Chelsea star limps off with suspected injury in Europa League fixture

- Alvaro Morata limped of with a suspected injury in the Europa League

- The Spaniard was involved in Chelsea's 2-2 draw away to Vidi FC

- Mauricio Sarri is yet to give an update on the extent of damage to Morata

Chelsea striker Alvaro Morata limped off during Chelsea's 2-2 draw with Vidi FC in the Europa League and the Spaniard is doubtful for their trip to Brighton this weekend.

This could give Maurizio Sarri something about to worry ahead of the Blues busy schedule all through the New Year.

Though Olivier Giroud has been a good back up for the Spain international but the Italian gaffer will be looking to maximize his large squad.

The Transitional Phase of African Poetry

The Transitional Phase The second phase, which we have chosen to call transitional, is represented by the poetry of writers like Abioseh Nicol, Gabriel Okara, Kwesi Brew, Dennis Brutus, Lenrie Peters and Joseph Kariuki. This is poetry which is written by people we normally refer to as modem and who may be thought of as belonging to the third phase.

The poetry of this phase is that of writers in “exile” keenly aware of being colonials, whose identity was under siege. It is a poetry of protest against exploitation and racial discrimination, of agitation for political independence, of nostalgic evocation of Africa’s past and visions of her future. However, although these were themes common to poets of both English and French expression, the obvious differences between the Francophone poets and the Anglophone writers of the 1930s and 1940s have been generally noted. Because of the intensity with which they felt their physical exile from Africa, coupled with their exposure to the experimental contemporary modes of writing in F
