TORONTO Will Fuller V Texans Jersey , May 3 (Xinhua) -- Toronto FC striker Jermain Defoe returned to action in the team's 2-1 loss against New England Revolution in Major League Soccer action on Saturday afternoon.


The 31-year-old London native returned from a hamstring injury sustained in the team's third game of the season on March 29 against Real Salt Lake. The injury sidelined Defoe for the team's following three matches.

WASHINGTON， June 13 (Xinhua) -- What supporters of U.S. political outsider Bernie Sanders will do could be crucial for deciding who wins the White House race in 2016， experts said.
