Manchester City goalkeeper Claudio Bravo has ruptured his Achilles tendon

Manchester City goalkeeper Claudio Bravo has sustained an Achilles tendon injury in training, the Premier League club have confirmed.
Bravo suffered the injury during a training session on Monday and scans have revealed the Chilean has ruptured the tendon in his left foot.
The 35-year-old, who will now travel to Barcelona for further tests on Thursday, tweeted: "No matter what happens, or how bad it looks today, life will go on, and tomorrow will certainly be better."
Bravo has not featured in the Premier League this season but was part of the side that beat Chelsea 2-0 in the Community Shield.
The former Barcelona goalkeeper was expected to provide back-up for first-choice goalkeeper Ederson when Manchester City travel to face Wolves on Saturday, live on Sky Sports Premier League.
However, Pep Guardiola may have to name academy prospect Daniel Grimshaw among his substitutes at Molineux.
The news is a second injury blow for City in the space of a week after Kevin De Bruyne was ruled out for three months with knee ligament damage.

Granit Xhaka's place in Switzerland's World Cup squad is in doubt after the Arsenal midfielder picked up an injury in training. The Swiss FA confirmed Xhaka had to stop training on Thursday after injuring his knee in a duel. He was not sent to hospital and was instead treated and examined by the physio at the team hotel. A statement on the Swiss FA website said Xhaka reported feeling pain on the outside of his left knee and will be sent for an MRI scan before any further update on the injury is given but they have told Sky Sports: "It is too early to say if he will miss the tournament in Russia". Xhaka is part of coach Vladimir Petkovic's 26-man preliminary squad which also includes Stoke midfielder Xherdan Shaqiri and Arsenal target Stephan Lichtsteiner. Switzerland play Spain in a warm-up match on June 3. They begin the World Cup against Brazil on June 17, before facing Serbia and Costa Rica in group E. via Sky Sports
