    The versatile midfielder most recently underwent surgery on his left hamstring in the first week of pre-season training last summer.
    And it looked like the former England youth international was turning a corner as he came on as a late substitute in the FA Cup third-round win over Burnley last month.
    And just when Sessegnon “saw a light at the end of the tunnel” he injured his other hamstring.
    The ex-Fulham star announced the heartbreaking news on social media and confirmed he will go under the knife once more.

    The Tottenham ace thanked his fans for all the messages of support and called for kindness online.
    Sessegnon posted: “Gutted beyond belief. Just when I saw a light at the end of the tunnel, and thought I was back doing what I love, I’ve had another setback.

    “Thank you to those who have sent messages of support — I can’t express how it feels.

    MMA star Renan Ferreira scores 20 second KO in front of Mike Tyson to secure Francis Ngannou fight and huge $2m payday

    RENAN FERREIRA sent a brutal message to Francis Ngannou following his stunning 20 SECOND knockout of Ryan Bader. The Professional Fighters League champion headlined in Saudi Arabia against Bellator star Ryan Bader.
    Renan Ferreira knocked out Ryan Bader

    And not only would the winner leave Riyadh with bragging rights and a championship belt but also a life-changing bout against Ngannou.
    The PFL announced the victor would be the man to welcome Ngannou back to the MMA cage.
    And Ferreira made short work of Bader after dropping the former UFC contender with a right hand in the opening stages.
    It did not take very long for the referee to then jump in as the giant 6ft 8in Brazilian reined down brutal strikes.

    Ngannou sat next to Mike Tyson cageside and watched on as Ferreira called him out following his KO of the night.
    He said: “I’m the record breaker, I’m the record setter. Francis, where you at? I’m waiting, let’s do this. I’m the champion out here.”
    Ngannou, 37, last year walked out on the UFC to sign for rivals PFL, who allowed him to pursue boxing along with his MMA commitments.
    He faced Tyson Fury, 35, on his boxing debut and astonishingly dropped the Gypsy King, only to lose a controversial split-decision.

    Now, Ngannou returns on March 8 back in Saudi against Anthony Joshua, 34.
    But the PFL have already confirmed he will fight Ferreira by the time he makes his MMA comeback.
    Boxing star Claressa Shields breaks down in tears after MMA win and reveals her arm nearly ‘SNAPPED’ in nasty submission
    And when Ngannou entered talks to sign with the PFL, he negotiated that his next opponent in the cage must be paid $2m (£1.5m).
    So Ferreira – who won the PFL’s $1m season last year – looks in line for another healthy payday when Ngannou swaps the ring for the cage. More

    Joana also warned her thousands of followers not to believe everything they read on social mediaCredit: joanasanz/Instagram
    The Spanish model, 31, took her frustration to Instagram and warning her fans not to believe the “barbaric things” said about her.
    In a short video, Joana said: “I was thinking not to give more hype to certain incoherent headlines.
    “But it’s quite surprising how feminist they are for some things, and for others they call me what I’ve been seeing out there?
    “‘Frivolous’, ‘little girl’, why? Because I’m working? Of course.

    “But then, if I don’t work, someone’s paying my bills or worse things, worse barbaric things I’ve heard out there.
    “In short, they need to criticise us, no?”
    The Tenerife-born beauty continued: “Another thing is that what I publish on social networks is not my 24/7 and it does not always have to be how I feel or stop feeling, when I open up and want to express my feelings.
    “I do it and when I don’t, I don’t have to.”

    She concluded her post by telling her 947,000 followers not to believe everything they see online.
    She said: “I mean, my friends know that, my circle knows it, in the end they are the ones who are living with me, so stop being guided by malicious or distorted headlines that go nowhere.
    “Work, people, because in the end the fridge doesn’t fill itself.”
    It comes after Joana posted a glowing selfie just minutes after the former footballer was found guilty of rape.
    And she accidentally shared a bizarre letter the disgraced rapist wrote to her from prison.
    Before being handed a four-and-a-half year jail sentence on Thursday, Alves wrote his ex an intimate letter from his cell as he awaited trial.
    He pleaded for forgiveness and thanked the model for being a strong woman as she went through “such a difficult time”, Vogue reports.

    Alves then declared his love for Joana, writing that he loves her very much, will always be with her, and that together, they are stronger.
    The letter also expressed gratitude for the model’s resilience amid the scandal.
    It read: “Within my imperfection, I learned that I cannot dedicate my time to what was, but rather transform my energy into what is.And what it is, is that you are what I dreamed of.
    “What I dreamed of and what I continue to dream of. I want to take all the paths with you. I didn’t have the wrong woman, yes, it was you.
    “There is not a single day, not a single moment, not a single plan in which you are not there.
    “I pray every day for the day to come that I can see you wake up. Nostalgia is not about not being able to do it now.
    “Wherever, whatever, whatever, but with you always by my side. I feel strange feelings. I love you.”
    After sharing the love note on her Instagram, the model quickly removed the post, saying she had meant to share it with her best friends only.
    She wrote: “I mistakenly posted something for everyone that was for best friends.
    “Tremendous speed of the media. Do they activate a follow-up on my Instagram with notifications or something?”
    Dani Alves was sentenced to four-and-a-half years in prison and ordered to pay £130,000 (150,000 euros) to the victim for the assault.
    But it can now be revealed that the Brazilian could be released from prison as soon as July 20 when he will have served a third of his sentence, reported Spanish media.
    Alves would be allowed to leave jail to work or “participate in activities” for the day before returning at night as per Spanish law. It is not clear what these activities will be.

    The Benfica faithful showed their support for Neves by chanting his name at the end of the game.
    And the support of his fans brought the young midfielder to tears.
    Benfica drew 0-0 with Toulouse on the night, which was enough to see them advance through to the next round.
    Neves has played 38 times in all competitions for Benfica this year, despite being just 19 years old.
    READ MORE ON FOOTBALL
    He has already been capped three times by Portugal.
    A combative deep-lying midfielder in the Rodri mould, Neves was linked with a big money move to the Premier League in the summer and January.
    United were interested in the midfielder last summer, although the emergence of Kobbie Mainoo in his position may see their interest in him cool.
    He has also attracted the interest of Arsenal as they look to replace Thomas Partey in the summer.
    Most read in Football
    Neves was thrust into the Benfica first team last year when he was just 18 to replace the outgoing Enzo Fernandez, who signed for Chelsea in a £107million deal.
    Benfica were playing in the play-off of the Europa League after dropping down from the Champions League this year.
    They will find out their opponents in the round of 16 in March. More
