Roma skipper and talisman Francesco Totti is facing a spell on the sidelines after picking up a hamstring injury in the 2-0 win over Napoli on Friday.

The 37-year-old has been at the forefront of the Giallorossi's imperious early form, having chipped in with three goals and six assists already this season to lead the club to the summit of the Serie A standings.

But the former Italy international was replaced just after the half-hour mark against the Partenopei and will be out for at least 10 days, according to a statement released by the club that read:

"Francesco Totti underwent tests this morning (Monday) which identified an injury to his hamstring.

"He will be reassessed in 10 days.

"The captain has already begun his recovery program."

Rossi Hat-Trick Sinks Juve

An inspired second-half hat-trick by Guiseppe Rossi helped Fiorentina come from two goals down to beat Juventus 4-2 at the Stadio Artemio Franchi. The champions started the game off brightly, showing their early intent and created the first chance in the 17th minute when Carlos Tevez left-footed shot was saved by Norberto Neto in the Fiorentina goal, after a stop start opening period. Facundo Roncaglia had the home side's first chance four minutes later when he let fly from 35 yards but the defenders long-range effort went just wide. Argentine striker Tevez then came close again with 25 minutes played, the former Manchester City player got on the end of midfielder Paul Pogba's cross but he's header flashed just wide of the target. Fiorentina struggled to break down the Turin visitors defence and were forced to try their luck from outside the box with Roncaglia again letting fly but his shot went straight at Gianluigi Buffon in the Juventus goal. Claudio Marchisio's right footed shot from outside the box was saved in the bottom left corner by Fiorentina goalkeeper Neto on the half-hour mark. Tevez then finally got last season's Serie A champions ahead when the Argentine was fouled in the box by Juan Guillermo Cuadrado. The striker then stepped up to slot home the 37th minute penalty and gave the visitors a well-deserved lead. Antonio Conte's men soon doubled their lead when French midfielder Pogba slotted home with five minutes left in the first-half. Viola did not give up and three goals in five minutes was enough to pull off a memorable comeback for the hosts. Fiorentina started their fight back when Juventus midfielder Kwadwo Asamoah fouled Matías Fernández in the box, and Rossi stepped up to slot home the penalty in the 66th minute to reduce the deficit. Vincenzo Montella's men equalised 10 minutes later when Rossi struck a fierce shot from outside the box fizzed past Buffon and into the bottom corner. The hosts then went ahead for the first time in the game two minutes later when Spanish winger Joaquín slotted past the Italian international keeper, after being set up by Borja Valero. Viola hero and current Serie A top goal scorer Rossi then completed his hat-trick, and completed the rout in the 81st minute with a smart left-footed finish from the edge of the box handing Juventus their first defeat of the season.

UGANDA POLICE, WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR KIKUUBO'S SE...


On Suturday 19th of October,2013 Andrew Felix Kaweesi,the commandant of Kampala Metropolitant Police, spent most of the day traversing Kikuubo Business Community. He met with different stakeholders and it was ressolved that check points be put at all entrances.Monday(today) came and the main gates had poorly dressed mean looking 'nigas'.They have no name tags,neither do they have uniforms nor metal detectors. So many a people found themselves in a situation where strangers had to feel their heeps with no clear information! In one of the many incidents,one man had to take off and leave his belongings behind,why he wasn't aware of them and they touched him unexpectedly. This place, being a pickpockecters' hub,these 'nigas' have had to endure some insults for they were mistakenly taken to be pickpocketers(you can't blame them). Lastly, All Arcades have alternative entrances that connect to Kikuubo but
