News round-up: Premiership stars Pape Bouba Diop and Henri Camara helped Senegal come from behind to beat Guinea 3-2 and book an African Nations Cup semi-final against hosts Egypt, 4-1 victors over Democratic Republic of Congo.
Kaba Diawara had put Guinea ahead in the first half but Fulham midfielder Diop equalised for the 2002 World Cup quarter-finalists on the hour before strikes from Mamadou Niang and Wigan's striker Camara made the game safe and Pascal Feindouno then scored a last-gasp consolation.
Egypt, who had the not fully-fit Tottenham striker Mido on the bench, ran out comfortable winners in front of a capacity crowd in Cairo. Two goals from Ahmed Hassan, one a penalty, and others from Hossam Hassan and Emad Moteab ensured the hosts progressed despite their opponents giving themselves a chance seconds before half-time when Abdelzaher El Saqqa's own goal made it 2-1.
Manchester United defender Mikael Silvestre has admitted he snubbed a move to Lyon during the January transfer window.
His future has been cast into doubt by Alex Ferguson's decision to spend £12 million on Nemanja Vidic and Patrice Evra.
Both signings threaten Silvestre's position, with Vidic occupying the Frenchman's preferred central defensive berth and Evra operating in the left-back slot where his fellow countryman has also featured at times during his six-year United career.
United's Cristiano Ronaldo has been given a one-match European ban and fined by Uefa.
The winger was banned for gesturing to Benfica's fans in United's defeat on December 7th last year. Ronaldo was unhappy with the treatment he received at Stadio da Luz and raised his middle finger at the home fans after being substituted. Uefa were unhappy with Ronaldo's actions and handed him a £4,000 fine and a one-match ban.
Because United have been eliminated from Europe the ban will come into effect next season should United qualify.
Alan Curbishley has fired a broadside towards new Tottenham signing Danny Murphy after his deadline day move from Charlton Athletic. The Addicks boss said Martin Jol would have problems with the midfielder if he is dropped.
