Kai Havertz\u00a0(knee) and\u00a0Gabriel Jesus\u00a0(knee) are also still sidelined.<\/p>\n
Ben White (unspecified) and Martin Odegaard (shoulder) sat out Tuesday\u2019s win over Athletic Club, the latter having suffered a recurrence of his old injury in Gameweek 4. White was said to be \u201cokay\u201d last Friday<\/a> but hasn\u2019t featured since.<\/p>\n William Saliba\u00a0(ankle) returned to the matchday squad in midweek.<\/p>\n Viktor Gyokeres, who was bloodied in the San Mames, and Mikel Merino also seem to be okay<\/a> despite suffering head injuries.<\/p>\n ASTON VILLA<\/p>\n Youri Tielemans picked up a calf injury last weekend and sat out the midweek cup tie with Brentford. Unai Emery thinks he\u2019ll be back in 1-2 weeks.<\/a><\/p>\n Ross Barkley\u00a0(personal),\u00a0Andres Garcia\u00a0(unknown) and\u00a0Amadou Onana\u00a0(hamstring) all remained out on Tuesday but Boubacar Kamara\u00a0(hamstring) made a return to action in the clash with the Bees.<\/p>\n Victor Lindel\u00f6f\u00a0sat out the game in west London with a \u201csmall injury\u201d<\/a>.<\/p>\n BOURNEMOUTH<\/p>\n Bafode Diakite (soreness) and Ryan Christie (knock) both missed the Gameweek 4 win over Brighton and Hove Albion, with Andoni Iraola more confident of the latter\u2019s recovery<\/a> for the Newcastle United game.<\/p>\n Adam Smith\u00a0(hamstring) and Enes Unal\u00a0(knee) remain out.<\/p>\n BRENTFORD<\/p>\n Gustavo Nunes\u00a0(hamstring) was earmarked to rejoin training this week<\/a>, while Paris Maghoma\u00a0(hamstring) is already with the squad.<\/p>\n Tuesday\u2019s cup clash with Aston Villa came too soon for both players.<\/p>\n BRIGHTON AND HOVE ALBION<\/p>\n Reports suggest<\/a> Maxim De Cuyper has escaped serious injury despite his collision with the advertising hoardings in Gameweek 4. He remains a doubt for the weekend, however, and wasn\u2019t spotted in the midweek training gallery.<\/a><\/p>\n Mats Wieffer\u00a0(knee), who has missed the last two games, also wasn\u2019t sighted.<\/p>\n Jack Hinshelwood (ankle) is facing a spell on the sidelines<\/a> with the injury he picked up at Bournemouth, meanwhile.<\/p>\n Adam Webster\u00a0(knee) and\u00a0Solly March\u00a0(knee) remain out, too.<\/p>\n Diego Gomez (illness) could return, having trained this week.<\/p>\n The Brighton boss said last week that young Greek attacker\u00a0Charalampos Kostoulas\u00a0is \u201cstill not there\u201d in terms of Premier League-readiness.<\/p>\n BURNLEY<\/p>\n Lesley Ugochukwu serves a one-match ban after being sent off for two bookable offences in Gameweek 4.<\/p>\n Zeki Amdouni\u00a0(knee) is still on the sidelines for the Clarets, while\u00a0Jordan Beyer\u00a0(hamstring) and\u00a0Conor Roberts\u00a0(knee)\u00a0are unlikely to be ready to return despite stepping up their rehab on the grass.<\/p>\n Jacon Bruun Larsen could be back, however. Scott Parker didn\u2019t risk him against Liverpool because of a knock to his heel.<\/a><\/p>\n CHELSEA<\/p>\n Enzo Maresca thinks that Cole Palmer is fine, despite the England international appearing to experience groin discomfort in a 90-minute run-out against Bayern Munich on Wednesday.<\/p>\n \u201cCole, I think he\u2019s okay. I asked him at the end, he said that he\u2019s okay.\u201d \u2013 Enzo Maresca, speaking after full-time on Wednesday<\/p>\n Estevao\u00a0came off the bench in Germany, having missed last weekend\u2019s game due to illness.<\/p>\n Elsewhere,\u00a0Levi Colwill\u00a0(knee), Dario Essugo (thigh) and Liam Delap\u00a0(hamstring) are out for the medium to long term. Mykhailo Mudryk\u00a0remains suspended, too.<\/p>\n Benoit Badiashile\u00a0and\u00a0Romeo Lavia\u00a0returned to training over the international break but didn\u2019t feature in Gameweek 4 or in the defeat in Munich.<\/p>\n CRYSTAL PALACE<\/p>\n Ismaila Sarr\u00a0(muscle), Chadi Riad\u00a0(knee) and\u00a0Cheick Doucoure\u00a0(knee) are still out, with the former aiming for a Gameweek 6 return.<\/p>\n Eddie Nketiah\u00a0(hamstring) and\u00a0Adam Wharton (muscle) \u201cmaybe have a chance\u201d<\/a> for this weekend.<\/p>\n EVERTON<\/p>\n We wait to hear from David Moyes on Vitalii Mykolenko\u00a0(unspecified), who missed the draw with Aston Villa despite being described as \u201caround it\u201d<\/a> ahead of that game.<\/p>\n Jarrad Branthwaite\u00a0(hamstring) is expected to remain out.<\/p>\n FULHAM<\/p>\n So far as we\u2019re aware, the Cottagers have no fitness concerns for the clash with Brentford.<\/p>\n LEEDS UNITED<\/p>\n Lucas Perri\u00a0(quad) is expected to still be sidelined in Gameweek 5.<\/p>\n Daniel James could be out, too, after taking a \u201chit into his body\u201d <\/a>in the last-gasp loss to Fulham. He himself had come on as a substitute just 10 minutes earlier.<\/p>\n The fact that Joel Piroe\u00a0(calf) only had a \u201cbig bruise\u201d before missing out in Gameweek 4 suggests he could be in contention to return this week.<\/p>\n LIVERPOOL<\/p>\n Alexander Isak got his first Liverpool minutes in the midweek victory over Atletico Madrid but Arne Slot said after full-time that more managed game-time awaits the Swedish striker in the Merseyside derby.<\/p>\n \u201cA good start, only 60 minutes and now we have to build him up from here. But I can tell you he is not going to play 90 again on Saturday.\u201d \u2013 Arne Slot on Alexander Isak<\/p>\n On the injury front,\u00a0Curtis Jones\u00a0(unspecified issue) was still \u201cnot fit\u201d<\/a> for Wednesday\u2019s win.<\/p>\n Stefan Bajcetic\u00a0(hamstring) has been out for months but is back on the grass.<\/p>\n MANCHESTER CITY<\/p>\n Omar Marmoush\u00a0(knee),\u00a0Rayan Ait-Nouri\u00a0(ankle), Mateo Kovacic\u00a0(Achilles) and\u00a0Rayan Cherki\u00a0(thigh) will all miss Thursday\u2019s clash with Napoli. That game comes three days before City take on Arsenal in Gameweek 5.<\/p>\n \u201cKova is coming back soon. The squad is really good, just now we have a problem already with just 16 players, we need them back. Rayan Ait-Nouri, Rayan Cherki, John [Stones] \u2013 when everyone is back we can rotate and the people on the bench make a good impact on the game. The fatigue will come soon and we need to make everyone involved.\u201d \u2013 Pep Guardiola, speaking on Wednesday<\/p>\n John Stones\u00a0(muscle) returned to training in midweek<\/a> ahead of City\u2019s Champions League opener.<\/p>\n MANCHESTER UNITED<\/p>\n Updates are awaited on Matheus Cunha\u00a0(hamstring),\u00a0Mason Mount\u00a0(unknown) and\u00a0Diogo Dalot\u00a0(muscle), who all missed the Manchester derby.<\/p>\n The social media suggestions<\/a> are that Cunha is training lightly but is expected to miss Gameweek 5.<\/p>\n Lisandro Martinez\u00a0(knee) was pictured back jogging on Wednesday<\/a> but after so long out, the Chelsea game surely comes too soon for him.<\/p>\n NEWCASTLE UNITED<\/p>\n Eddie Howe confirmed the recovery timeline for Yoane Wissa\u00a0(knee) in Wednesday\u2019s pre-match press conference.<\/p>\n \u201cYoane will, we hope, be back after the next international break. So, that\u2019s the plan. Off the top of my head, is it Brighton, I think, the first game? So, that can always change and it\u2019s always flexible, but I think that\u2019s what I\u2019ve been told.\u201d \u2013 Eddie Howe<\/p>\n The Magpies will also be without\u00a0Jacob Ramsey (ankle) until Gameweek 8, too.<\/p>\n Anthony Gordon, available in the Champions League,\u00a0serves the final match of his domestic suspension on Sunday.<\/p>\n NOTTINGHAM FOREST<\/p>\n Ola Aina\u00a0(hamstring) is out for around three months, while Nicolas Dominguez (knee) is still sidelined, too.<\/p>\n Loanee\u00a0Oleksandr Zinchenko is at least available: he couldn\u2019t feature last weekend because Forest were facing his parent club.<\/p>\n Murillo (knock) could be fit, too. While he missed the loss to Swansea City on Wednesday, he was \u201cprogressing well\u201d <\/a>and aiming to be back for Gameweek 5.<\/p>\n SUNDERLAND<\/p>\n Romaine Mundle\u00a0(hamstring), Dennis Cirkin\u00a0(wrist) and\u00a0Leo Hjelde\u00a0(Achilles) remain out.<\/p>\n Dan Ballard\u00a0(groin), Aji Alese\u00a0(shoulder) and\u00a0Luke O\u2019Nien\u00a0(shoulder) could be back for the Aston Villa game<\/a>, however.<\/p>\n Regis Le Bris was hopeful that the injury that kept Enzo Le Fee out of Gameweek 4 wasn\u2019t too serious<\/a>.<\/p>\n TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR<\/p>\n Dominic Solanke\u00a0(ankle) wasn\u2019t fit enough to return for Spurs\u2019 match against Villarreal in midweek. <\/a><\/p>\n Radu Dragusin\u00a0(knee),\u00a0James Maddison\u00a0(knee) and\u00a0Dejan\u00a0Kulusevski\u00a0(knee) are out longer term, too.<\/p>\n Yves Bissouma\u00a0(unspecified issue) hasn\u2019t featured since before the September internationals but he is reportedly surplus to requirements anyway.\u00a0<\/p>\n WEST HAM UNITED<\/p>\n Tomas Soucek begins a three-match ban following his sending off in Gameweek 4.<\/p>\n The Hammers are, as far as we know, injury-free.<\/p>\n WOLVERHAMPTON WANDERERS<\/p>\n Vitor Pereira said after the defeat to Newcastle United last weekend that he would take it \u201cday by day\u201d <\/a>with Jorgen Strand Larsen\u00a0(Achilles). The striker hadn\u2019t trained before Gameweek 4 and missed out.<\/p>\n Ki-Jana Hoever\u00a0has\u00a0ongoing knee discomfort<\/a>, so it remains to be seen if he\u2019s fit.<\/p>\n Jose Sa should be back, at least, as it was only illness that kept him out of the trip to Tyneside.<\/p>\n
