Injuries & suspensions update ahead of Gameweek 36 – Ederson ruled out, Anthony Gordon doubtful

DREAM TEAM brings you all the latest injury, suspension and availability news ahead of Gameweek 36 in one easily digestible dose.

Ederson has been ruled out of Manchester City’s final Premier League game of the campaign, as well as the FA Cup final, having fractured his eye socket against Tottenham last time out.

Stefan Ortega, who deputised for the Brazilian with aplomb at Spurs, will start at home to West Ham on Sunday and at Wembley the following weekend.

Kevin De Bruyne is due to be assessed after today’s training session – the Belgian playmaker took a nasty challenge in midweek but sounded hopeful after the game.

Mikel Arteta’s press conference was lacking in team news but Arsenal’s tactician previously stated that Bukayo Saka “should be fine” following the winger’s substitution against Manchester United.

Nicolo Zaniolo has joined Aston Villa’s rather lengthy injury list after fracturing his foot.

Unai Emery won’t take any risks with Matty Cash, Youri Tielemans or Morgan Rogers either with the Villains already guaranteed Champions League football next season.

Andy Robertson, Thiago Alcantara and Diogo Jota were all pictured in Liverpool training this week but Jurgen Klopp did not offer updates on the trio’s availability.

As for the Reds’ opponents, Pedro Neto is expected to be among Wolves’ squad at Anfield having returned to training.

Ross Barkley will not feature in what is almost certain to be Luton’s last game in the Premier League before relegation is confirmed.

The Hatters’ Player of the Season injured his calf last weekend.

Concussion protocols prevent Mykhailo Mudryk from being involved against Bournemouth but Carney Chukwuemeka may take the Ukraine international’s place in Chelsea’s squad.

Reece James is set to serve the first of his four-game ban having received his second straight red card of the campaign.

Conversely, Milos Kerkez is available for the Cherries following his recent suspension.

Eddie Howe was typically vague in his response to a query about Anthony Gordon’s condition.

The Newcastle boss said he was “not 100% sure” whether the in-form winger would travel to Brentford this weekend.

After the Magpies’ defeat at Old Trafford, Gordon himself said: “I’m not too sure how good my ankle will be.”

In more positive news, Callum Wilson is expected to make the matchday squad at the very least – Fabian Schar returned in midweek.

Lewis Dunk is not available for Brighton ahead of Manchester United’s visit to the Amex while Tariq Lamptey faces a late fitness test.
