GEORGIA STANWAY has undergone a knee operation after suffering a serious injury during training with her club Bayern Munich. 

The England midfielder, who underwent surgery yesterday, ruptured a lateral ligament in her right knee earlier this week.

The German giants expect the player, 26, to be out of action for several months for their team who are battling to win a seventh Women’s Bundesliga title. 

This means Stanway could miss the rest of this season and face a battle to be fit for this summer’s Euros with England hoping to retain their crown. 

The Bayern Munich star was part of the Lionesses side, who under boss Sarina Wiegman, became the first England team to win the contest in 2022.

This year’s tournament in Switzerland is due to start on July 2 with England’s group stage opener against France taking place in Zurich three days later. 

Should the 75-capped Stanway return to fitness by then, there is a chance she may have not have played in any competitive matches before the contest’s start. 

Her last competitive appearance for her club, who are currently second in Germany’s top tier, was on December 18. 

Back then midfielder was part of the team that fell to a 3-2 group stage loss to Arsenal in the Champions League. 

Stanway, who joined Bayern Munich from Man City in May 2022, is a highly-regarded player for club and country. 

She began her senior club career at Blackburn Rovers in 2015 prior to signing for Man City later that year and then joining Bayern seven years after. 

Stanway, who was born in Cumbria, made an instant impact on her senior Lionesses debut scoring in a 3-0 friendly defeat of Austria in November 2018

Five years on from then  she helped her national team make history by winning the Women’s Euros for the first time. 

On the way to defeating Germany in the final of the 2022 contest she scored a long-range quarter-final winner against Spain.

Stanway’s fitness blow comes just over a month after Lioness and Man City defender Alex Greenwood sustained a medial and collateral ligament injury. 

The Cityzens captain was stretchered off during her side’s 2-0 defeat of St Polten in the Champions League.

She is currently working on her way back to fitness at the club after undergoing surgery following her MCL injury.

Urgent warning for shoppers as popular drink sold at Dunnes and Lidl recalled due to ‘presence of glass fragments’

AN urgent warning has been issued to Irish shoppers as a popular drink is being recalled due to the “presence of glass fragments”.

Batches of Newcastle Brown Ale were pulled due to a safety risk.

The Food Safety Authority of Ireland issued the warning.

Upon opening, some bottles contained glass fragments, leading to the recall.

If glass is present in a beverage, it can lead to severe injuries, including cuts or lacerations in the mouth, throat or along the digestive tract.

Due to these potential health hazards, the product was issued a recall notice to prevent any harm to consumers.

The FSAI said: “Heineken UK is recalling the above batches of Newcastle Brown Ale due to the presence of glass fragments upon opening the bottles. 

“Point-of-sale recall notices will be displayed in stores.”

The affected batches are 500ml bottles of Newcastle Brown Ale.

The batch codes are L4321, L4322, L4323, L4324, L4325 and L4326, with a best before date of 30/11/2025.

They have been sold at various retailers across the country including Dunnes Stores, Tesco and Lidl.

The affected batches have been issued a category one alert, which is given when there is an imminent risk to public health.

Wholesalers and distributors have been requested to contact their affected customers and recall the implicated batches and provide a point-of-sale recall notice to their retail customers.  

And buyers have now been told to throw away the product immediately.

The FSAI added: “Consumers are advised not to drink the affected batches.”

This follows the recall of batches of The Happy Pear products due to the possible presence of animal matter.

CONTAMINATION FEARS

The Food Safety Authority of Ireland issued the warning this afternoon.

Some canned chickpeas in The Happy Pear products may have accidentally come into contact with animal matter.

This poses a major risk to people who follow plant-based diets, like vegans or vegetarians, or those with allergies to animal products.

It’s also a concern for anyone who avoids animal products for ethical or religious reasons.

The FSAI said: “The Happy Pear is recalling specific batches of its products listed below, which contain canned chickpeas as an ingredient. 

“The affected batch of canned chickpeas is subject to recall due to the possible presence of animal matter. 

“Recall notices will be displayed at point-of-sale.”

The affected batches are The Happy Pear Red Pepper Hummus, Caramelised Onion Hummus, Reduced Fat Hummus, Hummus Triple Dip, and Moroccan Style Hummus.

The batch numbers, in order of the items listed above, are 4304, 4305, 4304, 4303, and 4305.

Chelsea ready to go right to transfer deadline in pursuit of Man Utd star Alejandro Garnacho with Napoli still in hunt

CHELSEA are ready to go right to the wire in their plans to land Alejandro Garnacho.

The Manchester United winger is wanted by The Blues and Italians Napoli as time ticks away on the January transfer window.

TRANSFER NEWS LIVE: STAY UP TO DATE WITH ALL THE LATEST MOVES FROM THE JANUARY WINDOW

Napoli are reluctant to improve on their £42million valuation and Chelsea are waiting in the wings to make a formal offer.

They are still monitoring the changing situation with Bayern Munich winger Mathys Tel, who could now leave the German giants having only recently pledged his loyalty.

Teenage Tel had been left on the bench in Bayern’s last three games before starting against Slovan Bratislava last night, and is reconsidering his future.

But the player is aware that he would face the same level of competition for a place at Chelsea as he would at the Allianz Arena.

The Red Devils are interested in a move for Tel on loan as they look to bolster their own attacking options.

Tel, 19, is also wanted by Tottenham and wants regular football, making a move there more favourable.

Chelsea are prepared to leave it late in order to get the best deals possible. The transfer window closes at 11pm on Monday.

Garnacho, 20, is available amid a mini Old Trafford reshuffle by boss Ruben Amorim.

Despite a slow start to life under the Portuguese boss, Amorim is happy to keep the Argentine starlet.

Speaking before Man Utd’s clash with FCSB, Amorim said: “I’m happy to have Garnacho here. He’s improving a lot. He’s a young, talented guy. You want to work with these talented players.

“That’s what drives the coaches to improve the team; to have these kind of players that you know they are going to improve a lot.

“In football, especially when we are in these situations, sometimes it’s hard, but I don’t want to focus on that. I’m really happy to have Garnacho playing tomorrow.”

However, club chiefs are understood to be open to a sale if the right bid comes in to help them satisfy PSR rules.

Chelsea are looking for wide players because there are suspicions that left winger Mykhailo Mudryk is about to receive a sizeable ban after testing positive for the banned substance meldonium.

The club is awaiting results of the B sample.

Tel appeals to Chelsea because although he plays off the left hand side, he considers himself a striker.

That makes him attractive to Chelsea who are set to lose Christopher Nkunku.

There is even a chance of a swap deal involving the two players between The Blues and Bayern.

Mum of five Katie, 46, opened up on her fresh life chapter on her new The Katie Price Show podcast.

She told sister Sophie she “feels focussed and wants to achieve all my goals this year” as she gushed: “Oh and guess what else I am doing this year?”

Katie told how she would be knuckling down to complete her Life Coaching course and carving out time to start an Access Course to become a Paramedic.

In her candid reveal the star she explained her passions and said: “The life coaching because I love anything about mental health.

“These are things I want to achieve for myself.

“And the Paramedic thing. I will have to do the access course.”

She added: “I’m so good with Harvey and I’ve also applied where Harvey’s going, because he moves back – I’ve found a place for him in March.

“He’s moving 20 minutes from me and they even said there that I’d be an amazing carer.

“So I said I’d be a volunteer once a week to do that.

“I just love helping people and I want to be on the road, or Air Ambulance, it is a long course.”

Katie’s eldest son Harvey, 22, was born with the rare genetic condition Prader-Willi syndrome, and is also autistic and partially blind.

Last year, the star told how she was “having a nightmare” securing Harvey another placement at his college.

He was previously accepted into a £350,000-a-year residential college three hours away from Katie’s former Mucky Mansion home in Horsham, West Sussex.

She previously told us: “It’s so upsetting to think I won’t see him every day but this is the best thing for Harvey and we have to think positively because I don’t want him to think I’m just getting rid of him.”

Yet now hew new role and Harvey’s new placement will see the pair spending more quality time together.

NEW ROLE

Back in 2023, we were first to report her shock new job.

Katie told how she had already got stuck into her first batch of online training and revealed the somewhat surprising news on her Instagram page.

Perched on her sofa wearing a tracksuit, Katie propped her laptop on her legs as she told fans: “Hi everyone.

“Now we all know I’ve had my ups and I’ve had my downs.

“Now I want to start helping people. I’m going to start my life coaching training with the coaching masters.

“It’s so easy to do and you get all your certifications, all of that, and it’s like a membership you do each month for £9.99.

“It’s amazing and you don’t have to be qualified, you don’t have to have knowledge of this and that, they literally teach you everything to become a life coach like I am going to become.

“It’s an amazing opportunity for everyone out there who have been through their ups and downs and to now help other people.”

She rounded off her message and added: “I’m really excited to do it. I am so happy I’ve come aboard.

“Who knows, I could be coaching you!”

‘It must be embarrassing,’ says Wayne Rooney as he opens up on seeing Marcus Rashford on visit to Carrington

The England international was working out in close promixmity to the pitches used by the junior Red Devils, which left Rooney with second-hand embarrassement.

During a recent episde of the Stick to Football podcast, he recalled: “I went into Carrington on Sunday to take my kids to game day and Marcus Rashford was out on the training pitch with the fitness coach.

“But he was right over towards where the parents were walking past for the kids’ games.

“I looked at him thinking how embarrassing it must be for him as parents walked past. He’s there and all the parents are walking past him.

“I was surprised when this started over two years ago, but now I’m not.”

Rashford stunned the Old Trafford faithful last December by revealing he wants to leave the club for a “new challenge” in an unauthorised interview.

His bombshell came after he was exiled from the first team by manager Ruben Amorim, who has been critical of his efforts in tratining.

And Rooney believes it’d be best for both parties if Rashford’s wish for a “new challenge” is granted.

He said: “I’ve spoken to Marcus a couple of times and I’ve given him my thoughts and feelings that he needs to leave the football club.

“Because whatever is going on in his life and at Manchester United, he’s not the same.

“For him to have a fresh start, he needs to leave the club.”

Rashford’s apparent lack of effort in training has stunned Rooney, who added: “The fact your manager is coming out saying you’re not training right is crazy.”

“It’s well known I asked Sir Alex Ferguson to leave the club but I still came in every day and trained.

“With Marcus, it’s been going on for two years, it’s really sad. You have your personal pride.

“Take the manager out of it, I’m coming in thinking, ‘I’ve got Roy Keane there, Ryan Giggs [and] Gary Neville.

“‘I want to show them that I deserve to be here.'”

United will be back in action this evening, travelling to Romania to take on Steaua Bucharest in their final Europa League group match.

Inspirational Kate visits children’s hospice to meet brave families affected by devastating illness

PRINCESS Kate arrived in Wales today for her first engagement in the country since revealing her cancer diagnosis.

The Princess of Wales visited Tŷ Hafan’s hospice in Sully, near Cardiff, where she spent time with children, families and staff.

The 43-year-old was appointed as its new patron, a position previously held by Princess Diana in its fundraising stage.

The first patronage Kate ever took on was East Anglia’s Children’s Hospice (EACH) and she maintains a close relationship with the organisation to this day.

Sources said the Princess is looking forward to building a similar relationship with Tŷ Hafan and the children and families it serves in Wales.

Kate played with eight kids during her drop in and spoke to four parents who lost children, as well as painting a hand print on the wall.

Kensington Palace arranged for a donation of musical instruments to be provided to the charity to allow them to conduct more music therapy sessions.

The Prince and Princess of Wales last went to Wales in October 2023 to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the arrival of the HMT Empire Windrush to the UK and mark the start of Black History Month.

The visit is part of Kate’s “gradual return to work” after her last minute decision to join Prince William at a Holocaust Memorial Day event.

It is not a sign she is “fully back to work”, but this type of pace is going to continue, insiders added.

Tŷ Hafan translates from Welsh to ‘Haven House’ in English.

It provides free care and support to children with life-shortening conditions and their families, both within the hospice and in homes and communities in Wales.

Irfon Rees, Chief Executive of Tŷ Hafan, said: “We are deeply honoured that Her Royal Highness The Princess of Wales has become Patron of Tŷ Hafan and it was an absolute pleasure to welcome Her Royal Highness to our hospice for the first time today.

“As our Patron, Her Royal Highness will be an inspiration for children with life-shortening conditions and their families, our dedicated staff and volunteers and everyone who so generously supports us.

“No parent ever imagines that their child’s life will be short. Sadly this is the reality facing thousands of families in Wales.

“We can’t stop this happening, but together we can make sure that no one lives their child’s short life alone.”

It comes after Kate hugged Holocaust survivors at a reception telling them it was a “treat” to see them again.

She had an emotional reunion with Yvonne Bernstein and Stephen Frank – two Holocaust survivors she photographed in 2020, ahead of a UK National Ceremony to mark 80 years since the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau.

As she sat catching up with Yvonne, the two women held hands, with Yvonne stroking the Princess’s arm and thanking her for coming at the reception held at London’s Guildhall.

Kate, in a black coat over black wide-leg trousers and a black sweater with a five-string pearl necklace, said: “It was such a treat for me to come and see an old friend.”

She had greeted the 87-year-old Yvonne saying: “It’s so nice to see you”.

And after hearing that Yvonne had suffered some health problems, she added: “You’ve had such a hard time, haven’t you?”

Kate also shared a warm hug with Stephen, 89, who thanked her for sending him a Christmas card and the two chatted about his family.

William sat with Polish born Alfred Garwood, who survived Bergen-Belsen as a child and Bosnian genocide survivor Sabina Kadic-Mackenzie, who now lives in Liverpool.

Both the Prince and Princess discussed their desire to teach their children about the Holocaust, with William saying: “George is getting to the age where he’s starting to understand things.

“So it’s getting interesting to talk to him about what happened.”
