  • Dominic Solanke suffers knee injury as Tottenham’s injury crisis worsens | Football News


    Tottenham’s injury curse has struck again with Dominic Solanke suffering a knee problem in training.

    Solanke suffered the injury on Saturday ahead of Spurs’ Super Sunday trip to Everton, and it is not yet known for how long he will be sidelined.

    The Spurs forward has been a consistent performer since his £65m arrival from Bournemouth in the summer, scoring 11 goals in all competitions.

    Speaking ahead of kick-off at Goodison Park, manager Ange Postecoglou said: “Dom tweaked his knee in training yesterday trying to have a shot. I am not sure the extent of it.

    “It is always a blow when you lose key players and obviously in the situation we are in it is exemplified by the fact that we do not really have the depth to cover it.”

    Tottenham have been plagued by injuries this term, with the majority of their first-choice backline – goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario, Destiny Udogie, Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven out of contention.

    Brennan Johnson and Yves Bissouma picked up knocks against Arsenal last time out, with Postecoglou saying that Bissouma’s issue was “not too bad, Brennan probably a bit more significant”.

    He added: “But we have 11 fit players and that is enough to start a game with.”

    In a blow to Tottenham Hotspur’s already-depleted squad, Dominic Solanke has suffered a knee injury that will see him sidelined for the foreseeable future. The young striker, who has been a key player for the team this season, picked up the injury in training earlier this week.

    Solanke’s absence is a major setback for Tottenham, who are already dealing with a number of key players on the sidelines. The club’s injury crisis has worsened in recent weeks, with the likes of Harry Kane, Son Heung-min, and Sergio Reguilon also facing spells on the sidelines.

    Manager Nuno Espirito Santo will now have to rely on other attacking options to fill the void left by Solanke’s absence. The injury comes at a crucial time for Tottenham, who are currently battling for a top-four finish in the Premier League.

    Fans will be hoping for a swift recovery for Solanke, who has been a bright spot for the team this season. In the meantime, Tottenham will need to dig deep and find a way to cope with their growing injury list as they look to secure a Champions League spot for next season.

  • UBS sees sluggish iPhone sales in Dec as China demand worsens By Investing.com

    UBS sees sluggish iPhone sales in Dec as China demand worsens By Investing.com


    Investing.com– Apple Inc (NASDAQ:) is likely to see weaker sales of its flagship iPhone in December, UBS analysts said in a recent note, citing persistent concerns over slowing demand and falling market share in top market China.

    UBS cut its iPhone unit/revenue estimates for December to 74 million units and $67.2 million revenue from 77 million units and $69.7 million revenue. While the brokerage does see some resilience in Apple’s services revenue, its lowered forecast for iPhone sales saw a 2% negative revision in UBS’ December quarter revenue estimates to $120.8 billion, which is lower than street estimates of $124.9 billion.

    UBS also cut its earnings per share estimate for the December quarter to $2.25 from $2.31, compared to street estimates of $2.36.

    The brokerage noted recent data from Counterpoint Research that iPhone sell-through declined 8% year-on-year in November to 20.7 million units, with China accounting for a bulk of this decline. The iPhone’s global share also sank to 20.1% in November- its lowest level since November 2019.

    The brokerage noted that October and November usually account for a bulk of Apple’s iPhone sales in the December quarter, with a decline in November boding poorly for the technology giant.

    “We now expect iPhone revenue to decline 5% YoY in the December quarter, missing both our estimate, the VA Consensus and implied positive growth highlighted by the company during the Sept quarter earnings report,” UBS analysts said in a note.

    Apple has been grappling with years of slowing device sales, with a bulk of these declines being driven by weakening demand in China. The company is also facing heightened competition from local players such as Huawei and Xiaomi (OTC:).

    Apple’s inclusion of artificial intelligence features in its flagship iPhone 16 models did little to stimulate sales, given that the company largely lagged its rivals in introducing AI features. The tech giant is also yet to roll out any AI features in China due to regulatory hurdles.

    Still, Apple’s services revenue has remained robust, thanks to support from strong AppStore sales and demand for its software offerings. This is expected to limit overall declines in earnings.





    UBS, one of the world’s leading financial services firms, has reported that iPhone sales in December were sluggish due to worsening demand in China. The firm attributes this slowdown to a combination of economic factors and increased competition in the Chinese market.

    According to UBS analysts, iPhone sales in China have been affected by a weaker economy and ongoing trade tensions between the US and China. Additionally, domestic competitors such as Huawei and Xiaomi have been gaining market share in the region, putting pressure on Apple’s sales.

    Despite these challenges, UBS remains optimistic about Apple’s long-term prospects, citing the company’s strong brand and loyal customer base. However, the firm warns that Apple may need to adjust its pricing strategy and product offerings in order to maintain its competitive position in the Chinese market.

    Investors will be keeping a close eye on Apple’s upcoming earnings report to gauge the impact of sluggish iPhone sales in China. As the tech giant continues to navigate a challenging global landscape, UBS’s insights provide valuable context for understanding the company’s performance in key markets.
