Fans will love Real Madrid’s plan for Kylian Mbappe vs. Manchester City

Kylian Mbappe is set to return from another absence due to a recurring left knee issue, but now that he is rested and healed up, he will be a part of the squad against Manchester City this week for the second leg of the Champions League Round of 16. According to a report from journalist Jose Luis Sanchez, Mbappe may not play even though he is available. Because if the match is going well, Real do not plan on risking Mbappe, and they are instead leaving him in as an option in case they truly need him. Without Mbappe and Jude Bellingham, Madrid still destroyed Man City 3-0 behind a hat trick from Fede Valverde, so chances are they do not need him in the second leg, which means extra rest for the Frenchman before Atletico Madrid. It is a sensible strategy from the Merengues. Rest Mba...

Manchester United get the perfect Lisandro Martinez injury news update

Manchester United are dealing with an injury crisis at center back, but they are anxiously awaiting the return of star man Lisandro Martinez any day now. He has been out for about a month with a calf injury. According to a report from the Daily Mail's Chris Wheeler, Martinez is expected to be back in the lineup for the Red Devils next week in the Premier League when Man United take on Bournemouth in a tricky Friday night fixture. Having Martinez back will be huge for a defensive unit that has been improved under Michael Carrick but still has its cracks, particularly with Matthijs de Ligt out for potentially the rest of the season and young Leny Yoro struggling for form. Martinez has that something special with his bulldog playing style that still makes him arguably Man United's mo...

Real Madrid get massive Eder Militao injury news

Eder Militao has missed 21 games, out since early December with a torn muscle fiber, and the Real Madrid defense has been predictably reeling with by far their best defensive player out for months with another serious injury. But the great news for Madridistas is that Militao is on the verge of returning. Per a report from MARCA, the Brazilian international is now in the final stretch of his recovery and is even in play to return at the end of the month of March. It is more likely, though, that Real Madrid give him additional risk to protect him from further injury, waiting until after the March international break for the world class center back to play. So while Militao will not be able to boost the Madrid defense against Atletico Madrid or against Manchester City, he will be ab...

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 provides positive Marc Cucurella injury news

Chelsea star left back Marc Cucurella has missed the last two matches with a hamstring injury, but it sounds like the Spanish international will be returning back to the Blues shortly. Ahead of Wednesday night's next big game for Chelsea against top five contenders Aston Villa, Blues manager Liam Rosenior stated that the club aim on having Cucurella back on Saturday in the Fifth Round FA Cup clash against the fabled Wrexham, via Absolute Chelsea: "Cucu is looking really good, hopefully we can get him involved for Saturday [if he isn't available for Aston Villa]. Estevao is back on the pitch running, which is great." Jorrel Hato was fantastic at left back against Arsenal for Cucurella, recording three tackles and three interceptiosn while playing decent enough on the ball, focusing...
