"What a good day, and what a stupid accident...again. Five years after [my previous nose break], my nose is f---ed up even worse [laughs]. As you see, it's even more cracked the same direction, and when I touch [my nose], my bones are broken inside."

Marc Bernal was one of the two casualties for Barcelona in their recent 2-1 win over Atletico Madrid. The young midfielder picked up a knock and had to be subbed off around the hour mark.

Araujo started the game at right-back but asked to be subbed and was replaced by Bernal in the first half of the match in the Spanish capital.

Rafael Leao has flown to his home country to check on his injury and he will not be back in Italy for a few days, a report claims.

Tavares attempted to chase down a long ball he had played ahead of himself, but the situation quickly escalated. Unable to control his momentum, he slipped and collided heavily with the perimeter structure near the pitch.

Newcastle United defender Sven Botman has undergone successful surgery on a facial fracture. Following concussion protocol, the Dutchman was substituted after suffering the injury during the second half of Sunday's game against Sunderland at St. James' Park.

You can't play at half intensity. You're three times more likely to get injured. It's the worst thing you can do as a footballer.

Athletes Raphinha and Wesley were dropped from the squad this Friday (27) by coach Carlo Ancelotti. Both felt pain in the back of their right thigh during the match against France.

Barça Atlètic player Toni Fernandez has a syndesmosis injury to his left ankle, which occurred during Wednesday's match in Castelló. The estimated recovery time will be around four weeks.

My first reaction was: 'I'm going home, I'm going to be with my family in Argentina. Enough, I don't want to suffer anymore, I want to be well, I want to enjoy life.' But when you are unbalanced, you can say anything because you aren't connected with yourself. I obviously accepted those three weeks of mourning, where I wasn't myself.

It means Lautaro got injured, it's pretty serious. I think he is hurt and he will be out for a while.

Manchester United forward Patrick Dorgu is expected to miss several weeks after sustaining a hamstring injury during Sunday's 3-2 victory over Arsenal. The 21-year-old scored United's second goal with a powerful strike from the edge of the area but was forced off late in the game. Interim head coach Michael Carrick initially suggested the issue could be cramp, but it has since emerged as a more serious problem.
