The 28-year-old picked up the injury during Friday’s 2-1 Euro 2020 quarter- final win over Belgium in Munich, the day Mourinho arrived in Rome. “It’s a terrible loss for Italy, but imagine how terrible it is for me who won’t have him for about six months,” Mourinho said. “(Chelsea’s) Emerson Palmieri is a good player, with experience. But Spinazzola was playing in an incredible way.” Former Tottenham boss Mourinho returns to Italy 11 years after leading Inter Milan to the treble – Champions League, Serie A and Coppa Italia.

The London Wildlife Trust was awarded £3,870 through the Council’s Civic Pride Fund and £4,228 from The Community Fund to help make the Crane Park Island Trail more accessible to children and those with disabilities. With the help of the Council, the Trust installed numbered oak posts each fitted with etched zinc plaque that depicts the varied wildlife and history of Crane Park Island. Children and adults can use the plaques to create rubbings. There is also a colourful and informative site map, and a quiz for families to take when visiting.

Following last week’s update on Twickenham Riverside the “Twickenham Lido” petition, advocating sport and leisure on the disputed site became very active with an additional eighty people signing and making comments. These are individual residents - now 4,243 supporters of “Twickenham lido”, who the Council do not seem to hear. However, a question asked is will the Council give in to public opinion or will minority groups in a small area of Twickenham win the day? The Council consultation at the moment consists of a “Stakeholders Group”. Those of us interested in Twickenham Riverside are all stakeholders but a number of the groups invited to consult with the Council seem to be connected with Eel Pie Island - a car-free island, where people appear to want to keep vehicles on the Embankment rather than looking at alternative parking.

For example, Monday collections will take place on Tuesday and Friday collections on the Saturday. Council leads the Capital in support for troubled families Work by Achieving for Children’s social workers, on behalf of Richmond Council, to support troubled families in the borough has been praised highly by the Government. Phase two of the Troubled Families programme was launched in 2015. The aim of the programme is for Councils and local partner organisations to work together with local families who have multiple problems including crime, anti-social behaviour, truancy, unemployment, mental health problems and domestic abuse. The aim is to support families using local interventions and help ‘turn their lives around’. This could include getting children back into school, reducing youth crime and anti-social behaviour, putting adults on a path back into work and reducing the high costs these families place on the public purse. The Government has identified 650 families in Richmond that need specific support over a five-year period.

Ilaitia Cokanasiga, who over almost 14 years in the armed forces served two tours in Iraq and one in Afghanistan, told the Guardian that his immigration difficulties had stopped him from travelling to see his 22-year-old son, Joe Cokanasiga, play for England in the World Cup in Japan last year. He is devastated at being stranded 10,000 miles away from his family, unable to support his wife as she waits for an operation on a brain tumour. “I feel betrayed after what I did for the army and the country,” he told the Guardian. “I talk to my wife every other day, and she cries on the phone. She is very worried. I’m not there and she’s supposed to be having surgery. Everyone in the family is struggling to cope with the pressures of my wife’s poor health. I need to return to the UK to care for my wife.” Joe Cokanasiga during a training session before the Rugby World Cup semi-final against New Zealand in Tokyo last October.
