With Gameweek 38’s ten fixtures all taking place on Sunday, we’re still waiting on the majority of press conferences to be rolled out later today. Here’s what we have so far…
Arsene Wenger has confirmed that Mesut Ozil has recovered from the minor hip problem that forced him to miss last week’s draw at the Etihad. Danny Welbeck is ruled out for nine months with the knee injury sustained against City, whilst Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain remains on the sidelines.
Sam Allardyce has revealed he plans to hand some younger players a run out away to Watford after Sunderland sealed their survival at home to Everton in midweek.
Vincent Kompany, David Silva and Pablo Zabaleta remain sidelined for City’s trip to Swansea. Aleksandar Kolarov requires a late fitness test, whilst Samir Nasri is “working normally” with the squad after missing out last weekend due to illness.
Adam Smith and Sylvain Distin are Bournemouth’s only absentees for the trip to Old Trafford, Eddie Howe has confirmed.
Swansea are optimistic that Jefferson Montero will recover from a hamstring problem in time for the weekend home match against Man City. Lukasz Fabianski is set to be rested, along with Ashley Williams, ahead of turning out for Poland in Euro 2016, whilst Gylfi Sigurdsson and Neil Taylor are both injured.
All this and more has now been updated in the Team News section ahead of Sunday’s deadline. Keep an eye on our official Twitter Stream for breaking news – as the day unfolds, we will issue updates from Friday’s press conferences and refresh our Team News tab accordingly to keep you informed.
