Real Madrid manager, Zinedine Zidane has confirmed forward Cristiano Ronaldo will not feature in the midweek clash against Cultural to ensure he is fresh for the weekend fixture against Barcelona.

Los Blancos have a shot at opening up a nine-point lead against their bitter rivals Barcelona when they face this weekend.

The first leg against Cultural saw Madrid record a 7-1 win without the Portuguese and Zidane has confirmed he won’t be available for the return leg at the Bernabeu.

Wednesday’s game is a chance for Ronaldo to have some rest,” Zidane said at a press conference.

Nevertheless, the Madrid coach was adamant that they will not take the match lightly, before confirming that Casemiro will make his comeback after a two-month lay-off due to a fractured leg.

“It is true that 7-1 is a very good result for us, but we must respect the opponent, and the fans who come to support us,” he added. “I hold Cultural in high esteem. They are a good team that can cause us problems. Casemiro will get minutes. It will be his first game back, so we will have to see and see how he feels for Saturday’s match. But he is ready to play.”

Ivan Bebeto was arrested by police in Kampala after several men claimed that he took money from them under false pretenses.

Most of them described him as a beautiful woman who wore a wig, short skirt and make up.

The man, who calls himself Queen, has been operating through East and Central Africa including Nairobi (Kenya), Kampala (Uganda), Bujumbura (Burundi) and Dar es Salaam (Tanzania).

“It is not easy to discover that he is a man because he knows how to groom himself to look persuasively woman-like,” said a victim. “He wears feminine perfume and when he goes clubbing, he hangs out predominantly with women, especially commercial sex workers.”

Bebeto was arrested after a man who was interested in him paid for sexual favours, believing she is a woman.

He kept giving the man excuses why he couldn’t sleep with him even though he had already received a down payment from the wealthy man.

Bebeto said he could not go to his house, claiming he felt more comfortable in his room, and thus asked the supposed customer to accompany him to a room where he kept his items.

It’s from this that the man suspected Babeto might be a criminal pretending to be a girl. He quickly informed the police who raided the apartment only to be shocked that he was a man and not a woman after questioning him.
