Both players scored in their first appearances of 2017-18 as the Blues cruised past Nottingham Forest 5-1 in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday. Conte is remaining tight-lipped about whether either will make the squad for Saturday’s trip to Stoke City in the Premier League, but is adamant that both will feature as the campaign progresses. Referring to the victory over Forest, Conte said: “I was pleased to see this type of performance from Charly and Kenedy....

The Italian tasted Premier League title success in his debut campaign at Stamford Bridge, with domestic dominance restored in some style. Conte was, however, to allow senior stars such as Diego Costa and Nemanja Matic to leave on the back of that triumph, with a summer refresh having the opposite impact to that desired by the Blues. The 2017-18 season has been a struggle at times, leading to reports that another change in the dugout could be on the cards....

The Italian coach has overcome a wave of criticism which swelled on the back of successive defeats in Premier League competition against Bournemouth and Watford. He has helped the Blues offer a positive response to that wobble, with a battling display put in during a 1-1 draw with La Liga giants Barcelona in the first leg of a heavyweight Champions League last-16 encounter. Conte hopes displays such as that will allow him to see out a deal due to run until 2019, but he is also aware of history at Stamford Bridge and the fact that talk of a possible exit has now rumbled on throughout the 2017-18 campaign....

Callum Hudson-Odoi, Jonathan Panzo, George McEachran and Marc Guehi were all part of the Three Lions squad that defeated Spain 5-2 in Saturday’s final, with former Blues academy graduate Rhian Brewster also starring. Chelsea 13/8 to beat Roma Conte, who captained Italy as a player and also managed the national side, is predicting big things in the future for England and has promised he will give Chelsea’s young players a chance, if he deems them good enough to warrant a place....

Robbie Kearney, a 32-year-old builder working in Heytesbury, Wiltshire, South West England, was hired by homeowners Matthew and Amelia Jackson to dig a soakaway hole for their patio drainage. While digging, Kearney stumbled across a few piles of bones that were eventually revealed not to be the leftovers of someone’s KFC meal but instead human remains. “I found a few bones, which I assumed were animal bones, and went down a bit further and found some more bones,” Kearney told local news outlet the Wiltshire Times....

In a Tuesday letter, a bipartisan group of 16 senior lawmakers requested that Biden reconsider his administration’s June decision not to sell four General Atomics MQ-1C Gray Eagle armed combat drones after a number of Pentagon officials raised concerns that high-value radar and surveillance equipment on the drones could potentially end up in Russian hands. Ukrainian military officials, the lawmakers noted, have repeatedly requested the drones, which can carry four Hellfire missiles and are capable of flying long-range missions at high altitude....

Just two days before the Monday announcement by the county medical examiner’s office, Chicago police reported that there were more homicides in Chicago, 797, in 2021 than in any year since 1996. There were 772 killed in 2020, and a much lower total of 498 in the year before, the Chicago Tribune reported. The vast majority of Cook County’s homicides in 2021 were gun-related, with only 85 killings not having a connection to guns....

A 17-year-old midfielder, Pulisic has been named to Jurgen Klinsmann’s 23-man roster for the Copa America, U.S. Soccer announced. Pulisic made his international debut in March, coming on late in a 4-0 World Cup qualifying win over Guatemala. He plays for Borussia Dortmund of Germany’s Bundesliga. MORE: Copa America dates, times, locations | Victory vs. Puerto Rico The final roster was predictable, with Klinsmann choosing 15 players from his 2014 World Cup squad and 18 players who have taken part in qualifying for the 2018 tournament, including mainstays Geoff Cameron, Michael Bradley, Jermaine Jones and Clint Dempsey....

Games began on Friday, July 8 and the final will be played on July 30 in Bucaramanga. The tournament serves as qualification for the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup, the 2023 Pan American Games, and the 2024 Summer Olympics....

Anger is a normal reaction to severe loss. A dying person stands to lose everything and everybody that is important to them. They may feel robbed ​by their illness. If they believe in a higher power, they may blame their God for causing their illness or not curing it. They might even resent their family and friends for continuing to live their lives while they slowly lose their own. They may feel that the doctor isn’t being straight with them, their nurses don’t respond to their demands quickly enough, and that the world has already started to forget them....

Clinton is plenty popular, and surveys show the country is more contented than at any time in 30 years. But the idea that he’s an Eisenhower without the medals–a coaster–has stung the president, who held the longest press conference of his presidency in mid-December to convince the public that he’s still an activist. It’s a familiar pitch these days. Clinton tries to explain how big 1997 really was. He brags that last summer’s budget deal gave the country a middle-class tax cut, the largest expansion of health care (by insuring children) since Medicare in 1965, free community college for anyone who needs it and, of course, a balanced budget....

All of their top stars shunned advances from abroad amid the promise of Champions League football, with Alexandre Lacazette and Corentin Tolisso the leading lights who elected to remain with Bruno Genesio’s side. Lacazette might have been the player to win the plaudits at Parc OL, having enjoyed another prolific Ligue 1 season, but Tolisso has been just as vital to the advancement of the season. Indeed, as Lyon claimed a 2-1 victory over Besiktas in Thursday’s Europa League quarter-final first leg, it was the midfielder who starred....

His crimes included shooting a rival drug dealer, the killing of a woman over a crack cocaine debt and the shooting a man he suspected of helping the police. Johnson, who died aged 52 on Thursday, became the 12th federal inmate to be put to death under President Trump—the most under any administration in more than a century. Dustin John Higgs, convicted for ordering the murder of three women in the Washington, D....

And that wasn't the only record Kluber set. See a video of the record-setting whiff here .

While the Indians are still — at least at this point — the best team in the AL Central on paper, it’s difficult to see why trading either Corey Kluber or Trevor Bauer would help their case for contention in 2019. Money talks, winning sells tickets — and so do players. The persistence of the Kluber and Bauer trade rumors is easily summed up as the following: Where there’s smoke, there’s fire....

The COVID-19 antibody test is a type of serology test, or blood test. This immune response test detects the immune proteins—called antibodies—that the body produces in response to the virus. It does not detect the virus itself. What Is an Antibody? Whenever the immune system is confronted with a disease-causing organism like a virus, it produces defensive proteins called antibodies that are matched specifically to that organism. The antibody “recognizes” the invader by proteins on its surface called antigens....

More than 87,000 people in 59 countries have become infected with the virus, and nearly 3,000 people have died, including two deaths in America. Health officials expect to see additional cases in the United States, and to try to curb the virus from spreading, President Donald Trump expanded travel restrictions. Vice President Mike Pence announced on Saturday that a travel ban was put in place, with foreign nationals barred from entering the U....

Health officials were able to trace the origin of all but one of the cases in the United States back to China or the quarantined Diamond Princess cruise ship. One person, a patient in California, tested positive for the virus despite no known contact with someone who was infected or relevant travel history–raising the possibility that the virus could be spreading in communities. “We knew this was inevitable as it relates to the nature of these viruses that that incident would occur,” California Governor Gavin Newsom said during a press conference on Wednesday....
