Elsewhere, Manchester City will take on Borussia Dortmund in a tasty-looking tie, which includes the return of Jadon Sancho to the Etihad.

Neymar will be out for a month

11 Feb: Neymar is set to be out injured for around a month.

Neymar took to social media to express his frustration through a touching message after being informed that he will be out injured for around a month.

“The sadness is great, the pain is immense and the crying is constant,”

“Once again, I will stop for a while doing what I love the most in life, which is playing football. Sometimes I feel uncomfortable because of my style of play, because I dribble and they constantly hit me.

“I don’t know if the problem is me or what I do on the field. It saddens me a lot. It saddens me a lot to hear from a player, coach, commentator or whoever the hell it is, that “you really have to hit him, “he falls”, “he cries”, “a child”, “spoiled” etc.

“It honestly saddens me and I don’t even know how much I can bear it. I just want to be happy playing football. NOTHING ELSE.”

Sergio Ramos

06 Feb: Sergio Ramos has undergone surgery on his left knee

Real Madrid captain Sergio Ramos is set for a spell on the sidelines after successfully undergoing surgery to his left knee on Saturday.

‘Our captain Sergio Ramos has been successfully operated on today for an injury to the internal meniscus of his left knee,’ the club said in a statement.

Reports in Spain on Saturday morning suggested he could be out for six to eight weeks, therefore missing Real’s Champions League round-of-16 tie against Atalanta on February 24 and the Madrid derby on March 7.

01 Dec: Bettors should always look for a mathematical edge

Bettors should always look for a mathematical edge rather than rely on their impulses. It’s also great for bettors to determine how much they should stake.

Prior to placing a bet, bettors should consider six important questions: who, what, when, where, why and how? But it is the how much to bet, we should be interested in.

Pierre Emerick Aubameyang

01 Dec: Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang performances have dropped off

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s performances have dropped off since he signed his new £250,000-a-week Arsenal contract, according to former Tottenham striker Darren Bent.

And Bent has noticed a contrast in his displays since Aubameyang signed new terms earlier this season, claiming he is no longer ‘running, tracking back and putting tackles in’.

The forward scored in Arsenal’s 3-0 win at Fulham on the opening day of the season but since then has bagged one Premier League goal in nine matches. He hasn’t scored in open play since September 12 and on Sunday he had just one shot on target and only nine touches in Wolves’ penalty area.
