Dream Team brings you all the latest injury, suspension and selection updates ahead of Game Week 5 in one easily digestible dose.
Pierre-Emerick Aubamyeang (£4.5m) has been added to the game but he won’t feature for Chelsea this weekend as he still needs to get a mask fitted having suffered a broken jaw during the break-in at his home in Barcelona.
Thomas Tuchel told reporters that Reece James (£5.7m) and Ruben Loftus-Cheek (£2m) are ‘available’ with the Blues set to host West Ham on Saturday.
Wesley Fofana (£2.9m) has trained well and is expected to make his debut for the west London club.
As for the Hammers, a ‘late decision’ will be made on both Aaron Cresswell (£2.3m) and Gianluca Scamacca (£3m).
Mikel Arteta is hopeful both Aaron Ramsdale (£3.2m) and Martin Odegaard (£3.3m) will be fit to face Man United on Sunday but nothing is certain.
The two Arsenal players are among the most-selected assets in Dream Team at this stage.
Having previously hinted that Erling Haaland (£7.8m) would be rested when the games started coming thick and fast, Pep Guardiola told journalists today: “He’s 22 years old, recovers well, quick. When you’re 22 years old, it’s not a problem.”
Man City’s master tactician also said that Nathan Ake (£3.3m) and Jack Grealish (£3.9m) are ‘close’ to a comeback having returned to training but suggested Aymeric Laporte (£4.5m) will need at least another month.
Rodrigo (£2.4m) doesn’t require surgery on his shoulder but still the in-form Spaniard is expected to be sidelined until after the international, meaning he won’t return until October at the earliest.
Eddie Howe is sweating over the fitness of two key players, Bruno Guimaraes (£3.3m) and Allan Saint-Maximin (£3.4m), prior to Crystal Palace’s visit to St James’ Park – the former is the 12th-most popular midfielder in Dream Team.
Additionally, new boy Alexander Isak (£3.3m) suffered a dead leg on debut against Liverpool but may well be deemed fit enough to play, unlike Callum Wilson (£3.8m) who remains unavailable.
Ralph Hassenhuttl confirmed to reporters that promising talent Romeo Lavia (£1.6m) will be out for approximately six weeks having been forced off against Chelsea with a hamstring injury.
Cristian Romero (£3.4m) and Rodrigo Bentacur (£2.3m) have been passed fit for Fulham’s visit to Spurs on Saturday.
