Liverpool fans get the Alexander Isak injury news they were begging for

The Alexander Isak transfer has not worked out the way Liverpool had hoped, as the club spent more than 100 million pounds on the striker who was the Premier League's best in 2024/25, only to have him unable to integrate into the team due to injuries. But now, according to Paul Joyce of the Sunday Times, there is finally some light at the end of the tunnel. Isak is said to be nearing the end of recovering from a fractured fibula and ankle injury, and he should be able to return to Liverpool until after the March international break. Now, Isak has missed months with a serious injury, so it will take him some time to find his groove even after he returns. Liverpool are not going to be in the Premier League title picture even if Isak is 100 percent and firing on all cylinders, but, impo...

Real Madrid suffer brutal defensive injury blow for Atletico Madrid, Manchester City fixtures

Just as soon as he came into the team again and shone brightly against Manchester City in the Champions League knockouts, Ferland Mendy had suffered a right hamstring injury. Mendy was always going to miss the upcoming fixture against Elche in La Liga this weekend, but now, according to a report from Diario AS, he is going to miss more significant games after that. He is now expected to be out until after the March international break, meaning the earliest he would return is on April 5 against Mallorca. His injury will cost him the massive fixtures against rivals Atletico Madrid and then Manchester City in the second leg of the Champions League Round of 16. With Alvaro Carreras injured with a calf issue, Real Madrid will have to turn to Fran Garcia for the Atleti game, and he is a...

Liam Rosenior offers brutal Estevao Willian injury news

It has been a rough week for Chelsea fans. The club lost to rivals Arsenal the previous weekend, barely survived Wrexham last weekend, and then got pummeled 5-2 by PSG with Filip Jorgensen floundering in goal after manager Liam Rosenior boldly made the call to start him over the significantly better Robert Sanchez. On Saturday, Chelsea will have a tough battle in the Premier League again with Newcastle United on the ledger, and while there was some hope that star winger Estevao Willian would be back to help Joao Pedro out in the attack, it looks like the Brazilian sensation will be out a bit longer. Rosenior told reporters at the press conference before the game against the Magpies, “Estevao is still out and a bit further away." It is unclear when Estevao will return, but now Chel...

Real Madrid hoping for two huge injury returns vs. Manchester City

Real Madrid dominated Manchester City 3-0 in the first leg of the Champions League Round of 16 even without Jude Bellingham and Kylian Mbappe, as a hat trick from Fede Valverde and elite defensive work ensured they would emerge victorious. But things could get even better for Real in the second leg at the Etihad, as El Chiringuito report that the Merengues are hoping to have left back Alvaro Carreras and the club's best player, Mbappe, back in time for the second leg. Mbappe has been recovering well after being shut down wisely for continued and worsening left knee pain. Rather than risk aggravation, Real rested him up. Now, he is expected to be back either during the March international break or after it (hopefully after it for the Man City game). Carreras's return would be an ev...

Real Madrid fans learn when Jude Bellingham is expected to return from injury

Real Madrid superstar center midfielder Jude Bellingham has been out since early February with a hamstring injury, as the England international has not played a game in the league since only lasting 10 minutes on Feb. 1 vs. local rivals Rayo Vallecano before going down. Alongside Kylian Mbappe, Bellingham missed this past Champions League Round of 16 clash with rivals Manchester City, though Federico Valverde stepped up so Real won 3-0 in a breeze. Still, Real are better when Bellingham is in the midfield as another world class workhorse. According to a report from The Athletic's Guillermo Rai, the most realistic return date for the young star is the upcoming Derbi against Atletico Madrid. He is said to be working hard to speed up his return process. Real Madrid will face their bi...

Real Madrid get brilliant Kylian Mbappe injury news (but with one concerning catch)

Real Madrid recently were forced to shut Kylian Mbappe down due to a left knee injury that he had been playing through, but with recurring pain and worries about serious aggravation, the club and the player made the wise and necessary decision to stop pushing it. Mbappe thus had to miss a huge match in the first leg of the Champions League Round of 16 against Manchester City, bu thanks to a hat trick from midfielder Fede Valverde, he did not end up being missed. Still, Mbappe is crucial to Real and has been one of the best players in the world again this season, scoring goals and providing great all around play, so having him back as soon as it is healthy for him to do so would be huge. And now, French outlet RMC Sport is reporting that the light at the end of the tunnel is near f...

Liam Rosenior delivers major Cole Palmer injury news before Chelsea vs. Aston Villa

Chelsea were unable to take a point off a stingy Arsenal side in a hard fought rivalry matchup in their last Premier League weekend, and they now face another stiff challenge in another top four hopeful in Aston Villa on Wednesday night. There were initially fears that Cole Palmer, who has been held back by a number of injuries this season, had suffered another injury in the loss to Arsenal, but Chelsea manager Liam Rosenior confirmed that this is not the case. Speaking at a press conference ahead of the next big game for the Blues, via Fabrizio Romano, Rosenior had this to say about the status of his team's best player: “Cole Palmer is absolutely fine to start the game on Wednesday”. “He took a knock.

Liverpool confirm more disappointing injury news for Florian Wirtz

Although his season started out slowly, the Liverpool fans who believed in Florian Wirtz from the beginning deserve to poke fun at the doubters for all eternity, as the slam dunk signing from Bayer Leverkusen has been brilliant. But he has also been missed, suffering a back injury in late February that has cost him two games so far. According to Arne Slot in a press conference after Liverpool's big 5-2 win over West Ham United, the injury will cost him yet another two more games out of action for the Reds. Via Fabrizio Romano, the Dutch manager confirmed that in addition to missing Tuesday night's Premier League clash against a suddenly sneaky dangerous Wolves side, Wirtz will also be out for Liverpool's following matchup against Wolves on Friday, Mar. 6 in the FA Cup.

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. Once again, Real Madrid will face Man City in the Champions League knockout stages, and while there was optimism at first that the French superstar would be able to feature in the first leg, it looks like that will be too soon of a comeback. According to a report from Spanish outlet Carrusel Deportivo, Mbappe will have to miss three more weeks with this latest left knee tweak, taking him out of the first leg vs. Pep Guardiola's men. Mbappe was already ruled out for Monday night's tough game against rivals Getafe, which was obvious, and he will also miss the ...
