Raheem Sterling says diet change affected his Chelsea debut

Raheem Sterling says diet change affected his Chelsea debut

Raheem Sterling has revealed that a change in diet and subsequent weight gain was behind his troubled debut campaign at Chelsea in which he struggled with repeated injuries. The forward made 38 appearances in all competitions for Chelsea after joining from Manchester City in a £47.5 million ($61.1m) move last July. He suffered persistent hamstring problems and missed England’s final two squads of the season.

Sterling originally attempted to correct the muscle niggles and increase energy levels during last season by adjusting his diet, but after feeling too heavy he hired a nutritionist to help. Speaking ahead of the Blues’ pre-season clash against Brighton in Philadelphia today, July 22, Sterling said he now feels better than ever after trimming down.

Last season I changed a bit of my diet and went to do something a little bit different that I had not done before, and I had a little more kilograms on me that I have not had before. “I think probably carrying a little bit of extra weight, I had a few hamstring problems and that was it. Towards the end of the season the hamstring was playing up again. “Me and [Southgate] made a decision together that the best thing for me to do was to get the hamstring right.” When asked specifically about the diet change, Sterling added: “Just eating a little bit less.”

Source: Getty It’s not clear what the nature of the knock is or how long it could keep Keita sidelined. This is coming after promising to “play every week” for his new club Werder Bremen. The Guinean footballer had said on Friday, July 14; “I think having only one game a week will help me. The workload isn’t as high here as in England. Hopefully I can play to my best every week and help us be successful.” Werder Bremen eventually secured a 3-1 win in today’s match, thanks to goals from Justin Njinmah, Dawid Kownacki, and Jean-Manuel Mbom. While he was part of Jurgen Klopp’s squad that won the Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup, Carabao Cup, Club World Cup, Super Cup, and Community Shield, Keita’s time on Merseyside will be remembered for the many absences he had with injury.

Along with James Milner, Roberto Firmino, and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Keita’s departure from Liverpool was announced in May upon the expiration of his contract. His free transfer to Werder Bremen was confirmed in June. Liverpool struck a deal to sign Keita from RB Leipzig in August 2017 in a £48 million deal but the Guinea international spent the 2017/18 season with the German outfit before making his debut for Liverpool in August 2018. Keita represented Leipzig for two years having joined them from Austrian side RB Salzburg. He has 54 caps for the Guinea national team.

"Banky W has assured me I’ll receive royalties For Wizkid's debut album"

 

Music producer, Samuel Oguachuba a.k.a Samklef, has revealed that Banky W assured him on Saturday that he will be receiving his royalties for Wizkid’s debut album.
This came hours after the producer called out Banky W for ripping him off his royalties for his contribution to Wizkid’s debut album 11 years ago.

Noting that he’d receive “performance royalty” and “mechanical royalty” from Banky W, Samklef stated that the EME record label boas messaged him with a promise that he will get all his entitlements.

Giving an update on the issue via Instagram, Samklef wrote in Pidgin, “Banky don message me and he assure my say nobody don claim my money. Road to collecting my royalties. Mechanical royalty, performance royalty.

“It’s strictly business now. Zero emotions. And for those of u crying on my timeline. E Pele o! Lol.”
Prior to the update, he had threatened to involve his lawyers in the case, while also claiming that Banky W, whose real name is Bankole Wellington, told Wizkid to remove his (Samklef) name as a contributor from a song he produced.
His early Saturday Tweet read: “Claiming all my 11 years royalties for Wizkid’s Superstar album in a bit. My Lawyers will reach out. It’s 50/50.
