MANCHESTER UNITED
Ruben Amorim wasn’t asked about the latest team news but we’re not aware of Manchester United having any fresh concerns for their trip to Tottenham Hotspur.
Lisandro Martinez (knee) returned to training last week, with United set to take time with his recovery after so long out.
“There’s no change [to our preparation]. It’s one game every week and then, again, a little bit of luck, because sometimes you have problems with players with knocks. It’s not something that is soft tissues.
“So, you never know what is going to happen in the next training. If you play with intensity in training, something can happen, but I think the big reason… of course, we try to do everything well, the big reason is [we have only] one game every week.
“You can give one extra day to the players that you know could struggle in the next training. I think that is the biggest reason.” – Ruben Amorim on why United have fewer injuries this season
BRIGHTON AND HOVE ALBION
He may not have been included in the Japan squad for the upcoming internationals but Kauro Mitoma (knock) is “50/50” to make the Crystal Palace game this weekend.
“Kaoru is very close to being an option. That’s positive.
“Percentage-wise, it’s a 50-50. So, we have to see how he is doing the training sessions, how he is doing today, how he is doing tomorrow and then we will have a look.
“Not 100% [ruled out]. Everything is possible in football.” – Fabian Hurzeler
Jack Hinshelwood (ankle), Brajan Gruda (knee) and James Milner (muscle) are still sidelined for the A23 derby but Joel Veltman (calf) is fit.
“After the game against Leeds, we have no new injury concerns. That’s a positive. Another positive is Joel [Veltman] will be back as an option.” – Fabian Hurzeler
“The negatives: James [Milner] still will be out, Gruda still will be missing the game, Jack Hinshelwood is missing the game.” – Fabian Hurzeler
Adam Webster (knee) and Solly March (knee) remain on the longer-term injury list.
The form of Danny Welbeck has led to a clamour for an England call-up, and means the young Greek duo of Charalampos Kostoulas and Stefanos Tzimas – priced at £4.8m and £5.3m in FPL respectively – will have to be patient for now. Both players are now getting game-time off the bench, at least.
“When [Kostoulas] first came here, he suffered. He wasn’t ready for the intensity, for the demands we have. And now he’s adapting quickly and he’s doing well. And that’s what I always say: if you show me in training you are ready to play in the Premier League, then of course, you will deserve the chance. And that’s the same for Tommy [Watson], that’s the same for Stefanos. They are progressing well, they’re doing well. And if we see that like consistently and training, then for sure they will get more and more game time.” – Fabian Hurzeler
FULHAM
The Cottagers recovered a whopping six players from injury last weekend, which left only Antonee Robinson (knee) on the sidelines.
The left-back remains Fulham’s only absentee for Gameweek 11.
“Right now, we are going to have – of course, we are going to train tomorrow and let’s hope everything goes well – [only] Robinson out of the squad list.
“He’s getting better, he’s doing his rehab. I see him every single day on the pitch but unfortunately for us, not fully fit to be involved with the squad, with his teammates. He’s there at the beginning of the session but doing individual work every single day. He’s getting better but I cannot give you any timescale right now. Let’s see what’s going to happen after the international break for him.” – Marco Silva on Antonee Robinson
Marco Silva discussed the fitness of his two forwards.
“[Raul] has being playing under some pain and he made a a big effort again to play that game [last week] and he was able to play around 70 minutes, which was good. We managed a little bit him in the last few weeks because [of] that issue.
“It was a long period, if I can say, for [Muniz] to be to be out. Of course, last week, we needed him even because the problem of Raul, of the small issue of Raul, we needed him on the bench for something that happened. We didn’t know really before the game if Raul was going to be able to play 30, 45 or 70 [minutes] like he did play, and it was important for us to have Rodrigo. Of course, last week it was impossible for him to be ready for the 90 minutes at all. Let’s see what is going to be my decision for the next Saturday, [if] he can start or not. Probably if he’s going to start, he’s not in his best physical to play 90 minutes, but can play 60, can play 70 as well. It’s up to me to decide, but he’s getting better.” – Marco Silva on his strikers
WEST HAM UNITED
Konstantinos Mavropanos (muscle) and Niclas Fullkrug (thigh) remain sidelined but should be back after the international break.
“Both of them improving, starting to work, different stages. Dinos is still individual work and Niclas is progressing with the group, not all the parts of the training sessions.
“Now comes the international break; I think after that, I’m positive that everything is going to be okay.” – Nuno Espirito Santo
Oliver Scarles (collarbone), Lukasz Fabianski (back) and George Earthy (hamstring) are also unavailable.
Nuno Espirito Santo, meanwhile, reported some other “knocks” but didn’t name any names.
“Some of them, unfortunately! After a football match, there are always knocks, there are always problems that we have to deal [with] during the week. Let’s see. We still have tomorrow, let’s see who is available for the match.” – Nuno Espirito Santo on if any of his other players have injuries
Away from injury news, there was qualified praise for £4.4m midfielder Freddie Potts after his start last weekend.
“I think he played really, really good. He did a fantastic match. He was balanced, almost all his actions were accurate, and he did what the team needed in the moment: the balance, his presence in the middle of the park. But he played one game. Freddie played one game. Okay, he played 100 games [in the Football League]. That’s what made Freddie. Now, I think he is a good option for us. But he played one game.” – Nuno Espirito Santo on Freddie Potts
The new West Ham boss continued to dish out the plaudits to El Hadji Malick Diouf (“a diamond that you have to polish”), Lucas Paqueta (“he has so much to give us”) and Callum Wilson (“gave us a presence”).
BRENTFORD
It seems to be all quiet on the team news front at Brentford, with the names below far from established regulars.
Benjamin Arthur (knee) is back in training, while Antoni Milambo (knee) and Josh Dasilva (knee) are longer-term absentees.
Milambo underwent anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction on Tuesday and faces a long spell on the sidelines.
Dasilva is nearing the end of the road in his own recovery from an ACL injury. The midfielder is back on the grass, with a return to team training pencilled in for December.
Arthur’s absence has been a much shorter one; he’s only been sidelined since the EFL Cup fourth round.
BURNLEY
Scott Parker said he had no major concerns for the trip to West Ham United.
Hjalmar Ekdal should recover after taking a blow to the face in training.
“No new injuries. We had a little incident yesterday with Hjalmar but should be fine really, just a bit of a black eye from training. Other than that, everyone is fit.” – Scott Parker
Lyle Foster is fit and has “trained in full this week”, having missed out last weekend due to illness.
Jordan Beyer (hamstring), Connor Roberts (knee) and Zeki Amdouni (knee) are long-term absentees.
