Injuries & suspensions update ahead of Gameweek 14: Phil Foden among players ruled out

DREAM TEAM brings you all the latest injury, suspension and availability news ahead of Gameweek 14 in one easily digestible dose.

Phil Foden and Nathan Ake have been ruled out of Manchester City’s trip to Crystal Palace on Saturday.

This weekend also comes too soon for John Stones and Mateo Kovacic while Manuel Akanji is considered a doubt.

As for the Eagles, Adam Wharton and Chadi Riad have returned to training but Oliver Glasner played down their chances of competitive action.

Arne Slot told reporters that Alisson will be “ready very soon” but Caoimhin Kelleher will start Saturday’s Merseyside derby at Goodison Park.

Alexis Mac Allister is suspended having picked up his fifth yellow card of the campaign in midweek.

In regards to the Toffees, Sean Dyche simply said “a couple of knocks but nothing serious” when asked for availability updates.

Mikel Arteta revealed that both Gabriel and Riccardo Calafiori have a chance of making Arsenal’s squad at Craven Cottage but Spanish tactician will wait to see how the defenders react to Saturday’s training session.

No major availability concerns for Chelsea ahead of their meeting with Tottenham on Sunday but Enzo Maresca confirmed that Robert Sanchez will reclaim his place between the sticks after Filip Jorgensen was given a chance against Southampton.

Ben Davies has joined Vicario, Richarlison, Micky van de Ven, Rodrigo Bentancur, Wilson Odobert and Mikey Moore among Spurs’ absentees after injuring his hamstring during his side’s defeat to Bournemouth.

Cristian Romero is due to train before the weekend’s fixture but it’s unclear whether he’ll return to the starting line-up at this stage.

Anthony Gordon and Sandro Tonali are minor doubts having incurred niggles against Liverpool but Eddie Howe said the Newcastle pair “should be okay”.

A late decision will be made on Kieran Trippier’s availability while long-term absentee Sven Botman has taken a step closer to a comeback but is still a few weeks off yet.

Kobbie Mainoo and Lisandro Martinez are back from one-match suspensions but Luke Shaw has suffered a setback and will miss out when Nottingham Forest visit Old Trafford.

Elsewhere, Danny Welbeck has trained for Brighton after missing out in midweek but Fabian Hurzeler couldn’t guarantee a return for the in-form forward.

Joel Veltman is likely to return for the Seagulls with Jack Hinshelwood and Ferdi Kadioglu sidelined.

Dream Team bosses should be aware that 38 players are one yellow card away from a domestic suspension, including Nicolas Jackson, Rayan Ait-Nouri and Bernardo Silva.
