Manchester City top scorer Erling Haaland has been ruled out of his side's trip to face Leeds with an injury suffered in training. Pep Guardiola is without Erling Haaland for the clash with Leeds at Elland RoadPrior to kick-off, Guardiola said: 'Two days ago, in the last moments of training, Haaland had a little injury. After City's defeat by Bodo/Glimt in the Champions League, he suggested playing too many games may have played a part. If it’s not man marking, it’s long balls… Every three days doing that for a striker like Erling is unsustainable. 'We have to make alternatives to try and have the dream so he can play and play and play more.'

Sir, – It is profoundly depressing to see a last-minute legal challenge has been lodged against the Land Development Agency’s (LDA’s) flagship residential scheme in Dundrum. The project is set to deliver 934 badly needed new homes, of which 753 are to be designated as affordable/cost-rental and 181 as social homes. Furthermore, the scheme has been significantly amended from its original design following extensive consultation with local groups and residents. As a neighbour living in the area, I can confirm it now enjoys broad support from the local community. I appreciate the issue of judicial reviews is being considered by the Government and a remedy can’t come fast enough.

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor may have to put up with farmyard smells when he moves into his new home on the Sandringham estate - after staff dumped a giant manure heap next to it. Tractors and trailers have transported tons of muck to a spot just over 200 yards away from the rear of Marsh Farm, where Andrew is expected to live in the long term on the Norfolk estate. Workers have also been seen spreading what appears to be manure on dozens of newly planted trees in a field next to Wood Farm where the disgraced former prince is currently staying. Three workers were seen dumping muck from a tractor and trailer around the base of young trees, just a few yards from Andrew's front door at Wood Farm around ten days after he moved in. Thames Valley Police swooped on Wood Farm early last Thursday and arrested Andrew on suspicion of misconduct in a public office.
