All this faking a limp is rubbish, he won't play this weekend, hopefully fit week after but looks concerning

He was seen laughing when he came out of the medical complex

So because he was laughing means he was faking limping? Sorry I don't see the link

Pretty wishful thinking that he’s faking the limp imo. Just glad it’s nothing serious, but not sure he’ll be risked at Leicester. Good opportunity for Alvarez though if Haaland isn’t available.

Just spotted this brief video on YouTube:

One of the comments reads “this is getting out of hand, they are two of them”. Made me laugh!

Be gutted if he’s injured but at least the World Cup gives him plenty of rest.

Something to actually like about this World Cup now :-)

How would you describe the knack he has of scoring the amount of goals he does if it isn't "pure footballing ability"? Isn't it an old saying that the hardest thing to do in football is actually scoring goals? To me, that makes what he does an ability/skill/talent. I'm not sure anyone at the club, or in the stands, is looking for him to dribble past 4 players, and then square it across for a Foden/Grealish/Mahrez tap in.

Well said. Why would a team with several players who can dribble past 4 and then square it for a tap-in buy another player who can do that? Especially when there is a finishing chances issue, obviously in those circumstances you would buy a player who is better at finishing chances.

3 league games plus a champions league and league cup fixture before his World Cup break. It is an interesting decision whether he plays any and obviously dependant on the injury. He is on fire in terms of goal scoring however we can’t risk aggravating a minor injury. Also we have a team that should quite comfortably negotiate those fixtures without him, although it would be disappointing not to see him continue his good form.
