Chelsea Midfielder Tiemoue Bakayoko Escapes Injury in a Car Crash

Tiemoue Bakayoko is ‘all good’ following his car crash on the way home from Chelsea training, says team-mate Michy Batshuayi. Bakayoko, who joined the Blues over the summer, came off the road five minutes from Chelsea’s training complex in Surrey. Images of his £150,000 Mercedes G63 AMG SUV in bushes and with a smashed windscreen have emerged.
A statement from Surrey Police confirmed the incident. It read: ‘Surrey Police attended Blundel Lane in Oxshot around 4.40pm following a one vehicle collision.

‘The driver did not suffer any injuries. There were delays for drivers while the vehicle awaited recovery.’

Batshuayi has since confirmed that Bakayoko is okay after the incident on Thursday.

In response to a question about the health of the summer signing, Batshuayi said his team-mate was ‘all good’.

The incident comes after recent comments from Bakayoko’s brother Namory that the Chelsea midfielder was struggling to get to grips with driving in England.

‘Tiemoue told me he wasn’t allowing himself to drive because he thinks it’s too crazy driving on the left! But he’ll get round to it,’ he said.

Bakayoko has made six appearances for Chelsea this season, including last night’s 5-1 victory over Nottingham Forest in the League Cup.

Juventus Manager Allegri Signs Contract Extension Untill 2020

Real Madrid Left Back Marcelo Ruled Out for One Month while Toni Kroos will Miss Real Madrid's trip to Alaves

Real Madrid star Toni Kroos is set join Marcelo in the treatment room when Los Blancos visit Alaves on Saturday (23 September) after suffering a rib injury. The news is a fresh concern for Zinedine Zidane as Karim Benzema, Theo Hernandez, Jesus Vallejo and Mateo Kovacic are also ruled out for the visit to Mendizorroza due to various injuries. Kroos, 27, missed the last weekend's 3-1 victory over Real Sociedad due to a fitness problem. The Germany international returned to Zidane's starting line-up for Wednesday's 1-0 defeat to Real Betis and was able to complete the full 90 minutes. However, it looks like Kroos suffered a recurrence of the problem in that game after Real Madrid revealed on Friday morning that the midfielder skipped the final training session before Los Blancos' trip to Vitoria. Zidane himself later confirmed the blow in a press conference, adding that he expects the midfielder to recover in time for the crucial Champions League trip t...

Tottenham Close to Completing £23m Serge Aurier Transfer

Tottenham are closing in on a £23million move for Paris Saint-Germain defender Serge Aurier. The Ivory Coast international has been free to leave the French giants following the arrival of Dani Alves to the club. Aurier, 24, has been heavily linked with Manchester United and Chelsea but Spurs have shown the firmest interest in the right-back. Mauricio Pochettino sanctioned Kyle Walker’s £50million move to Manchester City on the basis that Kieran Trippier had shown he was a worthy replacement towards the end of last season. However, the Argentine wants greater strength in depth and the Evening Standard claim Spurs are close to a £23m deal and Aurier will sign a five-year deal. Aurier was denied entry into the UK last October for Paris Saint-Germain’s clash with Arsenal because he was found guilty of elbowing a police offer a month earlier. The ban is still in place but Aurier is currently contesting the charge and Spurs are clearly confident that he will win his case....
