Manchester City’s runaway campaign has left the rest of England’s elite in their wake, including the Blues, who are 19 points behind the leaders and look certain to surrender their title. Of the previous six managers to win the league, only Manuel Pellegrini has stayed in the job throughout the following campaign, the Chilean lasting two years at City before he was replaced by Pep Guardiola. Conte has a contract at Stamford Bridge until the end of next season but has been regularly linked with a departure when 2017-18 concludes – reports he has routinely batted away....
England defender Cahill arrived at training on Tuesday with a fever and was admitted to hospital before being released two days later after undergoing tests. Chelsea are to meet Premier League title rivals Tottenham at Wembley on Saturday and, while Conte stated that Cahill’s illness is not serious, the Italian does not envisage him being fit to play.

LONDON (Reuters) - Antonio Conte has already surpassed expectations in his first year as Chelsea manager and a victory in Saturday’s FA Cup final against Arsenal would complete arguably the greatest season in the club’s history. A second Double, following the one completed by Conte’s fellow Italian Carlo Ancelotti in 2010, was not even on the radar last August when all the talk was of an expected battle for supremacy between Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City and Jose Mourinho’s Manchester United....
Lampard took over at Stamford Bridge after Maurizio Sarri’s departure to take charge of Juventus. Conte led Chelsea for two seasons preceding his compatriot Sarri, winning the Premier League in 2016-17 and bidding farewell with an FA Cup triumph a year later.

The Belgium international fractured his ankle in June but has stepped up his recovery, featuring for the national team and off the bench for Chelsea.

Aronson is part of a growing army of converts to core-strength training. Fans swear that working the torso–from the neck to the lower back, including the abdomen and the back and hip muscles–stabilizes and lengthens the spine, improves balance and circulation, creates a cinched waistline, prevents back injury and streamlines the body without bulking it up. Although there are no scientific studies to back up these claims, most experts say core training can indeed help....

Georgia Ananias, one of 4,200 survivors of the 2012 wreck, told the AP that the poor response by the Concordia’s captain and crew showed cruise lines weren’t serious about customer safety then, and COVID outbreaks on cruise ships show safety still isn’t a priority. Thursday is the 10-year anniversary of the accident, with a memorial planned in Italy to honor the 32 that died, 4,200 that survived, and residents of the island of Giglio who saved many of the passengers fleeing the ship that night and sheltered them until the next day....

As a result, Hall became the first fighter ever to win a fight without throwing a single strike. Chris Weidman suffered a completely broken tibia, among other fractures, during the fight and was hospitalized immediately after breaking his leg....

On Tuesday, the group will send a letter calling on Republican lawmakers and staffers to be wary of third-party lobbyists who receive funding from Big Tech in an attempt to “influence public policy on the Right” and to “carefully consider your interactions with Big-Tech funded groups.” “Over the last two years, Big Tech has not only interfered in our elections and increasingly censored conservatives, but also simultaneously plotted to coopt the Republican Party and avoid scrutiny on the Right by pouring millions of dollars into center-right think tanks,” wrote Jon Schweppe, director of policy and government affairs at the American Principles Project....
