Manchester City’s Rodri returns to training.

Months after rupturing his anterior cruciate ligament in the 2-2 draw against Arsenal, Manchester City’s Ballon d’Or winner Rodri has been seen in training, boosting the possibility of him playing again this year.

The Spaniard’s absence has been badly felt by the Cityzens as they’re 20-odd points behind Liverpool in the title race and out of the Champions League after losing to Real Madrid in the playoffs. Rodri is targeting the Club World Cup in June; however, Guardiola has asked for caution amidst the excitement.

Garnacho to feed the lads as punishment

Following his walk straight to the dressing room after being substituted in the first half of Manchester United’s win over Ipswich on Wednesday, Ruben Amorim has revealed that the Argentine will be duly punished by the club.

After Patrick Dorgu saw red for a reckless tackle in the first half, Amorim yanked off Garnacho to restructure the team, and it was a decision that didn’t go down well with Garnacho as he stormed down the touchline into the dressing room. Amorim said Garnacho will buy lunch for the entire team.

Harry Kane to finally win a trophy?

Bayern Munich rallied in the second half to beat Stuttgart 3-1, handing them an eleven-point gap at the top over defending champions Bayer Leverkusen. Is Harry Kane finally going to win a trophy?

The England captain endured trolls as a Tottenham player, following his trophy drought, and with an eleven-point cushion at the summit, Bayern Munich is destined for the Bundesliga again, with an eye on the Champions League.

Fenerbahce charges Gala to court over Mou accusations.

Galatasaray had accused Jose Mourinho, the head coach of their closest rivals Fenerbahce, of racism in what they call an "unequivocally inhumane rhetoric" when he said the Galatasaray bench was jumping around like monkeys. Fenerbahce has now charged Galatasaray to court for the accusations.

Fenerbahce rejected the accusation, saying the statement by their coach was taken completely out of context and would resist any attempt to hound their manager into what he didn’t commit as a crime; this would be fun to look at from the outside.
