Maradona death trial verdict set for December 22

The court will deliver its verdict on December 22 in the trial of seven healthcare professionals accused of negligence in Diego Maradona’s 2020 death. After six months of hearings, his daughter Dalma said she hoped her father would receive justice, while his primary doctor, Leopoldo Luque, declared himself innocent. Prosecutors sought prison terms of four to twelve years for six defendants, including 12 years for Luque. The case centers in part on the decision to let Maradona convalesce at a private residence rather than in hospital, despite medical warning signs experts said his caretakers failed to address.

Harry Kane hopes Ballon d’Or produces ‘special night’ in hometown

Harry Kane hopes for a “special night” at Monday’s Ballon d’Or ceremony in his hometown of London, where bookmakers make him the favourite. The Bayern Munich striker scored 73 goals for club and country last season, the second-highest total in history behind Lionel Messi’s 82 in 2010-2011. Against Arsenal on Wednesday, Kane set up Alphonso Davies’s equaliser and won and converted a penalty before Declan Rice made it 2-2. Kane says he is trying not to think about his chances of a first Ballon d’Or, with Lamine Yamal, Rodri, Kylian Mbappé and Michael Olise among his rivals.
