Nico de Boinville healing ‘very well', says Henderson
Henderson was able to offer a positive update, with a September return on the cards.
'I'm pleased to report that Nico is recovering very well and has just started the process of rehabilitation, whereby he's free of all neck braces and things like that, so is now able to fully begin his route to getting back in the saddle,' the Seven Barrows handler told Unibet.
'He can now go full-on fitness-wise, and if all goes well, which it should, he'll be back on a horse in a few weeks.
'He hasn't set a date for his return, because there is obviously no need to rush back for anything, but he's hoping to be ready at some stage in September, which is all very good news.'

Brewers can earn fans free George Webb burgers with win Tuesday
For now, we're talking about a hunger of another sort. On Tuesday night, the Brewers can trigger one of the more unique promotions in sports. Free burgers! The Brewers have won 11 consecutive games after defeating the Seattle Mariners, 6-0, on Monday, July 29. With a win in Tuesday night's game, the Brewers will hit a milestone (at least in Milwaukee) 12-game winning streak and earn local fans free hamburgers from George Webb, a local restaurant chain. The restaurant's namesake, George Webb, was an avid baseball fan and the genesis of the 12-game winning streak promotion dates back to the minor league Milwaukee Brewers and through the brief tenure of the Milwaukee Braves. However, it's been the current incarnation of the Brewers who have fed fans with free burgers. How many times has George Webb given out free burgers after the Brewers won 12 straight games? Two times. The most recent was in 2018, when the Brewers won the final seven games of the regular season, prevailed in the one-game NL Central tiebreaker against the rival Chicago Cubs, swept the Colorado Rockies in three games in the division series and then won Game 1 of the NLCS against the Los Angeles Dodgers. The most famous instance of the Brewers prompting George Webb's 12-game win streak promotion was in 1987. "Team Streak" - as that season's Brewers were called - won the first 13 games of the season. That run included one of the most iconic moments in franchise history, an epic come-from-behind win against the Texas Rangers on Easter Sunday at County Stadium. That was win No. 12, and a dramatic way to earn Milwaukee fans free hamburgers. The next night, the Brewers defeated the Chicago White Sox at Comiskey Park for their 13th straight win to start a season, which remains tied for the longest such win streak in baseball's modern era. Three days after the Brewers won their 12th straight in 1987, George Webb restaurants handed out almost 168,194 free hamburgers, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, part of the USA TODAY Network. How have the Brewers gotten to this point? Impressively, the Brewers' 11-game win streak includes six wins against the defending World Series champion Dodgers. It opened with a road win against the Miami Marlins on Sunday, July 6, then proceeded with sweeps at home against the Dodgers and Washington Nationals before the All-Star break. The Brewers opened the season's second half with a sweep of the Dodgers in Los Angeles and then won Monday night's series opener against the Mariners at T-Mobile Park. With their current streak of victories, the Brewers have leapfrogged the Cubs atop the NL Central and finished play Monday night with the best record in Major League Baseball. Not too shabby for a team just two of six USA TODAY Sports experts predicted would make the playoffs. Who's pitching for the Brewers on Tuesday night? Glad you asked. It's rookie flamethrower Jacob Misiorowski, who was a controversial selection for the All-Star Game after making just five big-league starts. Countering "The Miz" on the mound for the Mariners will be right-hander Logan Gilbert. The game starts at 9:40 p.m. ET and will be televised by the MLB Network.

Man Utd may have identified long term Andre Onana replacement for NOTHING as he follows two England stars footsteps
FOR KEEPS Man Utd may have identified long term Andre Onana replacement for NOTHING as he follows two England stars footsteps MANCHESTER UNITED teenage goalkeeper Elyh Harrison is following in the footsteps of Dean Henderson after joining Shrewsbury Town on loan. After showing plenty of potential at youth level, United have now decided the next step in Harrison's development is for him to get regular game time in the EFL for the first time. 4 Manchester United goalkeeper Elyh Harrison has joined Shrewbury Town Credit: Getty Henderson ground his way through four EFL clubs before finally securing a Premier League starting spot at Crystal Palace - where he won the FA Cup last season. And an England call-up quickly came too, with many United fans wishing Henderson wasn't let go in the same summer that Andre Onana joined. United had loaned Henderson out to Stockport Grimsby, Shrewsbury, Sheffield United and Nottingham Forest, with David de Gea the permanent No.1 between the sticks. But he was sold to Palace for £20million at the end of the summer 2023 window, with then manager Erik ten Hag securing Onana for £47million from Inter Milan. READ MORE MAN UTD NEWS OFF THE MARC Rashford BANNED from playing for Barcelona initially amid registration issues But Onana has fallen short of expectations, with Harrison, the next big thing in United's goalkeeping ranks, walking in the path Henderson laid out. Harrison, who joined United's academy from Stevenage in 2022, spent the first half of last season on loan at non-league outfit Chester, keeping seven clean sheets in 18 appearances. He was due to spend the duration of the 2024/25 term at the National League North outfit, but United recalled him in January to train with the first-team and feature for the academy. The 19-year-old was named on the bench eight times by boss Ruben Amorim after being recalled. 4 Dean Henderson spent the 2017-2018 on loan at Shrewsbury Town from Man Utd Credit: Reuters 4 Andre Onana's spot is under threat Credit: Getty Join SUN CLUB for the Man Utd Files every Thursday plus in-depth coverage and exclusives from Old Trafford He has featured for the Red Devils' under-21 side but is yet to make a first-team appearance for the Premier League club. Shrewsbury director of football Micky Moore says the England Under-20 international has a "bright future" after monitoring his progress last season. Man Utd hunting Jackson as Chelsea's demands revealed | Transfers Exposed Moore said: "I'm really excited that we've signed Elyh. He's someone we've targeted since last season ended and I think he's got a bright future. "We watched him play at Chester last year and continued to watch him when he went back to play for United's Under-21s. "We think he's got all the right characteristics and that this could be a very good loan for him. "Michael [Appleton] wanted to get him in the building as soon as possible, so I'm really happy to get it over the line because it was a tough process due to the amount of interest in the player." Meanwhile, the first team were reportedly "rebuffed immediately" in their attempts to sign Aston Villa's No.1 Emi Martinez this week. United have also been linked with young Belgian goalkeeper Senne Lammens, 23, from Antwerp, who is valued at around £17million. Amorim has been eyeing a replacement for Onana even before the Cameroonian stopper suffered an hamstring injury in pre-season. Lammens ended the season with an eye-catching 173 saves, which works out to 4.3 saves per match and a solid 78 per cent save rate.

Darts star who struggled at World Matchplay shows true colours with Luke Littler admission
John Henderson only won one match at the World Matchplay in his career, but the Scotsman has hailed the event as one of his favourite PDC tournaments and heaped praise on Luke Littler John Henderson has praised the World Matchplay as one of his top PDC tournaments, though he conceded that the event's iconic venue could have benefited from improved air con. The World Cup-winning Scot appeared on the Winter Gardens stage five times from 2011 to 2019, and despite only securing a single victory against 2005 champion Colin Lloyd, he regards the tournament as 'fantastic.' Current world champion Luke Littler is set to compete in Blackpool with high expectations of adding to his impressive list of achievements. Despite a disappointing first-round exit in his Matchplay debut, Aberdeen's Henderson believes Littler will enter the fray with a fearless attitude. "I always found the Matchplay... I think Winter Gardens was probably one of the best venues, but I struggled because of the heat," Henderson, who is regularly seen competing in the MODUS Super Series broadcast live on Pluto TV, told the Express. "I mean, Blackpool in the middle of July, and the Winter Gardens was, it was like an oven and absolutely roasting. I've lost a lot of weight since the last time, so I might have handled it better now, but then I used to sweat a lot and struggled with the heat. "The tournament itself was fantastic, it really was. My record's not great. I think I only won one game there against Lloydy. I always mention it when the Matchplay comes around. World Matchplay Darts 2025 preview ON SALE NOW Warm up for the World Matchplay darts at the famous Winter Gardens with our 48-page preview publication, which is available to order now The height of summer, darts, Blackpool. It can only mean one thing - the World Matchplay at the famous Winter Gardens. You can get ready for one of the highlights of the darting year with our special preview publication. "But no, even though I only won once, it was one of my favourite tournaments. It was great, the crowd were magic, they were so close to the stage, everybody's out there. There are a lot of folk on holiday, plus there were a lot of Scots who used to come down to support the boys, so it was good. "Luke will go up there with no fear like he normally does. Just another game of darts, and that's the way he looks at it, another game of darts. His attitude's fantastic, he's got a great attitude towards the game." When questioned about the influence The Nuke has had on darts since bursting onto the scene, Henderson was eager to praise the teenager and admitted he's relieved his own time amongst the PDC elite is nearly finished. "There's only one word to describe him - he's just a beast," Henderson continued. "He's just phenomenal. Obviously, [a player like] Luke is only coming along every so often, but it really has progressed as the younger generation coming through, I think everybody's buying dartboards now, there's academies up and down the country now. "Luke has certainly put his mark on the sport, there's no question about that. I don't know how much practice he does at home, but he doesn't seem to practice too much when he gets to the venue, and he goes and does what he does on a stage. He's obviously been born with a talent, and it's amazing what he's done, and he has made the sport even bigger. "Phil [Taylor] took it to a level I thought darts could never go to, and then obviously, Michael van Gerwen, Gary Anderson and Peter Wright have come on, brought it to another level. "I think Luke's actually surpassed that again and brought it to another level. You just wonder where it's going to peak, and there are more and more youngsters, they're starting at six, seven, eight years old. "By the time they get to 12, 13, you never know, there's probably loads and loads of Luke Littlers out there. I'm kind of happy that I'm coming to the end of my career now, when you see the standard!"
