City's Robinho walks out of practice

Soccer Betting Lines

01/20/2009 - Manchester, England (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Manchester City has confirmed that Brazilian ace Robinho has walked out of the club's training camp in Tenerife.

The 24-year-old is rumored to have stormed out after an argument with manager Mark Hughes, with further reports suggesting that he was heading home to Brazil.

The $44.5 million signing from Real Madrid has been a major success for the Citizens this season, scoring 12 goals in 20 appearances for Hughes' side.

However, the club are now reeling from a massive double blow, with Robinho's tantrum coming hot on the heels of AC Milan ace Kaka having rejected a world record move to Eastlands.

Robinho had been linked with a move to Chelsea before he opted to head to Manchester and the Stamford Bridge club have been linked with a renewed approach for the talented forward.

Owens broke the bone leading to his right ring finger Sunday night and had a plate surgically attached to it Monday.

MySportsbook.com online sportsbook listed Terrell Owens with odds of 7-2 (or $7 paid out for every $2 bet) to return back for the game against Tennessee.

"I certainly wouldn't rule it out now," Parcells said, referring to Terrell Owens immediate return. "Maybe five days from now I might, but I wouldn't rule it out now. ... I know we're looking to try to get him moving around pretty good in the next day or so. So we'll see where we are."

Owens did not speak with reporters Wednesday, but said Sunday he'd be out two to four weeks. A return against the Titans would be 13 days after the surgery. The Cowboys were listed as an early -7 1/2 favorite vs. the Tennessee Titans for Week 4 at MySportsbook.com
