Tiger woods ready to return to action

Tiger Woods is waking up "pain free" for the first time in three years ahead of his return to golf at the Hero World Challenge, his fellow former world No 1 Jason Day said. Woods, who has not played competitive golf for 10 months as he recovers from a fourth operation on his back in three years, will be making his comeback next week at his own tournament in Albany, Bahamas. "I did talk to him and he did say it's the best he's ever felt in three years, he doesn't wake up with pain anymore, which is great," Day said on Wednesday ahead of the Australian Open. "I totally understand where he's coming from because sometimes I wake up and it takes me about 10 minutes to get out of bed. For him to be in pain for three years is very frustrating." The winner of five tournaments in 2013, 41-year-old Woods has played just 19 events since. The 14-times major champion made a previous comeback at the Hero World Challenge last year after nearl...

Hamilton hopes for Abu Dhabi scrap

Lewis Hamilton is hoping for any kind of competitive scrap to give him a chance of winning Sunday’s Abu Dhabi Grand Prix after qualifying second behind teammate Valtteri Bottas on Saturday. The 32-year-old newly-crowned four-time world champion blamed himself for a slight set-up error in the cooling evening conditions during the twilight qualifying session. "I just hope it’s not like a train," the Mercedes man told reporters. “I hope that there’s some sort of battle whether it’s degradation, or pit stops, or whatever. "Practice had gone well this morning,” he said. “I was really comfortable with the car, but this track gets cooler in the afternoon so you make some changes to counteract it. "I may have gone too far – probably I have gone too far. I was fighting the car the whole time….” Hamilton was fastest in practice, but could not translate that speed into pole position later in the day when the nearest Ferrari – of four-time world champion Sebastian ...

Mourinho offers Carrick coaching job

Manchester United Jose Mourinho has said Michael Carrick will be offered a coaching role under him at the Premier League club after the midfielder retires from playing. Carrick's sole appearance for United this season was in September's League Cup win over Burton Albion and the captain explained his absence from action last Friday, saying that he was on the mend from a heart operation. "Michael as a person is more important than Michael as a player, so we gave him the time to relax, to recover and to feel confident," Mourinho said after his team's 1-0 win over Brighton and Hove Albion on Saturday. "To make the decision he wants to play, he wants to stop (and take a break). He knows that my coaching staff has a chair for him if he wants, when he wants. "The chair is there in the office for him. I want that, the board wants that, the owners want that, so Michael is in a comfortable situation if his future will be with us." Carrick, 36, ha...

Hazard is back to his best - Conte

Chelsea manager Antonio Conte says forward Eden Hazard is finally back to his best after the Belgian displayed all his qualities of technique and speed in the 1-1 draw at Liverpool on Saturday. Hazard's dribbling and movement, on and off the ball, constantly posed questions for the Liverpool defence and the winger, who was so central to Chelsea's title triumph last year, certainly looks back up to full speed. The 26-year-old was injured while training with Belgium in June and had to undergo angle surgery, missing all of pre-season and the start of his club's title defence. But having eased him back into the side, Conte feels he is now reaping the rewards for his patience. "At the start of the season it was full of trouble because he had an injury with the national team and we started the season without him," Conte told reporters after an 85th minute Willian strike had earned his team a point at Anfield. "When you have this type of injury and you ...

Young strike hands United victory

Manchester United stayed on the tail of Premier League leaders and arch rivals Manchester City after a Lewis Dunk own goal gave them a laboured 1-0 win over Brighton & Hove Albion at Old Trafford on Saturday. United's 32-year old wing-back Ashley Young let fly from the the edge of the penalty area in the 66th minute and his shot took a heavy deflection off Dunk, leaving visiting goalkeeper Mathew Ryan rooted to the spot. The winner settled an uneventful contest as Brighton's packed defence foiled waves of attacks by United's 4-3-3 formation, with Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford deployed either side of striker Romelu Lukaku. But Brighton, who had several dangerous raids down Young's flank, failed to clear a corner and the home side took advantage to stay second in the standings on 29 points from 13 games, five behind City who visit Huddersfield Town on Sunday.
