Middlesbrough:
Middlesbrough defender Jonathan Grounds has vowed to fight to keep his place in the first-team.
The 20-year-old was recalled from a loan spell at Norwich City to play in Boro's 1-0 win at Wigan Athletic after injuries hit the squad.
"If the manager sticks with me, hopefully I can get a few more opportunities," Grounds told BBC Tees.
First choice left-back Andrew Taylor is now fit again after recovering from a hip injury.
Grounds graduated from Middlesbrough's academy and made his Premier League debut against Liverpool at the Riverside last season.
He made three starts and two substitute appearances during his time at Norwich City.
"You get more maturity with being away from home and playing in a different environment. When you come back you feel a lot more confident to be able to go into the first-team," Grounds added.
Boro's 1-0 victory over the Latics was their first away win in the Premier League since they beat Portsmouth in December 2007 and it was also their first clean sheet of the season.
Chelsea:
Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich has been elected to parliament in the remote Chukotka region, only months after resigning as governor.
The Central Election Commission says Mr Abramovich won 97% of Sunday's vote to the regional parliament.
President Dmitry Medvedev had allowed him to step down as governor in July. Previously Vladimir Putin is thought to have refused to accept his resignation.
The owner of Chelsea FC is now expected to head the regional legislature.
Mr Abramovich became very popular in the remote Arctic region after investing millions of his own dollars there in social services.
Russian media suggested that Mr Abramovich had attempted repeatedly to leave his position as governor but that former President Putin was opposed to the move.
Mr Abramovich, 41, was ranked earlier this year by Forbes magazine as Russia's second wealthiest businessman with a reported capital of more than $24bn (£13.8bn).
He made his wealth in oil and natural resources, following the liberalisation of Russian markets in the late 1980s and 1990s.
However, there have been reports that his fortune has been heavily eroded by the crash in world stock markets.
