Paul Gascoigne ‘back home and doing well' after hospital visit, representative says
'Paul voluntarily went into A&E on Friday after struggling with a throat condition he has had for a while,' Carly Saward at The MNT talent agency told The Associated Press in an email. 'He is already back home and doing well.'
British newspaper The Sun reported that the 58-year-old Gascoigne had been found 'semi-conscious' at home by a friend on Friday in Poole in south England and initially been admitted to an intensive care unit.
Gascoigne helped lead England to the semifinals at the 1990 World Cup and 1996 European Championship and was widely considered one of the most naturally talented players of his generation.
But he has battled alcohol addiction for decades and has also had other health problems in recent years.

Liverpool to create permanent memorial sculpture at Anfield to honor Diogo Jota
Associated Press LIVERPOOL, England (AP) — Liverpool will have a permanent memorial sculpture at its Anfield stadium to honor Diogo Jota, who died in a car crash earlier this month, the English club said Saturday. The Premier League champion said that recyclable material from 'thousands of physical tributes, including flowers, works of art, cards, banners and opposition jerseys' left by fans at a spontaneous tribute site for the Liverpool player will be used to make the sculpture. Jota and his brother Andre Silva died when they crashed while driving in northwestern Spain on July 3. Liverpool fans honored their passing by leaving flowers and other objects outside Anfield. The club said that the floral arrangements left for Jota would be composted and used in flower beds at club properties, including its stadium. Liverpool had already said that it is retiring Jota's No. 20 jersey number. ___ AP soccer:

Deion Sanders to hold press conference with Colorado medical team amid mysterious health battle
Deion Sanders provided a brief, positive health update Friday, and it seems the full reveal of his medical battle that has had him laying low this offseason is coming soon. Sanders tweeted 'Back and Feeling Great!' on X on Friday morning with his third season as Colorado's coach nearing, and will hold a press conference Monday with his medical team, which features staffers from CU Anschutz and UC Health, to 'provide general and team updates,' the school said in a release. The 57-year-old Sanders has not offered many details about the mysterious illness that has kept the camera friendly coach out of the spotlight this offseason.

AP He missed part of the Buffaloes' spring and summer workouts due to the health issue, per ESPN, and also did not attend contract-stipulated summer football camps. Sanders told former NFL star cornerback Asante Samuel in May that 'what I'm dealing with right now is at a whole other level.' Advertisement The NFL Hall of Famer has battled various health scares in recent years, including having two toes amputated in 2021 and 2023 surgery for blood clots in his left leg. Sanders got a little testy at Big 12 media day earlier this month when pressed about the issue, although he downplayed any concern to ESPN. 4 Deion Sanders during Colorado's spring game in April. AP 'I'm already back,' Sanders told ESPN on July 9 at Big 12 media day. 'I'm here today. I'm handling my responsibilities. So I look forward to it. I can't wait. You've got to understand, some of the young (players) I haven't even met yet. I'm so excited about that.'

IMAGN IMAGES via Reuters Connect He said in a YouTube video posted July 20 by his oldest son, Deion Jr.. that, 'You know I'm still going through something' and 'I ain't all the way recovered.' Deion Jr. then referenced a 'battle that was fought and won' at the compound in his last YouTube video posted July 23.

AP 'I'm kind of sad, I'm not gonna lie to you,' Deion Jr. said of leaving the compound. 'I learned to really actually love this place. … It's not even just about being here. It was like the battle that was fought here. The battle that was fought and won here. That's like the main important thing. Boys didn't left the house for two months. 'It's a blessing. He's gonna tell y'all whatever he went through very soon, and I've got a lot of it recorded on video. So, you'll be able to see what he went through.' Sanders faces perhaps his toughest coaching challenge this upcoming season since becoming Colorado's coach prior to the 2023 season. He will no longer have reigning Heisman winner and two-way phenom Travis Hunter, the No. 2 pick in the draft, or quarterback son Shedeur Sanders, who fell to the fifth round.
