Early Weekend Team News

Filed under: Team News - Posted by: Mark

Well earlyish anyway. Apologies for the recent radio silence – I’m tied up at a trade show in Germany and typing this from my hotel. I’ll spare you the details though and inform you that I’ve updated the team news section tonight with the latest rumblings and I’ve also done a first pass over the injuries and bans table to coincide.

Notable team news snippets include another knock for Bosingwa. Song back from Olympics for Arsenal. Sidwell struggling for Villa. Babel a possible return for Liverpool. Johnson still a doubt for Fulham. Scharner should return for Wigan.

There you go. Pop over here for all the team news as it stands. I’m away from keyboard all day tomorrow but will endeavour to update this with the very latest in the early evening.
