Real Madrid get one more bit of bad news on the Kylian Mbappe injury front

Kylian Mbappe suddenly had to miss the second leg of the Champions League playoff round against Benfica with his left knee acting up, and it looks like he will miss the next Champions League match against Manchester City, too.

Manchester City get positive Erling Haaland injury news after late scratch vs. Leeds

Manchester City superstar striker Erling Haaland suffered an injury in training just before the Saturday Premier League fixture against Leeds United, but he is not expected to miss the next game against Nottingham Forest. A shoo-in for the Premier League Player of the Season award and the obvious top Golden Boot candidate, Haaland is the only out and out striker for Man City, and any time he is missing for them, it is a huge blow. The good news is that although he is missing the Leeds game, the injury is minor and will not take him out of the Forest game, as Jan Aage Fjortoft reports that he is expected to play against Forest on Wednesday night in the Premier League. If Haaland cannot play, Man City's best bet to cover the striker position is to use a twin headed forward duo, much...
