Daryl Dike hurts thigh, latest setback for American forward on West Brom
The team said Friday that Dike was hurt in practice and will resume training after the international break in early September.
Dike ruptured right Achilles tendon against Stoke on April 15, 2023, and returned on Jan. 7, 2024, when he played the first half in an FA Cup match against Aldershot. He tore his left Achilles against Ipswich that Feb. 10, just five games after coming back.
Dike returned last Feb. 15 against Millwall in the first of 10 substitute appearances and started the season finale against Luton on May 3.
Dike joined West Brom from Major League Soccer's Orlando in January 2022.
He sustained a season-ending hamstring injury in his first start, against Peterborough on Jan. 22, 2022, and tore a thigh muscle in the 2022-23 opener against Stoke on July 30, 2022. He returned that Nov. 12 in West Brom's last game before the World Cup break, then tore his right Achilles tendon the following spring.
Dike has three goals in 10 appearances for the U.S.

Create Account It was an emotional win for Young, whose seven career runner-up finishes included the 2022 British Open at St. Andrews. He started the day with a five-stroke lead and after an opening bogey reeled off five straight birdies — a run that included a 26-foot bomb at the third hole. A pair of bogeys at 16 and 17 were immaterial and Young tapped in for a par at the 18th to cap a two-under par 68 that gave him a 22-under total of 258. 'I've been waiting for it for awhile,' Young said. 'I never thought I'd really be that emotional about it, but it's the end of my fourth season and I've had my chances. Never quite like this — and I wasn't going to let it get away from me today.' The win at Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro, North Carolina, had a little extra resonance for Young, who played college golf at North Carolina's Wake Forest University.

He was also hoping the win might catch the eye of US Ryder Cup captain Keegan Bradley with the biennial match play showdown with Europe coming up in September. 'Obviously that team is a goal of many of us,' the world number 44 said. Fellow American Meissner had five birdies in his four-under 66 to take second on 16-under 264. Sweden's Alex Noren and American Mark Hubbard shared third on 265 while US amateur Jackson Koivun shared fifth place with American Chris Kirk and England's Aaron Rai. Sunday's round marked the end of the PGA regular-season with the top 70 on the points list advancing to the playoffs which start next week at the St. Jude Championship. Of the players hoping to play their way in this week, Kirk's finish was enough to move him up from 73rd in the standings to 61st. Columnists Toronto Blue Jays Sex Files Homes Ontario

‘Greatest swimmer of all time': Toronto swimmers cheer on Summer McIntosh after win
With four world championship gold medals and a single bronze draped around her neck, Summer McIntosh is doing more than just winning on an international level — she is inspiring young swimmers in her hometown as well. On Sunday, McIntosh marked the end of her journey at the World Aquatics championships in Singapore with her fourth gold medal, winning the women's 400-metre individual medley in about four minutes and 25 seconds. As McIntosh topped the podium, fellow young swimmers at Lakeshore Swim Club in Etobicoke, Ont., a Toronto neighbourhood west of downtown, cheered on. Club president Tara Smith said they reminisced about McIntosh swimming for the club in her early years. 'A number of her records still stand in our record books and so our swimmers see it every day when they go into practice,' said Smith. Sunday's win marked McIntosh's fifth overall medal at the championships, joining her gold in the 200 butterfly, 200 medley and 400 freestyle and bronze in the 800 freestyle. Her lasting impact on the Etobicoke swim club is seen at its training facility at the Gus Ryder Pool and Health Club. A plaque for the club's grassroots development program, of which McIntosh was a part, greets visitors. 'We're really proud of her,' said Smith. 'I know she has really big expectations of herself, but she does a fantastic job representing our country and representing herself.' McIntosh now has 13 career medals at the world championships — the most of any Canadian — including eight gold. After last year's Olympics, Smith said the overall interest in the club's pre-competitive program increased — something she attributes to McIntosh. She said McIntosh creates a lot of excitement in the sport and inspires the kids at the swim club. On social media, McIntosh supports her old club by interacting with swimmers' posts. 'It's very exciting for the kids to see that, whether it's just comments or a heart,' Smith said. Swimmers from Toronto Swim Club delayed their Saturday morning workouts and gathered around a screen at the University of Toronto to watch McIntosh's 800-metre freestyle showdown with American Katie Ledecky. Though McIntosh came up third in a tight race behind Ledecky and Australia's Lani Pallister, swimmers were just as excited to watch her compete and take home another medal, said the club's national head coach Bill O'Toole. 'It's just so inspiring to see a Canadian take on the world like that,' said O'Toole. 'In my opinion, she will be the greatest swimmer of all time.' O'Toole said many in his club have cheered on McIntosh. Some know her personally, he said, and want to see her achieve success. 'Everyone's just really excited and inspired by watching her swim,' said O'Toole. He added some of the younger athletes will tap into their newfound motivation as they compete at the Canada Games and World Aquatics Junior Swimming Championships this month. 'The sky's the limit and that a Canadian is as good as anybody else in the world,' he said. 'It's not just about winning; it's about breaking barriers.'
