Injuries and suspensions update ahead of Game Week 36 – Dominic Calvert-Lewin sidelined for Everton clash, Man Utd double blow

Dream Team brings you all the latest injury, suspension and selection updates ahead of Game Week 36 in one easily digestible dose.

Striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£2.9m) will miss Everton’s most important game of the season having been ruled out with a hamstring injury.

Everton head into their final fixture against Bournemouth at Goodison Park knowing victory will preserve their Premier League status.

But they’ll have to do it without Calvert-Lewin, Nathan Patterson (£1.2m), Seamus Coleman (£1.6m), Ben Godfrey (£1.1m) and perhaps full-back Vitaliy Mykolenko (£1.2m), who will have a late fitness test.

The injury news is largely more positive for fellow relegation candidates Leeds. Sam Allardyce is expected to be able to rely on top scorer Rodrigo (£3.6m), who has trained despite injuring his foot in last weekend’s defeat by West Ham.

Junior Firpo (£0.5m) returns from a one-match suspension but Patrick Bamford (£3.1m) is still a doubt with a hamstring issue. Tottenham defenders Cristian Romero (£3.2m) and Eric Dier (£2.3m) are out.

Jonny Evans (£2.5m) is available as Leicester take on West Ham at the King Power. Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall (£2.1m) and Ricardo Pereira (£1.9m) also return but midfielder Wilfred Ndidi (£1m) has not trained this week because of a hamstring injury.

Erik ten Hag described Antony’s (£3.2m) injury as ‘serious’ with the Brazilian in jeopardy of missing the FA Cup final against Manchester City. Luke Shaw (£4.4m) was withdrawn at half-time against Chelsea and is likely to be rested.

Mikel Arteta is without Gabriel Martinelli (£4.8m), William Saliba (£3.2m), Takehiro Tomiyasu (£3.1m), Oleksandr Zinchenko (£3.2m) and Mohamed Elneny (£1m) for Saturday’s visit of Wolves. The visitors have a virtually full compliment to choose from.

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola says that “3,4,5…” Of his players are unfit for the trip to Brentford on Sunday. Aymeric Laporte (£5.3m), Manuel Akanji (£5m), Ruben Dias (£6.8m) and Jack Grealish (£5.2m) are absent, while John Stones (£5.9m) and Phil Foden (£5.6m) will also be assessed.

Brentford remain without the suspended Ivan Toney (£6.1m), plus injured trio Christian Norgaard (£2.7m), Pontus Jansson (£2.1m) and Keane Lewis-Potter (£1.6m).

It’s a lengthy injury list for Chelsea ahead of their showdown with Newcastle. Benoit Badiashile (£3.8m), Armando Broja (£1.9m), Ben Chilwell (£4.2m), Marc Cucurella (£3.4m), N’Golo Kante (£2.9m), Mateo Kovacic (£1.8m) and Reece James (£5.5m) are all out, while Mason Mount (£2.8m) is a doubt.

Eddie Howe has confirmed Joelinton (£3.5m) will miss this game. They join Jamaal Lascelles (£2.5m), Nick Pope (£3.9m) and Joe Willock (£2.3m) on the sidelines.

And finally it’s good news for Liverpool with Darwin Nunez (£4.6m) having recovered from the toe injury which has kept him out for the past few weeks. However, Ibrahima Konate (£4.8m) is struggling with illness while Andrew Robertson (£4.4m) has a groin issue.
