Leicestershire are optimistic that their highly regarded all-rounder Shiv Thakor will be fully fit when the players report back for pre-season training a week on Monday

Thakor suffered a broken finger in January at the start of England under-19s' tour to South Africa.

He had to return home with the injury, which was a huge disappointment as he had been made captain of Tim Boon's young side.

"There was a crack in the finger and, provisionally, it was a case of six weeks out," said County head coach Phil Whitticase.

"He is still doing rehab but I anticipate that he should be fit by March 18 to report back. We have had to put the reins on him because he is eager to keep practicing."

Thakor was hugely impressive in the second half of last season when he stepped up to championship cricket shortly after completing his A-level studies at Uppingham School. He batted at No7 from where he scored four half-centuries showing admirable technique and maturity.

Thakor also offered County another seam bowling option, while he was also among the runs in the one-day game with another couple of half-centuries.

Most observers believe that Thakor has the talent and application to cement a place in the top order in first-class cricket over the course of the next few years, while continuing to improve his ability with the ball.

Whitticase, though, says that the youngster, who has come through the County age group and academy system, cannot be pushed too quickly at this stage of his career.

"Shiv gives good balance to the side and we all saw what he can do," County's coach said. "But the key thing is that we continue to manage him the right way.

"When any young player comes into the side there is always the thought that you would like to let him loose, give him responsibility and play him in every game.

"I'm sure Shiv would relish that opportunity but, if we can continue to manage him like we did last season, that will be really useful for the club."

Former Eurovision contender Engelbert Humperdinck has wished Bonnie Tyler luck as she prepares to take part in this year's contest.

The veteran vocalist wrote to Bonnie to congratulate her on being selected to represent the United Kingdom and gave her a vote of confidence, saying: "You can do it, Bonnie!"

Enge, 76, from Great Glen, was the oldest singer to ever take part in Eurovision, when he performed in Baku, Azerbaijan, last year.

Unfortunately, the Leicester legend's ballad Love Will Set You Free came second last with just 12 points – despite being touted as second favourite to win at one point.

However, Enge referred to the event as a "great step in his career" and has now given his support to 61-year-old Welsh rock singer Bonnie, who will compete in Malmo, Sweden, in May.

Enge wrote: "Dear Bonnie, I wanted to take this opportunity to congratulate you on being the one to represent our wonderful country.

"The Eurovision was such a great step in my career and with the grand support of the BBC and my beloved country behind me, the loss of winning had me stepping on a loose unforgiving stone on a pyramid to paradise.

"But paradise will always be there for someone else to triumph in fair judgement to pride our country once again.

"Most Sincerely, Engelbert.

"PS – You can do it, Bonnie!"

Bonnie , whose hits include It's A Heartache, Total Eclipse of the Heart and Holding Out for a Hero, will perform a song called Believe In Me at the event on May 18.

Enge's son and manager, Scott Dorsey, said the media hype and exposure from taking part in the contest was "priceless".

He said before he had even finished asking his father whether he fancied representing his country, Enge had agreed and asked what he would be singing.

"My father is still extremely proud to have been asked to represent the United Kingdom," said Scott. "And after performing in front of a television audience of more than 200 million people he has not stopped receiving offers to perform around the world.

"We send our congratulations and best wishes to Bonnie."

Bonnie's '80s classic Holding Out for a Hero was recently used by De Montfort University to raise money for charity when a flash mob of about 1,000 staff and students danced and lip-synced to the song.

If Leicester City are awarded a penalty against Sheffield Wednesday today, Chris Wood will have no fear of stepping up to take it.

Wood fluffed a spot kick at Blackpool two weeks ago and it cost City two vital points. But he said the miss, when his penalty rattled the crossbar, has not bothered him since.

The 21-year-old has been in fantastic goalscoring form since joining City from West Bromwich Albion in January, nailing nine goals in 11 games.

Wood said he never lets any missed chances affect him.

"Missing the penalty didn't bother me," he said. "It was one of those things. Numerous other players miss a penalty. It doesn't bother me.

"I will still be there ready to take the next one. It is just one of those things on that day, it didn't go in. You have to be there to miss them.

"You are always going to miss penalties in your career, it is just about limiting them.

"Hopefully, I will get the next one as soon as possible. We are still creating chances, which is the main thing, and we know we are a threat and can score goals."

There seems to be even more pressure on strikers to take the chances in tight games, but the laid-back New Zealander said he can handle any pressure.

"There is always going to be pressure but it is a case of dealing with it and making sure you are ready for the next game," he said.

"You have to try and get away from it and just relax, and then be able to switch and be fully focused when you come into training.

"You can't over think things. I just lie around and watch television and relax. I just chill out."

Wood said all the City players believe they can turn around their recent form and get back in the hunt for an automatic promotion place.

"You can see in the dressing room and in the training games we have that we are still working hard for each other and have the belief in each other," he said.

"That is what we need for the rest of the run-in.

"It is going to be a tough game on Saturday because they are a very physical side. They have a lot to play for but so do we.

"Hopefully, we can go out there, stick to our own beliefs and get the right result against them."

Prosecutors have dropped criminal charges against the widow of a former senior Leicestershire police officer who committed suicide last year.

Teresa Fraser was due to stand trial alongside her husband, former assistant chief constable Gordon Fraser, for allegedly conspiring together to help him dodge a speeding penalty.

However, the Crown Prosecution Service has announced it will not proceed with the case in light of Mr Fraser's death.

Mr Fraser was accused of perverting the course of justice by telling police his wife had been driving at the time of the speeding offence. Mrs Fraser, a detective with West Midlands Police, was charged because she had allegedly made a statement in which she said she had been driving.

Mr Fraser killed himself by stepping in front of a train in October last year, a day before the couple were due to appear in court.

A spokeswoman for the Thames and Chiltern Crown Prosecution Service said it was not in the public interest to prosecute Mrs Fraser.

"Mrs Fraser was left with sole responsibility of their three young children as a result," the spokeswoman said.

"In coming to the decision not to prosecute, consideration was given to the welfare of Mrs Fraser and her young family in these very difficult circumstances."

The decision was reached last month, but a court ruling meant it could only be made public at the conclusion of the high-profile Vicky Pryce trial.

Pryce was this week found guilty of perverting the course of justice for committing effectively the same offence for which Mrs Fraser had been charged.

A jury found Ms Pryce and her former husband, ex-Government minister Chris Huhne, plotted to help him evade a speeding fine.

Huhne, a Liberal Democrat, admitted the same offence a month ago.

Mr Fraser was appointed as Leicestershire's assistant chief constable in June, 2009, and was later promoted to the rank of acting deputy chief – the second most senior role in the force.

However, in December, 2010, he was suspended from his £100,000-a-year post on full pay and placed under investigation for alleged fraud and gross misconduct.

That inquiry, which is continuing under the supervision of Merseyside Police, was into his alleged role in an overseas property business whose investors reportedly lost money.

Mrs Fraser is also a subject of the investigation and is also currently suspended by her force. Merseyside Police was appointed to carry out the inquiry into the allegations as it had no connections to the Frasers, or anyone else under investigation.

Councillor David Bill, a long-serving member of the now-disbanded Leicestershire Police Authority, said: "This whole case has been a tragedy."

After he was suspended and the property deals inquiry was under way, Mr Fraser spoke to the Mercury to protest his innocence.

He said: "All I want to do is get back to my job of protecting the public. It's what I was brought up to do.

"I'm desperate to help the investigation and I am convinced my name is going to be cleared."

Jeff Schlupp is back at Leicester City - and back in the first team.

The 20-year-old will deputise for the injured Paul Konchesky in today's clash with Sheffield Wednesday at the King Power Stadium.

It ends a hectic week for Schlupp, who had been training at Manchester United and been the subject of reported interest from Bolton.

Konchesky injured a hamstring against Leeds on Tuesday and is likely to miss the next three games.

But City boss Nigel Pearson says he has no qualms about throwing the youngster straight into the mix.

Schlupp has deputised for Konchesky at left-back before and Pearson said: "Paul will be missing but Jeff has been back with us training in the last two days.

"Jeff has done very well there for us so far this season. I would have absolutely no qualms about putting him in there.

"It is a grade-one tear so Paul will probably miss two or three games. We will just see how he responds. But at least we caught it at the right time.

"It was Paul's call at half-time in the Leeds game. We didn't see a great deal wrong in terms of how he was in the first half but he actually made the call himself at half time. It was a very sensible call and showed the experience he has.

"It is disappointing to lose a player who has been in very good form for us and has been consistent all season."

Matty James will again be missing with a knee injury but David Nugent is ready to soldier on despite his neck probem.

"Hopefully, Matty will be available around the same time as Paul," said Pearson.

"We are trying to manage his injury to make sure it is not going to be a long-term problem, and we are pleased with his progress. That would take us up to the international break.

"We want to pick up as many points between now and then. But it would be even better to go into the final run with a fully-fit squad.

"Nugent is okay. What you have to remember is that he is the type of player who will go out and play even when he is not right.

"He has been an important player for us. His enthusiasm and desire to go and do well is always there. He is only unavailable if it is clearly an absolute no-no. He remains upbeat and he is a very important member of our team."

City Mayor Sir Peter Soulsby has hit back after an Essex MP branded some of the contenders for the UK 2017 City of Culture crown "absolute dumps".

Tory MP David Amess, 60, is backing his home town of Southend-on-Sea to win the title and took to the airwaves to give a radio interview about its rivals, including Leicester.

Mr Amess said many of the cities hoping to win the title "wouldn't know culture if it was put in front of them".

He said: "I have looked at some of the competition and frankly they are absolute dumps, some of them."

Mr Amess, who represents Southend West, said the town had been "under-rated".

Sir Peter chairs a consortium putting together Leicester's bid to succeed Derry, in Northern Ireland, the current holder of the title.

The former Labour MP for Leicester South said: "I'm not sure if someone from Southend should be making that kind of comment about other cities. Somebody once remarked to me they had been to Southend and, even after three washes, could not get the smell of mud and fish out of their clothes.

"I once, for charity, walked from Southend to London. We left at midnight but I am assured that was the best time to see it."

Mr Amess, an MP for more than 30 years, said: "'Dump' is, of course, quite a strong word but I was being entirely tongue in cheek.

"What I would say is let battle commence! Of course, I think Southend will have the best bid.

"I did go to Leicester many, many years ago to Grace Road to watch some cricket. It was a lovely ground but frankly I don't remember much else about the city.

"I do think it is absolutely fantastic you've found Richard III – even if you concreted over him.

"I think you should have Keith (Vaz) leading your bid with his karaoke. Grease, wasn't it? Keith is a great friend of mine but I almost fell off my seat when I saw him singing."

Other contenders include Chester, Hull, Swansea Bay, Plymouth, Aberdeen, East Kent, Dundee, Portsmouth and Southampton and Hastings and Bexhill-on-Sea.

Pensioner Jan Leatherland, 65, from Aylestone, said: "I think it's extremely shortsighted to call anywhere a dump. If you look hard enough there are hidden cultural gems in almost every town and city.

"Leicester's might be a bit hard to spot to an outsider, but this is a chance to show them off."

All 11 areas must submit their bids by the end of April.

An independent panel will decide on a shortlist before the winner is announced in November. It is anticipated the victorious city will see a huge boost to its economy from extra visitors and tourists.

Most youngsters will be giving their mums chocolates and flowers for Mother's Day tomorrow – but not 10-year-old Edward Pinder.

Instead, the youngster will be throwing rather sharp knives at his brave mum, Erika.

Edward, of Bisbrooke, near Uppingham, in Rutland, is a knife-thrower for the family circus, which has just started its new season touring the country.

"I've been doing a lot of rehearsals and I think I'm quite accurate," he said. "I'm not nervous at all, but I think my mum is a little bit. When I get better I might start throwing some stars and axes and I might even get dad involved. The knives are about as sharp as kitchen knives, but I'm not allowed to use those ones at home."

Edward will be throwing the knives at his mum twice a day at weekends and during holidays during the coming months.

The act was performed for the first time in Stanford at the weekend and went down a storm with the crowd.

Erika said: "I was a bit nervous, but Edward was really calm and everything was fine – and the audience really enjoyed it.

"It was really, really scary when I was waiting for him to throw his first knife at me.

"I had seen him practice and knew he could throw in a straight line, but my heart was jumping, I was terrified."

Erika said there had been no accidents so far – but there had been a few close calls.

"Edward uses professional knives and they're really sharp – they have to be to stick into the wood," she said. "Edward knows it's a very dangerous act but it works because we both feel comfortable and both trust each other. Touch wood, we haven't had any accidents so far.

"When he's throwing the knives, he's in charge – he's the parent and I'm the child – but only for the few minutes of the act."

She said it would be an unusual way to spend Mother's Day.

"I'm hoping for flowers and chocolates, but I know I'll be getting the knives thrown at me in the ring first."

Dad Eddy is a clown in the family circus, called Pinders Circus. He believes Edward may be the youngest knife- thrower in Europe.

The circus, which includes jugglers, musical clowns, aerial acts, acrobats and dancers, will be in Cutts Close, Oakham, from Friday to Sunday.

Connor Wickham struck his first goal for Sheffield Wednesday to deal Leicester's npower Championship promotion chances another blow and boost his own side's survival hopes in a 1-0 win.

The 19-year-old striker, on loan from Sunderland, crashed home a volley from close range in the second half as Wednesday secured only their second win in their last six league matches.

Wickham, relegated to the role of substitute, stepped off the bench to apply a thumping finish to defender Lewis Buxton's cross and heap more pressure on Leicester manager Nigel Pearson, whose side's hopes of a top-two spot have faded in recent weeks.

The Foxes, who needed a stoppage-time header from on-loan Manchester United defender Michael Keane to salvage a point against Leeds in midweek, have now won only one of their last seven league matches.

Keane almost repeated the feat in the 81st minute, but this time his header from substitute Anthony Knockaert's corner hit the post.

Jeff Schlupp made his first start for Leicester since November at left-back and winger Ben Marshall returned to the side, while on-loan Swansea striker Leroy Lita and defender Reda Johnson were recalled by Wednesday.

Leicester striker David Nugent forced a superb early save from Owls goalkeeper Chris Kirkland with a dipping 20-yard shot and Keane headed Marshall's corner over the crossbar.

Nugent rifled another effort from outside the area wide before Wednesday responded with their first chance in the 12th minute, Lita flashing a header wide from Michail Antonio's cross.

But Kirkland was the busier of the two goalkeepers. Marshall fired in a shot from outside the penalty area straight at him and Leicester defender Ritchie De Laet tested him in similar fashion just before half-time.

Marshall provided another telling cross, this time for Harry Kane shortly after the restart, but the on-loan Tottenham forward headed tamely off target.

Leicester goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel was then forced into a rare save at the other end when Antonio drilled a shot straight at him from inside the area.

Owls defender Johnson had to go off injured and was replaced by Wickham just before the hour mark and Pearson sent on Knockaert for Kane soon after.

Marshall blazed a shot from 12 yards over the crossbar and Leicester were then punished for their missed chances.

Buxton swung the cross over from the right and Wickham crashed the ball into the roof of the net, on the volley, from eight yards.

Keane almost saved the day again in the 81st minute when his header from Knockaert's corner hit the post.

There was more woe for Leicester in the 86th minute when De Laet was forced off injured and replaced by Sean St Ledger.

Wednesday held on without any further near-misses to send the Foxes spinning to a third defeat in their last five home league matches.

A van driver who challenged a resident to report him for fly-tipping has been ordered to pay more than £800 after being prosecuted.

Alan Henderson was seen tipping turf and soil, and told the witness to go ahead and tell environment officers what he had done because they would not take action against him.

However, Charnwood Borough Council officials did act when they were informed of the incident, and took the fly-tipper to court.

Henderson (45) of Rennes Close, Ashby, admitted a fly-tipping charge when he appeared before Leicester magistrates.

He admitted dumping the waste in Sandhole Lane, Shepshed, on Tuesday, October 9.

In a statement to council officers, Henderson said: "I did have a permit to drop some waste, which I was doing, but I had some soil which they didn't take… and I dropped it there.

"I realise it's not the right thing to do but I took an opportunity. I've never dropped anything non-organic."

In court, Henderson apologised for the offence, saying he justified it in his mind by thinking it was just a few barrels of organic waste.

After receiving a summons which ordered him to remove the waste, it took Henderson 45 minutes to clean the area and correctly dispose of the material.

Magistrates fined him £400 and ordered him to pay court costs of £402.29.

Alan Twells, the council's head of regulatory services, said: "The council is committed to tracing fly-tippers and prosecuting them."

Anyone who witnesses fly-tipping should report it to the council on 01509 634563.

A woman received burns on her leg after Sheffield Wednesday supporters threw smoke canisters at Leicester City fans during the match at the King Power Stadium on Saturday.

Two men were arrested but were later released without any further action being taken. The woman received medical treatment at the ground for a slight burn to her leg.

A club spokesman said the smoke cannister that hurt the woman was one of two thrown by Wednesday fans into the City enclosure.

Dom Bray, 34, of Aylestone, Leicester, believes he was hit by the second.

"Two minutes before kick-off I felt something hit me in the back," he said. "When I turned around and saw the smoke I thought it might be a flare and could have melted my jacket or one of the seats.

"A few lads behind me came looking for it. They found it under the seat in front of me and threw it back – then it was chaos."

Dom reported the incident to club stewards at half-time.

"Fortunately, I wasn't hurt and didn't realise this lady had been until after the game," he said.

"It's bang out of order and makes me so angry – you don't go to a game expecting some missile to be thrown at you."

A Leicester City spokesman said: "Despite selective searching of visiting supporters upon entry, two smoke canisters were smuggled into the away end of the stadium and activated, resulting in one home supporter requiring examination for a minor injury to the lower leg.

"CCTV operators identified two suspects, who were arrested at the end of the game."

A Leicestershire Police spokesman said: "Two people were arrested in connection with this and have since been released with no further action."

A drunken man needed 10 police officers to restrain him after he took a knife into the street, a court heard.

Lee Buchanan was disturbed by two men arguing outside his flat and began demanding "compensation".

One of the men got into his car to drive away, but Buchanan clung on to the steering wheel, forcing him to stop.

The 27-year-old then grappled with the victim.

Alan Murphy, prosecuting, said: "The defendant had his hand inside the complainant's mouth, causing a cut in his mouth and on his left cheek."

Buchanan grabbed the ignition keys from the 32-year-old victim's car and ran back into his flat in Ashby Road, Loughborough. The police were called and an officer went to Buchanan's then home, in the early hours of November 11.

Mr Murphy told Leicester Crown Court: "The defendant was clearly wound up, shouting and became violent.

"He grabbed the officer in a headlock and tried to push him down the stairs. It took 10 police officers to control him."

The car keys were recovered, along with a knife.

Buchanan, of Knightthorpe Road, Loughborough, was jailed for 12 months.

He admitted causing an affray in the street, possessing a knife and assaulting the officer.

In mitigation, the court heard Buchanan had been drinking and, after previous late-night disturbances outside his home, he "snapped in a moment of madness".

A robber who is still in prison seven years after he was jailed for a minimum of two has lost his bid for release.

Lewis Charles Welsh (27) was locked up in March 2006 after he admitted robbery and two attempted robberies, committed on the University of Leicester campus.

He was jailed for at least two years, but is still inside as the judge thought there was a significant risk of him causing serious harm in the future.

He gave Welsh an indefinite detention for public protection (DPP) sentence, which requires parole board approval before release.

Five years after the expiry of his minimum term, Welsh's case was back in court last week.

However, at the Court of Appeal in London, Lord Justice Pitchford dismissed his appeal.

Welsh's problems began when he was a child, when he was neglected and subjected to "violent outbursts from his mother", the appeal judge said.

It led to periods in care and foster homes and a very early beginning to his life of crime.

After serving sentences for low-level street robberies, Welsh was released on licence in October 2005.

Less than a month later, he was offending again, threatening to stab two men in incidents on the university campus.

Both got away without losing any of their property, but a third victim was punched and handed over a phone and £30.

At the hearing last week, Welsh's barrister, Stephen Field, argued the crown court judge was wrong to find Welsh "dangerous", a legal term meaning there was a "significant" risk of him causing serious harm. But Lord Justice Pitchford said the appeal had to be decided on details available to the sentencing judge.

A police investigation has concluded a man's death on Sunday night was not suspicious.

Police and paramedics were called to a house in Avenue Road Extension, Clarendon Park, Leicester, shortly after 8pm.

Emergency services went to the house, near the junction with Queens Road, after receiving a report raising concern for a man's welfare.

A 39-year-old man was taken to Leicester Royal Infirmary, where he was later pronounced dead.

A 43-year-old man arrested in connection with the death was released yesterday afternoon.

Leicestershire Police confirmed the death was not being treated as suspicious and the detained man had been released from custody.

Neighbour Anthony Carter said: "The ambulance people were rushing in and out of the house and then they brought a man out on a stretcher. They were pumping his chest, doing what they could to save him."

Another resident, who asked not to be named, said: "The police and their forensic people were coming and going from the house all day today."

A police spokeswoman said officers were preparing evidence for the coroner.

Ellistown have raised their game in a bid to fight clear of relegation.

They have responded to an upturn in form from one of their rivals, Ibstock United, who have also begun to find a way of winning games.

Both can see light at the end of the tunnel having posted important wins on Saturday.

Ellistown did it in spectacular fashion as they hammered bottom side Radford 8-2.

It was considerably harder work for United, but they banked the points after they edged out Gedling Miners Welfare 3-2.

Darren Ruston led the way for Ellistown with a hat-trick. Carl Timms added a couple while a dominant display was rounded off by Joe Watts, Oliver Hancock and Courtney Bartley.

Tom Rowell, Andy Pell and Chris Rudkin combined for United, who may remain one place off the bottom but are beginning to gather momentum.

Anstey Nomads and St Andrews still have work to do if they are to remain free from worries in the lower reached.

A last-minute penalty from Sam Surridge earned Nomads a point as they drew 2-2 at home to Greenwood Meadows. Oliver Preston scored their other goal.

Andrews found in-form Thurnby Rangers too hot to handle at Dakyn Road and the home side emerged comfortable 5-1 victors.

Reece Morris and Ash Day both hit braces, Jouel Potter completing Thurnby's win.

Holwell Sports are going nicely and they claimed a 3-2 win over Graham St Prims at Welby Road. Jay Kirby, Sam Bettison and Liam Chapman were on the mark for Sports.

There was no joy for Bardon Hill Sports as they were beaten by the only goal at Borrowash Victoria.

Blaby & Whetstone Athletic and Aylestone Park had to settle for a point apiece at Warwick Road.

Having been 2-0 down, Blaby might be the happier of the two – though dropping two points has further dented their hopes of a top-three finish.

Lee Barrett netted twice in the last 10 minutes to salvage a point after Sam Taylor and Kieron Neat had put Park in charge.

Aylestone are due to meet Holwell in the Jelson Homes Senior Cup semi-final at Barrow this evening (7.30pm).

A teenager who was diagnosed with cancer in 2010 will take part in her first Race for Life this summer since being given the all-clear.

Paris Tompkins is urging other people to join her in the event at Leicester's Victoria Park on June 30, which raises money for Cancer Research UK.

Paris, who lives in Aylestone, developed a lump on her neck in 2010.

Her first treatment, involving the removal of her thyroid gland and a course of radioactive pills while isolated in a hospital room in London for a week, failed to destroy the cancerous growth, which was about the size of a ping pong ball.

In 2011, she had to undergo the same treatment again but not before completing her first Race for Life, in Leicester.

The second round of treatment seemed to be a success and Paris was back at Western Park for the Leicester Race for Life last year.

This year she will get to do her first Race for Life having been given the all-clear and join thousands of women at the new venue, Victoria Park, on Sunday, June 30, to complete the 5km run.

"I was totally shocked that cancer could happen to me," said Paris, who is studying A-levels at Wyggeston & Queen Elizabeth I College and wants to eventually work in medicine.

"I had to go to London for iodine treatment which effectively made me radioactive, so I wasn't allowed any cutlery and I had to destroy all my clothes afterwards.

"Even when I went home, I had to sit in my bedroom for three weeks and not get too near to people.

"Finding out I had to go through all that a second time was a real blow, but I'd done it once so I knew I could do it again.

"That course of treatment made me very tired but it was good that it started the day after my first Race for Life. I wanted to take part to give something back because research is so vital. Without it I may not have survived.

"It was lovely to see so many people coming together and makes you realise just how many people are affected by cancer. That's why I want to encourage anyone who can to join me."

Every hour, about three people are diagnosed with cancer in the East Midlands.

Katie Martin, Cancer Research UK's Leicestershire events manager, said: "It doesn't matter how fit or fast you are. Taking part is about joining together against a disease that affects all of us."
