Datuk Lee Chong Wei's future remains uncertain

May 07, 2019

BAM President Datuk Seri Norza Zakaria says the association is still deciding on when's the best time for Datuk Lee Chong Wei to return to action, as the 36-year-old continues his recovery from nose cancer.

He adds that Chong Wei will not be included in the national squad for any upcoming tournaments, until his doctor officially gives him the green light.

This means that Chong Wei is set to miss a second straight World Championships, which will be held in Switzerland this August.

Jurgen Klopp recalls being 3-0 down

Jurgen Klopp is hoping to emulate a past experience during his time with Borussia Dortmund, when Liverpool host Barcelona for their Champions League second leg semifinal.

The Reds need to overcome a 3-nil deficit from the first leg, and Klopp has compared this task to a comeback his Dortmund side made against Real Madrid in the 2014 quarters, when they lost 3-nil at the Bernabeu, but then posted a 2-nil win at home, which saw them only narrowly miss out on progressing.

While Klopp is aware that Barca are a completely different opponent, he's confident his players will be able to pull off an upset tomorrow morning.
