Erling Haaland, a striker for Manchester City, has returned to full-time training after suffering an ankle injury.
The Norwegian, 24, was injured in the team’s 2-1 FA Cup quarter-final victory over Bournemouth on March 30.
While Haaland is recovering, he has been putting together an individual training regimen, but he returned to the first-team on Wednesday.
Although it is unknown when he will return to action, Pep Guardiola is expected to address the situation when he speaks to the media on Thursday before Friday’s Premier League game against Wolves. He has scored 39 goals this season for the club and nation.
The 2024 Olympiad winner, who has an ACL rupture, hasn’t played since last year.
At the end of February, Rodri, a Spanish international, was spotted completing an individual training course at City’s Etihad Campus.
According to sources, his return to action could be positioned for the Club World Cup in June rather than the Premier League’s final four games.
Guardiola stated last week that “Rodri] does well with every training session he does with us.” Rodri wants to play, but the doctor will have to say, “Pep, you have the green light to give him minutes.”
In that situation, I want to rely on the doctors.
City, who is currently fourth in the Premier League, relinquished control of the title after four straight victories to reigning champions Liverpool.
Sheffield’s Crucible Theatre is where BBC Sport journalists are based.
As they entered their World Championship quarter-final on Wednesday evening, Luca Brecel put together a spectacular potting performance to draw level with Judd Trump, who is currently eighth overall.
The “Belgian Bullet” racked off the first four frames in less than an hour as he compiled three-hundred and one-half centuries and a century to take the 7-5 lead overnight after trailing 5-3.
Brecel gave an astonishing performance, which was the kind of performance that helped him win the world title two years ago.
By the time he took the 12th frame, he had won six straight, including the final two from Tuesday’s opening session, outscoring the Englishman 592 to 81 during that purple patch.
Trump, who won the Crucible trophy only once in 2019, regrouped in the middle of the session and compiled a half-century of his own to bring the score to 7-7.
The Brecel barrage was only briefly interrupted by the four-time champion of the event’s 92-run run, which gave him a quick advantage of 8-7.
Trump, however, chose a tactic final frame to make the matchup less risky when it resumes at 19:00 BST.

Because it had everything, what a wonderful World Championship advertisement. The audience was glued to their chairs for a while. They were delighted to leave today.
About 10 shots of Luca’s own could be chosen from the hotshot reel of this World Championship. His shots are some truly incredible.
The King has spoken of the “daunting and at times frightening experience” of receiving a cancer diagnosis, in the most personal reflection of his own battle with the disease. Ahead of hosting a special reception for cancer charities at Buckingham Palace this evening, in a written message Charles told of his appreciation for the “profound impact of human connection”, observing how “the darkest moments of illness can be illuminated by the greatest compassion”.
In the personally penned message for the programme of the event, attended by champions of cancer charities and those who are living with cancer, including radio DJ Adele Roberts, TV personality Ashley Cain, actor Richard E Grant, and the parents of the late campaigner Dame Deborah James, the King highlighted the gravity of 1,000 people a day being handed a cancer diagnosis.

Revealing his own feelings of becoming “among those statistics myself”, he added: “I can vouch for the fact that it can also be an experience that brings into sharp focus the very best of humanity.” Charles was diagnosed with cancer last February following a three night hospital stay at The London Clinic in Marylebone for an enlarged prostate procedure. Subsequent diagnostic tests identified a form of cancer.
The King has continued to have weekly treatment at a London hospital, returning to public duties last April. Since then he has taken on an extraordinary schedule of public work, telling aides he is intently “keen to make up for lost time”. In his message, Charles praised the selfless “care, comfort and reassurance” of all who work in the sector, acknowledging his own experience had led to “an even deeper appreciation of the extraordinary work undertaken”.
The King said: “My wife and I are delighted to host you here this evening to are, comfort and reassurance, celebrate and above all thank those who so selflessly give to the 390,000 people who, sadly, receive a new cancer diagnosis across the U.K. each year. That is over 1,000 new cases every single day.

“Each diagnosis, each new case, will be a daunting and at times frightening experience for those individuals and their loved ones. But as one among those statistics myself, I can vouch for the fact that it can also be an experience that brings into sharp focus the very best of humanity.
“It has certainly given me an even deeper appreciation of the extraordinary work undertaken by the remarkable organisations and individuals gathered here this evening, many of whom I have known, visited and supported over the years. And it has reinforced what I have long observed during these visits – that the darkest moments of illness can be illuminated by the greatest compassion.”
The King and Queen will tonight be joined by The Duchess of Gloucester, not only celebrating the work of the organisations but raising awareness of preventative action people can take to avoid cancer. Guests include representatives from the King and Queen’s patronages, including Macmillan Cancer Support, Breast Cancer Now, Maggie’s and Children’s Hospice South West.
The King and Queen will also watch a performance by the ITV Change + Check Choir, made up of 26 women who all spotted their breast cancer symptoms after seeing the awareness campaign on Lorraine Kelly’s ITV1 programme Lorraine. Dame Deborah James, who also worked on the show, died from bowel cancer aged just 40 in 2022.

Prince William conferred a damehood on the campaigner weeks before she passed away, cementing her legacy raising awareness and helping save others from suffering the same fate. Her Bowelbabe Fund raised £17million to fund the work of scientists at the forefront of bowel cancer research.
The King noted that both he and the Queen continue to be patrons of several cancer focused organisations, often seeing for themselves the incredible work undertaken offering families “sanctuary, understanding and practical assistance”.
In his message Charles wrote: “What strikes us repeatedly is the profound impact of human connection – whether in the careful explanation from a specialist nurse, the hand held by a hospice volunteer, or the shared experience in a support group. These moments of kinship create what I might call a ‘community of care’, one that sustains patients through the most difficult of times.”
In an extraordinary turn of events last year, doctors told the King of his plight just days before his daughter-in-law, the Princess of Wales, was also diagnosed with cancer. Royal sources say the two have “found great comfort” in confiding in one another as they faced their individual battles.
Kate underwent just over six months of preventative chemotherapy and was fortunately told in January that she is now in remission. A senior palace source said the King’s treatment continued to “move in a positive direction as reflected with the very full national and international diary programme” undertaken by the monarch in recent months.

The source emphasised that while progress has been made, his cancer remains in a “managed condition”. Both Charles and the princess have since used their profile to highlight the work of hospitals, medical staff and cancer sufferers. In his address tonight, Charles paid tribute to those working on the front line, saying their efforts meant “a cancer diagnosis need never mean facing the future without hope and support”.
He added: “So to all the researchers pursuing pioneering breakthroughs; to the healthcare professionals providing specialist treatment; to the volunteers offering comfort, or campaigning to raise awareness; and to the fundraisers enabling all this vital work – you have my whole family’s deepest admiration and gratitude.
“Your commitment to early diagnosis, evermore successful therapies and truly holistic care represents the very best our country can offer. This collective endeavour reminds us of what we can achieve when we are united with common purpose and uncommon determination.
“While every patient’s journey may be different, together you are ensuring that a cancer diagnosis need never mean facing the future without hope and support.
“And to those who may be receiving such upsetting news today, tomorrow or at any point in the future, I can only echo the departing words of the late Dame Deborah James, whose parents I am delighted to have with us here this evening, and whose example stands as an inspiration to us all, in sickness and in health: Find a life worth enjoying; take risks; love deeply; have no regrets; and always, always have rebellious hope. I am so very grateful for all that you do.”

Following the breakdown of her marriage to James Haskell, Chloe Madeley has “made a commitment to staying single.” As James moves on, the personal trainer and the daughter of TV legends Judy Finnigan and Richard Madeley declared her support.
Following the release of Chloe’s own reality TV show, they split in 2023 amid rumors of trouble in paradise. Bodhi, the couple’s daughter, and Chloe and James were married for five years.
She has openly discussed their breakup and how difficult it was for them to end their relationship, calling it “one of the worst years of my life.” Since splitting, the TV star has remained single and has not yet returned to the dating scene.
However, James’ breakup with Chloe has drawn him to two women. Sara McLean and James recently posed for a photo at the Cheltenham Festival while Sara McLean was playing the game.
This year’s Cheltenham Festival, James and Sara McLean (Tim Merry/Staff Photographer) held hands.
Chloe made the decision to reveal her own love life to fans as James’ new romances became public. In a candid Q and A session with fans, she insisted that she was not seeking a new partner.
What qualities do you seek in a man, asks a question? “I don’t [laughing emoji] I’m very happily committed to being and staying single,” Chloe responded, “I don’t [laughing emoji] I’m very happily committed to being and staying single.”
Chloe shared a very cryptic post on social media after catching James and Sara at the horse racing competition. A sheep was captured on video with a huge bucket covering its head.
Me:” was the title of the video’s caption, which implied that she was represented by the sheep. Additionally, the title read, “It’s so nice in here.” She’s at a place in her life where peace is a top priority and negativity cannot exist, according to the audio’s subtitles above the video. She no longer has the same level of energy.
She is merely removing herself from any circumstance that doesn’t resonate with her soul. She’s moving on, then, if you start moving funny.
Bodhi, the daughter of Chloe and James, is being co-parenting through Instagram.
Chloe later stated in her Stories that she is “more joyful than I’ve been in years and I’m not emotionally involved in anyone else’s love life in any way, shape or form.”
James recently thanked her for making a lasting impression on him while speaking on the podcast Spooning with Mark Wogan.
He said, “Chloe is an amazing woman, very talented, and she has greatly improved my life since we have split.” You split primarily because you want to ensure your daughter’s life is the best it can be.
And he continued to stress the importance of their daughter Bodhi’s well-being and ability to work together as parents: “And I think when you have a child, all of your other wishes go out of the window.”
Chloe is more vocal because she wears her heart on her sleeve, she says, “because it’s important for us to co-parent and do things.”

In response to Trump’s widespread disruptions caused by his tariff policies, former president Joe Biden is to blame for the decline of important economic indicators during his first months in office.
The US economy experienced its first-ever quarterly decline in three years, contracting by 0.3% in the process. The economy increased by 2.4% over the previous three months of 2024.
Trump stated in a post on his website Truth Social that “this is Biden’s stock market, not Trump’s.” “Tariffs will soon start to kick in, and businesses are registering record numbers of new business in the USA. Our nation will prosper, but we must eliminate the “Overhang” between Biden and him. This will take some time because he only left us with subpar numbers, but it will be unlike any other boom when it starts. AGREE! “!
Trump’s policies, which he introduced as president, have stymied financial markets amid concerns about an escalating trade war and uncertainty surrounding the tariff policies.
Imports increased in the first quarter as US companies sought to avoid higher costs that might come with upcoming tariff increases. However, inflation is still at a low. Consumer prices increased by 2.3 percent in March from 2.5% in February, up from 2.3 percent in February.
Press secretary Karoline Leavitt refuted Trump’s claims that Biden was to blame for any trouble in a press release from the White House, adding that the Wednesday economic report showed “strong economic momentum.”
The underlying statistics reveal the true extent of the strong momentum President Trump is delivering, Leavitt said. “It’s no surprise that the leftovers from Biden’s economic disaster have been a drag on economic growth.
The US’s declining economic indicators are attributable to Trump’s chaotic approach to tariffs, according to many economists. The S&, P 500 has decreased by about 7.3 percent since taking office.
According to Carl Weinberg, chief economist at High Frequency Economics, “If the blowout on trade was the result of firms pre-buying imported inputs to beat the tariffs, the decline in the trade balance will reverse in the second quarter.” That will lead to some GDP growth, the author predicts. By the end of this year, the GDP will be back in decline due to the corrosive uncertainty and higher taxes, which are a tax on imports.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stated last week that current rates were not “sustainable,” suggesting that the White House might reduce tariffs with important US trading partners like China.
As Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez is under increasing pressure to explain what went wrong, Spain’s grid operator has denied that solar power was to blame for the country’s worst blackout.
On Wednesday, Red Electrica de Espana (REE) stated that two separate instances of generation loss have been reduced to substation losses in southwest Spain, but that it is too early to make any conclusions because it has not yet located them in its exact location.
Former Socialist minister Beatriz Corredor, the head of REE, claimed that Spain’s high level of renewable energy was to blame for the failure.
She continued, adding that she was not thinking about leaving because “these technologies are already stable and they have systems that allow them to operate as a conventional generation system without any safety issues.”
After a power outage on Monday that temporarily halted trains, shut airports, and trapped people in lifts in Spain and Portugal, life was returning to normal.
According to REE data, Spain’s solar energy contributed almost a third of the country’s electricity production just before the system crashed, with wind and nuclear energy accounting for almost a third.
After his left-wing coalition government invested in expanding the renewable energy sector, his political opponents criticized Sanchez for putting forth an overly lengthy explanation of the blackout and suggested he was hiding behind mistakes.
We can only point to the malfunction of REE because it has state funding and its leaders are appointed by the government, according to Miguel Tellado, a People’s Party parliamentary spokesperson in an interview with RTVE.
Tellado demanded that Spain’s parliament conduct an independent investigation rather than Sanchez’s government investigation. Despite REE rejecting this, the prime minister has not ruled out a cyberattack.
The grid’s instability, according to Antonio Turiel, an energy expert at the state-owned Spanish National Research Council, is the main cause of the energy crisis, according to Antonio Turiel, a researcher with the state-owned Spanish National Research Council.
He claimed that “a lot of renewable energy has been integrated without the responsive stabilization systems that should have been in place.” He added that vulnerabilities resulted from “the unplanned and haphazard integration of a host of renewable systems.”
To upgrade the power grid to handle the rise in demand from data centers and electric vehicles, the government had predicted private and public investments of about 52 billion euros ($59 billion) through 2030.
