The latest on the Manchester City injury front as they prepare to face Arsenal in the Community Shield in Cardiff tomorrow afternoon.

It might be viewed as a glorified friendly by some, but Enzo Maresca is keen to bag the first trophy of the season at Manchester City when they face Arsenal in the Community Shield in Cardiff tomorrow.

Maresca’s XI will likely be missing a whole host of the club’s biggest stars as they continue to build up match fitness after their post-World Cup breaks, and there are also a couple of injury concerns to contend with.

Ahead of Maresca’s first game as City boss on British soil, here’s a look at the injury latest:

Jack Grealish

Injury: Foot

Grealish has only recently returned to team training after recovering from a foot injury picked up while on loan at Everton last season. Grealish looks set for an exit this summer and he is unlikely to play any part this weekend having only just returned to training.

Should he play for the Blues again, a return in the first game of the season against Bournemouth looks to be the earliest date he could possibly return.

Possible return date: Bournemouth, August 23

Savinho

Injury: Illness

Savinho is another who looks set to leave City this summer, with Spurs once again interested in his signature. The Brazilian did not take part in training on Thursday.

Speaking about Savinho on Friday, Maresca said: “He was not part of the session [on Thursday], he was a little bit ill. We’ll see today, the session is in the afternoon, so we’ll see how he is today and we’ll decide [whether he is available vs Arsenal].”

Savinho seems unlikely to feature on Sunday having missed training this week, and so a return against Bournemouth looks more likely should he represent the Blues again.

Possible return date: Bournemouth, August 23

Rodri

Injury: Back

Rodri underwent minor back surgery after the World Cup this summer and only returned to England this week. He is another who looks to be on his way out of the Etihad exit door, and it is unclear whether he will play for the club again as Barcelona step up their interest in him.

Either way, Sunday will come too soon and it will take him time to get back up to match fitness.

Possible return date: Crystal Palace, August 28

Ryan McAidoo

Injury: Shoulder

McAidoo picked up an injury during City’s pre-season tour of Asia.

Speaking on Friday, Maresca said: “The only one is Ryan McAidoo. He had a small problem in pre-season, but he’s already worked with us so everyone is fit. Knowing that some of them have arrived just two days ago.”

McAidoo looks unlikely to feature against Arsenal.

Possible return date: Bournemouth, August 23

People have been invited to “pay their respects” on Saturday afternoon by lining roads in Newton and Mumbles, a seaside suburb of Swansea, while others began gathering outside her home in the morning.

“She was lovely – just like a friend you’d known all of your life,” said Angela Powell who was among the first to arrive.

“My mam used to cut Gaynor’s husband Bobbie’s hair and so he would let her into the nightclubs [which he managed] in the town without having to queue.

“She actually met my father in one of them, The Townsend, where Bonnie would regularly perform.

“My father is unwell so my mam is home looking after him and can’t be here, so I wanted to come on behalf of us all to thank her.

“I’ve met her a few times – in Marks and Spencer and on a flight to Portugal.”

Andrea Witts from Bryncoch and Maggie Phillips from Gorseinon said they both grew up with Tyler’s music and wanted to honour her.

“Many years ago I worked in Skewen and taught her niece. The whole family were lovely. I would often bump into her in local shops and restaurants and was she was always lovely,” said Maggie.

There was another reason this row had such a high profile. Jason Arday was a celebrity academic known as much for the remarkable life story he told, of an autistic child who didn’t speak until 11, or learn to read and write until 18.

Other aspects of his personal narrative came under scrutiny, and he had to clarify that £5m raised for charity had been as part of a group effort, and that a 600 mile running challenge had taken twice as long as originally claimed.

Some who had signed a public letter of support quietly removed their names.

By the time he resigned his Cambridge position last week Jason Arday said the “relentless accusations” had taken a “profound toll” on him and his family. He suggested they had been racially motivated.

There are many unanswered questions which a coroner will no doubt be expected to consider about his circumstances and state of mind in the days before his death.

In the immediate aftermath of his death, his family said Jason Arday had been subjected to a “campaign of misinformation” that was too much for this “gentle man”.

Others think that he attracted so much scrutiny because he was a black man in a prominent position.

Sir Sadiq Khan, the mayor of London, said Jason Arday had been “the victim of a pernicious public shaming that other people in his position simply wouldn’t have faced. His death was a tragedy, but once again it should be a wake up call for all of us.”

There has been deep unease among some academics of colour who feel the ferocity of the debate was due to Jason Arday being a young black academic.

Professor of Black Studies Kehinde Andrews, a friend of Arday, told Newsnight in the wake of his death: “This is not just something that has happened in the past two weeks, we’ve seen the stories, this goes back three and a half years.

“The very day he got the position at Cambridge he had a Freedom of Information request asking about his credentials. He had all the right-wing people in America and the UK writing in to see if he was credible.

“Some people didn’t believe a black man should be in that position at Cambridge.

“It’s been a three-and-a-half-year toll which has come its head now.”

What is certain is that Jason Arday had sought to defend his reputation, using a high-profile firm of lawyers to send a letter to a journalist from Times Higher Education who first questioned his work.

The University of Cambridge initially robustly defended Jason Arday then announced an investigation into his appointment and tenure amid growing disquiet.

In 2023, as an elite university which had been criticised for a lack of diversity, Cambridge had been keen to make some high-profile non-white appointments. It had already made a huge effort to ensure admission of students was more diverse.

Whoever was appointed into such a high profile post would have faced scrutiny and Jason Arday had a slighter research track record than some others in the field.

Dr Jo Grady, general secretary of the University and College Union, described Jason Arday’s death as “devastating”.

“There are so many questions that need to be answered. The level of harassment he suffered and the racism he was subjected to, has been sickening. It must be investigated.”

For the University of Cambridge now there will be the difficult task of holding together an academic community divided and shocked by the controversy and now the death of Jason Arday.

It had announced an investigation into his appointment and tenure at the university and a review of how senior staff are chosen.

Now all of that has been overtaken by his sudden and shocking death.

Celine was reported missing from her home in Annfield Plain, having last been seen at 7.10pm on Friday (August 14). 

Durham Police said it is becoming increasingly concerned for the welfare of the 61-year-old, who is deaf and also has dementia. 

She may be wearing a pink long sleeved top and black trousers.

If you have seen Celine, or know where she is, please contact the force on 101, quoting incident number 248 of August 15.

The latest explosive claims from new warts-and-all biography about Brand Beckham allege new friction within the famous family with Victoria said to have stepped in to prevent Cruz and Brooklyn deviating from their cultured image

An expose on life behind the veil at Brand Beckham leaves no stone unturned in its claims about David and Victoria’s relationship with their family, and each other. Brand Beckham: The Fame. The Feuds. The Fallout by Alison Boshoff goes into explicit detail about the inner working of the family and how Brooklyn, 27, allegedly wasn’t the only sibling to try and carve a career away from the shadow of the Beckham name. Brooklyn effectively ended his relationship with parents David and Victoria, his siblings and the lucrative family brand following the publication of a lurid six-page statement earlier this year.

Ever since, interest in the machine behind the power family has hit fever pitch. Here are the most explosive claims.

Victoria ‘scuppered’ plans for Cruz to drop Beckham name for the sake of his career

He’s currently half a dozen singles into a burgeoning music career, but Cruz Beckham’s decision to launch himself as the charismatic frontman of indie band The Breakers followed the sacking of his entire management team.

According to Boshoff, concerned mum Victoria stepped in after management firm TaP attempted to separate the young musician from Brand Beckham and inevitable nepo baby connotations by dropping his surname and playing a series of ‘ordinary London pubs… to make his rise look more organic.’

The former Spice Girl’s subsequent decision to share footage of Cruz performing at film director friend Guy Ritchie’s pub went against their plans, and TaP ‘parted company’ with Cruz ‘on friendly terms,’ with a source adding: ‘The whole point was to distance him from being Posh Spice’s baby boy – she scuppered it.”

Cruz eventually relaunched his career with the Breakers in October 2025, with parents David and Victoria promoting his music across their own hugely followed social media channels as he prepared to release his first single, the double-A side Optics/For Your Love.

Victoria allegedly stopped Brooklyn from launching a fashion line

The book claims fashion designer Victoria, 52, also denied Brooklyn use of his own surname after he planned to launch a £3million clothing range with affordable online brand BoohooMan, purportedly because of its association with ‘fast fashion’ – despite previously launching her own cost-effective range with Target.

According to sources, Victoria had a ‘change of heart’ after initially agreeing to the use of his surname. “It did get into a bit of the war with the brand,” an insider told Boshoff. “And the deal then did not happen.”

Brooklyn ‘feels the pain’ and is ‘so sad’ about family estrangement

Despite the acrimony, the US based cooking influencer allegedly mourns the absence of his immediate family, with friends claiming he feels the ‘pain of separation keenly’ and is ‘so sad about it still.’

Additionally, actress wife Nicola Peltz, 31, is believed to be open to her husband maintaining a relationship with his immediate family and will ‘never stop’ him travelling to the UK for a potential reunion, despite being ‘over’ the ongoing drama herself.

Nicola Peltz and Victoria are ‘very similar’

Victoria’s notorious wedding dance with Brooklyn is one of the biggest takeaways from his six-page Instagram statement, but sources claim there are distinct parallels between the former Spice Girl and her daughter-in-law, Nicola.

According to the book, Brooklyn ‘married his mother’ after exchanging vows with Nicola at her family’s sprawling Florida home in 2022. ‘Nicola and Victoria are very similar people,’ a source added.

Friends also claimed how Brooklyn was often naïve while dating and became easily ‘besotted’ by girlfriends, among them influencer Hana Cross, long before his first meeting with Nicola.

It’s claimed the family members expressed concern over his ability to be ‘absorbed’ by whoever he is dating with the alleged comment: ‘If they like poodles, he likes poodles.’

Victoria had a ‘low status’ in The Spice Girls and was repeatedly teased by one bandmate

Girl Power may well have been the ethos that turned them into global icons, but female empowerment didn’t always extend to The Spice Girls’ attitudes towards each other, according to the new book.

Famed for her Posh Spice moniker, Victoria allegedly had a ‘low status in the band’ and was frequently teased by her bandmates – notably Scary Spice Mel B.

Following the departure of Geri Halliwell the group eventually embarked on respective solo careers in 2000, but the financial lure of The Spice Girls brand prompted a tense reunion in 2007, during which Geri ‘annoyed everyone.’

Victoria later claimed The Spice Girls’ publicist once told her to say her famous black tube dresses were purchased at Gucci – ‘even though they were from Miss Selfridge.’

The Mirror approached representatives for Victoria, David, Brooklyn and Cruz Beckham, Boohoo Man, Mel B and Geri Halliwell for comment.

Brand Beckham: The Fame. The Feuds. The Fallout by Alison Boshoff is available to purchase now.

It has been named among the best wedding venues in the county

A wedding day is one of the most important events in a couple’s love story and making the right decisions to create a wedding they will remember for the rest of their lives is a delicate matter. Thankfully, Cambridgeshire is home to so many beautiful venues to tie the knot.

However, one wedding venue featuring a gold room with an 18-carat gold leaf ceiling and an intriguing wartime past to impress the history enthusiasts particularly stands out. Holmewood Hall is a stunning Tudor Gothic-style manor surrounded by 10 acres of manicured grounds & parkland in the charming village of Holme and near Stilton.

The venue has stunning reception spaces that are steeped in history and exuding elegance. Its ultimate draw is its Gold Room which you can exchange vows in.

The room offers seating for up to 77, a 50-foot-long aisle for a grand entrance, an incredible 18-carat gold leaf ceiling, period fireplace and huge stained glass windows.

Holmewood Hall dates back to 1611 when it was sold to the 1st Baronet of Connington, Sir Robert Cotton. Later, the Cotton family went on to sell the manor to London merchant Thomas Truman.

After his death in 1769, Truman passed all of his Huntingdonshire estates including the now-loved wedding venue to Elizabeth, his niece, and her husband William Wells. The Wells family, who were responsible for much of the hall that can be seen presently, went on to built a beautiful legacy.

Work began again on site in 1873 and and it became virtually unrecognisable from the buildings that had stood there previously. The great hall and staircase were inspired by the Jacobean era, whilst the original drawing room was transformed into the venue’s iconic Gold Room.

Following the death of Sir William Wells in 1889, the house was passed onto John Ashton Fielden, one of the richest men in England.

Four decades later, Holmewood Hall took on a completely different role in wartime Britain as a base for the US Office of Strategic Services (OSS). Fast forward to nowadays, the venue has become a highly sought-after venue for couples to say ‘I do’.

Its website states: “With Personal Wedding Managers to guide you and a dedicated team of chefs to create your bespoke menu, the team at Holmewood Hall are backed by 25 years of experience in making wedding dreams come true.”

Depending on whether the weather is kind, the Mr and Mrs to be can have a magical outdoors ceremony at The Bandstand. The happy couple can experience dining to remember in the Banqueting Hall with captivating views across the lake, then party the night away in the Vault.

To complete your dreams, the venue offers 18 bedroom suites, including a bridal suite for the couple and their guests to retire to at the end of a long and beautiful day.

It was also named among the most popular wedding venues in Cambridgeshire by Hitched, the wedding tech platform, also globally known as The Knot, in its Wedding Awards for 2026.

With 4.6 stars out of five on Google, this wedding venue is truly sought after. One person wrote: “Holmewood Hall is the most stunning venue, and one my family, and I had the pleasure of experiencing prior to it being a wedding venue.

“We always knew this would be the place me and my now husband would choose for our magical day. The building is steeped in so much history, and the architecture and extensive grounds speak for itself. It is truly a royal, hidden gem.”

Another wedded pair said: “Even from our first visit, we fell in love with the venue and grounds, and knew we wanted to get married there. The bridal suite in particular completely blew us away, it is such a stunning room!”

Donald Trump has threatened to declare the Strait of Hormuz a US territory, escalating his rhetoric over control of the waterway amid the war with Iran.

The US president said he would make the designation “pretty soon”, as Tehran and Washington remain at an impasse over the future of the strait nearly six months after it was closed when the US and Israel launched their war on 28 February.

“After we finish defeating Iran, which is being very badly defeated, pretty soon I’ll be declaring the Hormuz strait a territory of the United States,” Mr Trump told a crowd of law enforcement officers.

“Essentially, that’s what it is. We have the blockade. No ships get through unless we want them to.”

Iran has remained defiant in its stance, calling on the US to accept defeat and declaring that Tehran had decided not to resume talks.

“This strait will be opened and closed only under Iran’s command, and so long as you do not accept the reality of defeat and stop indulging in fantasies, Iran will continue to enforce the blockade,” Iran’s deputy foreign minister, Kazem Gharibabadi, posted on X early on Saturday.

On Friday, just two vessels passed through the Strait of Hormuz with no crude oil shipments visible, according to analysis from ship-tracking firm Kpler. Before the war, more than 130 ships would transit the strait daily.

Foreign minister Abbas Araghchi told Iranian news outlet Shahrara News in an interview published on Saturday that Washington must meet Iran’s conditions on the strait in order for shipping to resume.

Addressing the June ceasefire which has been left in tatters, Mr Araghchi added: “We did not have a ceasefire in the first place that we would now want to extend. We had ‘the end of the war’, and now there is a new situation.”

But Mr Trump, speaking to a political rally in New York’s Garden City, warned Americans they will have to accept higher gas prices as the war continues.

That paying “a tiny little bit more for your gasoline” is worth it to ensure “a very evil country” cannot have a nuclear weapon, is one of the president’s stated rationales for the war.

The average US price of a gallon of gasoline was about $4.08 (£3.02) on Friday, up 29 per cent from a year earlier, according to the American Automobile Association.

It makes sense to play as close as possible a team to the one that will start against Hull here, which is what I would do. That means Lammens in goal, obviously. Dalot and Shaw are clearly the first-choice full-backs and I’d play Maguire and Yoro together at centre-back.

Midfield is a tricky one, because it was Mount, but his injury is now something of a mystery. Tielemans is ahead of Mainoo from a fitness point of view so has to start alongside Santos, who is a lock in midfield. Fernandes should also be ready to start his first game of pre-season.

Sesko’s absence also remains a concern and even if he is fit next week, there is no way he can start. Mbeumo has been very good at centre-forward, Amad can continue on the right and I’d start Cunha on the left.

Steven Railston

It’s the final game of pre-season, so it’s advantageous for the line-up to mirror the XI who will start on the opening day of the campaign against Hull. Maguire should start alongside Yoro if he’s fit.

Mount missed the game against Leeds in Dublin as a precaution and I would have brought him back into the team if he had been included, but he’s absent again, so Tielemans should start instead.

Mbeumo is nailed on to start down the middle again. Dorgu hasn’t really done much wrong on the left wing, but his final ball lacked a bit against Leeds, so I would like to see Cunha given a chance from the first whistle.
