Updates on Haaland, De Bruyne, and StonesIn the wake of a stellar 4-0 triumph over Newcastle, Manchester City’s upbeat momentum met a harsh reality check in Madrid.

Erling Haaland missed Manchester City’s 3-1 defeat at Real Madrid on Wednesday, as Pep Guardiola's side missed their star striker badly. Haaland, 24, suffered a knee injury towards the end of City's 4-0 win against Newcastle last weekend.

Fellow defender Manuel Akanji suffered an injury during the first leg of the Madrid tie, a dramatic late 3-2 defeat at the Etihad Stadium. Guardiola confirmed Akanji underwent surgery on an abductor injury and initial reports suggested the Swiss international was likely to have been ruled out for the rest of the season.
