Nigeria captain Vincent Enyeama hopes to bow out on a high after confirming that the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations in Gabon will be his last.

The 32-year-old goalkeeper, who plays his club football for French side Lille, made his debut against Kenya in May 2002 and has gone on to win 100 caps.
Enyeama played a major role when the Super Eagles won the 2013 Nations Cup in South Africa and he wants a repeat in 2017.
It crossed my mind to leave after the World Cup in Brazil but crucially now I want to leave on a high by going all the way with my country on a successful ride
"It's impossible to play football forever and the next tournament in Gabon will be my last one," Enyeama told BBC Sport.
"I've lost in the semi-final in 2004, won in 2013 and to win in 2017 is how I hope to be remembered.
"But more significantly we must not get ahead of ourselves because we need to qualify first."
As reigning champions Nigeria could not defend their title in Equatorial Guinea early this year after failing to qualify for the tournament.
The Super Eagles have been drawn in one of the toughest-looking groups for the 2017 Nations Cup qualifiers, alongside seven-time champions Egypt, Chad and Tanzania.
But as the Super Eagles host Chad in Kaduna on Saturday, Enyeama insists they must prevent another troubled campaign.
"You can never underestimate any opponent in African football and we must treat Chad like other top oppositions in world football," he said.
"Some of our fans are still upset and the only way to earn back their respect is to give them a reason to believe again.
"We are all determined to qualify for the Nations Cup, and after the tournament I can say a proper goodbye.
"It crossed my mind to leave after the World Cup in Brazil but crucially now I want to leave on a high by going all the way with my country on a successful ride."
Enyeama has played in five Nations Cup tournaments for three-time African champions Nigeria in 2004, 2006, 2008, 2010 and 2013.
He was part of the Nigeria squad at the 2002, 2010 and 2014 World Cup tournaments.


A four-year-old girl has been hit by a car that was reportedly "driven at speed away from the scene".

The girl is being treated in hospital for grazes, cuts and bruises following the incident in Oxford on Monday.
Police are hunting for the car - believed to a black or dark-coloured Audi - which did not stop after the crash in Mortimer Road, close to Nowell Road junction, at about 16:15 GMT.
Witnesses are urged to contact Thames Valley Police.
PC Daniel Watford of the Roads Policing Unit said: "It is hard to believe that a driver would not stop at the scene following an accident, especially when a young child is involved.
"I would therefore appeal to anyone who may have any information, no matter how insignificant they think it might be, to search their conscience and contact police."

A court in Bangladesh has sentenced 26 people, three of them officers of an elite police unit, to death for seven politically-motivated murders in 2014.

The victims were abducted outside a cricket stadium in Narayanganj during a power struggle in the city.
Their bodies were found three days later floating in a river, their bellies sliced open.
Local politician Nur Hossain was among those sentenced to hang for paying the police unit to kill political rivals.
It's thought to be the first time members of the notorious Rapid Action Battalion have received the death penalty.  One of the three officers, Tarek Sayeed, is the son-in-law of a government minister.
Many other defendants in the case were regular policemen.
Witnesses saw the murdered men, who included local government officials, being bundled into an unmarked van in Narayanganj in April 2014.
A lawyer who filmed the abductions was himself seized, along with his driver. Their bodies were later found with the others in the river.
Among those killed was local councillor Nazrul Islam, a political rival of Nur Hossain.
Hossain, an Awami League politician, was last week repatriated to Bangladesh from India. He was found guilty of paying senior RAB members cash to carry out the abductions and killings.
Twelve of those found guilty were convicted in absentia. Nine others received prison sentences.
The killings caused nationwide shock and sparked a wave of protests.
The Bangladesh Daily Star has quoted the main prosecuting lawyer in the case as welcoming the death penalties and calling for them to be implemented as speedily as possible.
It could be many years before the men exhaust the legal appeals process, the BBC's Waliur Rahman in Dhaka says.
It was formed in 2004 to take the lead in crime fighting in Bangladesh and recruits its personnel from the army, navy, police and other forces.
The unit has been implicated in hundreds of killings in recent years.
Successive governments have argued it is in the forefront of the fight against militants and criminals, and faces dangerous gunmen.
Human rights campaigners want the government to investigate more than 300 cases of people who have gone missing in RAB custody since 2009.
It is not clear how many RAB members are among the 25 policemen sentenced to death in the case.


The number of anti-Semitic incidents in the UK rose by 11% in the first six months of this year, charity figures have suggested.

The Community Security Trust said 557 incidents targeting Jews were reported to the charity from January to June, up from 500 in the same period last year.
The charity's chief executive, David Delew, said it was a "worrying trend".
Home Secretary Amber Rudd condemned the "deplorable rise" of incidents, which included 41 violent assaults.
The CST, which has compiled data on anti-Semitic hate incidents in the UK since 1984, said there was no "obvious single cause" for the high number.
It said that just under a quarter of all the incidents recorded - 133 - involved the use of social media.
Its report said social media had become an "essential tool" for those who wish to harass, abuse and threaten Jewish public figures.
A total of 431 incidents were in the abusive behaviour category and this included verbal abuse, anti-Semitic graffiti, abuse via social media and one-off cases of hate mail.
The charity also recorded 32 incidents of damage and desecration of Jewish property, 43 direct threats, and 10 cases of mass-mailed leaflets or emails.
Mr Delew said:  "This rise in reported anti-Semitism comes at a time when division, intolerance and prejudice appear to be deepening within our society.
"Reversing this worrying trend requires real leadership from all political parties, and for the social media companies to take their share of the responsibility."
More than three-quarters of the incidents were recorded in Greater London and Greater Manchester.
However, the 62 that took place in Greater Manchester represented a 54% drop compared with the first half of last year.
The report said that April, May and June "did see sustained public debate about anti-Semitism, particularly in relation to the Labour Party, and about racism and extremism more generally".
Labour's inquiry into anti-Semitism followed the suspension of MP Naz Shah and ex-London mayor Ken Livingstone amid anti-Semitism claims in April.
It found that the Labour Party was not overrun by anti-Semitism or other forms of racism, but there was an "occasionally toxic atmosphere".
Last year, the CST said there were 473 anti-Semitic incidents from January to June 2015. The number was updated to 500 in its most recent set of figures following new information.
Home Secretary Amber Rudd said: "I condemn the deplorable rise in anti-Semitic hate incidents in the first half of this year and will continue to work with law enforcement partners and with the Jewish community to ensure their safety and security."
She announced a review of police handling of hate crime in July, after a sharp rise in incidents following the EU referendum.
Shadow home secretary Andy Burnham said: "There are worrying increases in incidents of anti-Semitic behaviour as many forms of hate crime rise across the country too."
Labour MP John Mann, chairman of the all-party parliamentary group against anti-Semitism, said: "This is a worrying rise in incidents set against a backdrop of increasing hate crime across the country."


Manchester City need to improve their concentration, manager Manuel Pellegrini said after his team's 2-1 home defeat by West Ham.

City won their opening five matches but have suffered back-to-back defeats by Juventus and the Hammers this week.
"In the last two games we didn't play with the concentration or intensity we had shown in the first five games," said the 62-year-old Chilean.
"We have 96 points left to play for - there's a long time to go."
City lost their first game of the season when Italian champions Juventus fought back from a goal down to win 2-1 in their Champions League opener on Tuesday.
Pellegrini's side were aiming to return to winning ways against a side which had already earned away wins at Arsenal and Liverpool this season.
But they missed the chance to move six points clear at the top of the Premier League table, slipping to their first top-flight defeat in 12 matches.
"We must concentrate more because two balls decided the result," Pellegrini said.
Hammers loanee Victor Moses drilled in a low 20-yard shot and Diafra Sakho hooked in from six yards, before City's record signing Kevin De Bruyne fired in to halve the deficit.
"I'm frustrated as they were three very important points at home," Pellegrini added.
"They won their two away games before this game against Arsenal and Liverpool so I knew it would not be easy but we conceded two easy goals and that allowed them to be in front.
"We never believed we had won the title after just five games - we just always focus on the next game."
West Ham's perfect Premier League away record after beating Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City is a dream, admits Hammers manager Slaven Bilic.
"It is a surprise to us as well that we have beaten Liverpool, Arsenal and Man City," said the 47-year-old Croatian.
"Nine points from the first three away games sounds like a dream, not a plan. There's nothing wrong with a dream."

Former West Ham defender Bilic, who replaced Sam Allardyce in the summer, guided his team to a 2-0 win at Arsenal on the opening weekend, then to a 3-0 success at Liverpool.
But they recorded arguably the biggest shock by beating a City team which had scored 11 goals, conceding none, in their opening five matches.
City dominated the game, controlling 72% of possession and attempting 27 shots at goal, but were unable to find a way past the Hammers who are now three points behind them in second place.
"We deserved to win," said Bilic. "City played much better in the second half and it was almost like The Alamo.
"But I have told my players to be proud, we deserved it, and we kept the ball when they let us.
"When City are losing and start to play faster and apply more pressure, it is hard to cope with. That's why I'm so proud - all credit to my boys."
Hammers centre-back Winston Reid drew praise from Bilic - a former Croatia defender - after being instrumental in helping his team clinch their fourth win of the league season.
The New Zealand international, 27, made the most clearances (20) and interceptions (five) during the match, while he also won back possession for his side (nine) more than any other player.
"Winston Reid was always in the right place - it was like there were two Reid brothers on the pitch!" said Bilic.


The amount paid by English clubs to agents has risen by 38% in a year - up from £160m to £220m.

Media playback is not supported on this device
The Premier League paid £174m to agents, up from £130m, with Manchester City being the biggest spenders (£26.3m) ahead of Chelsea (£25.1m) and Manchester United (£19m).
England's second tier, the Championship, spent £42.4m on agents, an increase of 62%.
The Football Association figures cover from February 2016 to January 2017.
They come two years after the last full-year results (2014-15).
Premier League teams spent a record £1.38bn on transfers in the 2016-17 season - a 43% increase on transfer spending from the 2014-15 season.
In both League One and League Two the total spending on agents and intermediaries decreased from the 2014-15 figures.
League One sides spent £3,098,508, down from £3,167,964, while League Two teams spent £821,450, down from £1,007,920.
Liverpool led the Premier League in agents' fees when the last full-year results were published for the period 1 October 2014 to 30 September 2015, but the Reds' spending has decreased from £14.3m to £13.8 for the 2016-17 period.
Manchester City now top the Premier League list with £26,3m, up from £12.4m, followed by Chelsea, who have also more than doubled their spending on agents' fees, up from £12m to £25.1m.
Manchester United (£19m) and Arsenal (£10.2m) complete the top five, while Tottenham's outlay has risen from £6m to £7.2m.
Yet despite being considered part of the Premier League's 'big six' clubs, Spurs trail behind West Ham (£9.5m) and Bournemouth (£7.4m) in agents' fees paid for 2016-17.
Former England, West Ham and QPR winger Trevor Sinclair
I was very fortunate. I met a good agent quite early on in my career after some bad experiences. He took care of negotiations, which is standard, made sure I was pitching myself at the right amount of money to be earning weekly, monthly, annually.
On top of that he helped me with financial advice, he helped me with marketing, exit strategies when I finished football, and also just day-to-day things. He was always preaching to do your best and try to look after yourself.
The influence that agents have got now in the game is unbelievable. You look at some of the biggest clubs in the UK and Europe, and there are certain super agents who, for me, have too much power.
In relation to deals, I think the money should be capped in some way. If you're doing a deal for a player moving for £1m, why would there be another £1m going missing to agents' fees? It's unacceptable, for me, that kind of money going out of the game, when that could be easily used for grassroots football.
Jonathan Barnett of the Stellar Group
Agents have a bad reputation because nobody really understands what an agent does and that includes, probably, the FA. It's not deserved. More MPs have committed illegal acts than agents. I think it's unjust, a very unjust one.
People get confused when they hear of an agent. They think it's somebody that does transfers, runs around from one club to another trying to sell players. They are more traders and brokers. There are very few of those agents and very few that really matter.
However, what we are as an agency and what other reputable companies are, are people who look after players. We don't look after clubs. We don't look after anybody else, we look after the player. And by that, we make sure their life is properly run, any problems are taken care of and their life is made very easy so that all they can do is concentrate on playing football.
We get paid for what we're worth. If we do a good job for our player then we get paid. If we do a bad job, we don't. There are plenty of agents who don't earn a living. You've got to be good at what you do and then you get paid rightly.
Stoke City chairman Peter Coates
Football clubs, especially top clubs, are getting more and more income, so what happens? Players get bigger and bigger wages, and agents therefore get bigger and bigger fees. It's a product of the marketplace we're in, so I'm not surprised.
I wish it were less, but we're in a marketplace that is highly competitive. We've never been able to get any traction and get an agreement to say we'll all dock pay more than X, whether it's 5%, 10% or whatever the figure could be. There seems a reluctance to go down that route. There's no other way we could perhaps rein in what agents get.
There are good agents, less good agents and they can earn huge amounts of money. That sometimes can attract the wrong sort of person because the prize is so high. It's one of those facts of life. We wish it was different, but we seem incapable of controlling it. All clubs do their best, obviously we don't want to pay any more than we have to. But it's a tough market. They play the field, which they're entitled to, and it's not easy.


Some of the biggest names in rock and pop music have paid tribute to Chris Cornell following the Soundgarden star's suicide.

Cornell was found dead in his hotel room after performing a show in Detroit on Wednesday evening. Officials later confirmed he had hanged himself.
Singer Alice Cooper called him "the best voice in rock and roll" while Sir Elton John said he was "a great singer, songwriter and the loveliest man".
Cornell, 52, had three children.
He was a lead singer and songwriter in the groups Soundgarden and Audioslave.
His best-known song was Black Hole Sun, released in 1994.
When he recorded You Know My Name for the 2006 film Casino Royale, he became the first male American artist to write a theme song for a James Bond film.
Soundgarden were due to headline a rock music festival called Pointfest in St Louis on Saturday but organisers have called off the event.
The Wayne County Medical Examiner's Office confirmed in a statement on Thursday that the frontman killed himself..
Sir Elton wrote on Instagram: "Shocked and saddened by the sudden death of Chris Cornell. A great singer, songwriter and the loveliest man."
Alice Cooper said: "Chris Cornell, in our circle, was known as The Voice because he had the best voice in rock and roll.
"I was lucky enough to write and record two songs with him. His death comes as a total shock to all of us.
"Black Hole Sun will live on as a classic, and his is a true legacy of rock and roll."
Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page tweeted: "RIP Chris Cornell. Incredibly talent. Incredibly young. Incredibly missed."
Bill Idol tweeted: "Sad to hear of Chris Cornell passing, great singer and artist ... another blow ...RIP."
Disco producer Nile Rodgers called Cornell "my special brother" and said he could not process the news of his death.
"I'm shocked, I don't even know how to deal with it," he said.
Creed guitarist Mark Tremonti tweeted: "Chris was the most influential singer to me as a writer.  I just saw him perform days ago.  Completely devastated."
Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry wrote: "Very sad news about Chris Cornell today. A sad loss of a great talent to the world, his friends and family. Rest In Peace."
Singer-songwriter John Mayer called him "an incredibly talented and inventive singer".
And comedian Ed Byrne called Cornell's death "an unexpected gut punch".

The brother of Karen Danczuk has been jailed for 15 years for a series of sex attacks on her and two other victims.

Michael Burke, 37, from Rochdale, was earlier found guilty of eight counts of rape and another serious sexual offence over an 18-year-period.
Ms Danczuk, 33, the estranged wife of MP Simon Danczuk, waived her right to anonymity as a sexual offence victim.
Burke was cleared of nine other serious sexual offences after a three-week trial at Manchester Crown Court.
He had claimed his accusers were involved in a "conspiracy" against him.
Following sentencing, Ms Danczuk tweeted a tribute to the other two victims, describing their courage as "inspirational".
She also thanked the police and the prosecution barrister for their support during the criminal proceedings.
She added: "There are no winners in this case however my healing starts now and I am pleased there is now closure."
Ms Danczuk had previously branded her brother a "monster" who had "robbed" her of her childhood and made her suicidal.
During the trial, the mother-of-two told the court her brother abused her at the family home in Middleton, near Rochdale, from the age of six or seven - progressing to rape when she was aged 11 - until she was in her mid-teens.
Passing sentence, Judge Andrew Gilbart said: "She was your little sister, over whom you held sway.
"Your actions affected her emotionally, well into adulthood.
"You groomed her. Your little sister was your playmate and susceptible to anything you suggested. You have shown not a shred of remorse."


The exterior of a church known for its tall tower has been lit up for the first time in two years after it was flooded.

St Botolph's Church, known as Boston Stump, was badly damaged following a tidal surge in 2013 that hit the Lincolnshire town of Boston.
The floodlights were replaced but the switch-on was put in doubt when two lights were stolen.
Reverend Alyson Buxton said it was "fantastic" to see the church lit up.
"We've all been so excited for this moment," she said.
"It's wonderful to see so many people here who've had a wonderful service inside. There's at least 400 people here so it's absolutely fantastic."
The lights were switched on by BBC Radio Lincolnshire presenters Carla George and Scott Dalton.
Peter Sherlock, who gave the church Â£2,000 to reinstall the stolen lights, was among those present and said the service was "very moving".
He is still offering a reward of Â£2,000 for information about who stole the lights.
Matt Warman, the Boston and Skegness MP, was also there.
"A lot of Boston's heritage is about this building and it's hugely significant for everyone," he said.
"It's been a long time since the floods that turned these lights off and I think people are now finally starting to see that we are able to get past that and to show people that Boston is unquenchable."


Hillary Clinton has vowed she will never give up as she hit the campaign trail again following a three-day rest after being diagnosed with pneumonia.

Speaking at a rally in Greensboro, North Carolina, the Democratic nominee said her time off was a gift, allowing her to reflect on the campaign.
She walked on stage to the sound of James Brown's I Feel Good to deliver a speech on the economy.
Polls indicate a tightening White House race, with 54 days to election day.
Mrs Clinton's return comes a day after her doctor said she was "healthy and fit".
A history of US presidential bad health
She told a boisterous crowd at Thursday's rally: "With just two months to go until election day, sitting at home was pretty much the last place I want to be."
"People accuse me of all kinds of things," she added, "you probably have seen that, but nobody ever accuses me of quitting and I will never give up, I'll never walk away, no matter how tough the going gets."
The 68-year-old said she felt "lucky" that she could afford to take a few days off, compared with the millions of Americans who could not.
At a brief press conference afterwards, Mrs Clinton was asked whether she had shared details of her pneumonia diagnosis with her running mate, Tim Kaine.
She appeared to parse her words carefully as she replied that "many senior staff knew and information was provided to a number of people".
"This was an ailment that many people just power through," she continued, "and that's what I thought I would do as well."
She then jetted off to a give a speech at an event in Washington DC.
The race has focused on both candidates' state of health and medical records in recent days.
As countless thousands of armchair physicians looked on, Hillary Clinton took to the campaign trail for the first time since her near-collapse on Sunday. It was a speech where "optics" mattered at least as much as what she said. Did she look healthy? Was her voice strong?
Aside from a bit of hoarseness, Mrs Clinton hit her marks - a sharp contrast from the wobbly figure helped into a van on Sunday. If she keeps this up, her health concerns will likely recede into the background.
Perhaps more notably from a strategic perspective was Mrs Clinton's humbler, more personal tone.
She admitted her faults, but said one of her strengths was never quitting. Early on, she pivoted from talking about her illness to the struggles of Americans who can't afford quality healthcare.
Although she took swipes at Donald Trump, she only referred to him as "my opponent". As she told the press after her speech, she wants to give Americans "something to vote for, not just against".
Her campaign has relentlessly bashed Mr Trump over the past months, but she seems to be acknowledging that this alone may not be enough to win her the presidency.
On Thursday, Donald Trump released a letter from his doctor saying he is in "excellent physical health", albeit overweight.
The Republican nominee earlier this year released a brief memo from the same physician asserting he would be "the healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency".
The 70-year-old businessman also discussed his health with Dr Mehmet Oz during a taped episode of the medical chat show, which aired on Thursday.
At a rally in Ohio on Wednesday, Mr Trump used Mrs Clinton's recent health scare to cast doubt on her stamina.
He said: "I don't know folks, do you think Hillary Clinton would be able to stand up here for an hour?"
On Sunday, she  had to be helped into a van after abruptly leaving the World Trade Center memorial after aides said she felt "overheated".

June's soaring temperatures boosted supermarket sales by record levels and sent overheated Britons in search of ice cream.

Research firm Nielsen said major retailers enjoyed the largest annual revenue rise for four years, up 4% compared to June last year.
Sales of hand-held ice creams rose by 24% as the UK basked in its hottest June since 1976.
More people also dined al fresco, with demand for quiche up 11%.
Mike Watkins, Nielsen's UK head of retailer and business insight, said: "The early summer weather gave supermarkets a much-needed shot in the arm."
A separate report from research firm Kantar Worldpanel pointed to inflation as the driver behind the fast growth in grocery sales, in addition to the warmer weather.
Kantar's figures suggested an even sharper rise in sales, up 5%, comparing the 12 weeks to mid-June with the same period in 2016.
Grocery prices rose 3.2% over that period, said Fraser McKevitt, Kantar Worldpanel's head of retail and consumer insight, which amounted to an extra £133 on the average household's annual shopping bill.
"Butter and fish fans will be feeling price increases most keenly; butter is almost 20% more expensive than last year while farmed salmon supply issues have been among the factors contributing to a 14% price rise across fresh and tinned fish," said Mr McKevitt.
All four of the UK's biggest supermarkets reported higher sales over the three months to mid-June compared to the same period last year - the first time this has happened for about four years. Nielsen's figures suggested Tesco was the biggest riser with trade up 4.2%, while Kantar's figures put it at a more modest 3.5% with Morrisons growing more rapidly at 3.7%.
Outside the big four supermarket chains, sales growth was also boosted by the hot weather. According to Nielsen, Iceland's sales for the three months rose by 9%.
At the other end of the market, Nielsen said both Waitrose and Marks & Spencer also attracted more customers, with revenues up by 4.5% and 6.2% respectively.
Mr Watkins said: "Looking ahead, a continuation in both the warm and dry weather and creeping inflation means growth should be maintained at around 3% for at least the next few weeks."


People who watch BBC programmes only on iPlayer will be required to buy a TV licence to view the content from 1 September.

Previously a licence was only needed to watch live broadcasts, so catch-up content was technically exempt from the Â£145.50 annual fee.
But due to a change in the law, a licence will be needed to download or watch BBC programmes on demand.
Those who already have a TV licence will not be affected.
The change comes after the government said it wanted to modernise the current system, so those watching catch-up TV do not get "a free ride".
"When the licence fee was invented, video on demand did not exist," former Culture Secretary John Whittingdale said in March.
"The BBC works on the basis that all who watch it pay for it. Giving a free ride to those who enjoy Sherlock or Bake Off an hour, a day or a week after they are broadcast was never intended and is wrong."
The new rules apply to all devices used to access iPlayer - including laptops, smartphones, tablets, TV streaming devices and games consoles, as well as through third-party services such as Sky, Virgin or BT.
However, a TV licence will still not be needed for watching other on demand services, such as ITV Player, All4, My5 or Netflix.
TV Licensing said fewer than 2% of households would be affected by the change and would "not affect the huge majority of households which are already licensed".
It added all unlicensed households would be notified of the change in law and a publicity campaign to promote awareness will be carried out before 1 September.
TV Licensing is also pushing awareness for students, many of whom will be affected at the start of the new academic year.


The parents of a woman who died while in the care of a mental health unit have criticised managers after further failings were identified by inspectors.

Sally Ann Vye died after going missing from the Bradgate Mental Health Unit in Leicester last year.
In July, the Care Quality Commission (CQC) identified a number of continuing problems with patient care.
Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust said it was working hard to resolve the issues.
The unit has seen 10 suicides since 2010. Inquests have highlighted repeated failings by staff.
During the latest inspection, it was found that some problems were caused because staff had not completed risk assessments.
In one case, the details of a patient with a history of alcohol misuse "who appeared to have had a drink" were not included in the risk assessment.
This meant the patient was able to continue on unescorted leave.
The CQC report also found some paperwork which had been completed was unreadable because of the handwriting.
Following a public meeting with the trust on Thursday to discuss progress, Marilyn and Ron Vye said: "We were very disappointed that it was necessary to come.
"Changes that had been promised to have been brought about at the unit at Sally's inquest still haven't taken place."
The inquest into her death found that despite the known existence of a "real and immediate risk" to Miss Vye's life from self-harm, she was able to go missing.
She remained undetected for nearly eight hours due to not being properly observed in accordance with her needs, the coroner said.
Ms Vye, 39, died at Beachy Head, Sussex after leaving the Bradgate Unit.
The trust's acting chief executive Sue Noyes admitted "it had been a dark few weeks" following the inspection.
However, she said: "What I can assure people of is the commitment of the trust board, the executive team and all the staff to rectify this."
She added: "We fully accept the CQC findings, recognise the severity of this situation and are being transparent in all aspects of its response.
"This latest CQC visit reinforces that, while several wards have maintained good performance, this performance has not been consistently maintained across all wards at the unit."
The trust said it had already implemented a number of improvements following the CQC inspection, including reviewing in depth how each individual's needs and risks are assessed and documented.
It was also announced that Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust was shelving plans for foundation status, which would have enabled the trust to control its own finances.
Zuffar Haq, from the Leicester Patients' Panel, said: "We do not have any foundation trust status hospitals in Leicestershire and it is a huge problem.
"We have a system that isn't working well and things need to improve - patients need to get a better service."


Sussex collected their first win of the One-Day Cup campaign as their score of 292-6 proved far too demanding for Glamorgan at Hove.

After a rain break, Glamorgan were set a revised target of 281 in 43 overs, but were bowled out for 221.
Danny Briggs claimed three wickets for 53 runs and a run-out before Chris Cooke's hard-hit 62 reduced the margin.
Earlier Sussex's innings was built round Stiaan van Zyl's 96 and Ben Brown's 60, in a stand of 115.
Glamorgan's Marchant de Lange, with 3-51, slowed down the late charge from the hosts.
The South African paceman was the pick of the Glamorgan bowlers, as Sussex made the most of the short boundary on one side.
New recruit Van Zyl made his runs off just 88 balls before skying a catch as he went for his century, allowing David Wiese to club three sixes in the late home onslaught.
Glamorgan lost early wickets and Jacques Rudolph and Kiran Carlson's promising 72-run fourth-wicket stand was broken when Carlson, on 40, became a second run-out victim after William Bragg was out for a duck earlier on.
The visitors were left depending on in-form captain Rudolph, but his dismissal for 51 marked the end of any substantial Glamorgan victory hopes, as spinner Briggs took vital wickets either side of the rain-break.
Chris Cooke provided some late entertainment for the Welsh county, with 62 off 47 balls, without provoking any doubt as to the result.
Sussex batsman Stiaan van Zyl told BBC Sussex:
"It's been a difficult start since I joined the club, I think this win is great for us, and for me as well to get some runs under the belt, so hopefully we can carry this momentum into the next game.
"Our game-plan is for one or two to bat through, that's my role in the team and then other guys can smack it around, we've got more than enough power in the last ten overs.
"Ben Brown is a fantastic player, that eases my game because he's naturally free-scoring, it's like a natural game for him.
"The club is great, but it's been a difficult start on the pitch, the guys are finding their feet and they can put extra pressure on themselves so this win is great for us."
Glamorgan batsman/wicket-keeper Chris Cooke told BBC Wales Sport:
"A tough defeat to swallow there, it was always going to be tricky to chase down just under 300 on that wicket after their batters played very well.
"With one short boundary, we were in with a shout but we lost a few wickets before the rain, then when there's nothing to lose you can be a bit more fearless, I got a few out of the middle but it was always going to be tough.
"Mark Wallace's gloves are big ones to fill, and with the cold weather and quick bowlers I've had to resort to another pair of inners (gloves), so a few sore fingers but it's otherwise been ok.
"My back's been alright (after an injury in 2016), I hope to carry on (keeping full-time) and I don't see any reason why I can't."


Leicester Tigers captain Tom Youngs has denied reports that a "player coup" was the reason for director of rugby Richard Cockerill's dismissal.

Cockerill, 46, was sacked on 2 January after nearly eight years leading the Premiership club, which he first joined as a coach in 2004.
Head coach Aaron Mauger has been placed in charge until the end of the season.
"There's not been a revolt or anything like that, it's just speculation," Youngs said.
"The board are in contact with us senior boys, and they ask you all sorts of different questions.
"You ask them what are we looking to do, who are we looking to sign, where is the club going, and you have those conversations."
Former New Zealand and Leicester centre Mauger, 36, who was appointed head coach in November 2014, said he was "sad" to see Cockerill depart the club despite admitting to disagreements over how the team was coached.
"We always knew when I was coming into the role that we're very different with different styles, and a lot of those contrasts have been really good for us and I think good for the group," Mauger continued.
"I think at other times it's probably been those fundamental differences about philosophies and different things you do, sometimes you're pulling in different directions.
"It can be a little bit draining and can probably lack a little bit of clarity of message for the people around you, which has potentially been a bit of an issue."
Meanwhile, Leicester have appointed former players Brett Deacon, as a defence and forwards coach, and Boris Stankovich as a part-time scrum coach.


Colin Turkington recovered from a disastrous first race to claim a fifth place finish in the British Touring Car Championship round at Oulton Park.

A misfire issue dropped The Team BMW driver from fifth to 29th in race one, which was won by Andrew Jordan.
The Portadown driver made his way through the order in race two, ending up in 23rd spot.
Race two was won by Ash Sutton, while Gordon Shedden took the lead in the standings with victory in race three.
In race one Turkington held fourth place in the early stages, despite running with a misfire issue which had hampered him in qualifying, behind Scottish teenager Aiden Moffatt as a queue of drivers formed behind.
Sutton managed to get past Turkington with a move at the Island Bend, before contact with Moffatt resulted in a drop of power in his BMW which resulted in the 35-year-old crossing the line in 29th place.
In race two, Turkington made stellar progress through the pack, sneaking into the points despite starting in 28th.
The race ended in messy fashions as Senna Proctor pushed Turkington into Jeff Smith, spinning Smith's Honda around at the final corner.
Turkington made a fast start in race three, moving up to 11th by the end of the first lap.
He picked up another position when Honda driver Shedden hit second placed man Josh Cook, sending the Maximum Motorsport driver out of the race.
Four more moves on Jason Plato, Mike Epps, Rob Austin and team mate Rob Collard gave Turkington a fifth place finish.
Chris Smiley also had a tough weekend having only been able to qualifying 30th after a power steering issue.
The BTC Norlin Racing driver was forced to pit at the end of lap one in the first race after, before re-joining the race three laps down as he finished 29th.
The Carrickfergus drivers' struggle continued in race two, coming home in a quiet 27th place as he aimed to stay out of trouble.
Smiley picked up his best result of the day in race three, coming home in 20th place with a solid drive.
Despite the difficult weekend, Turkington is fourth in the standings after Tom Ingram, leader heading into Oulton Park, only scored one point after a tough event.
In the support series, Dan Harper had a difficult weekend as he bogged down from the front row at the start of the first Ginetta Junior race, resulting in the Hillsborough teenager getting launched into the air after he was pinned between two other cars with Harper having to pit with damage.
Harper, starting from pole in race two, was again slow off the line, dropping to sixth as he collected a fifth place finish.
Charlie Eastwood lost his lead in the Porsche Carrera Cup standings as he was spun at the first corner, recovering from 12th to finish seventh.
In race two, the Belfast driver collected a third-place finish after a red flag ended the race early.
Adam Carroll's difficult debut season in Formula E continued as he finished 15th in the Pairs ePrix.


Red Bull's Max Verstappen became the youngest winner in F1 history as Mercedes' Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg crashed out of the Spanish GP.

Hamilton and Rosberg came together on lap one as the world champion tried to pass his team-mate, leaving Red Bull and Ferrari to dispute the race.
Verstappen, 18, held off Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen after team-mate Daniel Ricciardo took a three-stop strategy.
He made his two-stop strategy work to seal a thrilling race near Barcelona.
Listen to Hamilton and Rosberg crash
It was a stunning end to a remarkable race, which started with the unthinkable.
Hamilton, who had taken a superb pole position on Saturday, made a decent start but Rosberg's was very slightly better and the German was able to draft him down the straight and and pass around the outside into Turn One.
A determined Hamilton was much faster through the fast Turn Three, as a result of Rosberg being in the wrong engine mode, and was closing quickly.
Hamilton dived for the inside on the exit of the corner as Rosberg came right across the track to defend his position. Hamilton did not lift, went onto the grass and lost control, collecting Rosberg's car as he spun back on to the track and taking both out.
The race stewards looked into the incident after the race, but decided to take no further action.
However, the fallout will continue within the Mercedes team.
Mercedes non-executive chairman Niki Lauda called the incident "stupid" and blamed Hamilton for being "too aggressive".
But Mercedes F1 boss Toto Wolff said: "It is a very difficult situation, a very difficult incident to analyse.
"It is definitely not clear-cut so I wouldn't want to blame any of them at that stage.
"Lewis had much more speed, Nico closed the door, Lewis was too wide on the inside and lost the car. It is definitely not a 100% pro one and zero the other."
Whatever the rights and wrongs of the incident, the result of it plays into Rosberg's hands. He retains a 43-point lead over Hamilton but the Briton now has one fewer race - 16 - to close it down.
The son of ex-F1 driver Jos, Verstappen - only 18 - had Raikkonen within a second of him for the last 22 laps but did not put a wheel wrong to take his first win on his debut for Red Bull, following his promotion from junior team Toro Rosso before this race.
"To win in the first race is such an amazing feeling," Verstappen said. "My dad helped me a lot to achieve this, this is amazing."
But Ricciardo may feel hard done by after he led the first 28 laps of the race from Verstappen only for Red Bull to pull him in on lap 38 and put him on a three-stop strategy, which was calculated to be the slower one before the race.

That put Verstappen into the lead and demoted Ricciardo to third behind Verstappen and Raikkonen.
That became fourth within a few laps because Ferrari followed suit with Sebastian Vettel on the next lap and then made the German's final stop before Red Bull to get him ahead of Ricciardo.
Ricciardo made his final stop on lap 43 - six laps after Vettel - and caught him with 10 laps to go.
The Australian made an aggressive but ultimately fruitless dive down the inside of Turn One on lap 59 with seven laps to go.
The move incurred Vettel's wrath as he had to take avoiding action before Ricciardo slid wide and off the track, allowing Vettel to edge back ahead.
"If I don't avoid him he goes straight into my car," Vettel screamed over the radio. "What are we doing, racing or ping-pong?"
Listen to Vettel's angry radio rant
Ricciardo kept trying, but Vettel was able to hold him off until with two laps to go Ricciardo suddenly lost pace with a left rear puncture and dropped back.
But he had enough time to make a pit stop for fresh tyres and retain fourth ahead of Williams' Valtteri Bottas.

Kingsley James' strike on his home debut helped Macclesfield to a comfortable 3-1 win over Southport in the National League.

Nerves were settled for the hosts after five minutes when Danny Whitaker opened the scoring from Danny Rowe's corner, and four minutes later they were celebrating again as Paul Lewis doubled their lead.
James then netted on 25 minutes with a tidy finish from a well-timed pass by skipper Andy Halls before Chris Holroyd shot just wide as the hosts continued to dominate.
With the points all-but secure for Macclesfield, Southport scored a late consolation through Ashley Grimes.

A British soldier has gone missing in southern Afghanistan, the Ministry of Defence has confirmed.

A massive search involving aircraft and ground troops has been launched after he went missing from his base in central Helmand.
He had left the base alone in the early hours of Monday morning, a move which is described as "highly unusual".
The soldier's next of kin have been informed. The Taliban has told the BBC it has killed a soldier in the area.
The BBC's Quentin Sommerville in Kabul said a local Taliban fighter told the BBC that insurgents had captured a foreign soldier in the Babaji area and after a firefight the solider was killed.
But our correspondent said the Taliban often made exaggerated claims for propaganda reasons.
The international mission in Afghanistan, Isaf, denied that any gun battle took place.
It said it was attempting to find the missing soldier as quickly as possible.
The MoD said in a statement: "A British serviceman is missing in Afghanistan. An extensive operation to locate him is under way."
Prime Minister David Cameron said it was "a very disturbing incident" as he made an unannounced visit to the country.
Defence Secretary Liam Fox said: "The United Kingdom and Isaf are taking all necessary and appropriate action."
Dr Fox also called for restraint by MPs and the media on the case, saying speculation was unhelpful.
A US soldier is believed to be in Taliban captivity in Pakistan.
Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl, 25, from Hailey, Idaho, was captured in June 2009 in Paktika province in eastern Afghanistan.


Louis van Gaal insists his style "is working" at Manchester United, with the club still competing on three fronts.

Sixth-placed United sit three points off a Champions League spot and host West Ham in the FA Cup on Sunday.
Liverpool then visit Old Trafford on Thursday, with United looking to overturn a 2-0 deficit in the Europa League last-16 second leg.
"I think it is working," said Van Gaal, rejecting the accusation United had fallen short in his time at the helm.
"It is not giving the best results. It is not good enough when you think you have to be a champion, or win the Europa League or the FA Cup.
"There are many of my colleagues who are not in three competitions any more."
The Dutchman suggested United should win a home FA Cup quarter-final against West Ham and has not ruled out the prospect of progressing in Europe.
"It is not impossible," said the 64-year-old. "Against West Ham United, it is also possible. At Old Trafford, we normally win our games.
"We are still in three competitions, so we can fight for a lot.
"It is possible that we are going out (of the Europa League) and then it is a very difficult situation for everyone, but still we have the chance to win something and you have to believe in that."

Van Gaal says injuries and forced rotation have caused United's inconsistencies this season, but he remains confident under growing pressure.
"This (defeat to Liverpool) of course gives us much more pressure," added Van Gaal, whose side fought back from a first-leg defeat to Danish champions FC Midtjylland in the last 32.
"We are in three competitions and after the defeat in Midtjylland you have sacked me already. Then we are standing up, and then we are in the next round - and it is possible also against Liverpool.
"We have to play that match for the second time and at home. Then we create that atmosphere and then maybe we score some goals. It shall be very difficult, I know that, but it is possible."


A blue plaque to commemorate American rock star Jimi Hendrix has been unveiled in a Lincolnshire market town where he played in a festival in 1967.

The plaque for the iconic guitarist is located at the Red Lion Hotel in Spalding where he stayed for one night.
"It happened almost 50 years ago, but people still talk about it," historian Judy Chapman said.
Hendrix performed at the Barbeque 67 at Bulb Auction Sheds along with Pink Floyd and Cream.
"When I ask around about ideas for blue plaques, Jimi Hendrix's name pops up again and again," Mrs Chapman said.
"He appeared on 29 May 1967 at an event called Barbeque 67 at the Bulb Auction Sheds in Spalding - which have long since gone."
Colin Ward, who played with local band Sounds Force Five at the event, said: "There were thousands of people there - it held 6,000 but there were twice as many people outside as well.
"Not only did he play his guitar with his teeth and behind his head, but he set fire to it," he said.
The concert was one of the first rock festivals ever held in the UK, he said.
The blue plaque is part of a new tourism trail which is being developed in the Lincolnshire town.
Another blue plaque at 23 Brook Street in Mayfair in London marks the fact Hendrix lived in the house from 1968-69.
He died of an apparent overdose at what was then the Samarkand Hotel in Lansdowne Crescent, Notting Hill, on 18 September 1970.


Scotland fell silent at 11:00 as people across the country remembered the war dead.

A cannon was fired at Edinburgh Castle to signal the start of the two-minute silence to mark Armistice Day.
Services of remembrance were held at churches and war memorials around the country.
It is 98 years since the guns fell silent in World War One at the 11th hour, on the 11th day of the 11th month.
In Glasgow, Poppyscotland volunteers broke from a day of fundraising activities to pay their respects at the city's cenotaph in George Square.
The Lord Provost, Sadie Docherty, joined them and read Laurence Binyon's For The Fallen.
The city centre square is currently home to the Every Man Remembered statue, which depicts an unknown soldier in glass case, surrounded by hundreds of poppies.
Commemorations also took place in the capital, with events organised at the Princes Street garden of remembrance, Edinburgh Waverley station and Edinburgh Castle.
Nicola Sturgeon did not attend a public event, but a spokeswoman for the first minister said she observed the two-minute silence and would be at a Remembrance service on Sunday.
In Paisley, pupils from two primary schools joined military, civic and church representatives for the annual Renfrewshire children's armistice service.
After the event in Paisley Abbey, they headed to the town's cenotaph for a two-minute silence.
More than 700,000 men were killed in World War One - 1.7% of the population of the United Kingdom.
Scotland was particularly badly affected and new figures reveal the impact of the bloody conflict on towns across the country.
In a list of the 10 UK towns worst-affected by the Great War, six are Scottish.
Durham tops the list compiled by Ancestry, but Dumfries is third, having lost 4.79% of its population of just over 30,000 in the war.
The survey found:
It also revealed that 13,740 people from Glasgow died in the war - only London suffered more losses during the 1914-18 conflict.
Ancestry senior content manager Miriam Silverman said: "The First World War was devastating for communities across the UK.
"Sadly many brave soldiers did not return to their cities, towns and villages, leaving friends and families bereft.
"It may be a century ago, but their communities and country as a whole honour their bravery today."
In Bishopton, Renfrewshire, Finance Secretary Derek Mackay joined veterans from the Erskine care home to lay wreaths and remember their fallen colleagues.
Meanwhile, 20 of Scotland's most famous landmarks will glow red at the weekend in support of the Scottish Poppy Appeal.
Edinburgh Castle, The Kelpies and St Magnus Cathedral in Orkney are among the structures taking part in the "Light Up Red" campaign.
The heavy horse statue next to the M8 motorway near Ballieston will also wear a specially-designed poppy to celebrate the appeal.
Poppyscotland's head of fundraising, Gordon Michie, said: "It's fantastic to see Scotland lighting up poppy red for the Scottish Poppy Appeal, and we've been blown away by the country's support.
"We hope that when people see all these wonderful iconic structures glowing red over the weekend they will think about the many ways they too can go the extra mile in their support for this year's Poppy Appeal.
"Whether it's putting a little bit more in the poppy tin, or doing something completely different to raise money, every penny helps us to offer life-changing support so we can be there when they call for backup."


Archaeologists have found fragments of Stirling Castle's 16th Century outer defences.

The discovery was made during work to extend the castle's main shop and ticket office.
Historic Scotland said the find would help establish exactly where the defences stood.
European experts are believed to have been used to apply the latest Italian military engineering techniques at the castle in the 1540s.
They were brought in by Mary of Guise, widow of James V, at a time when intermittent warfare with England made it essential to have fortifications that could protect against heavy artillery in a siege.
The defences are shown in a 17th Century engraving by John Slezer.
Gordon Ewart, of Kirkdale Archaeology - whose team discovered the walling - said: "We knew the defences would have been in this area, but not exactly where because the Slezer engraving, and remaining military plans, are not entirely accurate.
"This is what makes the discovery of physical evidence so important - it helps us identify exactly what existed - and to understand more about what the castle was like in the past."
Much was changed at the castle between 1711-14 when the old defences were demolished during a programme of modernisation.
Further alterations took place when the esplanade was created in the early 19th Century.
Peter Yeoman, from Historic Scotland, said the discovery gave a "tantalising glimpse" of the fortifications created for Mary of Guise and paid for by the French king Henri II.
Mr Yeoman said they were probably designed by the Italian engineer Signor Ubaldini, who was working on a similar defensive spur at the time at Edinburgh Castle.
He added: "They are of great interest because they were early examples of a changing approach to military engineering, and among the most advanced in the whole of the British isles."


A mother-of-three has won a battle against a west London borough to school her 10-year-old son at home.

Sophie Sotello, 46, quit her job as an office manager 15 years ago to educate her children.
She was convicted last year for failing to comply with a school attendance order for her youngest son, Gabriel.
The case was bought by the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea but Ms Sotello appealed the conviction and won her case at the Old Bailey.
All three of her children, including her 20-year-old son and 17-year-old daughter, were home-schooled but this case was about the education of her youngest.
Judge Richard Hone QC led the appeal panel and dismissed the original City of London Magistrates' Court conviction.
He directed that school attendance should stop.
Outside court, Ms Sotello said: "I knew right was on my side. My kids learned to quote Churchill - 'If you're going through hell, keep going'."
But the borough's lawyer, Sue Obeney, told the court the legal affair would not have been necessary had matters been addressed 18 months ago.
Ms Sotello had refused to "engage" with officers and made threats, such as saying her company would charge Â£5,000 for her to attend a meeting, said Ms Obeney.
Ms Sotello said she "had nothing against" the schools in Chelsea, but said: "It's simply that school is not the right fit for every child."
She said she had a "co-parenting agreement" with her husband, who works as a deputy director at Sotheby's, as they go through a divorce.
The former manager said she had also taken her oldest son, now 20, who she described as musically "gifted", out of school after he was "smacked on the wrist every time he touched the piano".


Wales football manager Gary Speed has died at the age of 42.

Sources have said Speed, the national manager for nearly a year, was found hanged.
Cheshire Police confirmed he was found dead at 07:08 GMT at his home in Huntington, Chester. They said there were no suspicious circumstances.
Former Wales team mate Ryan Giggs said: "Words cannot begin to describe how sad I feel at hearing this awful news."
He said: "Our thoughts are with his family at what must be a very difficult time for them."
The FAW said: "We extend our sympathies and condolences to the family.
"We ask that everyone respects the family's privacy at this very sad time."
The FAW added: "That this tragedy should have overtaken someone so young and talented is a huge loss not only for his family and friends but a nation as a whole."
Speed, who was awarded the MBE in the 2010 Birthday Honours, leaves a wife and two children.
Phil Pritchard, FAW president, said they would do "whatever we can" to help Speed's family.

Sunday football plus tributes to Gary Speed
In a statement, Cheshire Police said: "At 7.08am on Sunday 27th November Cheshire Police was informed of a sudden death at an address in Huntington in Chester.
"Officers went to the scene where a 42-year-old man was found dead.
"The next of kin have been informed and have confirmed the identity of the man as Gary Speed.
85 caps
"There are no suspicious circumstances surrounding the death and the family have requested that they are left in peace to grieve at this difficult time."
Police said a family tribute will be issued later.
Speed had appeared on BBC1's Football Focus show on Saturday afternoon, just hours before his death.
Footballers, celebrities and politicians began issuing tributes within minutes of the news.
Former Wales team mate, Robbie Savage, Tweeted: "The world has lost a great man in Gary speed I'm devastated spoke to him yesterday morning why ! Why. Why !! I'll miss him so much x
"He come to watch strictly 3/4 weeks ago I high fived him in the front row he loved the show ,he loved life he loved his family ! Devastated".
Former Wales team mate Ryan Giggs said: "I am totally devastated. Gary Speed was one of the nicest men in football and someone I am honoured to call a team-mate and friend.
"Words cannot begin to describe how sad I feel at hearing this awful news. It goes without saying my thoughts are with his family at this tremendously sad time."
First Minister Carwyn Jones said: "I'm deeply saddened to hear about the death of Gary Speed.
"This is devastating news and our thoughts are with his family at what must be a very difficult time for them."
Welsh Secretary Cheryl Gillan tweeted: "This is a sad day for football and for everyone in Wales.
"Gary Speed served club and country as a player and manager with great distinction."
Andrew RT Davies, Welsh Conservatives leader, said: "Gary Speed was tremendously gifted and I - along with millions of others - will always remember him as a legend in the game of football."
'Never be forgotten'
Welsh Liberal Democrats leader, Kirsty Williams, said: "It is a terrible, terrible shock. A tragedy for the Speed family and a tragedy for Welsh football."
Plaid Cymru leader Ieuan Wyn Jones said the "whole nation is in shock", adding: "He will never be forgotten."
At the Liberty Stadium in Swansea - where the home side were playing Aston Villa a minute's silence followed by a minute's applause was held.
Speed, born in Mancot, Flintshire, took over the Wales job in December 2010, and earlier this month, said the side's rapid improvement had exceeded all expectations.
A 4-1 friendly win over Norway represented a third successive win for Wales, and Speed's fifth in 10 games as manager.
At the time, he said: "We've progressed further than I'd have thought in this space of time but we've still got a lot of work to do."
'Stunned and saddened'
Speed won 85 caps for his country during a 14-year international career.
He was given the top job in Welsh football despite only having four months managerial experience.
Speed began his playing career at Leeds United after coming through the trainee ranks, and was part of the side that won the last Football League title in 1992, before the introduction of the Premier League.
A Leeds spokesman said the club was "stunned and saddened" by the news.
He was handed his Wales debut as a 20-year-old in the 1-0 friendly win over Costa Rica in May 1990.
He left Leeds in 1996 after 312 appearances to join Everton - who he went on to captain - in a £3.5m move.
Seven goals
Newcastle followed, in a £5.5m switch in 1998. During his six years with the Magpies, he suffered two FA Cup final defeats, but enjoyed a taste of Champions League football.
He then spent four years with Bolton Wanderers after agreeing a £750,000 move.
Speed became the first player to reach 500 Premier League appearances.
He retired from international duty in 2004, having scored seven goals and captaining his country 44 times.
Speed's final appearance came in 3-2 World Cup qualifying defeat by Poland in October 2004.
His tally of 85 caps is a record for an outfield player.


Apple is offering to replace the batteries of a "small number" of iPhone 6S phones with a fault that makes them unexpectedly shut down.

The phones with this fault were manufactured between September and October 2015, it said in a statement.
Affected devices will suddenly stop working even though the handset's battery has plenty of charge.
Anyone with an eligible phone who takes up the offer will get a free replacement battery for their handset.
In its announcement, Apple urged customers who believe they have a faulty phone to contact an Apple store, an authorised repair shop or the firm's support line to start the process of getting a new battery. A "limited serial number range" was affected, it said.
Phone owners should back up data and then wipe it all off the handset before surrendering it for the replacement, it added. Phones with cracked screens might have to be repaired before Apple would go ahead with swapping the battery, it said.
Apple added that mobile operators would not be taking part in the replacement effort.
The AppleInsider website suggested that the fault with the iPhone 6S could be traced to people charging their handset with generic chargers rather than Apple's own-brand ones.
Using one of these third-party chargers damaged circuitry which meant the amount of charge in the battery was not being reported correctly to the phone's operating system. Apple has not confirmed if this is the cause.
The battery swap programme comes only a few days after Apple announced a separate offer intended to fix a fault on the iPhone 6 Plus.
That problem meant that the touchscreens on some handsets steadily became less and less responsive if they had been accidentally dropped on to a hard surface a few times.
Gadget sites traced the cause to chips used to drive the touchscreen that came loose after an impact.


Harlequins make two changes to the side that lost at Northampton last week as former England captain Chris Robshaw returns to the starting XV.

Wing Marland Yarde is back from injury while Charlie Walker and flanker Luke Wallace drop out of the squad.

Newcastle Falcons: Tait; Watson, Harris, Powell, Sinoti; Delany, Young; Vickers, McGuigan, Vea, Wilson, Green, Latu, Welch (capt), Hogg.
Replacements: Lawson, Rogers, Hatakeyama, Robinson, Hammersley, Takulua, Willis, Agulla.


Communities in Wales and England are celebrating the 200th anniversary of a historic iron bridge bringing them together across the River Wye.

The Grade I listed Chepstow Bridge was built by John Urpeth Rastrick in 1816, and remains the only five-arch iron bridge of its age to survive.
It played a crucial role in uniting south Wales with the West Country, until the Severn Bridge opened in 1966.
Sunday will see the original opening re-enacted, as officials meet halfway.
Monmouthshire council chairman Jim Higginson has the honour of greeting his Gloucestershire counterpart, Colin Hay, along with the president of the Institution of Civil Engineers, Sir John Armitt.
Mr Higginson said it would be "an historic occasion".
"I'm delighted to participate in the ceremony marking 200 years of this magnificent bridge. I'm sure that it'll be a day to remember," he said.
Chepstow mayor Paul Pavia added: "A huge amount of work has been invested in the event by the town council and local volunteers, especially John Burrows of the bridge's bi-centenary organising group, and I hope all our guests and local residents will enjoy and remember this historic day for years to come."
A foundation stone for the bridge was laid in 1813, and then in 1814 the contract to construct it was won by the Bridgnorth foundry of Hazeldine, Rastrick and Brodie, where engineer Rastrick was a managing partner.
Despite the scale of the task it was in place just two years later - at the cut price of Â£17,850 - about Â£1.2m today.
It spans 34 metres (112ft) across the Wye, and is maintained by both Monmouthshire and Gloucestershire councils.
The bridge replaced a wooden 10-arch structure that had stood on the Wye in one form or another for 500 years.
"Once complete, it became the third largest iron arch road bridge in the world, so it was a very bold initiative for its time," added Gloucestershire cabinet member, Vernon Smith.
"Last year we helped to fund structural repairs and a repaint. It now looks fantastic for its 200th birthday and I hope it'll be used for another 200 years and beyond."
Celebrations begin at 13:00 BST at Beaufort Square in Chepstow, with a bi-centenary plaque unveiling, a historic car procession and a riverside fair, all bringing the month-long Chepstow Festival to an end with a firework display.


Roger Federer was knocked out of the US Open, suffering a surprise defeat by sixth seed Tomas Berdych, who will face Andy Murray in the semi-finals.

The world number one and five-time champion lost 7-6 (7-1) 6-4 3-6 6-3 in two hours 42 minutes, his first ever quarter-final defeat in New York.
Czech Republic's Berdych out-hit Federer to reach the last four at Flushing Meadows for the first time.
"A huge win for Berdych, who played ferocious tennis in the first two sets and then impressively resisted an inevitable Federer fightback to win the fourth.
"The Czech player was in scintillating form early on with a series of aces and forehands which simply beat Federer for pace. He took the lead in the third but got a little twitchy and Federer started aggressively turning the match.
"In the fourth, the errors came from Federer serving at 3-4 and Berdych, presented with the unexpected opportunity to serve out the match, rediscovered the emphatic play of earlier.
"Federer hardly had a hit in that final game. What a performance."
The remaining two quarter-finals take place on Thursday.
David Ferrer meets Janko Tipsarevic at 18:30 BST, with defending champion Novak Djokovic playing Juan Martin del Potro in the final night match.
It is the first Grand Slam semi-final line-up featuring neither Federer nor the injured Rafael Nadal since the 2004 French Open.
"I just didn't come up with the goods tonight," said Wimbledon champion and Olympic silver medallist Federer, who last failed to make the semi-finals of this event in 2003.
"I've got to go back to the drawing board and see what's really a priority. I'm disappointed. I really expected myself to play better.
"I felt good and had such an amazing summer. I really thought I was going to  come out and play a solid match. I didn't do that."
The 31-year-old had not played since Saturday but showed few signs of rustiness as he broke Berdych's serve in the opening game.
However, the 26-year-old Czech battled back to force a first-set tie-break and dominated it with a show of brutal shot-making.
Contesting his first US Open quarter-final, Berdych started the second set as he finished the first, breaking Federer for a 2-0 lead and denying the Swiss a look-in on his serve.
He struck again with an unstoppable forehand for 5-2 and, although Federer immediately recovered one of the breaks, closed out to love at the second attempt.
A swift conclusion was in sight when Federer's serve was broken again at the beginning of the third set, but he finally found some rhythm and drew level thanks to a Berdych double-fault in game six.
Andy Murray, who leads Roger Federer 9-8 in their career head-to-head, trails semi-final opponent Tomas Berdych 4-2
The crowd roared with delight as Federer punished his nervous-looking opponent, but the Czech regained his composure in set four.
In game eight, Federer saw a forehand sail long off the net cord, handing a break point to his opponent.
Berdych grabbed the opportunity, passing the Swiss at the net to lead 5-3 before serving out the match to love.
"It couldn't be better," said Berdych, who knocked out Federer at the same stage of Wimbledon in 2010.
"There is no better feeling than to play my first night session against Roger and be able to beat him. I really enjoyed it. The crowd were great and I'm really looking forward to the next one."
Earlier in the day, Djokovic cruised into the quarter-finals when Swiss opponent Stanislas Wawrinka retired while trailing 6-4 6-1 3-1.
The second seed now plays 2009 champion Del Potro after he ended the career of Andy Roddick with a four-set win.
Tipsarevic, seeded eighth, overcame 19th seed Philipp Kohlschreiber of Germany for a 6-3 7-6 (7-5) 6-2 win.


Nearly all of the chaotically built homes in the small community of Vila Uniao in the west of Rio have "SMH" painted onto their walls.

Like a sort of officially sanctioned graffiti, the initials of the housing department of Rio de Janeiro were sprayed on homes marked for demolition.
Almost 900 families, many of which lived on Rua da Esperanca (Hope Street), were facing eviction because their houses stood in the way of the planned route for the Transolimpica bus rapid transit system (BRT).
The extension of the BRT is part of the upgrades planned ahead of the 2016 Olympic Games, which the city is hosting.
The new 25km (15 mile) rapid bus route is expected to carry 70,000 passengers a day.
It will link Barra da Tijuca, which will host the athletes' village, to Deodoro, the venue for several Olympic events.
Rio City Hall intended to relocate the families from Vila Uniao to small social housing apartments or offer compensation packages.
But many residents did not want to leave their 30-year-old community.
After two years of uncertainty and a small yet vocal campaign of resistance, they have managed to save it from demolition.
Instead of running straight over the neighbourhood, the new $555m-bus system (Â£370m) will now cut around Vila Uniao.
This means only 191 families will need to be relocated, a 78% reduction in the original number of expected evictions.
"We're celebrating a lot because it was 900 families and now it's 191," said Robson da Silva Soares, one of those leading the resistance to the demolition of Vila Uniao.
But the victory was bittersweet for the residents, who, in 2012, had been promised investment as part of an initiative to improve the city's poor neighbourhoods by 2020.
Months later, the Transolimpica project was announced and along with it, the need to relocate hundreds of families.
Many of the homes earmarked for demolition were bigger than the government-funded apartments residents were being offered, explained 68-year-old Francisco Gabriel.
"I've been here 20 years and if it's a choice between leaving for the [government-funded] Colonia Juliano Moreira apartments or staying here, I'd prefer to stay here," he said.
"The homes there are smaller."
According to Rio City Hall, plans for the Transolimpica were redrawn to reduce the impact on Vila Uniao.
"We managed to get public land belonging to the federal government to alter the project and attend to the needs of the residents," a spokesman said.
Rio City Hall said the project, while causing disruption to some, also had huge potential to improve the lives of locals by linking their neighbourhood to other public transport lines.
"The future corridor will benefit the population leaving a huge legacy of mobility: a fully integrated transport network with the Transoeste and Transcarioca BRTs already opened, and the rail network in Deodoro," officials said.
But while the reduced number of evictions was welcomed by the majority in Vila Uniao, it did not satisfy everyone, leaving the community divided.
Cintia Neves, who runs a lunchtime cafe in the neighbourhood, has lived here almost her whole life.
The 26-year-old shares the house her late father built when she was six months old with her mother and brother.
"The vast majority [in the community] think the change is good but there are some who wanted to leave," she says, explaining that some homes in Vila Uniao were barely more than hovels.
"We are staying for now" she said about her family.
But even though the relief of those residents whose homes have been saved is palpable the new route is still likely to affect the community.
There is the local football pitch, for example. The original plan spared it but the new project runs over it instead.
Rio City Hall said it was in talks with the owner of a local football ground to provide a new pitch.
There were also concerns that those moving to the new social housing would lose the community feel they enjoyed in Vila Uniao.
"I grew up in the community with my parents and four brothers," Mr Soares said.
"There's a market, a bank, a school. But the place where the families are moving to doesn't have any of this. They have to start everything again."
Mr Soares said he and his fellow campaigners would not give up: "My house was in the path of the BRT and now I don't have to leave.
"But even so, I will continue with the same fight because independent of me, we're fighting for residents to have their rights."
And he is confident he can drive down the number of those facing eviction even further. "We see the possibility of removing fewer still than 191," the 37-year-old electromechanical technician said.


New rules to make clear who owns Scotland's land will "shine transparency" in the wake of the Panama Papers leak, Nicola Sturgeon has said.

But the Scottish Greens accused Ms Sturgeon's SNP of "attempting to make existing legislation look like a radical promise".
Elsewhere on the Holyrood campaign trail, the Scottish Lib Dems launched their manifesto.
And the Tories and Labour criticised the SNP's record in government.
Ms Sturgeon said she would consult on setting up a Register of Controlling Interests as one of her first acts if the SNP is re-elected on 5 May.
She said the register would "shine the bright light of transparency on to the issue of who owns Scotland".
She added: "The Panama Papers have exposed some of the issues around anonymous ownership of land - however the people of Scotland shouldn't have to rely on leaked documents to find out who owns Scotland."
The last SNP government passed the Land Reform (Scotland) Act earlier this year, but the legislation was branded too timid by critics, including some within the party.
Ms Sturgeon, who was visiting a gin distillery in Grantown-on-Spey before campaigning in Inverness city centre, also vowed she would be "a champion for all of Scotland's communities" if re-elected first minister.
But Scottish Greens candidate Andy Wightman, a long-standing campaigner on land reform issues, said: "This announcement by the SNP is an attempt to make existing legislation look like a radical promise.
"The Register of Controlling Interests is already legal requirement under Part 3 of the Land Reform (Scotland) Act 2016.
"The SNP is announcing that if elected, it will obey the law - nothing more. Any government is bound to obey the law."
The party's co-convener, Patrick Harvie, joined campaigners protesting against proposals for development on greenbelt land near Stirling.
Elsewhere, Scottish Conservative leader Ruth Davidson also highlighted rural issues on the election trail in Aberdeenshire, where she met farmers who are still waiting for CAP payments.
She highlighted NFU Scotland figures which show that almost a third of farmers were still waiting for their payouts last week, describing it as "failure of the SNP government's making".
"We are talking about people's livelihoods and a key sector in our economy, but the SNP had taken their eye off the ball on this and many other issues," she said.
Scottish Labour leader Kezia Dugdale visited a youth football group in Edinburgh to outline plans to stops cuts to schools and children's services.
She said that under the SNP, budget cuts would put after-school sports clubs and extra-curricular activities at risk.
Ms Dugdale said that Labour would take "different and fairer" decisions of tax, reversing a tax cut for the top 1% and setting a 50p top rate of tax for those earning more than Â£150,000 a year.
Meanwhile, the Scottish Liberal Democrats unveiled their manifesto at a soft play centre in Edinburgh, where they outlined their plans to raise Â£500m for a "transformation" of education by increasing income tax rates by 1p.
The manifesto also includes proposals to improve mental health care, a huge expansion in free nursery provision and a vow to reverse cuts to Scottish colleges.


Leeds Rhinos began the defence of their Super League title with a narrow defeat by Warrington Wolves at Headingley.

The hosts, who won the treble in 2015, could not initially break through a resolute Warrington, who led 6-0 at half-time with Chris Sandow's try.
Brad Singleton and Ryan Hall crossed to put Leeds in front after half-time.
Kevin Penny's converted score gave Warrington a two-point lead and Zak Hardaker failed with a 30-metre penalty which would have earned Leeds a draw.
Leeds 10-12 Warrington as it happened
In their first competitive match since the departures of veteran trio Kevin Sinfield, Jamie Peacock and Kylie Leuluai, Leeds lost captain Danny McGuire to injury just before half-time.
Youngster Jordan Lilley stepped into a half-back position to good effect, producing the pass that sent Hall over, giving the home side a 10-6 advantage.
But at no time was Sinfield's absence felt more than four minutes from time, when last year's Man of Steel Hardaker was unable to land a kick that would have ensured a share of the spoils in the season's opening match.
Warrington finished sixth at the end of a disappointing 2015 campaign, but the performances of half-back pairing Sandow and new recruit Kurt Gidley - as well as their powerful forward pack - pointed to encouraging times ahead for Tony Smith's side.
Ex-Great Britain coach Brian Noble on BBC Radio 5 live sports extra:
"They've set a high standard, both of these teams.
"Leeds were hindered a little with the loss of McGuire, but no excuses. Warrington found enough quality in their attack and we saw some sublime touches from Sandow.
"Leeds were dead and buried at one point, so the win comes down to how well Warrington defended, especially in the scramble moments when Leeds thought they were getting over the line."
Leeds Rhinos: Hardaker; Briscoe, Watkins, Moon, Hall; Sutcliffe, McGuire; Galloway, Burrow, Cuthbertson, Ferres, Ablett, Delaney.
Replacements: Singleton, Garbutt, Keinhorst, Lilley.
Warrington Wolves: Russell; Lineham, Evans, Currie, Penny; Gidley, Sandow; Hill, Clark, Sims, Hughes, Westwood, Westerman.
Replacements: Dwyer, King, Jullien, Cox.
Referee: James Child

A man accused of sending threats over Twitter to North West MEP Sajjad Karim will not face charges.

A 55-year-old man, from Harrogate, was arrested on suspicion of sending alleged direct threats to Mr Karim on Twitter in June.
The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) announced the decision was due to a lack of evidence.
The Blackburn-born Conservative MEP, 46, has requested a review. The CPS said a review would be carried out.
Tweets were sent during the run-up to the European Referendum and shortly before the death of MP Jo Cox.
Mr Karim had campaigned for the UK to remain in the European Union ahead of the June 23 referendum.
A CPS spokesperson said no further action would be taken against the accused due to "lack of evidence strong enough to secure a conviction".


Former Wales midfielder Carl Robinson has officially announced his retirement from playing to concentrate on coaching.

The Llandrindod Wells-born player won 52 caps for Wales and scored one goal.
Robinson started his career with Wolves and also played for Sunderland and Portsmouth before joining Toronto FC in the MLS in 2007.
He joined New York Red Bulls in 2010 before switching to Vancouver Whitecaps as assistant coach in January.
"Since I lost my father 18 months ago, my desire to play has sort of waned a little bit," Robinson said.
"I wanted a fresh start and I have really enjoyed the challenge and focus required to be a professional coach."
The 35-year-old also had spells at Shrewsbury Town, Sheffield Wednesday, Walsall, Rotherham United, Sheffield United and Norwich City.
He made his final appearance for Wales against Finland at the Millennium Stadium in March 2009.


Labour has told its MPs it is the party "best placed" to re-unite the country following the UK's decision to leave the EU, a leaked document shows.

The party briefing note said leader Jeremy Corbyn, who had backed Remain, was "uniquely placed" as he understood why many people had voted to leave.
Mr Corbyn said voters had been let down by "successive governments".
But fresh calls have been made for Mr Corbyn to resign after many traditional Labour heartlands voted to leave.
BBC assistant political editor Norman Smith said members of the Parliamentary Labour Party were preparing an attempt to "oust" Mr Corbyn, with some MPs planning to call for him to "consider his position".
The leaked document said Labour was now "the only party that can meet the challenge we now face".
It said voters would now support the party because it "did not engage in project fear" - or alleged scaremongering - during the referendum campaign.
"As the party that stands up for working people, Labour is best placed to re-unite the country - we can do so as we did not engage in project fear, and we share people's dissatisfaction with the status quo, which is why we put a critical case for both remain and reform," the letter read.
It said Mr Corbyn "understands why people voted to leave, he understands people's criticisms of Europe", adding that he was "the only leader of a major party in Britain to whom that applies".
It follows criticisms of Mr Corbyn's influence on the referendum campaign and comes after voters in many key Labour areas voters backed Brexit - despite the party campaigning to remain.
The first results of the night revealed voters in Sunderland had overwhelmingly backed Leave, while Newcastle - which returned a Remain victory - had more Brexit supporters than expected.
The pattern in the north-east of England was replicated in other Labour heartlands, including areas of the north-west of England and large areas of Wales.
Mr Corbyn told the BBC there would be some "very difficult days ahead" for the UK after the vote, and warned of "consequences" for British jobs.
He called for immediate talks on Brexit to begin and said the government should invoke Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty, which would begin the two-year process of negotiating a new trade relationship with the EU.
Following dramatic falls in the value of the pound, Mr Corbyn said Prime Minister David Cameron must work "quickly" to stabilise the economy.
However, former Labour Prime Minister Tony Blair has criticised Mr Corbyn's role in the campaign.
He told the BBC the Labour leadership was "pretty lukewarm in its support for Remain", saying Labour had failed to mobilise its supporters "to understand that this was not a protest vote".
Former Labour minister and EU commissioner Lord Mandelson said the referendum campaign showed Mr Corbyn "can't cut it" as leader.
And Labour MP Angela Smith said Mr Corbyn must "bear his share of the responsibility for the way in which he led the EU referendum campaign from a Labour perspective".
Meanwhile, pro-EU MP Simon Danczuk, who had the Labour whip suspended last year, said there was "no doubt" that Mr Corbyn should resign.
He told Sky News: "We've failed to get the message across to what you might describe as Labour heartlands.
"The truth is that Jeremy Corbyn just doesn't communicate well with those core voters. And the important point from that is that I think they're actually making that final disconnect with Labour."
Other Labour MPs have said the party must change to recognise concerns about immigration, the EU and wider issues.
Labour Leave campaigner Kate Hoey MP told Sky News Labour supporters were "fed up of being told they're ignorant" and the party could lose its support.
Labour former minister Ian Lucas warned the party needs a "big change in its approach" while Labour leave campaigner John Mann said the party had been "somewhat out of touch" with its supporters who were "sick to death" with what they were being offered.
There has been a renewed push in recent weeks by the Remain side to appeal to Labour voters, amid fears the party's core supporters were drifting towards Leave.
Ex-Labour leader Ed Miliband said many voters in north-east England had backed Leave because of a "deep set of issues" that have been "building for a long time".
He said voters were expressing concerns about immigration but also the "wider direction of the country".
Shadow chancellor John McDonnell told the BBC he felt that during the referendum campaign "people's grievances are being aired as well" on issues such as austerity and wage stagnation.
He said the result that was coming in was "exactly as I thought" adding there was a lot of disaffection with Westminster politics: "Some of those are Labour supporters. We have done our best to turn that around but it's been tough," he said.
But he said "we've got to listen to our own [supporters]".


Award-winning actress Samantha Morton is being given an honorary degree by Nottingham Trent University.

The Nottingham-born star is one of eight figures from the worlds of business, the arts, academia and media being honoured.
Pop artist Sir Peter Blake, the man behind the cover of the Beatle's Sgt Pepper album, and art critic Adrian Searle will also be receiving awards.
The degrees will be handed out at ceremonies from Monday to 22 July.
Morton is receiving the degree of Doctor of Letters "in recognition of her internationally successful acting career", said the university.
She has received two Oscar nominations for her performances in Jim Sheridan's In America (2002) and Woody Allen's Sweet and Lowdown (1999).
Morton won Bafta and Emmy nominations for the role of Myra Hindley in Channel 4's Longford.
And as a director she won a Bafta for her debut feature film, The Unloved, in 2010 - a semi-autobiographical drama about children in the care system.
The actress, who trained at the Central Junior Television Workshop in Nottingham and got her first television role at the age of 13, is currently filming Cosmopolis, directed by David Cronenberg.
Each year the university awards a small number of honorary degrees to individuals who have achieved outstanding success and distinction in their chosen fields.
Honorary degrees are also being given to forensic scientist Dr Angela Gallop and Eleanor Sharpston QC, one of Europe's senior law officers.
The first children's commissioner for England, Professor Sir Albert Aynsley-Green, the chair of the East Midlands Development Agency Dr Bryan Jackson OBE, Baron Parekh, a political scientist, will also be recognised.


Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM) has named three militants who it says carried out last week's hotel attack in Burkina Faso, killing 29 people.

AQIM's statement - carried by monitoring group SITE - said Ouagadougou's four-star Splendid Hotel was a "den of global espionage".
The statement has not been independently verified.
AQIM is based in the Sahara Desert between Mali, Niger and Algeria and has attacked West African countries.
This was its first attack on Burkina Faso.
In its statement, AQIM published photographs of three men wearing military uniforms and holding guns, naming them as Battar al-Ansari, Abu Muhammad al-Buqali al-Ansari and Ahmed al-Fulani al-Ansari.
These names appear to be noms de guerre and no further details were released.
It described the hotel as "one of the most dangerous dens of global espionage in the west of the African continent".
AQIM earlier said the gunmen were from jihadist group al-Murabitoun of Algeria's militant Mokhtar Belmokhtar.
At least three attackers died in the assaults, officials say.
However, some witnesses were quoted as saying that they saw more than three gunmen.

Neighbouring countries have pledged to help Burkina Faso after the attack.
"We're not going to just sit on our hands. We will react and respond," said Benin President Thomas Boni Yayi on behalf of the West African body, Ecowas.
"The question is: 'Whose turn is it next?" he asked, reports the AFP news agency.
Earlier, Mali, which borders Burkina Faso and experienced a similar attack last November, vowed to help the government in Ouagadougou tackle Islamist militants,
"We have decided to go forward together, hand in hand, to fight against  terrorism and jihadism," Prime Minister Modibo Keita said during a visit to Burkina Faso.
Forensic experts from France and Burkina Faso were on Monday sifting through the wreckage of the hotel for clues about the attack.
Militants attacked the Splendid Hotel and the nearby Cappuccino cafe on Friday evening, setting off several explosions.
About half of those killed were foreigners, including citizens of Canada, Ukraine, France, Portugal, Switzerland, the Netherlands and the US.
French special forces helped bring the siege to an end.


Five men have been arrested under the Terrorism Act following raids in Cardiff and Barry.

Officers from North East Counter Terrorism Unit and the Wales Extremism and Counter Terrorism Unit executed six search warrants on Thursday.
The men, aged 19-32, were arrested under section 12 of the act, creating offences in relation to the support of proscribed organisations.
Two of the men have been named as Rofi Islam and Sajid Idris.
The arrests are not linked to two men charged with offences on Wednesday.
Police said the arrests were linked to the Grangetown area of Cardiff and were part of a wider counter-terrorism investigation in Wales, but are not linked to brothers Aseel and Nasser Muthana who went to fight with IS in Syria.
South Wales Police Assistant Chief Constable Nikki Holland denied Cardiff was a hotbed of terrorism.
She said the Muthana brothers and Reyaad Khan had become poster boys in the UK for IS but said police were determined to tackle radicalisation.
"The scale of counter terrorism in Wales is minimal compared to other parts of the UK," she added.
Ramesh Rupaliyah, who works in a shop in Kent Street in Grangetown, said there were a number of police vehicles there at 07:00 GMT when the store opened.
"Police were already there when I got here," he said "there were police vehicles in the street."


Racing 92 assistant coach Ronan O'Gara believes a transformation in the club's "culture and identity" has taken them to the brink of Champions Cup glory.

Racing meet Saracens in the final in Lyon on Saturday, with both clubs bidding to win Europe's premier club competition for the first time.
"One of our big strengths this year is how united we are," said O'Gara.
"Our values now are a lot better than they were 12 months ago, and people are putting it in for each other."
The Parisians have a multinational squad, including All Black great Dan Carter, but last won the French title in 1990.
They struggled after the arrival of professionalism but, under the ownership of real estate magnate Jacky Lorenzetti, they have re-established themselves among the leading clubs in France.
"We've installed a different culture and identity, because there's no [recent] history of winning anything at this club apart from a [second division] Pro D2," the Irishman, speaking to BBC 5 live, added.
"Now I feel there is a grip on the club which means the club can do something. Previously it wasn't possible because of the standards, but we have something very good building."
Bolstered by the deep pockets of Lorenzetti, Racing have spent heavily in the past few years.
Carter, the most expensive player in the world, and Welsh duo Mike Phillips and Luke Charteris are part of a squad packed with internationals. Some might be nearing the end of their careers - but O'Gara insists the new arrivals are motivated by success on the pitch.
"People coming from all different corners of the world doesn't mean they are money-grabbing people," the former Munster, Ireland and Lions fly-half said.
"I could tell you how motivated these guys are, and what playing for this club means to them, and you would be shocked.
"Twenty-four months ago I would agree with the perception that it's easy to pick up a cheque in France and it's easy to make a great living, but once you're a winner I think it doesn't leave you, and we have plenty of winners in our group."
No one embodies this winning mentality more than Carter, who is one victory away from lifting the Champions Cup, a matter of months after guiding New Zealand to back-to-back Rugby World Cups.
"He's fascinating," O'Gara said. "Extremely humble and extremely respectful. He always finds a way of getting the job done, and he doesn't do stress.
"He's very polite - a breath of fresh air - and you can learn an awful lot just from watching him."
Carter's fly-half head-to-head with Saracens' Owen Farrell could be decisive on the weekend, with O'Gara describing the Englishman as "the most improved player in Britain and Ireland over the last six months".
"He's a big threat now," O'Gara said. "Saracens play for each other, and that's the most important thing. You look at [wing] Chris Ashton - it's incredible to think he is surplus to requirements at Test level."
Despite his relative inexperience as a coach, O'Gara has the responsibility of being second-in-command to joint head coaches Laurent Travers and Laurent Labit at Racing.
The 39-year-old recently extended his stay in Paris until 2019, a clear sign of how much he and his family are enjoying the experiences of the French capital.
"It's only until you leave your own home and comfort zone you realise what is out there," O'Gara admitted.
And while O'Gara is widely tipped to eventually return to coach in Ireland, he says he is focused on Racing for the foreseeable future.
"I'm not thinking about anything bar here. I have my hands full but I love it."
