    QPR star Ilias Chair faces calls for two years in jail after ‘smashing lorry driver’s skull with a rock’

    PROSECUTORS have called for QPR star Ilias Chair to be jailed for two years after he was accused of smashing a lorry driver’s skull with a rock.A court heard a trucker suffered life-threatening injuries in a brawl.
    Ilias Chair denies the allegations following an alleged flare-up
    The allegations relate to an incident in Bazeilles, northern France, as the driver Niels T waited with his family for a coach back to Belgium after a kayaking trip in the summer of 2020.
    Morocco midfielder Chair, 26, denies the assault charge – with his lawyers claiming Niels T was out to make money from the footballer.
    Prosecutors in the Antwerp-born player’s home town say he and two friends got into an argument with the trucker.
    Antwerp’s public prosecutor said: “According to many people involved, Ilias Chair lashed out at Niels T with a stone and knocked him unconscious.

    “The consequences were dramatic for Niels T. He suffered a severe skull fracture, two centimetres long, and was taken to hospital at Reims in critical condition.
    “Afterwards he had to recover for a long time in a Belgian hospital, and could not do his job as a lorry driver for a long time.
    “The blow was almost fatal for him, and he still feels the after-effects.”
    The prosecutor asked for Chair to be jailed for two years and fined £1,400, as well as calling for lesser sentences for his friends Nora H. and Jaber C.

    Chair’s lawyer Alen Cilic told the hearing there was insufficient proof the ex-Stevenage loanee had caused the trucker’s injuries.
    He said Niels T and his family started the brawl and were trying to make money from the 12-cap ace.
    The lawyer for Nials T responded: “That is nonsense. We want damages of 16,000 euros, which is only about a week’s pay for Mr Chair.
    “My client almost lost his life, and it took surgeons to save him.
    “He was unable to work for a long time, and still suffers adverse reactions every day to having been hit with a rock.”
    The case continues.
    Chair is one of QPR’s key men in their fight to avoid relegation from the Championship.
    He’s made over 220 appearances for the Londoners, scoring 30 goals, since arriving from Belgians Lierse in 2017. More

    En-Nesyri, 26, fired home after a brilliant ball from Achraf Hakimi found him open in the Tanzania box.
    However, it appeared that the goal was going to be ruled offside as VAR announced the goal was being checked.
    During the break, the striker was one of three players to be taken off by manager Walid Regragui.
    En-Nesyri, Hakim Ziyech and Azzedine Ounahi were all replaced by Ayoub El Kaabi, Sofiane Boufal and Amine Harit.

    The striker managed to come off the pitch and sit down before VAR had reached its decision.
    After a long wait, the goal was finally awarded after he had been substituted.
    The Moroccan’s team-mates all jumped to celebrate with him on the bench.
    Fans were shocked on social media as one commented: “Is that a first? The VAR review for a goal by Morocco’s En-Nesyri took so long that he was subbed off before it was awarded and celebrated sat on the bench…”

    Ounahi scored just seven minutes after the dismissal before En-Nesryi wrapped up the win.

    I’m an undefeated MMA star but my brothers are making their own way as Man Utd hopefuls

    IBRAGHIM IBRAGIMOV is the undefeated MMA prospect looking to make his way to the UFC – but he could end up being overshadowed by his football-playing brothersThe Russian-born Brit is a perfect 6-0 in his mixed martial arts career and is one of the most highly-touted teen fighters in the UK.

    Ibraghimov, 19, regularly rubs shoulders with some of the biggest British names in the sport – including former UFC title challenger Darren Till and PFL star Brendan Loughnane.
    The teen sensation is well and truly on track to make it to the UFC – but his brothers could end up becoming bigger stars than him.
    Ibragimov’s younger brothers – Amir and Gazik – are working their way through the ranks of Manchester United’s youth teams.
    Amir, 15, is considered to be one of the best prospects in United’s academy and was recently invited to train with the first team.

    The midfielder has seemingly already been earmarked for a future leadership role having captained United-14s and Under-15s.
    His displays for the club’s younger teams have seen him rewarded with five appearances for the Under-18s.
    Despite also being held in high regard by the club’s coaches, Gazik, 14, has yet to be called up to train with the senior Red Devils.
    Amir and Gazik are often cheered on by their fighting brother Ibraghim, who proudly shares their highlights and achievements on his Instagram.

    Amir and Gazik aren’t the only members of the Ibraghimov family trying to make it at the Premier League giants.
    The duo’s youngest brother Muhammad is also on the club’s books following a move from Manchester City’s academy last November.
    The starlet was proud as punch with his move to United, which he lauded with his near 7,000 Instagram followers.
    Along with a snap of himself holding up a club shirt, he wrote: “Here to create history.”
    Given United’s recent willingness to promote academy stars to the first team and give them starts – Kobbie Mainoo being a testament to the fact – it’s not beyond the realms of possibility that either Amir or Gazik will be handed full debuts in the coming years.
    And who knows, they could by then have a UFC star of a brother cheering them on at Old Trafford.
    Amir has even had a sitdown with club legend Sir Alex FergusonCredit: INSTAGRAM@AMIR_IBRA7 More

    The Ivory Coast winger has managed just one Premier League appearance off the bench back at Manchester United this term due to injury.
    But a host of Championship clubs are still desperate to sign him on loan this month.
    Michael Carrick’s Boro are believed to be in pole position while Sunderland have been monitoring Diallo’s position over a potential return.
    Any possibility of a move away from Old Trafford was scuppered by an injury in pre-season that kept him out of action until the end of last month.

    And as Boro and Sunderland compete for his signature, the youngster responded to the recent speculation online.
    The 21-year-old shared a picture on his Instagram story of his time at Sunderland, accompanied by a kissing emoji.
    Diallo is said to have impressed since returning to Man Utd training and could be kept around as a result.
    The Red Devils are low on options when it comes to their front line and the former Atalanta man could provide cover for the likes of Marcus Rashford, Antony and Alejandro Garnacho.
