Sydney, Nov 26 : Australian off-spinner Jason Krejza, who made an impressive debut against India earlier this month by taking 12 wickets, is doubtful to play in the second Test against New Zealand starting Friday, after injuring his right ankle during training session at Adelaide Oval.

Krejza was expected to be included into the side after being overlooked for last week’s first Test at Gabba.

Adelaide, Nov 26 : An investigation carried out by Cricket Australia (CA) into a drunken brawl, involving all-rounder Andrew Symonds last weekend, has reportedly cleared him. He will now be able to play in the second Test against New Zealand at the Adelaide Oval starting Friday.

After being cleared, Symonds apologised to his teammates, but maintained that he was not at fault.

London - Arsenal defender William Gallas will not leave the club in January, according to quotes attributed to his agent Etienne Mendy in French paper Aujourd'hui Sport on Tuesday.

Gallas's position has been in doubt since his attack last weekend on what he named a lack of respect and professionalism shown by some of his team-mates in Arsenal's recent poor run of form.

As a result, he is no longer team captain as manager Arsene Wenger appointed Spain midfielder Cesc Fabregas new skipper.

London - Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson moved on Tuesday to play down reports linking forward Carlos Tevez with a move to Real Madrid.

The Argentina international has seen his first-team opportunities at the Premier league champions limited this season by the arrival of Dimitar Berbatov, and has been linked with a number of clubs.

Ferguson, though, was adamant he would not be selling, and especially not to Real Madrid, whose lengthy pursuit of winger Cristiano Ronaldo he saw off this summer.

Rome - After weeks of embarrassing results, Roma seem to be over one of their worst ever season starts, which practically cut them off from the race for the Serie A title.

The red-yellows from the capital were again expected to be among the toughest opponents for title holders Inter Milan after coming second in 2007 and 2008, but their reputation and hopes were badly dented by six defeats in the first nine games.

With a 16-point deficit from the leading champions after 13 games, Roma had to cut down their ambitions at home.

But they still have good hopes to do well in the Champions League.
