Real Madrid midfielder Sami Khedira has undergone surgery on a knee problem.

The Germany international is sidelined with a hamstring injury but has also now received treatment on his left knee.

Khedira missed most of last season after tearing the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee before suffering a strain in the other one at the World Cup.

A statement released by Madrid on Wednesday read: “Sami Khedira, who is out injured with a left hamstring problem, has undergone an arthroscopic revision on his left knee.

“The procedure went successfully and was conducted by Dr Ulrich Boenisch at the Hessingpark Clinic in Augsburg with the supervision of Dr Jesus Olmo.

“The player will continue to be treated by the Sanitas Real Madrid Medical Services in the next few days.”

Khedira’s current hamstring problem has caused consternation between Madrid and Germany due to a dispute over where the 27-year-old first picked up the problem.

Anxiety and sleeping pills ‘linked to dementia’ 51% increase risk if used for 3 months or more.

Long-term use of pills for anxiety and sleep problems may be linked to Alzheimer’s, research suggests.

A study of older Canadian adults found that past benzodiazepine use for three months or more was linked to an increased risk (up to 51%) of dementia.

NHS guidelines say the drugs should be used for eight to 12 weeks at most.

The French-Canadian team says while the link is not definitive, it is another warning that treatments should not exceed three months.

“Benzodiazepine use is associated with an increased risk of Alzheimer’s disease,” lead researcher, Sophie Billioti de Gage of the University of Bordeaux, France, and colleagues wrote in the BMJ.

This study shows an apparent link between the use of benzodiazepines and Alzheimer’s disease although it’s hard to know the underlying reason behind the link”

“Unwarranted long-term use of these drugs should be considered as a public health concern.”

The study involved about 2,000 cases of Alzheimer’s disease in adults aged over 66 living in Quebec. All had been prescribed benzodiazepines.

They were compared with about 7,000 healthy people of the same age living in the same community.

While an increased risk was found in those on benzodiazepines, the nature of the link was unclear.

Dr Eric Karran, director of research at Alzheimer’s Research UK, said: “This study shows an apparent link between the use of benzodiazepines and Alzheimer’s disease although it’s hard to know the underlying reason behind the link.

“One limitation of this study is that benzodiazepines treat symptoms such as anxiety and sleep disturbance, which may also be early indicators of Alzheimer’s disease.”

Long-term use

Prof Guy Goodwin, president of the European College of Neuropsychopharmacology, said the findings “could mean that the drugs cause the disease, but is more likely to mean that the drugs are being given to people who are already ill”.

Dr James Pickett, head of research at the Alzheimer’s Society, said with 1.5 million people in the UK being prescribed benzodiazepines at any one time, “evidence that their long-term use increases the risk of dementia is significant, and raises questions about their use”.

Benzodiazepines are used to treat anxiety disorders and insomnia.

Despite published guidance on their appropriate use for short-term management, inappropriate prescribing of the drugs is still a concern.

Experts are calling for better monitoring of side-effects, particularly in older adults.

Wenger looking to be the core of England squad, this could be promising for future England team.

Recent signing could be brilliant for England, as you see Barcelona helped Spain become champions in the past also Bayern core of German players help Germany become so strong.

Could Arsenal help England become the next champion with core of quality England players that have signed?

Wenger seems to be strengthening with great England prospects adding to Wilshire, Oxlade Chamberlain, Walcott, Gibbs and now added Chambers with Welbeck signing the future of England squad could be brilliant.

By the time the next championships these players will be in their prime and hopefully all be first team players at Arsenal and England.

WELBECK- “We found Luke Shaw eating a pasty before training in his car”

The new Arsenal striker hits out at former team mate Luke Shaw on his eating and weight.

• “We caught him eating pasties”
• Was the fattest in squad apart from Rooney.
• Always in Nandos.
• Was rude always burping and farting around the place.

The secrets were revealed after giving the interview to the official Arsenal internet based tv show, Welbeck the 23 year old England and Arsenal striker tells all on ex United and current England team mate Luke Shaw.

Danny Welbeck claims that not many people got on with Shaw in the United squad and even in the England team.

The left back is said to have a huge eating problem, Welbeck claims they caught him eating a pasty in a car in the training pitch at 10 in the morning.

He also claims Van Gaal hates him and certain he won’t be first choice at the club with Van Gaal claiming he never signed him and didn’t want the “over weight left back” in his team.

Another jibe is that “he was always in Nandos, the lads always went on about it as a joke but certain players became concerned because he hit it 3 times a day sometimes”

Welbeck added “He was the dirtiest player always stank of sweaty feet burping and farting, the lads had enough in the end confronted him about his hygiene”.

Everyone over social media are eagerly awaiting for the interview to be shown until then it can’t be clarified on what terms Welbeck left United and Shaw.
