Wayne Rooney suffers nasty eye injury as he is forced to leave field 


   Wayne Rooney was forced to leave the field with blood pouring from his face after suffering a nasty eye injury during Everton's 2-1 win over Bournemouth.
   Rooney was elbowed in the face by Bournemouth defender Simon Francis following a challenge in the air and he suffered a cut around his eye. Rooney needed lengthy treatment from the club's medical staff before he was allowed to return to the field.

   Rooney protested heavily to referee Martin Atkinson over the challenge but the referee refused to hand out any punishment to Francis. Then two minutes before half-time, Rooney's wound re-opened following a challenge with Adam Smith. Blood streamed down the former England skipper's face and he needed more treatment from the Everton medics.
    The experienced forward eventually left the field on 55 minutes. His manager Ronald Koeman is hopeful that he will be fit for their next game against Apollon Limassol in the Europa League on Thursday.
Koeman said: "We knew it would be difficult for the second half. It cost time in the first half but I had to change him. Hopefully he will be OK for the next game."


Former Premier League referee Graham Poll believes Atkinson made the right decision to keep Francis on the field following the nasty looking challenge. He said Francis did not deliberately inflict injury on Rooney.
Poll, speaking on BT Sport, said: "It’s not deliberate. If a player wants to do someone with an arm, they tend to clench their fist to give it power.

Trump: North Korean leaders 'won't be around much longer' if they strike US If North Korea's foreign minister hoped to draw a response from U.S. President Donald Trump with his Saturday speech to the U.N. General Assembly, he succeeded. "Just heard Foreign Minister of North Korea speak at U.N.," the president tweeted late Saturday. "If he echoes thoughts of Little Rocket Man, they won't be around much longer!" The president was referring to Ri Yong Ho, who on Saturday called Trump "a mentally deranged person full of megalomania," and promised that a strike on the U.S. mainland was "inevitable."  "Little Rocket Man" was Trump's now-infamous label for North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. With his tweet, Trump seemed to reiterate a previous asserton that any strike by North Korea against the U.S. or its allies would be met with an overwhelming response. The address by Ri in New York City began as the ...
