Pep Guardiola to miss two Man City games after emergency back surgery

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola is set to miss the club's next two Premier League Games after undergoing emergency surgery on a back injury.

The Premier League champions wrote in a statement on Tuesday that the 52-year-old was suffering from "severe" back pain and had flown back to Barcelona for a "routine operation".

"Everyone at Manchester City wishes Pep a speedy recovery, and look forward to seeing him back in Manchester soon," the club's post added, also confirming that assistant manager Juanma Lillo will take care of first-team training until Guardiola is fit to return.

Lillo will also oversee City's next two Premier League games, against Sheffield United and Fulham, from the touchlin. Meanwhile, Guardiola, who will rehabilitate his injury back in Barcelona, is expected to resume normal duties after the September international break.

Guardiola has overseen a fast start from City as they bid to win a fifth Premier League title in six seasons. Burnley were swatted to one side on the opening day of the season, as City ran out 3-0 winners at Turf Moor, before Newcastle United were beaten by Julian Alvarez's goal in Saturday's late Game.

LA County sheriff's department calls video of deputy tackling woman 'disturbing,' opens inquiry

The Los Angeles County sheriff says video footage of a deputy violently throwing a woman to the ground while she filmed her husband being handcuffed in a grocery store parking lot is “disturbing." LOS ANGELES -- The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department says a bystander’s cellphone footage showing a deputy violently tackling a woman while she filmed her husband being handcuffed and then pepper-spraying her in the face is “ disturbing,” and community groups on Wednesday called for the department's new sheriff to hold his agency accountable. The June 24 incident in the city of Lancaster follows several cases that have drawn scrutiny to the department amid allegations of excessive use of force by its deputies.
