The Oregonian's Geoffrey C Arnold has reported via Twitter that "Eddie Johnson sustained another concussion during training Monday and has returned 2 [sic] Portland."

Merritt Paulson has also tweeted: "eddie's out indefinitely. His health and well-being are the #1 priority for everyone in the organization"

This news is a huge setback for the team.

Is Sidney Crosby's NHL career all but over? It's starting to look that way. The superstar for the Pittsburgh Penguins not only is dealing with post-concussion syndrome, he also has a neck injury. Crosby is currently seeing specialists and is expecting a diagnosis within the next couple days.

Pat Brisson, Crosby's agent, had this to say about the neck injury: "The good news is he's safe.

It looks like we have a player signing before the draft after all. Colombian international and apparently now former Millonarios player Rafael Robayo announced over Twitter today:

'How LFC course changed my life'

A Liverpool fan has revealed how participating in the club's Action for Health scheme helped make a vast improvement to his all-round life.

We hate to be the bearer of sad news, but this 1-year-old girl suffered the worst bruises (and possibly a bone crack above her nose) in the car accident involving Germany's Lukas Podolski in Cologne two days ago. There is some controversy involved as the child's mother, Ulrike, has accused Lukas of being ignorant (which is pretty unfair to the striker, to be honest!

College football's worst kept secret will soon become official: Urban Meyer will be the next coach at Ohio State. According to sources, Meyer will sign a $40 million deal to take over at a school that saw Jim Tressel get fired earlier in the year due to a tattoo parlor controversy.

Ohio State, even though they are paying top dollar, must be thrilled.

Looking like a scene from the Temple of Doom, Liga Deportiva Universitaria de Quito fans clamber up the fencing at the Casa Blanca Stadium in Ecuador to cheer on their side during a 2-0 Copa Sudamericana semi-final win over Velez Sarsfield last night presumably infringing several 'Health & Safety' guidelines in the process.

Cologne and Mainz top flight Bundesliga game was called after 41 year old Banker Babak Rafati who had been due to referee the tie attempted suicide in his Hotel room.

Rafati's assistants new there was something a miss when the referee of over 200 top flight games including Champions League ties was unusually late and not answering his phone.

During the friendly against Uruguay, it was not only the style of play expectorated out by our boys in blue that caught the eye, nor simply Riccardo Montolivo's pale, cold, and bewitching face, and more than just Cesare Prandelli's jacket, it was the dazzling new blue shirts worn by the Azzurri that truly slapped the mind of this restless footballing warrior (apologies to Elton John for that metaphor) with the cold hand of seduction, perfumed on the wrist with a heady glamour tinged with the unearthly fumes of nostalgia, all the while softly intoning in a luscious Pisan accent a call for it's soft, azure fabric to be worn in sickness and in health, an irresistible siren's call from an antique realm.

The Premier League might not be playing right now, but that doesn't stop the players from representing their countries. Taking long flights, scoring or not...and generally making managers nervous about the state of their health. Not least Harry...

What are the odds UEFA reduce Rooney's ban? Derek McGovern's Bets of the Day

When you look at England's strike options for the Spain game on Saturday, one thing springs to mind: Please God force UEFA to reduce Wazza's ban. Darren Bent is 1-5 with Hills to start against Spain and Gabriel Agbonlahor is 2-5 yet, if Spanish, neither man would be allowed anywhere near a Spain international ?

Monaco aren't exactly basking in rude health at the moment, languishing down at the arse-end of the French second tier following their relegation from Ligue 1 last season though Marama Vahirua's sublime volleyed goal against Le Mans (to equalise with just five minutes left to play) on Saturday certainly provided a brief distraction from the club's ongoing woes.

It is all too easy to get snobby and sneer at footballers about their (usual) lack of a high-level education. And too often that sneeriness is borne out of nothing but jealousy at the fact they get paid shed-loads of money for simply playing football. Still, in the case of poor old Darren Mackie of Aberdeen, it's hard not to giggle.

We finally know the Al Davis cause of death. The legendary owner of the Oakland Raiders died of heart related issues. Officially, the cause of death is said to be three things: ventricular fibrillation, congestive heart failure and cardiomyopathy.

Davis had been in failing health for a long while.

I know this is a bit of a stretch, what with the WC about 10 years away, but follow my train of thought on this one and see if you disagree.UEFA today announced that the 2012 Euros in Poland/Ukraine were going to be tobacco free."A tobacco-free EURO 2012 is about respecting the health of our spectators and everyone else involved in the tournament," said UEFA President Michel Platini.

Well it wasn't a classic that's for sure. These days it has become apparent to me that waking up at 4:30 Pacific Standard Time to watch my beloved Manchester United is the action of stupid man not interested in his health and sleeping pattern. Frankly, the past few years has taught me to expect a [..

Now that a result isn't necessary tonight, the lineup is a lot more in question. What we know is that Kasey Keller will start on a day celebrating he and the fans. We also know that Jeff Parke is out and Mauro Rosales will be in the 18. Considering that the Seattle Sounders really like winning in front of home crowds the thought here is that Sigi Schmid will be starting a close to Ideal XI, but that Rosales only gets a second half run.

When the Brotherly Game originally reported that Philadelphia Union midfielder Keon Daniel would not return to the team during the 2011, it was based upon information about his visa situation. Now it appears that Dengue Fever may end Daniel's season whether or not the 25-year-old gets back into the United States.

Lot of talk in the press over the last two days about Frank Lampard reportedly walking away from the bench when being an unused substitute in Saturday's 4-1 win over Swansea City.

Lampard has failed to make Andre Villas-Boas' starting line-up for three of the last four matches. But the game against Swansea was the first time he has not come off the bench.

Trust Valencia to waste no time in ruining my health in the first available 90 minutes. But sho, in hindsight it was worth it.

Where I come from, we use a word "bok" to describe when something is "very" or "extremely". Given my emotionally vulnerable state I'm going to be using that word a bok lot in this write-up.

Every time a semi popular Fire player gets cut, waived or traded there seemingly is someone who pops up and says something along the lines of "we treated this player poorly" or "he was underused!" (otherwise known as the Frankowski Axiom). The most recent case of this was career journeyman Bratislav Ristic.

Why transfer windows are bad for a manager's health

Transfer (trans-fur) verb: relocation; move and displacement. Window (win-doo) noun: opening; gap; opportunity and chance. For those in football, each transfer window can also be described as a trap door – an escape hatch or even a walk to the guillotine.

After initially indicating that Brian Mullan would travel with the Colorado Rapids for their match against the Seattle Sounders on Saturday, coach Gary Smith has apparently changed his mind and chosen to leave his midfielder back home. Mullan supposedly wanted to make that trip, but Smith indicated health was at least part of the decision:

"It's a purely personal feeling from my standpoint," Smith said.

Alive and Kicking is a registered charity that operates as a social enterprise.They manufactures footballs for children, with each ball having a health-related message printed on it to try and raise awareness about issues such as the spread of AIDs and malaria.

Alive & Kicking Kenya's 2011 road show visited four zones around the sugar town of Mumias in western Kenya.

When talking to players and coaches about their training they all tell me the same thing, "I want to work on speed so I can be quicker on the field". Their focus is on speed training but with no real understanding on what type of speed training they should do. Most of their training involves sprinting distances in a straight line.

Dirty Tackle shows Wayne Rooney singing karaoke on holiday (which comes with a health warning).

Surreal Football takes a dim view of our transfer policy.

The Daily Mail report on Cristiano Ronaldo's claims that he would never join City.

Danny Merritt from Peterborough is the winner of the Manchester United book which has newspaper clippings on United since 1909.

From the makers of the original Breakfast of Champions comes the latest hot video remix from DJ Steve Porter, the creator of the famous Allen Iverson-Steve Mora "Practice/Playoffs" Press Hop mash-up.

In the first TotalArsenal post for ‘ArsenalArsenal', I focussed on the position of our manager and came to the conclusion we should let him complete his mission to turn us once again into the top team we all crave for. In the second TotalArsenal post, I focussed on the positives within our, young and quickly developing squad and why there is plenty to be upbeat about for next season.

Recent conference alumni getting an early chance in the play offs has been a strong theme of recent years and Stevenage FC certainly don't seem to have tarried in their first season in the football league. But when we last featured the Hertfordshire club in advance of what proved to be a momentous win over Newcastle in the FA Cup in January, they were in far from rude health.

In this edition of Have You Seen This Goal? our good friend Kaka makes an appearance. Kaka has come under some criticism by Real Madrid supporters for his lack of goals since his big money transfer from AC Milan, however I believe his lack of form can be entirely attributed to his lack of health the majority of his tenure at Madrid.

Juan Agudelo is just 18 years old, and has one professional goal to his credit, but he has already shown enough to have foreign clubs keeping tabs on him.

According to Spanish publication Marca, Atletico Madrid is one of those clubs.

A key Atletico Madrid official attended the Philadelphia Union-New York Red Bulls match, but it should also be noted that the official is in the United States in search of new strategic alliances for the Spanish club.

By Jon Levy Our Jon Levy sat down this week with USMNT and Brondby center back Clarence Goodson, who recently returned to training after a month on the shelf with a broken toe that incidentally caused him to miss the two March friendlies. They talked about his health, the upcoming Gold Cup, the future of [.

Being a professional athlete entails many things. You run, lift weights, practice techniques, and run through plays in order to prepare for the game. The game takes 90 minutes or so. During that time, a player will run at least 7 miles and be "tackled" at least three times. With a nine month season, it's no wonder why so many players get hurt.

Eric Abidal's agent has revealed the Barcelona defender is progressing well after surgery to remove a tumour on his liver.

The 31-year old France international had surgery last week and his representative David Venditelli told COM Radio last night he is "recovering well", is in "good spirits" and awaiting the results of a biopsy to "see if everything is fine".

FC Barcelona has just released a statement to inform us that King Abidal, our Abidazzling defender, has been diagnosed with a liver tumour. He will undergo surgery on Friday and out of respect for his privacy, he wishes for no more details to be given out.

At the moment, I am too sad and worried to think about *this* means to our defence, but I'm sure than when I think about it, I'll be even more sad and worried.

Chivas USA continues to make deals. Today, they traded midfielder Sal Zizzo to the Portland Timbers in exchange for allocation money.

The 23-year old played in 10 games last season with Chivas while contributing one assist. He was acquired by Chivas USA in a weighted lottery after signing with MLS in July 2010.
