The Nigeria striker returned to the King Power Stadium outfit from international assignment with a fractured hand. Iheanacho had missed the Super Eagles’ 2-0 loss to Serbia on Tuesday, after featuring prominently in their victory over Poland four days earlier. However, the Foxes manager Claude Puel is hoping the forward will be able to play when they take on ‎Chris Hughton’s men at the Amex Stadium. “[Almost] all the players are [fit],” Puel said on Thursday in a pre-match conference....

The forward has moved to the Foxes for a fee reported to be £25 million, with the 20-year-old signing a five-year deal at the King Power Stadium. Leicester 250/1 to win the Premier League In two full seasons at Man City, Iheanacho played 46 Premier League games and scored 12 goals, but found himself behind Sergio Aguero, Wilfried Bony and Gabriel Jesus in the pecking order. Iheanacho is eager to get started with Craig Shakespeare’s side, and is looking forward to becoming part of the Leicester first team....

Despite missing much of last season through injury, the 29-year-old striker scored 12 times in 19 Bundesliga appearances for Hoffenheim – a tally that was topped up by four goals on the final day of the season against Borussia Dortmund. “Many strikers can’t match that goal ratio. And my stats can get even better if I play every game,” Kramaric told Sport Bild. “I’m happy that I’m no longer injured....

He still has not spoken with Eagles coach Chip Kelly about the reason for the trade, which sent McCoy to the Bills in exchange for linebacker Kiko Alonso. McCoy, the NFL’s rushing leader in 2013, has his own theory for the move.

But many citizens of the smaller country have a different view. While generally ecstatic about their newfound freedom from an oppressive regime, they are wary of their self-proclaimed saviors, whom they suspect of coveting their natural resources. Will liberation be an excuse for occupation? To ensure a quick and painless victory, the invading country offers them incentives to defect. Then, as the cost of rebuilding becomes clear, the liberator announces that the battered nation’s natural resources will be used to foot the bill....

Jon Lester is joining the Cubs on a six-year, $155 million deal, and all of a sudden, what the world learned from Marty McFly in “Back to the Future 2” seems a whole lot more realistic — only when the Cubs win the 2015 World Series, they won’t be a 100-to-1 shot, and of course they won’t sweep Miami to do it. Having traded a pair of low-level minor leaguers for catcher Miguel Montero earlier on Tuesday, the Cubs added the premier pitcher on the free-agent market, a left-hander who turns 31 in January and has a 2....

There were plenty of signs that an era was coming to an end. As Clinton???s plane taxied down the runway at Andrews Air Force Base, blue-suited maintenance workers stood shoulder-to-shoulder, saluting him one by one. Reporters who???d covered the 1992 campaign resurfaced for the nostalgic trip back to Little Rock. But this time, the scribes took more souvenir snapshots than notes. Once the plane landed, Chelsea mugged for the cameras while the president pumped his fists triumphantly in the air....

While I didn’t watch your entire interview with Barbara Walters last Friday, I did catch a portion of it–the part where you talked about this whole SEC, FBI mess being an “unwelcome hiatus” in your life–and that small segment has prompted me to write you. I don’t know about anyone else, but I found that very revealing and, to be truthful, rather ominous. I didn’t memorize your exact words, but to paraphrase, you said that at your age an unwelcome, unexpected hiatus such as the one you feel trapped in now while waiting for the outcome of your trial is very difficult because you can’t afford a hiatus at this stage of your life....

The Dems’ Big Loss Your Nov. 18 cover package on the recent elections (“Top Gun”) provides an accurate, enlightening look at the reality of the election process in this country–and left me feeling deeply despondent and cynical. The article spoke of a “three-part game plan,” the “political opportunity” post-September 11, the plotting of strategy, extensive polling, " ‘favorability’ ratings" of candidates, fund-raisers’ netting record amounts of cash and coast-to-coast campaigning by the president....

It may develop as a side effect of some medications, or it may reflect an underlying autoimmune disease. Leukocytosis can involve all types of white blood cells or just a few.

German publication Express reports that Pep Guardiola has lined up the 19-year-old as a potential solution to City’s problems in the full-back positions. What Pep can learn from Pochettino City failed to make additions in those areas in the summer and have rotated between veterans Pablo Zabaleta, Bacary Sagna, Gael Clichy and Aleksandar Kolarov this term. All have struggled to make the right-back and left-back spots their own, however, and Guardiola is likely to seek reinforcements as soon as possible....

The junior guard averaged nearly 34 minutes and almost 10 points per game in the tournament before Kentucky bounced the Wolverines out, and he did so with varying degrees of pain in one of his feet. “It wasn’t really nagging me like that, it was kind of just a bother a little bit," LeVert told MLive. “A lot of times, after the games, I’d feel it hurting a little bit....

The Bayern Munich striker headed into the Group E contest one goal shy of Wlodzimierz Lubanski’s tally of 48. After Kamil Grosicki had fired Poland ahead in Yerevan, Lewandowski matched the haul of his now 70-year-old compatriot with a sublime 18th-minute free-kick. Lewandowski, who scored his first international goal on debut against San Marino in 2008, then claimed the landmark for his own after lashing home from an in-direct free-kick inside the area 10 minutes later....

The open letter released by the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) asked DaBaby to join them in “a private, off-the-record, virtual discussion” about HIV and misinformation that is harmful to the community. “At a time when HIV continues to disproportionately impact Black Americans and queer and transgender people of color, a dialogue is critical,” the letter read. “We must address the miseducation about HIV, expressed in [DaBaby’s] comments, and the impact it has on various communities....

NEWSWEEK: In general, how difficult is it still for women working inside the CIA? Lindsay Moran: The CIA remains very much a good ole boys network, and to move up through its ranks as a woman is certainly challenging. That said, the most successful spies—that is the CIA officers who were most adept at getting recruitments—whom I knew were women. The job relies greatly on a.) intuition and b.) a refined set of social skills....
