O’Sullivan subsequently withdrew from the German Masters, Welsh Open and World Open, all on the eve of the tournament getting underway.
That raised concern O’Sullivan would miss the remainder of the season, including the World SnookerChampionship which begins in April.
However the world number four has quelled those fears by revealing his comeback date, as well as the reason why he has been missing from action in recent weeks.
He said: “I am really looking forward to coming to Hong Kong to play in the World Grand Prix.
“I have just been having a little break to keep myself fresh. I am excited to see you all.”
O’Sullivan missed a number of tournaments on “medical grounds” as the seven-time world champion prioritised his health.
He added: “I’ve been trying to prioritise my health and well-being, which sometimes means making last-minute decisions not to play.
“It’s never an easy decision and I hate letting people down. I’m doing what I can to get back to my best, and I’m grateful for all your support and understanding.”

O’Sullivan will make his return on March 4 at the World Grand Prix in Hong Kong, where he has residency.
He has made no secret of his love of playing in China in the past, preferring the venues in the Far East to the leisure centres where some UK tournaments are held.
O’Sullivan said of playing in China: “I always tell people you have to come to China. For me, it’s the greatest place on Earth.
“I would just recommend anybody to just come to China. It blows me away. Every city I come to in China … it’s like you’re in another world.
“It’s the best place in the world. There is no other place like China. Every city just has something amazing about it and Nanjing has a lot of history.”

MANCHESTER UNITED chief Omar Berrada has warned staff they face being sacked if they continue to leak information about the club.
The Red Devils’ CEO made the threat in a 580-word email to employees this week.

Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s United reign has been plagued by poor performances on the pitch.
Erik ten Hag was sacked earlier this season, with successor Ruben Amorim taking them even lower down the table.
While off the pitch, around 250 staff have been made redundant in a bid to reduce spending.
And now, those who remain have been warned that “additional measures” have been put in place to prevent any further leaking of updates.
Another 100 redundancies are expected to come in the following weeks and months.
But despite acknowledging the unsettling conditions, chief executive Berrada told staff that anyone caught leaking information to the media will be sacked.
An email seen by the Telegraph read: “Anyone disclosing information outside of the club is breaching their obligations of confidentiality, and we are very clear that this will be considered gross misconduct.
“To protect the club and its colleagues, additional measures are being put in place to prevent future breaches of confidentiality and also identify any persons responsible.

“Journalists are extremely well-versed in gathering information from multiple sources.”
United have not commented on the email sent out by Berrada.

PHILIPPE CLEMENT has spoken for the first time since Rangers entered advanced talks with the billionaire owners of the San Francisco 49ers.
PAPhilippe Clement has discussed the prospect of the NFL supremo taking over[/caption]
SunSport understands talks have been ongoing for a number of months and Rangers are confident of striking a deal with the NFL supremo.
It’s understood an agreement could be reached by the end of this season.
The takeover could impact Clement’s future at Ibrox, with the new owners expected to put their own stamp on the team.
But the Belgian isn’t fazed by the prospect of his future being in doubt and insists he is only focused on turning things around on the pitch.
Addressing the media today, Clement was quizzed on the takeover talks with the NFL giants.
He replied: “Those are business questions. I think the club addressed those things in the last couple of days.
“I am here, like I said, for the sporting side, and I will see in one moment of time if things change for the club.
“I’m purely focussed on the team and the performances. That’s my job.
“There is never a club where the manager is involved in these kind of of things.
“If things change and there is a different budget then of course, you are involved in it. That’s business.
“Those are rumours for the moment, there is nothing to talk about until something happens.
“It’s the same as with transfers in the window.
“I’m focused on the team and not the rumours, because otherwise I would forget to do my job, which is to make these players better and get better results.”
Asked if the prospect of new ownership could alter his position in the dugout, Clement replied: “No. No. I’m busy now with the group, the players and the next game – all of that.
“Those are the things that I’m in control of. It’s about the job every day, and getting the best out of the players.”
1 day agoworld NewsComments Off on The 8 interiors trends that will become outdated in 2025 – all-white rooms are over for a start
WITH spring fast approaching, some of us might be thinking about giving our homes a little freshen up.
The arrival of the new season brings with it a fresh start, so it’s no wonder that many homeowners consider this to be the ideal time to carry out renovations.
GettyInterior experts have said it’s bad news if you love rooms that are all white[/caption]
GettyAnother trend that is fading out is having light wood finishings[/caption]
Open shelves in kitchens are also a huge no-no in 2025Getty
And since most of us are already planning on thoroughly cleaning the house and de-cluttering, it can be perfect timing to do it all at once.
Especially since certain design trends are beginning to fade now that we are well into 2025.
And with that in mind, interior designers have revealed the trends that are quickly becoming outdated.
Experts have told how the future of interiors is all about timelessness and sustainability.
This is because 2025 is focusing on creating spaces that are both stunning and practical.
Gone are the days of quick fixes and all-white schemes – it’s time for more classic, enduring choices that focus on quality over quantity.
Interior design expert Zara O’Hare from Land of Rugs has said several popular trends are on their way out this year to make space for fresher, more sustainable options.
From having too many photo frames in the house, to concrete floors and brass furnishings, here are eight things that are becoming outdated this year.
1. The all-white look
Many of us love the fresh, clean, minimalistic look, which is why the all-white aesthetic has dominated homes for years.
However, Zara has revealed that this is now slowly slipping off the radar.
This is because it is becoming increasingly seen as being too clinical and giving a lifeless feel to your home.
She said: “The trend of all-white interiors is on its way out.
“People are now turning to richer, warmer colour schemes, especially with the rise of mid-century modern designs.”
Zara also highlights a shift towards more natural tones as she added: “Instead of stark white, we’re seeing soft creams and rustic beiges becoming more popular, particularly in kitchens.”

2. Shiny brass & light wood
Another trend that has dominated homes in recent years is having shiny brass and light wood finishes.
But this is another obsession that is quickly dwindling.
Zara has explained that while there will always be a place for both light wood and brass, there are other finishes that are taking their place in the trends list.
She revealed: “Brass will always have its place in the design world, but other finishes are now taking the lead.
“The preference is now swinging toward nickel and chrome, which can be mixed with brass for a balanced look.”
Referring to more popular wood finishings, she continued: “The trend of light woods like oak is giving way to deeper, neutral tones like walnut and cherry, which offer a more sophisticated feel”.

3. Industrial kitchens & open spaces
The industrial kitchen look was incredibly popular last year and saw many homes have exposed pipes and concrete floors.
While this can considered quirky and different, Zara has said that the trend has had its moment.
She explained: “Industrial style has always been more of a statement than a functional choice.
“The style can feel cold and impersonal, which makes it hard to sustain in the long run.”
Another kitchen-style choice that is becoming outdated is the open-plan style that most homeowners love, making way for “prep” kitchen styles instead.
Zara said: “Open kitchens, where everything is visible, will begin to fade out in favour of more practical, smaller ‘prep’ kitchens hidden away.”

4. The fast furniture era
Fast furniture is easy-to-assemble, flat-pack style furniture, so if you love a trip to Ikea then you might want to look away now.
While these can be convenient and cheap, they’re not always built to last.
And Zara believes that this is why people are now shifting towards more sustainable, high-quality options.
She revealed: “There’s a growing desire for eclectic, vintage-inspired pieces that are built to last.
Thrifting has become a major trend, and it shows no signs of slowing down in 2025.
Zara added: “Consumers are now more thoughtful about where they source their furniture, focusing on quality materials and sustainability over quick, throwaway designs.”
5. Open shelving woes
Open shelves were once all the range and are often seen in kitchens – however, it is also common in living rooms, bedrooms and bathrooms, too.
However, the experts have said that this is now starting to lose its appeal.
This is because homeowners are moving away from trends that have everything out on display.
Zara states: “While it may work for some decorative elements, in practical spaces like kitchens, open shelving has become more of a hassle.”
She also said that the upkeep of this trend can be tricky and not everyone has the time to deal with it.
She added: “We’ll definitely see a return to closed cabinets as people seek more storage solutions that are easy to maintain.”

6. Bouclé fabric
Bouclé is a textured fabric known for its fluffy look and is often found on future as well as certain types of wallpaper.
But Zara has said that is also on the way out.
The expert explains: “This material, while popular for a time, isn’t as versatile as other fabrics.
“It tends to come in neutral shades, which makes it feel a bit one-dimensional.”
The fabric also doesn’t have the breathable qualities of others.
And since “quiet luxury” emerging as a dominant interior trend, bouclé is expected to make way for more refined textiles.
Trends interior designers hate
IF you want to ensure that your home looks glam, here are the trends that interior designers can't stand.
NO YELLOW: According to Bilal Rehman, yellow paint in a bedroom is a big no no.
He said: “If you want everyone to know you’re a horse girl then yellow is perfect for you.”
SIGN OFF:Kelly Hoppen shared her honest thoughts on Live, Love, Laugh signs.
The interior pro explained: “Another gripe of mine – Live, Laugh, Love – those kinds of wooden things that sit on book shelves and floating shelves, that’s so 10, 12, 15 years ago.”
NO GREY YAY: Julie Provenzano explained that grey interiors have been overdone.
She stressed: “We took a good thing and we overdid it to the point that it now feels copy, paste, basic.”
7. Overdecorating (especially with personal photos)
We all love making our homes feel special and personal, which is why many have loads of photos of loved ones on the walls or on shelves.
But overdecorating has now lost its charm with homeowners expected to take down some frames.
Zara has said that this can make your space feel overwhelming and explained that simpler might be better.
Especially since most of us keep our photos close to us on our phones and on social media, which means there is less need to look at them on our walls.
The expert said: “In the age of Instagram and social media, people have a tendency to overdecorate their spaces with photos of family and holidays.
“While it’s important to make a home your own, this trend is becoming a bit too much for many, as it clashes with the move toward more minimalist, timeless aesthetics.”

8. The overuse of neon and bright colours
So many homes have bright colours and vibrant hues on the walls in a bid to bring life into the room.
However, interior design experts have said that excessive use of neon and electric colours is losing favour.
Instead, homeowners are moving towards classic, muted tones that create a more relaxing space.
Many of us want to switch off and unwind when we go home, and trends for 2025 are starting to reflect that.
Zara said: “The appeal of neon is fading as people move toward more muted tones like deep blues, rich greens, and terracotta.
“These shades evoke a sense of calm and are much more suitable for creating long-lasting interiors.”
