Kyle Walker hands England injury scare to highlight unique challenge of mid-season World Cup
The Independent says It was a largely unremarkable night for Manchester City, especially as their centre-forward is making the extraordinary seem everyday. Another two goals for Erling Haaland put Pep Guardiola’s side on the verge of qualifying for the Champions League knock-out stages at a canter. Haaland now has a barely credible 19 in his last 12 games. Copenhagen’s goalkeeper Kamil Grabara was left asking Jack Grealish if his team-mate is human.
So far, so standard for the outstanding season that City, powered by Haaland’s goals, are threatening to put together. Yet at the end of a routine 5-0 win, there was one post-match revelation which may have consequences beyond the Etihad.
