MANCHESTER, England (AP) — Harry Maguire will miss Manchester United’s Premier League game at Liverpool on Sunday because of an injury, Erik ten Hag said Friday. The defender appeared to strain his groin in Tuesday’s Champions League defeat against Bayern Munich. Luke Shaw, who was also injured in that game, has returned to training and Marcus Rashford is available to play at Anfield after missing the Bayern game through illness. “Harry, he will not be available for the coming games, but don’t think it’s long-term,” Ten Hag said at a news conference.The United manager added that Anthony Martial, who also missed the Bayern match because of an illness, is not available. United will be without captain Bruno Fernandes, who is suspended. Ten Hag did not say who would skipper the team in the absence of the Portugal midfielder. United was routed 7-0 on its last visit to Anfield in March as it recorded its worst competitive defeat in more than 90 years.“I think everyone knows an...Sweden’s Sebastian Soderberg leads Mauritius Open after 2nd round

(CNN) — Flat-faced dogs are all the rage – and have been for a while. With its wrinkly nose and bat-like ears, the French bulldog – which recently climbed to take the title of the most popular dog breed in the US, according to the American Kennel Club’s 2022 registration statistics – is beloved of celebrities like Reese Witherspoon and Megan Thee Stallion.But while they are cute, some of these animals’ distinctive facial features could be affecting their sleep, researchers say.Researchers from Hungary’s Eötvös Loránd University used electroencephalogram tests (EEGs) to study the sleep of 92 dogs, attaching electrodes to their heads for three hours to record their brain activity and investigate whether flat-faced dogs suffered from poorer sleep quality than long-nosed breeds.Because of their narrow nostrils and smaller airways, flat-faced dogs are prone to breathing difficulties. Some veterinarians warn against buying these dogs, which have been bred to exhibit such characteristics.“...Event updates due to inclement weather in South Florida
