ndayisenga akisaidiwa na Desire Gahungu, Jean-Claude Birumushahu na Athanase Niyongabo, wote kutoka Burundi na Kamishna wa mchezo huo ni Charles Masembe, kutoka Uganda.

FIFA yaisimamisha Bosnia-Herzegovina


na Nuru Yanga


SHIRIKISHO la Soka la Kimataifa (FIFA), limeisimamisha uanachama nchi ya Bosnia-Herzegovina kuanzia Aprili mosi mwaka huu.
Hatua hiyo imetokana na mkutano mkuu wa Shirikisho la Soka la nchi hiyo, (FFBH), kutopitisha katiba yake iliyofanyiwa marekebisho kwa kuzingatia matakwa ya FIFA na Shirikisho la Soka Ulaya (UEFA).
Kwa mujibu wa barua ya Katibu Mkuu wa FIFA, Jerome Valcke, iliyotumwa kwa wanachama wake, FFBH inapoteza haki zote ilizokuwa nazo kutokana na uanachama wake kwa shirikisho hilo hadi hapo itakapotolewa taarifa nyingine.
Ofisa Habari wa Shirikisho la Soka Tanzania (TFF), Boniface Wambura alisema jijini Dar es Salaam jana kuwa, kutokana na kusimamishwa huko, wanachama wote wa FIFA hawatakiwi kushirikiana na FFBH katika masuala yoyote, isipokuwa yale yanayohusu mchezaji binafsi.
Hatua hiyo imetokana na uamuzi uliofikiwa Oktoba 28 mwaka jana na Kamati ya Utendaji ya FIFA kuwa FFBH iwe imetekeleza matakwa hayo kufikia Machi 31 mwaka huu, jambo ambalo halikufanyika.

RT kufanya mabadiliko ya katiba


na Samia Mussa


CHAMA cha Riadha Tanzania (RT), kinatarajiwa kuifanyia mabadiliko katiba yake ya 2006 ili iendane na mfumo wa Shirikisho la Kimataifa (IAAF).
Mabadiliko hayo yamepangwa kupitishwa kwenye mkutano mkuu utakaofanyika Julai mwaka huu jijini Dar es Salaam.
Akizungumza na Tanzania Daima jijini Dar es Salaam jana, Katibu Mkuu wa RT, Mujaya Suleiman Nyambui, alisema katiba hiyo imetokana na ile ya 2005 ambayo haina vigezo vya IAAF.
Nyambui alisema, baada ya kuunda katiba 2006, waliisambaza kwa wenyeviti wa mikoa ili waipitie na kuona kama kuna upungufu, lakini hakuna maoni yoyote waliyopata juu ya katiba hiyo.
"Tulikuwa tunatumia katiba ya 2005, lakini tuligundua kwamba haikidhi kufanya uchaguzi, hivyo 2006 ilitengenezwa katiba ambayo ndiyo tuliisambaza kwa wenyeviti wa mikoa yote, ili waisome walete mapendekezo ya kuongeza au kupunguza, lakini hatukupata taarifa zozote hivyo tunadhani wameridhika na katiba hiyo," alisema Nyambui.
Alisema Kamati ya Utendaji ya RT, ilikaa hivi karibuni na kuipitia tena katiba ya 2006, ambako iliona kuna haja ya kuongeza baadhi ya vipengele ili iendane na IAAF.
Alivitaja vipengele viliovyoongezwa kuwa ni Elimu, dawa za kuongeza nguvu, kamisheni ndogondogo na Kamati za rufaa.
s Aidha, Nyambui alisema, kamati itaeleza vipengele vilivyopendekezwa kuongezwa katika katiba hiyo kwenye mkutano mkuu, ambao utafanyika baada ya mashindano ya taifa Julai 23 hadi 25 mwaka huu jijini Dar es Salaam.

Simba machungu yote kwa JKT Ruvu Send to a friend Tuesday, 05 April 2011 20:11

Kocha wa Simba Patrick Phiri

Sosthenes Nyoni
BAADA ya kuondoshwa kwenye michuano ya Ligi ya Mabingwa Afrika kwa jumla ya mabao 6-3 na TP Mazembe mwishoni mwa wiki, Simba leo inarejea katika Ligi Kuu Tanzania kuikabili JKT Ruvu kwenye Uwanja wa Uhuru jijini Dar es Salaam.

Ugumu wa mpambano wa leo unatokana na mifumo ya kiuchezaji kwa timu hizo mbili kufanana kwenye kucheza pasi fupi fupi na kasi. Mchezo huo ni muhimu zaidi kwa Simba ambao wana pointi 45 wakiwa na pointi mbili zaidi ya mahasimu wao Yanga wenye pointi 43 ambao watashuka dimbani kesho kuikabili African Lyon na kubakiza mechi moja kila timu.

Kwa upande wa JKT wao hawana presha kubwa baada ya kujikusanyia pointi 26, wakiwa nafasi ya sita kwenye msimamo huo hivyo kwao leo ni kusaka heshima zaidi.Kocha wa Simba, Mzambia Patrick Phiri alisema jana kuwa atalazimika kushinda pambano hilo ili aweze kurudisha imani ya mashabiki wake waliohuzunika kwa kutolewa kwenye Ligi ya Mabingwa.

"Iwe isiwe nimewaambia wachezaji wangu wasahau matokeo ya mechi ya TP Mazembe kwa sababu hayawezi kutusaidia sasa, tunatakiwa kushinda mechi dhidi ya JKT ili tuweze kurudisha imani ya wapenzi wetu,"alisema Phiri.

Alisema,"Ikiwa tutaendelea kufikiria matokeo ya mwishoni mwa wiki ni hatari kwa sababu Yanga wanasubiri sisi tupoteze mchezo huu wao wapande juu na kutuweka pabaya zaidi," alisema Phiri.

Nahodha wa Simba, Musa Hassan Mgosi amewataka wachezaji wenzake wasahau yaliyopita na waelekeze akili zao katika mchezo huo dhidi ya JKT ili waweze kushinda na hatimaye mwakani warudi katika michuano ya Ligi ya Mabingwa Afrika.

Kwa upande wake kocha wa JKT, Charles Kilinda amejitapa kuisimamisha Simba na kumtaka mwamuzi atakayechezesha pambano lao kufuata sheria 17 za soka."Sina hofu na Simba ni timu ya kawaida, tatizo linakuja kwa waamuzi mara nyingi ndio wanaoharibu, namwomba huyo atakayechezesha kesho (leo) afuate sheria 17 za soka ili mwenye uwezo ndio ashinde," alisema Kilinda.
