Injuries & suspensions update ahead of Gameweek 34 – latest on Bruno Fernandes, Phil Foden and more

DREAM TEAM brings you all the latest injury, suspension and availability news ahead of Gameweek 34 in one easily digestible dose.

At the time of writing, Phil Foden is the second-most transferred-out player ahead of tonight’s deadline but the Manchester City midfielder is thought to be available having recovered from illness.

The same is true of centre-back Ruben Dias, who also missed the defending champions’ win over Nottingham Forest last time out.

Additionally, Ederson has resumed training this week and “feels good” according to Pep Guardiola so there’s a chance the Brazilian starts against Wolves, despite pessimistic rumours earlier in the week.

PLAY SCORE PREDICTOR AHEAD OF THIS WEEKEND’S ACTION – SOMEBODY MUST WIN £500 IN CASH!

Virgil van Dijk is a major doubt ahead of Liverpool v Tottenham on Sunday.

The Dutchman may have returned to partial training today but at this stage it’s unlikely he’ll be risked with the Reds no longer in the title race for real.

Speaking on his frosty disagreement with Mohamed Salah last weekend, Jurgen Klopp told journalists that things were “completely resolved”.

Fabian Schar may be out for the remainder of the campaign having injured his hamstring last time out, adding to Newcastle’s defensive absentees.

In more positive news for the Magpies, late calls will be made on Nick Pope, Miguel Almiron and Joelinton following the trio’s return to training.

Saturday’s trip to Turf Moor comes too soon for Kieran Trippier.

Bruno Fernandes has never missed a game for Manchester United through injury but the durable midfielder is a doubt for Monday night’s visit to Crystal Palace.

However, Erik ten Hag also said: “We all know Bruno, never rule him out for any game. He will do his best to be available.”

Scott McTominay is also a doubt having hyper-extended his knee – the Scotsman hasn’t yet trained this week.

As for the Eagles, they’ve been boosted by the news that both Marc Guehi and Eberechi Eze are deemed fit enough to feature against the Red Devils in some capacity at least.

Levi Colwill and Christopher Nkunku are the players most likely to return to action among Chelsea’s crocked crop when the Blues take on West Ham on Sunday.

Reece James and Raheem Sterling also returned to partial training prior to the West Londoners’ win over Tottenham but the pair seemingly require more recovery time before they are reintroduced to the matchday squad.

Mikel Arteta told reporters that “everyone is fit and available” ahead of Arsenal’s home game against Bournemouth.

There’s a chance Jurrien Timber may feature after his lengthy spell on the sidelines – the defender has played twice for the Under-21s in recent weeks.

Pedro Neto, Santiago Bueno and Jean-Ricner Bellegard are all available for Wolves again having rejoined training this week but Gary O’Neil did not provide an update on Rayan Ait-Nouri, who has been hampered on and off for a few weeks now.

Everton will be without full-backs Nathan Patterson and Vitaliy Mykolenko against Luton this evening with the latter out for the rest of the season.

In better news, Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Seamus Coleman are back in contention.
