DREAM TEAM brings you all the latest injury, suspension and availability news ahead of Gameweek 4 in one easily digestible dose.
Manchester United’s defensive problems have been compounded by news of an injury to Raphael Varane (£3.7m) that may keep the Frenchman out until the end of the month – he joins Luke Shaw (£4.9m) on the sidelines.
In brighter news for Erik ten Hag, Rasmus Hojlund (£4m) is available to make his debut for the club on Sunday while new recruit Sergio Reguilon (£2m) is also in contention to feature for the Red Devils against Arsenal.
Juanma Lillo, still filling in for Pep Guardiola, informed journalists that both Manuel Akanji (£4.7m) and Phil Foden (£4.5m) have recovered from illness.
The Swiss defender wasn’t in Manchester City’s squad in Gameweek 3 while the England midfielder was limited to a few minutes at the death – he provided the assist for Rodri’s (£4.3m) winner at Bramall Lane.
Richarlison (£2.4m) was substituted during Tottenham’s Carabao Cup exit to Fulham in midweek with a knock but Ange Postecoglou listed Giovani Lo Celso (£2m) as his only new injury concern.
Roy Hodgson revealed that Sam Johnstone (£1.8m) will start for Crystal Palace against Wolves despite the addition of Dean Henderson (£2.5m) to the Eagles’ ranks.
New signing Ansu Fati will not be available for Brighton when Newcastle visit the Amex on Saturday.
Danny Welbeck (£2.4m) has also been ruled out but Roberto De Zerbi told reporters the striker’s muscular issue is “not so bad”.
As for the Magpies, a late decision will be made on Sven Botman (£3.9m) after the defender had a scan on his ankle – Joelinton (£2.9m) is also a doubt.
