ARSENAL gave two first-team players some much-needed minutes in a 4-0 behind-closed-doors friendly defeat to QPR today.

SunSport understands Thomas Partey and Takehiro Tomiyasu were involved. Partey was credited with 60 minutes, while Tomiyasu played 45 minutes.

But Jurrien Timber did NOT playing as he continues his rehabilitation from ACL surgery.

The match took place at one of QPR’s training grounds and there were a lot of Arsenal U21s in attendance who had the chance to impress Mikel Arteta.

Arsenal had not played since beating Porto on March 12 to reach the quarter-finals of the Champions League, with their next meeting against Manchester City on March 31.

Partey made his official return from the bench on March 4 against Sheffield United, having been out for five months following thigh surgery in October.

Before that, the Ghanaian had only been on the field for half an hour since August.

Partey also played the final few minutes of Arsenal’s 2–1 win over Brentford on 9 March, as he returned to regular football.

Boss Arteta hopes Partey can play a big role with just 10 league games remaining in the Premier League and a Champions League quarter-final next month.

Tomiyasu has also struggled with injuries this season and has been dealing with a calf problem, meaning the Japan international is yet to play for Arsenal this calendar year.

But after signing a new two-year contract this week – with the option of a further 12 months – Tomiyasu was given game time against QPR.

The return of Tomiyasu gives Arteta plenty of options at the back and can rotate players like Oleksandr Zinchenko, Ben White and Jakub Kiwior if necessary.

However, Dutch full-back Timber – who was injured on the opening day of the Prem against Nottingham Forest in August – is not yet ready to participate in a match situation.

Timber has been involved in full training with the seniors in recent weeks and is building up to be able to perform again sometime next month.

However, Arteta won’t be taking any chances with a player he sees as crucial to his setup, and internally the club is very excited about what Timber can bring to the side next season when he is fully fit.

The late Queen’s former communications adviser has said the current speculation about the Princess of Wales is unlikely to subside until she is back in the public eye.

Speak with Radio 4’s Today programSimon Lewis, who became Queen Elizabeth’s first press secretary in 1998, said “visibility” is especially important when it comes to members of the royal family.

Lewis, who also worked as Gordon Brown’s official spokesman and now hosts the podcast ‘When it hits the fan’ with David Yelland, said his ‘hunch’ was that once Kate reappears in public life, ‘a lot of this will disappear’. away because the remarkable thing about the monarchy is the importance of this visibility.’

The former pressman added that no communications officer could deal with the current amount of online speculation about the Princess of Wales, including the flood of TikTok conspiracy theories.

He said the explosive claims that a staff member may have tried to access the princess’s medical records at the London Clinic, where she underwent abdominal surgery in January, is exactly why Kensington Palace was so keen to protect the royal family.

The princess was admitted to hospital on January 16 for abdominal surgery.

Details about Kate’s condition have not been released, but Kensington Palace previously said it was not cancer-related and that the princess wished her personal medical information to remain private.

Speaking about the possible attempt to access the royal family’s medical records, Lewis said: “We don’t know if it’s factually correct, but for me the more important point is that this is exactly why I thought the princess and the people around were like that around her. concerned about her privacy.

‘Going to hospital at the best of times is a very stressful experience, but to think there is the possibility of people actually gaining access to your data while you are there.’

He added: ‘No wonder this debate continues about members of the royal family and public figures because that is the key point – there is a line as far as I’m concerned where privacy should be absolutely sacrosanct.’

The late monarch’s former adviser said Kensington Palace’s statement in January was “factually accurate – they said the princess would not be in the public eye until Easter.”

He outlined that while King Charles had a responsibility as sovereign to be more transparent on health issues, the Princess of Wales ‘has different demands’.

Lewis added that he expected Kate Middleton to cautiously return to the public eye in the coming weeks.

He said: ‘Kensington Palace is now considering a way to slowly reintroduce the Princess to public life.

‘There will be appointments, there will be opportunities for her to be seen.

“If she can slowly return to public life in the way that seems planned, I suspect a very different change in public attitudes. [There has been] Huge support for her among the British people.’

This afternoon, bosses at the prestigious hospital announced they have launched an urgent investigation into claims that Kate’s medical records had been accessed.

London Clinic CEO Al Russell finally broke his silence this afternoon, saying in a statement: ‘Everyone at the London Clinic is acutely aware of our individual, professional, ethical and legal duties regarding patient confidentiality. ‘

‘We are extremely proud of the excellent care and discretion we want to provide to all our patients who put their trust in us every day.

‘We have systems in place to monitor the management of patient information and in the event of a breach, all appropriate investigative, regulatory and disciplinary steps will be taken.

“There is no place in our hospital for those who deliberately betray the trust of our patients or colleagues.”

The princess is said to be aware of the allegations, with a Kensington Palace spokesperson saying: ‘This is a matter for the London Clinic.’

The Princess of Wales was reportedly spotted looking ‘happy, healthy and relaxed’ on a visit to a local farm shop over the weekend, marking the first time she has been seen out and about since undergoing planned abdominal surgery.

Kate and William were reportedly seen at one of their favourite spots, around a mile from their Adelaide Cottage, in Windsor on Saturday after having watched their three children – George, 10, Charlotte, eight, and Louis, five – take part in sports.

The sighting at The Windsor Farm Shop will provide a much needed boost to the British public who have been growing more concerned about the Princess’ health in the midst of a tsunami of speculation over her unknown condition.

A witness who saw the couple told The Sun last night: ‘After all the rumours that had been going round I was stunned to see them there. Kate was out shopping with William and she looked happy and she looked well.

‘The kids weren’t with them but it’s such a good sign she was healthy enough to pop down to the shops.’

While no pictures were taken of the couple – adhering to their request for privacy as Kate recovers – their alleged appearance is an encouraging sign that she is taking her first steps towards a return to official royal engagements. 

The Princess, who made her last public engagement at Sandringham on Christmas Day, is expected to return to public duty after April 17, when her children start back at Lambrook School, near Ascot, following the Easter Holidays.

Yet there is suggestion that Kate could now make an earlier return and may even be seen walking into the annual Easter Matins service at St George’s Chapel on the Windsor estate. 

According to the Telegraph the Princess has not ruled out making a return to the public eye on Easter Sunday and could join her family for the traditional walk about, which would be photographed. 

A palace source told the paper there had been ‘no confirmation either way’ adding that anything else was speculation.

The reports of an early return and her Windsor sighting come just a few days after the Princess was pictured in the back of a car alongside Prince William as they left Windsor Castle last Monday. 

The Prince of Wales was on his way to Westminster Abbey for the annual Commonwealth Day service while MailOnline understands Kate was headed to a ‘private appointment’.  

In recent weeks wild rumours – fuelled by social media and the foreign press – have speculated over the reason why Kate has not been seen, despite the Kensington Palace’s laying out her recovery timeline.

‘Katespiracies’ online have ranged from claims she was recovering from a ‘Brazilian bum lift’ or in a coma, a theory sparked by a journalist on Spanish television. 

Some joked she was a contestant on The Masked Singer television show – or may have even been bumped from the Royal Family.

Other trolls and conspiracy theorists have used her absence and the lawlessness of social media to spread deeply sinister and highly libellous claims. Even Kim Kardashian has wade in posting selfies captured: ‘On my way to go find Kate.’

The absurd claims only intensified when the Princess took the blame for the family photograph released by Kensington Palace on Mother’s Day, which was ‘killed’ by six of the world’s top picture agencies over concern that it had been ‘manipulated’.

It came after it was pointed out that part of Princess Charlotte‘s sleeve and the misaligned edge of her skirt were missing, with other speculation including the positioning of Kate’s zip. 

In addition to the numerous imperfections in the image, viewers also spotted that Kate appeared to not be wearing her wedding ring, which sparked multiple unfounded theories online about the state of her marriage. 

The furor on social media led the Princess to make a personal apology on X, writing ‘Like many amateur photographers, I do occasionally experiment with editing.’ 

It is understood that Kate had only intended to ‘bring a bit of joy’ and release a reassuring image to thank the public for their ongoing support, and that she and William are both ‘shaken and devastated’ at the speculation about their marriage. 

William is said to have taken the picture in a 40-minute window on a £2,900 Canon camera on Friday before the Princess edited it twice in Photoshop to ‘make it the best it can be’. 

Despite calls for the original image to be published, Kensington Palace insisted it would not be reissuing the unedited photograph of Kate and her children. 

One insider said: ‘I worry about all this attention on Catherine. She did not look happy at all in the car on Monday.’

Over the weekend, a source close to the Wales’ said that the couple will disclose more information about Kate’s illness and recovery in due course. 

‘In Kate’s case, there is almost nobody else in the world whose face, body, clothes are more judged than hers,’ the insider told The Sunday Times. 

‘What is happening is exactly what they said would happen — she would spend two weeks in hospital and be back after Easter. So what if they haven’t pushed her out there to wave from the back of a car? She is not a show pony.’  

A friend said the Waleses are fully aware about the circulating rumours but claimed: ‘They’re not like [Prince] Harry, obsessing and scrolling through Twitter, but they know it has broken through. 

‘They follow the news and see the BBC breaking news alerts.’

The insider added that the speculation around the couple’s marriage is ‘just cruel’, especially while William, Kate and their children are ‘going through the hardest time they’ve had to go through as a family’.

Kate was admitted to the London Clinic – the private hospital where the King underwent treatment for an enlarged prostate – for planned abdominal surgery.

She left the hospital on January 29 – almost two weeks later – and returned to Adelaide Cottage in Windsor.

Speculation grew online as she recuperated in Windsor which was only stoked further when William pulled out of a memorial service for his late godfather, King Constantine of Greece, for an unexplained ‘personal matter’. 

The Ministry of Defence also came under fire after it suggested that Kate would be attending the Trooping the Colour event in June before her appearance was quickly stripped from the Army’s official website.  

Details of her condition have not been revealed but Kensington Palace previously said it was not cancer-related and that the Princess wished her personal medical information to remain private.

Another friend said: ‘She and William are at their most open when out interacting with the public. I can see a world in which the Princess might discuss her recovery out on engagements.

‘If she was going to do it, that’s how she would do it. They appreciate the public’s love and affection for their children and know there is a public appetite to see them on their birthdays.’

Kensington Palace has maintained that Kate is ‘doing well’ and will only provide significant updates.

The couple are refusing to publish any details until they feel ready, with a friend adding: ‘They will want to be clear and more open, but they’ll do it when they feel ready. 

‘I would expect that to be her instinct and it will be her call. They are not going to be rushed.’ 

Sources told the Mail that that there is no pressure or hurry on her to do so and her focus remains on ‘what is important’ – her recovery and her three children. 

Despite this tumultuous few weeks for the Royal Family, it is expected that William and Kate will still uphold the tradition of releasing a new photograph to mark their children’s birthdays, the next being Prince Louis on April 23.

‘They appreciate the public’s love and affection for their children and know there is a public appetite to see them on their birthdays,’ an aide told the Times.

While there has been no official confirmation that Kate will be well enough to attend Trooping the Colour in June, the King, who is suffering from cancer, is determined to attend his official birthday celebrations.

The Mail revealed last night that aides are already exploring ways that Charles will be able to part within the constraints of his ongoing cancer treatment. 

This could include watching the military spectacular from a podium, instead on horseback as usual, and being driven to Buckingham Palace, like his late mother did.

A firm decision will be made at the time and will be dependent on medical advice. The event will take place on June 15 and the Mail understands the planning is a source for optimism. 

‘There are a number of key events His Majesty would love to attend coming up in the diary and this is at the top of the list,’ a source said. 

GARETH SOUTHGATE has not ruled out a possible return to England for Mason Greenwood after this summer’s European Championship.

A police investigation into the Manchester United striker was launched in January 2022.

Charges of attempted rape, assault, controlling and coercive behavior were later dropped.

Greenwood – whose only cap came in 2020 – has rebuilt his career on loan in Spain.

And asked about the international situation for Greenwood, Three Lions chief Southgate said: “I don’t think this is a pre-Euro thing.

“It seems to have been a good move that he was able to restart his career abroad. But I haven’t followed it closely.

“Right now it would be a big distraction for the team – let’s see where that leads next season.

“I would have to know more details about the whole thing before it was an option.”

Greenwood, 22, was loaned out to Getafe last August. He has eight goals and five assists in 26 appearances for LaLiga.

It remains to be seen whether United will permanently sell Greenwood this summer, with a number of Spanish teams interested.

New United owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe said last month: “We will make a decision. I don’t know if he (Greenwood) could have a future.

“All I can do is talk about the principle of how we will approach such decisions.

“Is he the right type of footballer? Are we happy with that? Is he a good person or not?

“He (Greenwood) is a Manchester United footballer and we are responsible for the football.

“So the answer is that it’s pretty clear that we have to make a decision.

“No decision has been made. He is of course on loan, but he is not the only one.

“We have one or two footballers that we have to deal with and make a decision on, so we will do that.

“The process will be: understand the facts, not the hype and then try to come to a fair decision based on values ​​– which basically comes down to whether he is a good guy or not.

“Could he play well for Manchester United and would we feel comfortable with that and the fans would feel comfortable with that?

“I can talk about the principle. This principle is the most important because we will have to deal with other issues in the future.

“You are dealing with young people who have not always been raised in the best circumstances, who have a lot of money and do not always receive the guidance they should receive.

“What we need to do when dealing with these kinds of problems is to understand the real effects, not the hype.

“Then we have to make a fair decision in the light of the club’s values. That’s what we have to do and that’s how we deal with it.”

MANCHESTER UNITED are ready for an almost £40million hit on Jadon Sancho.

The player refuses to return unless boss Erik ten Hag is fired.

1

The winger, who was signed from Borussia Dortmund for £73 million in 2021, has been loaned back to the German team after his spectacular failure at ETH.

And SunSport understands Dortmund are willing to offer £35million to make the deal permanent this summer.

United’s leaders have given up on any reconciliation between Ten Hag and Sancho.

The 23-year-old essentially called Dutchman Ten Hag a liar after the Old Trafford manager said he had not performed well in training.

Sancho refused to apologize and was forced to train with the academy players before moving to Dortmund in January where he began to regain his form.

United’s new co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe has given Ten Hag no guarantee he will be in charge next season and the club are keeping a close eye on Sancho’s performances in Germany.

Sancho was included in the Dortmund squad after his loan spell in January due to a lack of fitness following his spell in United exile.

He has played eight Bundesliga games for BVB so far, two of which came from the bench.

During those eight appearances he managed to score one goal and two assists.

In a standout performance last night in the Champions League last 16 with PSV, he scored the opener as Dortmund reached the quarter-finals.

That will see not only Dortmund, but other clubs in Europe take a chance on the winger as he tries to return to his best form.

CONOR McGREGOR has opened up about the “lack of transparency” surrounding his return fight with the UFC.

McGregor has been out since July 2021 when he brutally broke his leg in the first round against Dustin Poirier.

But the Irishman, who has made a full recovery, has begged the UFC to get his comeback signed and sealed.

He remains ready to face American Michael Chandler, 37, but talks continue to drag on.

McGregor, 34, said: “We will still have discussions in the first quarter of this year, it’s a bit of a lack of transparency, a bit of long finger.

“I still have two fights left on my contract, I don’t think we both know what the transfer will be.

“I just want to get a little more consistency in my training. Am I flat now? No. But I am.

“I had a schedule planned for the beginning of this year, I had a schedule planned for January and I had a schedule planned for December even before that.

“I had set up camps, I had a camp in Cannes in the south of France. I also had a camp in Dubai, with some world champions with me.

“I set up a strong camp and I was well prepared for it. And then you get a lack of transparency. It’s like you’re just being strung along.”

McGregor is promoting the release of his film debut, starring alongside Hollywood superstar Jake Gyllenhaal in a Roadhouse reboot.

And once his film commitments and St. Patrick’s Day celebrations are over, McGregor will aim for a June 29 return.

He said, “Then I start to lose interest myself, so I get caught up in other things that are going on, like this and that.

“I hope I can get this done, just a few more days and the film will be released in another ten days or a week.

“So once that’s done, my job is done and then I’ve got Paddy’s festivities with Forged Irish Stout and the Proper 12 to deal with.

“Once that happens, I’ll be locked up. I’m still in shape, I’m still training, like I said, I’ve had camps in the off time, so if they just give me a date I’d love to go on I want to go June 29 and that will be a goal for me.”

JOSE MOURINHO is reportedly set for a stunning return to management.

This follows Italian reports linking him with a move to Fenerbache.

Mourinho has been without a job since January when he was fired as coach of AS Roma.

According to Calcio MercatoFenerbache hopes that the presence of former Serie A stars Edin Dzeko and Leonardo Bonucci in their squad will help convince the coach to come to Turkey.

The move would also bring him into contact with Fred, whom he managed as coach of Manchester United.

Speaking at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix this month, Mourinho said he was ready to return to work but was wary of making the “wrong decision”.

There are calls for a return to the Premier League, with Mou linked with jobs at Newcastle, Manchester United and Chelsea.

He also said he has rejected interest from Saudi clubs despite offers of lucrative contracts.

Fenerbache has been impressive this season and is locked in a title race with fierce rivals Galatasaray from Istanbul.

They are currently two points behind the leaders with the competition likely to go down to the wire.

Calcio Mercato reports that the Turkish club will be ruthless if they lose the title this season.

And they see Mourinho as the final piece in the puzzle to get them over the line.

However, whether Mourinho sees the Turkish league as glamorous enough to succeed in it remains to be seen.

It would take a huge offer to convince Mourinho to join Istanbul – and any offer of a handsome salary could easily be passed over by Saudi Arabia.
