FPL Gameweek 8 injury and team news: Updates on Raphinha, Torres and more

We’ve got all the Gameweek 8 team news so far in our latest injury round-up of the pre-match press conferences, with Raphinha the headline act from Thursday’s conference calls.

Leeds United boss Marcelo Bielsa was one of six Premier League head coaches to face the media on Thursday, while a further 13 top-flight bosses are set to provide us with injury updates on Friday.

New Watford head coach Claudio Ranieri spoke to reporters yesterday and you can find updates on the Hornets’ injury latest here.

We’ll round up the key updates from today’s pressers in the article below. Don’t forget to keep checking our Predicted Line-ups page and Injuries and Bans tab, which will be gradually updated between now and Saturday’s Fantasy Premier League (FPL) deadline.

LEEDS UNITED

Raphinha’s involvement against Southampton looks in some doubt and will partly hinge on how many minutes he racks up for Brazil in their World Cup qualifier against Uruguay on Friday morning.

Marcelo Bielsa said that there were “many aspects to consider” when evaluating whether Raphinha would feature, citing game-time and travel as factors.

“The options that he has to participate in the game on Saturday depends on whether he plays this final [Brazil] game tonight, how many minutes he plays, how he finishes the game, after he has participated in it, how efficient the rest he can have in the next 36 hours is considering that a third of those will be spent flying, and if there’s any risk that the fatigue could cause injuries, then we won’t risk him. There are so many aspects to consider that I can’t offer you any certainties either way.” – Marcelo Bielsa on Raphinha

Robin Koch (pelvis), Patrick Bamford (ankle) and Luke Ayling (knee) remain out but Bielsa confirmed on Thursday that Adam Forshaw (thigh) and Crysencio Summerville (illness) have been passed fit, while Kalvin Phillips (calf) “has chances” of being able to play after withdrawing from the England squad over the international break.

“Bamford won’t play. He has a problem in his ankle which we informed previously. His recovery is subject to the evolution of the injury. I anticipated a date [for him to return], it wouldn’t be because I have arguments to do so. The evolution we have to control is on a day-to-day.

“Kalvin [Phillips] has chances of being able to do so.

“Koch is in the US where he will undergo a simple procedure to try and solve his problem in the pubis. Ayling is at the halfway stage of his process of recovery. Forshaw and Summerville are available again.” – Marcelo Bielsa

BURNLEY

Ben Mee will miss the trip to Manchester City after testing positive for Covid-19, while Matej Vydra and Charlie Taylor are doubts after picking up knocks over the international break.

Maxwell Cornet‘s hamstring injury looks to have cleared up, however, with the winger jetting off to join up with the Ivory Coast squad in the last week and then rejoining training today.

“The only one we’ve got missing, not because of injury but because of Covid, unfortunately, is Ben Mee. He’s fine but he’s tested positive so he has to go through the protocols before he comes back in.

“A few knocks, Vyds come back with a bit of a knock, so we’ll wait and see on that one. Probably touch and go. Charlie Taylor has had a couple of knocks, a little bit touch and go on him. Maxwell [Cornet] has come through fine, he’s trained today.” – Sean Dyche

ARSENAL

Granit Xhaka (knee) is a long-term absentee but aside from a “minor injury” that renders Gabriel Martinelli a doubt for the visit of Crystal Palace, Mikel Arteta said that he had no fitness concerns following the end of the October international break. 

“Not any bad news, at the moment everybody seems to be OK. Granit [Xhaka] is progressing really well but obviously, we know that it’s a long-term injury.

“We haven’t had the players here yet. Some of them because they’re still traveling and they’ve not been assessed by the medical staff.

“Unfortunately, [Martinelli] got injured last week – it’s a minor injury and we don’t know if he’s going to be available for Monday.” – Mikel Arteta

SOUTHAMPTON

Che Adams (muscle) has joined Jack Stephens (knee) on the sidelines for Southampton’s clash with Leeds, although the striker’s injury – unlike that of Stephens – isn’t a serious one.

Tino Livramento was among the Southampton players who were representing their countries over the October international break but, Adams aside, Ralph Hasenhuttl has reported no fresh concerns from his returning squad members.

James Ward-Prowse begins a three-match ban, however.

“Jack Stephens is still out. We have Che Adams returning back from the internationals with a muscle injury. It’s not too serious but for this game on the weekend, he is definitely out.

“I’ve not seen everybody back so far but the reports have been quite positive for the rest, that they are all well.” – Ralph Hasenhuttl

BRIGHTON AND HOVE ALBION

Steven Alzate (ankle) and Danny Welbeck (hamstring) are both set for spells on the sidelines after undergoing surgery but Brighton have been handed a boost by the return of Enock Mwepu (groin), Adam Webster (hamstring) and Yves Bissouma (knee) to training.

“Both Danny Welbeck and Steven Alzate suffered injuries in the Crystal Palace match which require surgery, and therefore both players will be out for a significant period of time.

“Enock Mwepu, Adam Webster and Yves Bissouma are back in training, and all three have a chance of being available for selection this weekend.” – Graham Potter

BRENTFORD

Thomas Frank confirmed late this afternoon that Kristoffer Ajer (hamstring) and Vitaly Janelt (thigh) should both be fit to play for Brentford against Chelsea after missing out in Gameweek 7.

ANY OTHER BUSINESS

Aside from the six official pre-match pressers, there was also news emerging from Spain that Ferran Torres is set to miss up to six weeks of action with a foot fracture. Manchester City confirmed the midfielder is injured but haven’t put an exact timeframe on his recovery.

Everton boss Rafael Benitez was speaking to the club’s in-house media, meanwhile, and said of his walking wounded:

“The international break is an opportunity to bring back players. Alex Iwobi was training and [so were] Digne and Coleman – that is good news for us – they have started training with the team.

“The others are improving and we will see in the week how they are. Lucas [Digne] had an issue and for two or three days was under treatment but he has started training.

“Fingers crossed [for Yerry Mina], hopefully everything will be fine in the last game [for Colombia], then we will see.” – Rafael Benitez

    Salah Saka Raphinha Luiz XXX
    Lukaku Antonio XXX

    Final 2 spots:

    A) Gallagher & Toney

    3. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    4. Gold Monster
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      A

  3. Pedersen
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Azpi vs Dias vs Walker. Who would be best on WC ? Money can be used other too

    1. Amartey Partey
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Azpi

    2. Jonny HOW SON?
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Dias

    3. Konstaapeli
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Walker if you also have Cancelo. Both likely to star but one will definitely.

      1. Konstaapeli
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        *start

    4. Paqueta Rice
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Don’t think Walker should be on the list there. Dias for me

    5. Pedersen
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I realized it don't give enough context. WC options below

      1. Pedersen
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        New post

  4. Konstaapeli
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Looks like a christmas tree right now but seriously considering this...

    Ramstale / Foster
    TAA - Cancelo - Walker - James / Livra
    Salah - Foden - Raphinha / ESR - Brownhill
    Lukaku - Werner - Toney

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Strangely drawn to Werner / Kaku

      1. Konstaapeli
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Think I'm doing it. It's only a game anyway.

  5. Sterling Malory
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Thoughts on this WC?

    Ramsdale
    Azpi Rudiger Cancelo
    Salah Son Gray ESR
    Jiminez Antonio Lukaku
    Foster Livramento Gilmour Amartey

    Would you downgrade Son and upgrade ESR?

    1. dshv
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Son!!!

    2. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      No, but I would do something about your bench, maybe at Jimi's expense

      1. Dthinger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Yeah, on a wildcard, you might skip Gilmour--he might not be nailed anymore and there are other 4.5 options-- as well as Amartey who is definitely not nailed.

    3. Pedersen
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Just adding this. Is Jimi several mio more worth than Hwang ?

      1. Dthinger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        yes

    4. ted mcnure
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Bold, but I´d be happier downgrading Azpi and upping Gilmour and Amartey..

    5. Dthinger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I would not downgrade Son to upgrade ESR.

  6. Atimis
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    I'm down to these options

    A) Play Greenwood, keep FT, Ronaldo Greenwood Benrahma/Sarr out next week for a hit
    B) Greenwood and Benrahma/Sarr out for a hit now
    C) Just sell Greenwood now and get Everton/Arsenal mid or even Mount punt

    Thoughts?

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      C

    2. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      C

    3. ted mcnure
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      C- I really want to get Mount in
      ..then Sarr and Ronnie next week if you must

  7. Pedersen
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Well i have almost completed my wildcard. Last few placements is to be decided

    A)
    Ramsdale, Foster
    Azpi/Dias*, TAA, James, Cancello, Livra
    Salah, Raph, Foden/Townsend*, Mbeuma, ESR
    Lukaku, Antonio, Hwang

    B)
    Ramsdale, Foster
    Walker*, TAA, James, Cancello, Livra
    Salah, Raph, Son*, Mbeuma, Brownhill*
    Lukaku, Antonio, Hwang

    C)
    Ramsdale, Foster
    Duffy*, TAA, James, Cancello, Livra
    Salah, Raph, Son*, Mbeuma, ESR
    Lukaku, Antonio, Hwang

    1. ArseneAllTheWay
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Any option without Hwang? Feel he’s just a bandwagon

      1. Pedersen
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        No money to get 3rd playing striker then. Can't afford Toney with these options

        1. ArseneAllTheWay
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Downgrade Son imo, spurs look crap

    2. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      A and work out a way to get Son GW12

      1. Crunchie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        and upgrade Hwang IMO

        1. Crunchie
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          and downgrade ESR/Mbeumo to 4.4, you will get a benching heading like mine below 🙂

          1. Dthinger
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            2 years, 5 months ago

            or just bench Hwang

            1. Ruth_NZ
              • 9 Years
              2 years, 5 months ago

              Yeah, don't be a Hwangker.

  8. dshv
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    WC

    1. Azpilicueta
    2. Rudiger

    1. ArseneAllTheWay
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      A for this week if you can afford, I’m 0.1 off 🙁

    2. OptimusBlack
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      is Rudiger fit to play ?

  9. ArseneAllTheWay
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    RMWC

    Ramsdale
    TAA, Cancelo, Walker (Liv, Duffy)
    Salah, Foden, ESR, Raph (Townsend)
    Lukaku, Toney, Antonio

    0.5itb

    Plan is to switch Walker to Chelsea defender when we get a better idea on James/chilly/rudiger

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Hmmm, Townsend or ESR down and Walker up?

    2. Pedersen
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      You got the bench so i think you can afford thinking about James already. But walker is not a bad option

    3. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I'd do walker to James or Chilly as you have the bench

  10. richarlison2348
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    1. Sarr to Mbuemo
    2. Benrahma to Saka/Mbuemo
    3. Ronaldo to Lukaku
    Got some options this week... No clue what to do

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      This week, Sarr out

  11. Mane Mane Mane
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Nothing really to do, would Semedo to TAA be a good move. Eventually gonna move to TAA sooner or later anyway?

    1. richarlison2348
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Better now than later, playing Watford

    2. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Absolutely it would be

    3. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Why sell Semedo?

    4. Dthinger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      what do you mean "nothing really to do?" If you don't have TAA, then you have something quite obvious "to do!"

  12. Kiwivillan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    So with Torres news does that make Foden a trade in? Would be for Jota

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Makes him a bit better yes

    2. richarlison2348
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Don't you want Jota vs Watford? I thought he was passed fit

      1. Kiwivillan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        What about selling Bruno instead?

  13. tommo1989
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Thoughts on this?

    Sanchez
    TAA Rudiger Reguilon Duffy
    Salah Greenwood ESR Townsend
    Lukaku (c) Aubameyang

    Steele Livramento Jimenez Raphinha

    1. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      What is Jimenez doing on bench?

      1. Dthinger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        and Rafinha? This team is a bench headache all day

        1. tommo1989
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Raphinha won’t start this week for sure

          1. Dthinger
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            2 years, 5 months ago

            yeah, I was looking past this week

            1. tommo1989
              • 7 Years
              2 years, 5 months ago

              Bench would be Duffy, Livramento and one of ESR/Townsend usually

      2. tommo1989
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Not convinced he’ll start after only playing in the early hours of this morning and a long flight back

    2. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Bit different, Regu not the best but I guess he'll do this week

      1. Fulchester's New Centr…
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        In fact what Kiwivillan says first

  14. HaffNanner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    A. Smith-Rowe and Toney

    B. Mbeumo and Hwang

    1. Dthinger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      A, I guess.

    2. ArseneAllTheWay
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      A

  15. dshv
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Play two

    1. Raphinha
    2. Mbeumo
    3. Livra
    4. Duffy

    1. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      3,4

    2. Dthinger

      3 and 4

    3. Gold Monster
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      1 & 2

  16. Crunchie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    My team ATM. 1FT 0.1 itb. It was a GW7 wildcard 🙂

    Last minute i tried to do Benrahma to Luiz but failed.

    Ramsdale (Foster)
    Rudiger, Azpi, Cancelo, Dias (Livra)
    Saka, Gallagher, Raphinha, Salah, Benrahma
    Lukaku, Antonio, Jiminez.

    A) TAA and Benrahma from Rudiger and Brownhill (may need that 0.2m) -4
    B) Hold

    I feel a TAA haul coming in, despite no Allison and Rudiger doubt.

    I will be getting Toney for Jiminez next week if I do A or B, and maybe Son later

    My team is a bit mucked up, but don't mind a couple of -4's in the next 3 weeks because of the gains made last week. (63 points instead of 40 ish if i'd held)

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I'd be tempted by A if Rudi out

      1. Crunchie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Thank you

  17. internal error
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Anyone else worried Cancelo might get rested vs Burnley ?

    1. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Not worried, the bench is fine. I think he will start

  18. Podorsky
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Will Jota get a cameo at least? Seems though he is preferred over Firminio?

  19. OverTinker
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Chance of Rudiger and Lukaku playing?

    1. FPLMACKEM
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Lukaku was pictured training so will likely play. Not sure about rudiger.

    2. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Lukuku fine in training, Rudiger was missing

    3. Rotation's Alter Ego
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Lukaku very likely
      Rudiger I'm a lot less confident in

      Will be far easier to guess after pressers tomorrow

  20. FPLMACKEM
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Please ratec this wc team.

    Ramsdale
    TAA, Cancelo, Azpilicueta
    Salah, mbeumo, Raphinha, Grealish/foden
    Toney, Antonio, Lukaku

    Foster, Duffy, Livramento, 4.5

    0.6 itb

    1. Sid07
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Looks good
      You can get Sanchez or raya for ramsdale
      And white for 4.5 def

      1. FPLMACKEM
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        I currently have Ramsdale and Sanchez at 4.6. I still have to drop one. Just thought Duffy and Ramsdale were the cheapest combo.

    2. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      GTG

      I'm curious to see what others think, but I would be hesitant about Lukaku (unless you have value tied up in him). I might go for a punt on Kane (against NEW) for one week til we know Lukaku is fit.

        No value tied up in Lukaku. He was pictured in training so I'm confident he plays.

      I like it. I don't know if you are into one week punts but u could have Maupay against Norwich then swap to Toney next week.

      A imo

    Play Duffy or Tierney this weekend?

    1. ArseneAllTheWay
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      KT

    2. Devos
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I'm playing both, but I'd chose Tierney over Duffy.

  23. Devos
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    My team (1.7m ITB, 0FT)

    Sanchez
    Tierney | Duffy | Rudiger (75%) | TAA (75%)
    Salah (c) | Kovacic | Benrahma | Sarr
    Jiménez | Lukaku (75%)

    Bench: Meslier | Amartey | Bamford (0%) | Ward-Prowse (0%)

    What should I do according to you?
    a) Stick with this team and hope for 11 players to be lined up
    b) Take a hit to bring in a midfielder for Ward-Prowse
    c) Take a hit to bring in a forward for Bamford

    If b or c, feel free to suggest some players. For now I'd say Grealish or Jesus/Ings/Antonio.

      By the way, I'm about to play my wildcard between GW11 and 12, so that's not an option right now.

    2. Dthinger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      can you just do the defender?

        unfortunately not

  26. richarlison2348

    Will Jota get enough minutes to warrant playing over Livramento or Sarr?

  27. Mackans

    I heard somewhere that Mbuemo isn’t nailed? Someone who knows why??

    1. ArseneAllTheWay
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Due to Wissa I think, not sure I buy it

    2. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Wassa

    3. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      He has played 591 out of 630 mins so far this season. I'd say that that is pretty nailed.

    Current WC draft. GTG?. still contemplating if rudiger (+duffy) should be replaced.. too much with Jansson in B? cheers

    ramsdale (foster)
    taa-cancelo-** (**-livra)
    salah(c)-son-raph-mbeumo (luiz)
    antonio-lukaku-hwang

    A) rudi+duffy
    B) james+jansson/white
    C) 6.2m+manquillo
    D) james+duffy
    E) any other combo?

    1. ArseneAllTheWay
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Not keen on Hwang I don’t think but g2g otherwise

      1. winchester
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Cheers. Cant afford toney.. what about armstrong or a fifth mid?

    2. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      B

      1. winchester
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Cheers. Have been leaning on B today.. would ypu say Jansson is a good pick?

        1. Crunchie
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Good differential, good team nice fixtures? There is alot going for it

    3. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      James Jansson-White sounds the poshest

      1. Ruth_NZ
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Rudi Duffy sounds the toughest.

        1. winchester
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Cheers. Currently on this. But feel that B would be more exciting?

      2. winchester
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Cheers. Sounds or actually is? You would go for that then?

        1. Fulchester's New Centr…
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          James and White I think

  29. ArseneAllTheWay

    My WC conundrum boils down to this…

    A) Foden, ESR, Mbuemo, Toney
    B) Son, Brownhill (3rd sub) Mbuemo, Hwang

    1. Pedersen
      • 5 Years

      I am looking at A thanks to your reply to drop Son...

        Haha touché! I’m overthinking it at this point

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years

    2. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Mbeumo to start with a view to bringing Toney in after Chelsea
