Former Paris Saint-Germain defender Thiago Silva has revealed the circumstances behind the "rift" which developed between Kylian Mbappe and Neymar during the latter stages of their time together at the Parisian giants.

Real Madrid star Kylian Mbappe managed to reach 70 goals with the merengue side, and the comparison emerged: how quickly did Cristiano Ronaldo achieve that milestone?

Real Madrid forward Kylian Mbappe may have revealed he is ready to face Alaves in an Instagram post after a recent injury.

Wesley Fofana believes that Cole Palmer is on par with Kylian Mbappe and Ousmane Dembele, and the Chelsea sensation can now be unleashed after his first strike in nearly three months during the 2-0 win over Everton. Palmer spearheaded the Blues to their first win in December, with the 23-year-old breaking the deadlock through a composed finish.

Dani Carvajal (knee), Ferland Mendy (muscle), Trent Alexander-Arnold (thigh), Eder Militao (hamstring), Endrick (suspended), Fran Garcia (suspended) and Alvaro Carreras (suspended) are all definitely out of the contest this weekend.

Xabi Alonso finds himself under intense scrutiny after a run of inconsistent results, while Jurgen Klopp—despite stepping away from the dugout—has once again been linked with the most demanding job in club soccer.

They are both claiming extraordinary sums of money. Mbappe’s legal side are seeking €263million (£230m; $309m) in total, while PSG have filed a counterclaim against Mbappe, asking for around €440m in damages. A decision on that is expected on December 16.
