Below is a club-by-club breakdown of all the injuries and suspensions in the Premier League ahead of this week of fixtures. No suspensions pending this week, so all your injury news are below.
You’ll find news and breakdown of the type of injury and when they’re expected to return to action.
AFC Bournemouth
The 2 headlines ahead of this week are Callum Wilson and David Brooks looking like they’ll miss the trip to Anfield.
Wilson has had minor surgery, and Brooks looks likely to miss the next 4 games according to Sky Sports. Nathaniel Clyne is unavailable this weekend as he’s on loan from Liverpool at the moment.
Callum Wilson – knee injury – expected return GW27
David Brooks – ankle injury – expected return GW29
Nathaniel Clyne – unable to face Liverpool – will be available GW27
Lewis Cook – knee injury – expected return next season
Simon Francis – knee injury – expected return unknown
Arsenal
Arsenal has had some real problems at the back with injuries this year. Unai Emery will be hoping to have Mustafi back this weekend, but the others are set to miss out this week.
Shkodran Mustafi – back injury – could return GW26
Sokratis Papastathopoulos – ankle injury – expected return GW27
Granit Xhaka – groin injury – could return GW27
Ainsley Maitland-Niles – knee injury – could return GW26
Hector Bellerín – knee injury – expected return next season
Rob Holding – knee injury – expected return next season
Danny Welbeck – ankle/foot injury – expected return next season
Brighton
No massive concerns for FPL bosses with the injuries at Brighton right now, other than budget enabler, Dale Stephens, who could be fit this weekend following a hip injury.
Dale Stephens – hip injury – could return GW26
José Izquierdo – knee injury – expected return GW27
Burnley
Similarly, at Burnley, there are no massive concerns for FPL managers right now. Lowton could be a decent pick when back if he can wrestle his way into the side.
Matthew Lowton – foot injury – could return GW27
Steve Defour – calf injury – expected return unknown
Aaron Lennon – knee injury – expected return unknown
Jonathan Walters – heel injury - expected return unknown
Cardiff
Camarasa is a great budget option at Cardiff and has been performing well this year. Hopefully, he’ll be back this week, but there’s some talk about him competing with Harry Arter for the spot in midfield. Enforcer Morrison will be a big miss at the heart of the Cardiff defence.
Victor Camarasa – unknown injury – could return GW26
Sean Morrison – abdominal injury – could return GW27
Chelsea
Nothing to report from Chelsea right now as Van Ginkel hasn’t been considered at all this season.
Marco Van Ginkel – knee injury – expected return next season
Crystal Palace
Again, no concerns for FPL bosses here.
Pape Souare – shoulder injury – expected return GW31
Cheikhou Kouyaté – ankle injury – expected return unknown
Everton
Leighton Baines' injury means Lucas Digne is nailed at LB despite his up and down performances lately. Everton really need Mina back to strengthen their defence, and he could feature as early as this week.
Yerry Mina – ankle injury – could return GW26
Phil Jagielka – unknown injury – expected return unknown
Leighton Baines – rib injury – expected return unknown
Fulham
Notable absence here is Andre Schurrle who picked up a knock against Brighton in GW24. He’s expected to be fit for the visit of Manchester United this week.
Andre Schurrle – unknown injury – could return GW26
Timothy Fosu-Mensah – unable to face Man United – expected return GW27
Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa – ankle injury – could return GW27
Marcus Bettinelli – unknown injury – expected return unknown
Cyrus Christie – unknown injury – expected return unknown
Alfie Mawson – knee injury – could return GW31
Huddersfield
It doesn’t look good for Huddersfield this year. Hogg is the potential miss for the Terriers at the moment, but no assets here to really be looked at.
Jonathan Hogg – back injury – could return GW26
Danny Williams – knee injury – expected return GW31
Abdelhamid Sabiri – shoulder injury – expected return GW27
Isaac Mbenza – calf injury – expected return unknown
Leicester City
The absence of Marc Albrighton could open the door for Demarai Gray to get a run in the side, just keep your eyes peeled for the potential return date of Albrighton.
Marc Albrighton – hamstring injury – expected return unknown
Daniel Amartey – ankle injury – expected return GW29
Liverpool
We’ve been waiting with anticipation for the return of TAA to the Liverpool backline which has suffered from injuries lately. This week could be the return of the England fullback. Joe Gomez and Lovren could also be close to a return, although Klopp is playing his cards close to his chest.
Trent Alexander-Arnold – knee injury – could return GW26
Joe Gomez – ankle injury – expected return unknown
Dejan Lovren – hamstring injury – expected return unknown
Georgino Wijnaldum – knee injury – could return GW26
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain – knee injury – expected return GW32
Jordan Henderson – unknown injury – could return GW26
Manchester City
Mendy could be back this week. There were talks he could have been fit for GW25, but obviously, Pep decided to rest him. Watch this space and keep an eye on Leroy Sane's minutes, it’s widely believed Mendy's return could impact the appeal of the winger.
Benjamin Mendy – knee injury – could return GW26
Vincent Kompany – unknown injury – expected return unknown
Claudio Bravo – heel injury – expected return next season
Manchester United
No concern at United for us.
Marcos Rojo – unknown injury – expected return unknown
Newcastle United
Although Newcastle has a growing injury list, not many on here should worry you too much. Dummett was a decent pick for a budget. Keep an eye on Miguel Almirón when he gets into the side.
Miguel Almirón – awaiting international clearance – could be ready GW26
Ki Sung-Yeung – thigh injury – could return GW26
Paul Dummett – thigh injury – expected return GW26
Rob Elliot – unknown injury – expected return GW26
Mohamed Diame – groin injury – expected return GW26
Karl Darlow – elbow injury – expected return GW26
Jonjo Shelvey – thigh injury – expected return GW26
Yoshinori Muto – unknown injury – expected return unknown
Southampton
Hojbjerg has pulled some excellent performances this season, with spectacular goals against Brighton and City (where he was also sent off!), but the big miss is Danny Ings.
Danny Ings – thigh injury – expected return unknown
Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg – ankle injury – expected return GW26
Mario Lemina – abdominal injury – expected return GW31
Michael Obefemi – thigh injury – expected return GW26
Tottenham Hotspur
Two big hitters on the list for Spurs at the minute. I read earlier in the week that Harry Kane could be back in the next couple of weeks, but as it stands he’s set to return for GW29.
Dele Alli – thigh injury – expected return GW27
Harry Kane – ankle injury – expected return GW29
Ben Davies – groin injury – expected return unknown
Watford
Pereyra is having a great season at Watford this year and will be a big miss for them. Femenia had also pulled out a couple of good points returns before he was injured, so keep a lookout for return dates.
Roberto Pereyra – calf injury – expected return unknown
Kiko Femenia – thigh injury – expected return unknown
Isaac Success – thigh injury – expected return unknown
Abdoulaye Doucoure – knee injury – could return GW26
Sebastian Prodl – knee injury – expected return unknown
West Ham
A growing list of injuries for the Hammers at the minute, and you’d like to see this list reduce sometime soon. Potential returns this week for Nasri and Cresswell.
Fabian Balbuena – knee injury – expected return GW29
Samir Nasri – calf injury – could return GW26
Aaron Cresswell – thigh injury – could return GW26
Andriy Yarmolenko – heel injury – expected return GW34
Carlos Sanchez – knee injury – expected return GW33
Manuel Lanzini – knee injury – expected return next season
Jack Wilshere – ankle injury – expected return unknown
Winston Reid – knee injury – expected return unknown
Wolverhampton Wanderers
Many FPL bosses will be waiting on the fitness of Jota who has been red hot lately. Widely expected to be fit for this weekend.
Ruben Vinagre – virus – expected return GW26
Diogo Jota – leg injury – could return GW26
