Former WBO junior-featherweight champion Isaac Dogboe has threatened an unknown number of individuals at the ministry of youth and Sports.

Dogboe in a tweet on Saturday said he will ensure that some individuals at the ministry face a jail sentence.

The 26-year old’s tweet, however, did not indicate any reasons he would want to see the unnamed persons face a jail term.

Dogboe recently made changes in his backroom staff which led to the exit of his father, Paul Dogbe as his manager.

Jose Mourinho has claimed Gareth Bale is in his best shape since returning from Real Madrid and is finally free from lingering injury concerns.

Bale has looked sharper and hungrier in Tottenham’s last three games, scoring twice in the Europa League against Wolfsberger and making a positive impact from the bench in the 2-1 defeat at West Ham.

‘The mental is always a consequence of the physical,’ said Mourinho. ‘If a player feels great, if he is playing 100 per cent and if the feelings are all good, there are no psychological problems or fears.

‘When you have little worries and especially when you have a recent history of injuries, it’s normal to have some fears – and these fears have a consequence – but lately he has been fine.

‘He looks happier than ever, he looks confident. He has confidence back in training, the way he hits shots. His goal on Wednesday was a confident shot. A player with fear or negative feelings would never have hit that type of shot. To strike the ball that way, it means a lot. It means freedom: for this you need to be in a good condition and he is in the best condition since he arrived.’

It is only two weeks since Mourinho was at odds with Bale, criticising the Wales captain for a social media post about a ‘good session’ in training after requesting a scan because he could feel discomfort and was unable to play at Everton in the FA Cup.

Bale’s much-heralded return from Madrid on loan has been a disappointment but a spring flourish from the 31-year-old would lift faltering Tottenham.

‘It’s just a question of how many minutes he can play and how many days he needs to recover between matches,’ added Mourinho. ‘We trust him. Players with a lot of experience know their bodies better than anyone.’

The Spurs boss was also more positive than usual about Dele Alli, who has spent most of this season on the fringes and has suffered minor injuries.

‘I am happy with him,’ said Mourinho. ‘He came back and we had good conversations. He is training well, playing parts of matches. His condition is improving. We need him, we need them all. More than ever, we need a squad.’

Spurs have been drawn against Croatian champions Dinamo Zagreb in the last 16 of the Europa League.

Both clubs are confident they will be able to play the tie across two legs in their own stadiums.

Former Argentina forward Franco Jara, now playing for FC Dallas in the United States, has flirted with the idea of Lionel Messi arriving in MLS.

The Barcelona captain has a decision to make come the end of his contract at the Camp Nou in June, with a move stateside one of the options being speculated over.

“If he [Messi] comes to play [in MLS], I’d kiss his feet,” Jara told 90min. “It would be insane, a madness.

“Over the course of my career, when I was in the national team, I had the chance to share [the pitch] with players like them but having him face to face is totally different.

“[MLS] have brought in Zlatan [Ibrahimovic], [Gonzalo] Higuain… let’s hope [Messi] gets the opportunity.

“As much for Messi as for Cristiano [Ronaldo], it’s an opportunity to live outside of football, to be a normal person.

“Me, you, we like to go out to eat, go to the cinema, go to the supermarket to buy… and the United States offers that.”
