DREAM TEAM brings you all the latest injury, suspension and selection updates ahead of Game Week 8 in one easily digestible dose.
Aleksandar Mitrovic’s (£4.5m) injury isn’t as bad as first feared but Marco Silva said the Serbian forward was still ‘a doubt’ for Fulham’s visit to West Ham on Sunday.
The Cottagers’ No9 is expected to return for certain against Bournemouth in Game Week 10.
Matt Cash (£2.4m) is available for selection again having returned to training following a hamstring issue but Aston Villa may be without Leon Bailey (£2.5m) this weekend.
Wesley Fofana (£3.2m) will be out for a few weeks but the Chelsea centre-back’s knee injury is not as bad as initially feared.
Graham Potter added that Marc Cucurella (£3m) ‘will be involved’ but N’Golo Kante (£2.8m) is yet not ready to participate as the Blues host Wolves on Saturday.
Wilfred Ndidi (£1.7m) is once again struggling with a hamstring injury and will be sidelined for a few weeks.
Eddie Howe told reporters that Newcastle’s backroom staff are taking a cautious approach with Alexander Isak (£3.6m) saying that the Sweden international ‘won’t be out for too long’.
The Magpies may be able to call upon Allan Saint-Maximin (£3.4m) as they host Brentford on Saturday as the French dribbler has ‘trained well’ this week – Joelinton (£2.5m) is available.
Pedro Neto’s (£2.5m) ankle injury requires surgery and the Portuguese youngster has sadly been ruled out of the World Cup, meaning December is his earliest possible return date.
Andy Robertson (£4.6m) and Curtis Jones (£2m) are both ‘close’ to regaining full fitness but the suggestion from Jurgen Klopp at his press conference was that Liverpool’s trip to the Emirates on Sunday comes too soon.
Luis Sinisterra (£3.2m) will serve his one-match suspensions having been shown two yellow cards against Aston Villa last weekend.
Kyle Walker (£3.8m) has undergone surgery on his groin and will be out for a few weeks, possibly even missing the World Cup.
