MANCHESTER CITY
Pep Guardiola expects Erling Haaland to be out until May with the ankle injury he sustained in Sunday’s cup tie at Bournemouth.
Manchester City had hinted that the Norwegian would be out for a considerable period of time in an update on Monday, with Guardiola putting more of a timeframe on it in his presser.
“They told me, the doctors between five and seven weeks, so hopefully the end of the season and the World Cup he’ll be ready.” – Pep Guardiola on Erling Haaland
Guardiola went on to discuss how City will replace their top scorer.
“We will find a solution for the players that we have, different skills and qualities. We will have another one.”
“We don’t have another player with [Haaland’s] skills or his specific qualities, we know that, but we have to adapt.” – Pep Guardiola when asked if Omar Marmoush was able to step up and fill Haaland’s shoes
“Yeah, definitely. We need players with other qualities, we have to bring more players with a sense of goal close to the box.
“It’s not about training, I know the players who have a sense of goal more than the other ones.” – Pep Guardiola on whether he needs to get other players in more advanced positions to cover for Haaland’s goals
There was no other team news from Guardiola in the broadcast section of his presser.
We do know that Nathan Ake (foot), Manuel Akanji (groin) and John Stones (adductor) are on the medium-term injury list.
It’ll likely be far too early for Rodri (knee), too, despite his return to the grass.
Oscar Bobb (leg/ankle) recently played for the development squad after his own seven-month absence, however, so ought to be closer to a senior comeback.
BOURNEMOUTH
Justin Kluivert is a doubt for the visit of Ipswich Town on Wednesday.
The Dutchman played the entire 90 minutes against Manchester City on Sunday but finished the game with “some issues” and will need to be assessed.
“Still not completely sure because we still have to train this afternoon. It’s less than 48 hours since the end of the game against City. Some players finished with some issues, normal issues. I expect them to be ready. Probably Justin is the one that we’re more in doubt [about] because he finished with some issues. We have to check today if he is ready to go again or at least he can help us for some minutes. The others, normal things after games, knocks, but I hope everyone else could be ready again for tomorrow.” – Andoni Iraola on whether he has any fresh concerns
Marcus Tavernier (ankle), Luis Sinisterra (hamstring) and Enes Unal (knee) remain on the sidelines, too.
Adam Smith (hamstring/calf) and Marcos Senesi (quad) returned on Saturday, while Julian Araujo (hamstring) is also fit again.
Milos Kerkez and Dean Huijsen were suspended in the FA Cup but are back available for league action.
LIVERPOOL
Amid speculation over his future, Trent Alexander-Arnold (ankle) remains sidelined.
In better news, Alisson (head) and Ryan Gravenberch (unspecified) have trained after international break injuries. The goalkeeper has to have one more check today before being cleared to play.
Medium-term absentee Tyler Morton (shoulder) has also been spotted in team training, too.
Joe Gomez (hamstring) and Conor Bradley (muscle) are on the grass, with Bradley the closest to a return – but Gameweek 30 may still come too soon.
“Ryan is okay although we have to train one more time. But he’s okay.
“Ali trained with us as well. The last check has to be made this afternoon, after the session, if he’s avaialble to play.
“Conor is with training with us again but we have to make a decision on whether he’s playing. If playing means coming in or starting, that’s something I keep for myself. He only had a few sessions after being out for quite long with a repetitive injury, so we have to make a smart decision.” – Arne Slot
NEWCASTLE UNITED
Lewis Hall (foot), Sven Botman (knee) and Jamaal Lascelles (knee) remain unavailable, while Anthony Gordon completes a three-match ban following his dismissal for violent conduct in the FA Cup defeat to Brighton and Hove Albion in early March.
Gordon also took a knock while playing for England last week but appears to have avoided serious damage and could be back for Gameweek 31.
“Anthony has a really nasty bruise in and around his thigh/groin area. He is up and running, feeling quite good. He hasn’t trained with the group yet, so we anticipate he’ll do that within the next few days hopefully.
“Sven’s not too bad. He’s had a very minor operation just to clean out some floating bone that was in his knee that was causing him the problem. The initial diagnosis was I think between six and eight weeks but I think he’s already got through two or three of those. He’s on the road, he’s feeling. Fingers crossed we’ll see him in May.
“I don’t know whether we will see Jamaal before the end of the season, I don’t really want to set a target on his time to return. He has started very light training with the squad but that would be light, not necessarily in competitive drills. But on the drills that are non-competitive, he has joined in and he has looked really good. Small steps for him. We are hoping he can definitely be joining in and competing in training before the end of the season. Whether that ties in with the team and whether he gets there in time for competitive action, let’s wait and see.” – Eddie Howe
CRYSTAL PALACE
Chris Richards will miss the trip to Southampton with a minor calf issue.
He joins Chadi Riad and Cheick Doucoure (both knee) on the injury list, while Will Hughes remains suspended.
“We will miss Chris Richards tomorrow. He is struggling a little bit with his calf. It doesn’t look very serious, so we expect him being available against Brighton at the weekend. But tomorrow is too early.
“Will Hughes is still banned but all other players are fit and available.” – Oliver Glasner
Jean-Philippe Mateta (ear) made his return in the FA Cup on Saturday.
BRIGHTON AND HOVE ALBION
Georginio Rutter (ankle) and Adam Webster (muscle) have joined the injury list after picking up issues in the FA Cup quarter-final clash with Nottingham Forest on Saturday.
“Both injuries, I can say they don’t look great. So we have to add them on our injury list. It’s possible [they may be out for the rest of the season].” – Fabian Hurzeler on Georginio Rutter and Adam Webster
We didn’t get any more updates from Fabian Hurzeler in the broadcast section of his presser but the Brighton website quotes their manager as saying Mats Wieffer and Solly March “could be an option”. The pair sat out Saturday’s cup tie.
Tariq Lamptey (foot), James Milner (hamstring), Ferdi Kadioglu (toe), Igor Julio (hamstring) and Jason Steele (shoulder) are out, while Joel Veltman (foot) still wasn’t ready to return in the FA Cup quarter-finals.
Lewis Dunk (ribs) is at least fit again.
ASTON VILLA
Leon Bailey is unlikely to feature in Aston Villa’s clash with Brighton and Hove Albion.
The Jamaica international is still suffering from discomfort, having taken a knock. He is set to miss training on Tuesday as a result.
“Leon Bailey, still, with a hard kick, and I think he is not going to train this afternoon, and for tomorrow, difficult to play the match.” – Unai Emery
Elsewhere, the only other known concern, medium-term absentee Ross Barkley (calf), is nearly back.
“We are having our training session this afternoon, trying to take time (after) the last match we played on Sunday.
“At the beginning, Barkley, he was training with the group yesterday.
“Other players, progressively, they were coming back and hopefully – after the match we played and the training we will do this afternoon – will be available, everybody.” – Unai Emery
Axel Disasi is available: he was cup-tied for the FA Cup having previously featured for Chelsea in the third round.
EVERTON
Dominic Calvert-Lewin (hamstring) and Orel Mangala (knee) remain sidelined but Iliman Ndiaye (knee) and Dwight McNeil (knee) have returned to training over the break.
Ndiaye is ahead of McNeil in his progress but David Moyes wouldn’t quite say whether either would feature in Gameweek 30.
“They’re doing great, actually, both are coming on great. Ili is a little bit further along than Dwight at the moment but it’s great that they’re back in training.
“Dom is the only one who is really behind it a little bit at the moment, we’re just waiting on him coming back.” – David Moyes on Iliman Ndiaye and Dwight McNeil
Vitalii Mykolenko (thigh), who bowed out of international duty with Ukraine, seems to have avoided serious injury. Moyes is hopeful he’ll feature at Anfield.
“He’s got a bit of an injury but he’s back, he came in and did a bit of training yesterday. We’re hopeful that he’ll be okay but we still have to wait and see tomorrow exactly how he is.” – David Moyes on Vitalii Mykolenko
BRENTFORD
Mathias Jensen has joined Igor Thiago (knee), Josh Dasilva (knee) and Fabio Carvalho (shoulder) on the injury list.
The trip to Newcastle also comes too soon for Rico Henry (hamstring), Gustavo Nunes (back) and Aaron Hickey (hamstring), who all started for the under-21s on Monday to build up match fitness. Thomas Frank hopes to see them feature competitively before the end of 2024/25, with Henry ahead of the other two in his recovery.
“Hickey, Rico and Nunes all came through the game well yesterday. Just too short to be involved in the Newcastle game. Rico is the one who is the furthest ahead of the three.
“Hopefully [they can feature this season], I really hope so.” – Thomas Frank
Michael Kayode (knee) is back for the match on Tyneside.
“Squad looks quite positive, I would say. Kayode is back in, he was not in the Bournemouth squad. Matty [Jensen] is still not ready yet, a minor issue from the Bournemouth game.” – Thomas Frank
SOUTHAMPTON
Jan Bednarek (nose), Taylor Harwood-Bellis (thigh) and James Bree (hamstring) are all fit for the visit of Crystal Palace.
Will Smallbone (groin) remains out, however.
Long-term absentees Juan Larios and Ross Stewart are inching closer to returns: the former has had four run-outs for the under-21s, while the latter – along with Ryan Fraser (calf) – was seen in full team training this week
CHELSEA
Nicolas Jackson (hamstring), Cole Palmer (muscle) and Noni Madueke (hamstring) have all returned to training over the international break, so could come into contention on Thursday night.
Marc Guiu (hamstring) and Omari Kellyman (hamstring) remain out, while Mykhailo Mudryk is still provisionally banned by the Football Association.
TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR
Radu Dragusin (knee) is out for the season, while Kevin Danso (hamstring) and Dejan Kulusevski (foot) weren’t spotted in the training video released by the club at the back end of the international break.
Richarlison (calf) was sighted (exactly how much he was involved is not known), however, as was Lucas Bergvall, who was suffering from illness while away with Sweden.
