NNAMDI COLLINS; A 16 YEAR OLD NIGERIAN DEFENDER TRAINING AT BORUSSIA

Angel
Nnamdi Collins, Nigeria-eligible central defender has been called up to Borrusia Dortmund first team as they start preparations for the upcoming season.

 Collins at the age of 16 was among the 31 Dortmund players, including Jadon Sancho, Manuel Akanji and Erling Haaland, that arrived in Bad Ragaz, where they are holding their summer training camp for the tenth time, as informed at the official website of Borussia Dortmund.

Collins wasn't the only youth-teamer named in the traveling squad, with Youssoufa Moukoko, 15,  and Ansgar Knauff, 18, also part of the group.

The Düsseldorf-born youngster took part in Dortmund's first training session on Monday afternoon upon their arrival in Switzerland.

Collins being selected by first team manager Lucien Favre for the pre-season training camp is a testament to the progress he has made in his career over the last one year as he has yet to make his competitive debut for the U19 team.

Last season, the Germany U16 captain scored an impressive 4 goals in 21 appearances in the B-Junioren Bundesliga West.

Collins joined Borussia Dortmund from the youth team of Fortuna Düsseldorf in the summer of 2016.

After A Court Ruling, The White House Reaches An Agreement To Reinstate Trump's 'Remain In Mexico' Asylum Policy.

The Biden administration stated on Thursday that it has reached an agreement with the Mexican government to restore a Trump-era border policy that requires asylum seekers to remain in Mexico until their immigration court hearing in the United States. According to NBC News, the program will begin on Monday at one border crossing and will eventually expand to seven crossings, including San Diego and the Texas cities of Laredo, El Paso, and Brownsville. Former President Donald Trump originally established the policy in 2019 in response to an uptick in Central American families crossing the southwest border. According to the American Immigration Council, some 70,000 migrants have been returned to Mexico as a result of the program since 2019. President Joe Biden suspended the policy on his first day in office, citing violence against migrants waiting for court hearings in Mexico, and it was formally ended in June. In April, however, the Republican-controlled states of Texas and Missouri sue...

  n the aftermath of George Floyd’s murder, the phrase “Black Lives Matter” commenced to show up everywhere: on front lawns and back bumpers, on NBA players’ warm-up shirts in the course of pregame shoot-arounds, on gamers’ title displays when they fired up “FIFA 20,” on the tongues of longtime activists, college coaches, Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah). On the chests of Black people declaring their humanity and White people professing their allyship. After former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin was convicted of Floyd’s murder, Lisa Granade, a 40-year-old White woman, finally got around to placing up a signal on her property, in an overwhelmingly White Seattle neighborhood. Granade selected a black flag with a rainbow-colored fist clenched in solidarity, hanging it on a street-facing fence alongside banners assisting LGBTQ rights and opposing gun violence. And that’s how she ended up standing in the front of her residence getting yelled at and called a “racist” through another W...

In this article, we will explore the causes, risks, and treatment options associated with breech pregnancy to help you better understand this condition and make informed decisions.

Ministers May Ignore The JCVI And Push For Covid Vaccinations For All 12- To 15-Year-Olds

Ministers could ignore their official vaccine consultants for the first time and push for Covid vaccinations for all 12- to 15-year-olds, after a scientific body ruled that the net health benefit of vaccination was too tiny. Ministers will seek additional data that could help them overturn the watchdog's decision, highlighting a deepening divergence between the government and scientific experts over the next phase of the vaccine campaign. After days of speculation, the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) released a statement on Friday saying that while the health benefits of vaccinating the entire age group outweighed the risks, "the margin of benefit is considered too small to support universal vaccination of healthy 12- to 15-year-olds," At this time, the evidence is insufficient to justify universal immunization of healthy 12- to 15-year-olds." On Friday, a line of young people formed in London to get vaccinated. Instead, the group advised expan...
