PEP GUARDIOLA PLAYS IT COOL: FOUR-WORD UPDATE ON ERLING HAALAND’S FITNESS WOES
Pep Guardiola provides an update on Erling Haaland's injury after Man City's loss to Aston Villa. The striker is hopeful to be fit for the Premier League clash vs Bournemouth, potentially resting in the Carabao Cup.

Erling Haaland's injury worries were not allayed by Pep Guardiola, who just expressed his optimism that his star striker will be "fine" for Manchester City's next games.
When Haaland clattered into the post late in the Cityzens' 1-0 loss to Aston Villa, travelling Man City fans held their breath. In the 90th minute, the Norway international appeared to have given his team the equaliser, but a VAR review disallowed the goal for offside.
After hitting the woodwork, Haaland stayed on the ground in obvious discomfort, but as the last few minutes passed at Villa Park, he played out the game without needing to be substituted.
Guardiola gave a quick update on Haaland's injury concern following the game, saying, "Hopefully he is alright."
The good news for Man City is that they will play Swansea City on Wednesday, October 29, in the fourth round of the Carabao Cup. To give No. 9 a few more days to recuperate, Guardiola should not require Haaland to play against the Championship team.
By the time second-place Bournemouth visits the Etihad on Sunday, November 2, the Spanish manager hopes to have Haaland, who has already scored 24 goals for his club and country this season, fully recovered.
Guardiola also offered his thoughts on the Premier League title fight following Man City's loss. The Cityzens are now in fifth position, six points behind league leaders Arsenal, after dropping points against Aston Villa.
However, Guardiola is currently concentrating just on improving his team because there is still a lot of time left in the season.
According to Guardiola, "we aim to close [the margin]." Arsenal has been reliable for a long time. The issue is how we can get closer to each other.
In my experience, it is somewhat lengthy. We try our best, but there are a lot of teams there—Bournemouth is playing pretty well. Watching the title is not our responsibility. Congratulate [Arsenal] if they win every game and the Premier League. However, I think the team is doing well and is alive," Guardiola concluded.
The 10-time English champions' nine-game winning streak came to an end with Man City's defeat to Aston Villa. Guardiola will be keen to get his squad back to winning ways and in a better position ahead of the November international window, especially with games against Bournemouth and Liverpool coming up in the next two weeks.
DISCIPLINARY BLOW: MADRID PLAYER SUSPENDED POST EL CLáSICO TUSSLE
Real Madrid's backup keeper Andriy Lunin has been handed a one-game suspension by the RFEF for his aggressive conduct on the bench during the heated final moments of El Clásico. Real Madrid's appeal was rejected.

Los Blancos' goalie Andriy Lunin has been suspended for one game by the RFEF Disciplinary Committee for his involvement in the sideline dramas during the El Clásico's final moments. Although the cameras did not catch it, referee Soto Grado did record that he had sent the Ukrainian off.
According to Mundo Deportivo, the RFEF responded as follows when asked why Lunin received a red card.
The reason for Lunin, Andrii's expulsion in the 90th minute was that he had to be restrained by his teammates after he walked aggressively from his bench to the blonde bench.

"When considered significant, those whose behaviour violates sporting order will be suspended for four to ten games or fined between 602 and 3,006 euros."
Because of Lunin's actions, which constituted a minor violation of the sporting order, he was suspended for one game. The ruling had been challenged by Real Madrid. However, the RFEF stayed steadfast, defending the referee's ruling and the evidence in the match report and on film.
Now, the backup goalie will not play against Valencia this weekend, where he is probably going to be benched. Fran Gonzalez and Sunico, both from the youth team, might be called up as the matchday squad's third choice, with Sergio Mestre serving as a backup.
No Barcelona players or any other Real Madrid players were slapped with bans following the two flash moments in the closing stages of the game. When Vinicius Jr. and Lamie Yamal argued, even players who were not on the team were spotted shoving on the side of the field. The RFEF, however, determined that nothing that came to pass would justify further prohibitions.

According to Bukayo Saka, it is feasible for Arsenal and England to win both games this season. The season has started well for the Gunners under Mikel Arteta's leadership.
Arsenal leads the Premier League standings by four points at the moment and is starting to look like a title contender. Manchester City is only one point ahead of defending champions Liverpool, who are seven points behind.
Saka, however, is not only interested in winning at his club; he also hopes to succeed internationally. Manager Thomas Tuchel has stated that winning the trophy is his ambition for England, who have qualified for the World Cup in the USA next year.
Saka is optimistic about his club's and his nation's chances of winning. "Yeah, that is my prayer," he remarked in an interview with Sky Sports. It is possible, of course.
