MASON GETS OPEN INVITE FOR STAMFORD BRIDGE RETURN AFTER HIS RETIREMENT


Ryan Mason Hull City
The former Spurs and Hull City midfielder had to retire from football after attempting to make a comeback from a major head injury
Ryan Mason has been given an open offer to return to Stamford Bridge the same week that he retired from professional football due to the fractured skull he sustained while playing for Hull City against Chelsea in 2017. 
The 26-year-old collided with Gary Cahill in an aerial duel that he tried to return from but, after seeking "the guidance of numerous world-renowned neurologists and neurosurgeons", he has decided to retire. 
Mason's parents, Glen and Lisa, are Chelsea season-ticket holders and left their seats upon witnessing the injury to join him in the ambulance to St Mary's Hospital in London, where he spent eight days and had surgery.  
While Mason has been invited back to the ground, the FA Cup fifth-round game between Chelsea and Hull on Friday is thought to have come too soon for the 26-year-old to attend after his retirement announcement.
Cahill, who visited the former Tottenham midfielder in hospital after the match in 2017, is understood to be devastated upon hearing the news of Mason's retirement, but Chelsea boss Antonio Conte thinks that the defender can't hold himself to blame for the incident. 
“For sure, this is a question for Gary. But, at the same time, I think it's OK when you play and your behaviour is always with great honesty. We are talking about a top player, no? For his commitment, his behaviour during, before and after the game. This type of situation can happen.
"I was a player and I understand it. I broke my leg. My team-mate broke my leg when I was 16, and risked my whole career. But it was an unlucky situation. I repeat: Gary is a fantastic guy, a fantastic person. He must be OK because it's not his fault."
Conte admits that he has not spoken to Cahill about Mason's retirement, but the Italian says he doesn't think there is a problem for his defender moving forward. 
“I must be honest, I didn't speak with him. I think that, if I have to go to speak with him, it means there is a problem. I don't see a problem. Football is this. Sometimes it can happen, this type of situation. The most important thing is there is not the will to do this.

Coronavirus: 'The worst bit is the uncontrollable coughing'

"The worst bit is the uncontrollable coughing," says Andrew O'Dwyer, who is recovering after being infected with the new coronavirus following a skiing trip to Italy in late February. "I've had worse flu, without a doubt - but I wouldn't want to catch it again," he says during his self-isolation at home in south-west London. Despite having type 1 diabetes, Andrew says having the virus "isn't anything to worry about for me personally". He adds that the fever he experienced is "no different to normal flu-type symptoms". "I've not been concerned," he says. The severity of symptoms can vary widely among people. Those who are older and have pre-existing medical conditions (such as asthma, diabetes, heart disease) are more likely to become severely ill and can need hospital treatment. There have been 10 coronavirus-related deaths so far in the UK. Andrew was told the virus wasn't circulating in the resort ...

Babajide made a Stunning Revelation about the Forthcoming Governorship Election in Edo State

Babajide a veteran journalist, while speaking on the popular program “Journalist Hangout” on TVC news Friday August 7, made a stunning revelation about the forthcoming governorship election in Edo state, says all political parties should shown violence because election is not a do or die affair. Babajide while reacting said “ I have to say I have my fears about these forthcoming election, and I hope my fears does not come past. As we can see the shenanigans in Edo state it is now visible that it is no more Oshiomole against Obaseki, it is now PDP against APC which could be devastating in the light of the politics going on now. Obaseki himself divided the APC, because all the lawmakers in Edo state belong to the APC but he divided them by inaugurating some lawmakers, and refusing to inaugurate others. Right now as it stands 17 lawmakers have decided to align with the APC and just 7 lawmakers is with the Governor. For me I think Obaseki should have averted these problem by just issuing a...
