FPL injury updates
As part of our extensive FPL coverage, we will be bringing you weekly injury news roundups that will cover all the popular FPL assets.
So, with gameweek 2 now upon us, here are all of the latest updates on your favourite FPL stars.
Aston Villa duo expected to miss out
First up comes an update on two Aston Villa stars.
Ollie Watkins would miss Villa’s opening weekend loss to Watford and is expected to be out this week as well.
Dean Smith would also confirm that Bertrand Traore is out until after the international break, which essentially makes Emi Buendia and Leon Bailey pretty nailed-on to start in GW2.
Lukaku to feature?
Elsewhere, there were a number of interesting takeaways from Thomas Tuchel’s latest Chelsea press conference.
Romelu Lukaku could play some part for the Blues against Arsenal on Sunday:
“Today was low intensity and tomorrow we will have an important session before the match. We hope he will be on the pitch on Sunday and it looks likely.”
Tuchel also confirmed that Christian Pulisic will miss out due to Covid-19 but Hakim Ziyech could return:
“Christian has unfortunately had a positive test and needs to follow the protocols. He’s not been training and is not available for the game. Hakim and N’Golo both trained yesterday so we need to have more physical intense session tomorrow and decide tomorrow. Right now, it seems very positive that both can be in the squad for Sunday.”
Ilkay Gundogan update & De Bruyne misses training
There was some doubt over Ilkay Gundogan’s involvement for Manchester City in GW2 after he picked up a shoulder issue vs Tottenham.
And when speaking on Friday, Pep Guardiola confirmed that the German is fit to play.
The Spaniard also stated that Kevin De Bruyne missed training on Friday:
Leicester full-back update
Brendan Rodgers would provide an update on two of his players on Friday.
Both Timothy Castagne and Ryan Bertrand missed out vs Wolves last week, but the former is not available for selection in GW2:
“The squad will be about what we had last weekend. Ryan Bertrand won’t be available. It’s mostly the same, but Timothy Castagne will be available.”
