ino brawl.
The Senegal international has been charged with wounding with intent amid claims he was involved in the fight back in his homeland.

Local woman Khady Sy claims the 29-year-old and his pro-wrestler bodyguard Cheik Sadibou Boye assaulted her at the exclusive Casino du Cap Vert at Almadies in June last year.

According to the Daily Express, Diouf appeared in court in Senegal last Friday while on a visit back home for a charity event.

He faces a two-year prison sentence if the case comes to trial at Dakar's district court.

Blackburn officials said they did not know anything about the court appearance.

A club spokesman told the Daily Star: "He was over there at the weekend on the invitation of the Senegalese president for a charity event."

Diouf is no stranger to controversy and was accused of attacking Aicha Ba, ex-wife of his former international and club team-mate Khalilou Fadiga, in 2006. Three years earlier, he pleaded guilty to assault after spitting at Celtic fans.

LIMBE - Everything seems to be working in harmony to indicate that the announced multipurpose sport complex for Limbe will soon be a reality. As Parliament examines the 2010 state budget, the Minister for Sport and Physical Education defending his ministry’s budget, mentioned allocations for the construction of stadiums in a couple of cities.

limbe_sportFrom an initial intention to build sport facilities all over the country in partnership with the Chinese, a recent Cameroonian delegation to China managed to secure assurances for only two for now – one each in Limbe and Bafoussam. The sport minister also told Parliament the government plans to build gymnasiums in Yaounde and Douala.

In line with that assurance, the Limbe Government Delegate, Andrew Motanga, informed his city-dwellers that the protocol agreement towards building the stadium was signed between the governments of Cameroon and China on November 5. He said a 12.56 hectare piece of land has already been allocated for the project in Bonadikombo (Mile Four) Limbe.

Limbe has been one of the flagbearers of football in the South West Region, being the home base of Victoria United and Electsport, two of the few teams from the region to have played elite football.

The Limbe population is hoping that the project would be realized in time to serve as a late anniversary gift for the city as it celebrates from December 3, 150 years since its foreign founder, Alfred Saker, a Baptist missionary, landed on its shores.

Competitive football matches are played in lime at the Centenary Stadium, inaugurated in 1968 on the occasion of the centenary (100th anniversary) of the founding of Victoria, now Limbe.

It was rehabilitated to its present state by Henry Njalla Quan, a local prince and football promoter,
