The 5 most impactful injuries of the 2024/25 LaLiga season

There's nothing like a major injury that can completely change the narrative of the season, and the 2024/25 LaLiga title race - and even the race for European places - has been significantly impacted by major ailments.

Latest injury update on Trent Alexander-Arnold return

Liverpool star right back Trent Alexander-Arnold has been out since the Reds' second leg Champions League Round of 16 defeat to PSG with a high-ankle sprain, which has caused him to miss one game so far.

Liverpool star Ryan Gravenberch now has injury concern

Liverpool are reeling right now, having lost the Carabao Cup Final this past weekend to Newcastle 2-1 after being eliminated from the Champions League Round of 16 in heartbreaking fashion to PSG on penalties. Now, Liverpool may have another worry on their hands, as one of their best players of the season, center midfielder Ryan Gravenberch, has just suffered an injury blow. Providing further evidence of the insidiously useless nature of the international "breaks", top footballing insider Fabrizio Romano reports that Gravenberch was forced to leave the Netherlands this week with an injury of unspecified nature. He will return to Liverpool for further evaluation by his club. Liverpool hold a 12-point lead at the top of the Premier League table over Arsenal, so while their title hope...

When is Manuel Neuer returning from injury for Bayern Munich?

Bayern Munich star goalkeeper Manuel Neuer has been out since Mar. 5 with a torn muscle fiber in his right calf that he suffered during a 3-0 blowout win over Bundesliga title rivals Bayer Leverkusen in the first leg of the Champions League Round of 16. The young Jonas Urbig, acquired from FC Koln in the winter transfer window, has ably stepped in for Neuer as the club's most promising backup in years, but the German footballing legend's return is soon on the horizon. According to a report from Sky Sports Germany's Florian Plettenberg, Neuer is working hard on his comeback at the club facilities and is targeting a Mar. 29 return date against bottom-half Bundesliga side St. Pauli.

Arsenal quietly get amazing Bukayo Saka injury news

Arsenal suffered another disappointing performance in the Premier League this weekend, drawing bottom-feeders Manchester United 1-1 at Old Trafford in a game in which they dominated possession. But Arsenal were unable to turn that possessional dominance into much meaningful, and, actually, they can consider themselves lucky to have gotten a point, as they owe a lot to David Raya and two especially brilliant saves that kept Arsenal in it. Arsenal continue to have issues with putting away chances or even creating clear-cut attacking opportunities, but, hopefully, a portion of those issues will be mitigated shortly. That's because, prior to kickoff, Arsenal fans received some positive injury news regarding their best player, right winger Bukayo Saka. According to Gunnerblog, Saka is ...

Tottenham get excellent Richarlison injury news before Arsenal battle

Tottenham will travel to the Emirates Stadium on Jan. 15 for a key Premier League battle against Arsenal, having just survived a tougher than expected fA Cup matchup against Tamworth and a 1-0 victory over Liverpool in the first leg of the League Cup semifinals.

Better yet, Tottenham will be getting a physical boost to their lineup, too, as Spurs beat reporter Paul O'Keefe reports that star forward Richarlison is on track to be back in the squad for the club against Arsenal. Richarlison is probably still a bit ...

West Ham get wonderful Jarrod Bowen injury news

West Ham star right winger Jarrod Bowen is arguably the most important player on the team and was a hero a couple of years ago when the Hammers conquered the Conference League Final against historic Italian side Fiorentina. Bowen is one of the best wingers in the Premier League and is currently out with a fractured left foot he suffered on Dec. 29 against Liverpool, leaving West Ham without their best player for the foreseeable future. With other key attacking injuries, including another long-term one to big No. 9 Niclas Fullkrug in the last FA Cup fixture vs. Aston Villa, Bowen's injury has loomed even larger. But the Hammers just received a positive injury update. According to a report from The Standard's Dom Smith, Bowen is back training with club physios and is far ahead of th...

Tottenham get surprising Wilson Odobert injury update

Tottenham forward Wilson Odobert joined the club this past summer from Burnley for a whopping 30 million euro transfer fee, as he is part of an incoming class of top prospects, alongside midfielders Archie Gray and Lucas Bergvall, in Spurs' intent to compete at the Champions League level for the forseeeable future. So far, the early returns on Gray and Bergvall have been highly positive, with the duo most recently impressing greatly in a 1-0 victory over Premier League leaders Liverpool in the first leg of the League Cup semifinals. But the early returns on Odobert are unknown, as the 20-year-old winger has been unable to get on the pitch since suffering a hamstring injury that has cost him 25 games thus far. There is some surprising good news, though. After various outlets report...
