Oklahoma defensive end R Mason Thomas is unlikely to play against Alabama on Saturday because of a quad injury. A final decision on Thomas' availability isn't expected until game time, sources told ESPN's Pete Thamel, but he is listed as doubtful on the SEC availability report. Thomas suffered the injury while returning a fumble 71 yards for a touchdown during the Sooners' Nov. 1 win over Tennessee.
Manchester City forward Rayan Cherki has been ruled out for two months with a torn quad. Cherki was left out of City's squad as they slumped to a second successive defeat on Sunday, Pep Guardiola's men letting a 1-0 lead slip in a 2-1 loss to Brighton and Hove Albion. And Guardiola confirmed in his post-match press conference that City would be without Cherki for a prolonged period.
