'Shown us all what courage means'

Former Arsenal midfielder Kristoffer Olsson has mutually agreed to terminate his contract at FC Midtjylland.

That comes just over a year after the 29-year-old was diagnosed with an acute brain condition.

Olsson graduated from the Gunners' academy in 2013 spending time at Midtjylland on four different occasions.

Last year, he lost consciousness at his home and was then diagnosed with several small blood clots in his brain.

The midfielder has been rehabilitating from that ever since and now he's said to be joining Swedish side Norrkoping where he will be closer to his family.

Midtjylland deputy football director Kristian Bach Bak said: "It's not just a story about sports, but about human strength when life hits unreasonably hard.

"He has shown us all what courage means in practice."

Tours announced

Arsenal and Spurs have confirmed this morning that they will both be touring Asia this summer.

The North London rivals will compete in their first derby outside of the UK in July as part of their tour.

Managing Director at Arsenal, Richard Garlick said: “Everyone at Arsenal is excited to be visiting Hong Kong in July. It’s great to be back with our men’s first team squad after 13 years, and gives us the opportunity to meet so many of our fantastic supporters in the region again.

“As well as training hard and playing the match, we cannot wait to connect with our Hong Kong supporters in this wonderful part of the world.

“Playing against Tottenham Hotspur in the magnificent new Kai Tak Stadium will be a great experience for both teams and supporters, and will be a very important part of our pre-season preparations ahead of the new season.”

Meanwhile, Liverpool are heading to Japan for the first time while also playing for The Standard Chartered Trophy.

Ben Latty, Liverpool Football Club’s chief commercial officer, said: “We’re extremely excited to be returning to Asia for this summer’s pre-season tour and we’re very grateful to our principal partner, Standard Chartered, for their support in sponsoring the Standard Chartered Trophy against AC Milan, 20 years on from that magical night in Istanbul.

“And it’s a great honour for us to enjoy the award-winning and first-rate hospitality of Japan Airlines, our official airline partner, to fly us in comfort and ensure our pre-season tour starts and ends in the best way possible.

“We look forward to bringing our hundreds of millions of fans in Asia closer to the club they love.”

Haaland latest

Manchester City are into the last four of the FA Cup, but they did lose Erling Haaland to injury.

The striker had a weird afternoon as he saw his penalty saved by Kepa Arrizabalaga before missing a one-on-one.

He then slotted home at the start of the second half before suffering an ankle issue.

After the game, Pep Guardiola was asked to provide an update, and he sort of provided one.

Speaking to ITV, he said: "I don't know. I don't know yet. We will have to see."

Haaland was then seen leaving the stadium in a protective boot, so things don't look too positive for the Norweigan...

Bournemouth 1-1 Man City

Potential problem for Erling Haaland here.

The striker gets in a tangle with Lewis Cook and lands on the concrete just in front of the stands.

He clearly has some issue, and even after some treatment, he sits down.

Haaland can't carry on, and Omar Marmoush is the man to replace him.

There is a bit of nonsense between the two sets of players as Bournemouth refuse to put the ball out of play because it isn't a head injury, so they have every right to carry on.

Bournemouth 1-0 Man City - HALF TIME

That is the end of the first 45 minutes, and Bournemouth are in the lead.

As it stands, they will be going to the FA Cup semi-final and not Manchester City.

However, if the Citizens had taken their chances, it would have been very different.

Erling Haaland has missed two big opportunities and also seen his penalty saved by Kepa Arrizabalaga.

Down the other end, the Cherries have scored through their only real chance as Evanilson converted Justin Kluivert's cross/shot after Haaland was denied from the spot.

FA Cup semi-final draw

And just like that, it is over!

No matter what, we were going to have some intriguing ties, and we've got two crackers.

The winner of Bournemouth and Manchester City takes on Nottingham Forest, which wouldn't be easy for either side.

And in the other tie, Crystal Palace are going to take on Aston Villa.

Again, what a brilliant tie.
