Kiyotake fractures foot: Hannover 96 attacking midfielder Hiroshi Kiyotake will miss the remainder of the first half of the season after being diagnosed with a hairline fracture of his right foot while on international duty with Japan. The 26-year-old picked up the injury while training in preparation for Tuesday's World Cup 2018 qualifier against Cambodia, which Japan won 2-0. Tests carried out in Japan confirmed that Kiyotake had picked up a hairline fracture, which will not need an operation.

Thiago set to miss a month: Bayern Munich confirmed on Tuesday that midfielder Thiago Alcantara will miss up to four weeks after re-injuring his problematic right knee while on international duty. Thiago injured his right knee in Spain's 2-0 win over England last Friday, an MRI scan revealed swelling on the medial ligament and Bayern's medical staff now expect him to miss between three to four weeks. The 24-year-old has injured the medial ligament in his right knee three times in his career and was previously out from February 2014 until April this year.

England

Martial leaves Wembley on crutches: Manchester United striker Anthony Martial is set to have a scan on the foot injury that forced him to leave Wembley on crutches after he played for France in their 2-0 defeat against England. French medical staff were unable to diagnose the extent of the injury in the immediate aftermath of the match, leaving United to make an assessment when their teenage striker returns to their Carrington training base on Wednesday.

There are fears that Martial may have suffered a metatarsal injury that would rule him out of action until the New Year. However, France manager Didier Deschamps has come out to try and reassure the fans that he suffered a slight knock and should be fine. "He was in quite a bit of pain after the match," he said. "He got a kick in the penalty area. I think it's just a knock rather than anything else to the top of his foot."
