“No, nothing is happening”. I don’t know.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema will miss two preseason matches with Real Madrid after picking up injuries during training.

Arsenal are primed to challenge for the Premier League title this season after they finished third and won the FA Cup in the 2014/15 campaign.
