Talking of which, can there be a happy farewell for the Egyptian star? Furthermore, that does not have to be a departure permanently, of course.

Afternoon League Roundup Big result in the fourth tier, where it's a regional clash of Bristol Rovers v Swindon; relatively local. Swindon are leading 3-0. In the Championship, three early kick-offs at half-time: Norwich 0-0 Southampton Oxford 0-1 Preston Stoke 1-0 Swansea League One Updates: Huddersfield 1-0 Wigan Wimbledon 0-0 Mansfield League Two Scores: Bristol Rovers 0-3 Swindon Salford 1-1 Colchester Later Scores have done in, and it's now Huddersfield 1-1 Wigan, Oxford 1-2 Preston, Salford 1-2 Colchester, Norwich 1-1 Southampton. At Norwich, whose equaliser came from Jovon Makama, Southampton failed to convert a first-half penalty and have now equalised through Ryan Manning. Norwich are back in front, the decisive strike coming from Jovon Makama, his second. Additional Football News News from La Liga, where Real Madrid coach Xabi Alonso said Kylian Mbappe is fit to play on Sunday against Alaves. Mbappe was absent for the European defeat by Manchester City. Alonso stated, "We've got Kylian back, he's ready to play, and tomorrow we'll see and decide if he starts." Real Madrid are without several sidelined players including Trent Alexander-Arnold, Dani Carvajal and Eduardo Camavinga. On that local derby, one fan reported: "Hi. Bristol Rovers 0 Swindon 3 doesn't tell the half of it. Ten League defeats in a row incoming, which is one club record. Five home losses in a row is another club record... It's not much fun being a Gashead these days." For Swindon, Aaron Drinan has followed Rovers' Kacper Lopata in receiving a red card.
