Injuries & suspensions update ahead of Gameweek 6: Mikel Arteta provides David Raya latest and confirms returnees

DREAM TEAM brings you all the latest injury, suspension and availability news ahead of Gameweek 6 in one easy-to-digest dose.

As expected, Mikel Arteta kept his cards close to his chest when discussing the availability of goalkeeper David Raya.

Ray, 29, limped off against Manchester City last weekend and was ruled out of Arsenal’s Carabao Cup win over Bolton in midweek with a hamstring problem.

“We have to wait another 24 hours. We have to wait 24 hours to see if it looks good or not,” Arteta said at his press conference on Friday.

“It’s not about the risk. It’s about whether the player is fit and available or not. Once we have that clarity for Leicester, which is the main thing we’re thinking about at the moment, we’ll make a decision tomorrow.

“Yes, certainly [it’s fair to say he’s a doubt for tomorrow].”

Jurrien Timber and Ben White were also absent from the EFL Cup squad, but Arteta believes the pair will be fit and available for Saturday’s clash with Leicester.

Martin Odegaard, Oleksandr Zinchenko, Mikel Merino, Takehiro Tomiyasu and Kieran Tierney all remain on the sidelines.

Leicester are without Jannik Vestergaard and Patson Daka, but apart from that, Steve Cooper has no new injury problems.

Pep Guardiola has confirmed that Rodri will miss the rest of the season after undergoing surgery to repair his anterior cruciate ligament on Friday.

Manchester City will also be without Kevin de Bruyne with a minor groin problem, while Newcastle’s Eddie Howe said Alexander Isak is a doubt after not training all week with a toe problem.

Wolves are going through something of a defensive crisis with Yerson Mosquera likely to miss the rest of the campaign with a torn ACL. Toti Gomes is also doubtful.

There is better news for Arne Slott at Liverpool who will welcome back goalkeeper Alisson after he missed last week’s win over Bournemouth.

Chelsea’s injury list is down to just Reece James, who is still struggling with a hamstring injury. Midfielder Romeo Lavia is available for selection for the first time since the opening weekend and Malo Gusto is now available.

Joao Pedro is unlikely to feature, while Yasin Ayari and Brajan Gruda are available for the Seagulls.

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has said he will field the same squad for Wednesday’s Europa League draw with FC Twente.

That means forward Rasmus Hojlund could feature, but defenders Victor Lindelof, Tyrell Malacia, Luke Shaw and Leny Yoro remain on the sidelines.

Meanwhile, Spurs will likely only be missing Richarlison and Wilson Odobert. Son Heung-min was forced off as Spurs opened their Europa League campaign with a 3-0 win at home to Qarabag on Thursday night.

“Sonny, I don’t think it’s that bad. He wants to train tomorrow. We’ll see how he is in training tomorrow and see what we do next.

“We have another day up our sleeve to give him another chance,” manager Ange Postecoglou said.

Edson Alvarez will not play against Brentford for West Ham who was sent off against Liverpool in the Carabao Cup, while Brentford’s Christian Norgaard will be assessed. Yoane Wissa will be out for a few months.

There is positive news for Sean Dyche and his Everton side, who welcome Crystal Palace to Goodison Park on Saturday with Vitalii Mykolenko and Jarrad Branthwaite returning to action.
