Another Fantasy Premier League deadline is fast approaching, and for Gameweek 11 we need to make our transfers in time for an 11:00 GMT deadline on Saturday ahead of Tottenham Hotspur’s match with Manchester United – but we have a host of injury issues to plan around, with Alexander Isak, Viktor Gyökeres and Mohammed Kudus among the players who could miss out.
To help you get your team set up before the weekend, we’ve combed the media reports and listened in to the manager’s pre-match press conference to bring you all the latest FPL injury news.
Isak, Gyökeres & Kudus among big FPL names at risk for Gameweek 11
Alexander Isak: Isak has missed the last four Liverpool matches courtesy of a groin injury but could be involved this weekend after returning to training on Friday. He’s also been called up to the Sweden squad, which bodes well, but comments from both Arne Slot and Graham Potter suggest that he’s relatively unlikely to play a full 90 minutes this weekend. Probably worth waiting until after the international break before signing him, if he was in your plans.
Andrew Robertson, Alisson Becker & Jeremie Frimpong: Isak isn’t the only Liverpool player struggling for fitness – Robertson could be rested this weekend after Slot said he was “tired” following the win over Real Madrid, Alisson won’t be back until after the international break and Frimpong likely a week or two later still.
Viktor Gyökeres: The Arsenal striker hasn’t been as productive as many FPL managers expected and probably won’t be adding any goals to his tally this weekend, either – he is expected to miss the match against Sunderland with a muscular problem and unlike Isak has been omitted from the Sweden side for their final World Cup qualifiers. We don’t have a return date as yet, so if you’re hanging on it may be time to bite the bullet and sell. Mikel Merino will likely start up front again, if you’re looking for a differential.
Martin Ødegaard, Kai Havertz, Noni Madueke, Gabriel Martinelli & Martín Zubimendi: Arsenal also have quite a few more Fantasy-relevant players who aren’t likely to be involved - Ødegaard could be back after the international break along with Kai Havertz, Noni Madueke and Gabriel Martinelli, while Zubimendi is a minor doubt for the weekend with a knock, for the 3.2% of players who have the Spaniard in their team, not that Mikel Arteta was willing to provide a proper update on him.
Mohammed Kudus: We’d be here all day if we had to go through all of Spurs’ injuries, but one new doubt that will worry a lot of FPL managers is Kudus, who picked up a knock against Chelsea last weekend and subsequently missed the Champions League win over FC København. Frank suggested before that game that Kudus would be fit enough to play, so it’s unlikely that it’s a major issue and while we await confirmation from the Spurs coach, we suspect that he’ll play against Manchester United.
Chris Wood: The Nottingham Forest striker has now missed three weeks with a knee injury but is “making good progress” as he works to return to face Leeds United this weekend. We’re waiting for confirmation from Dyche as it stands, but he looks likely to play at least some part.
Gordon, Neto, Ndiaye & Alderete among FPL outs and doubts
Anthony Gordon: If you haven’t given up on the out-of-form Newcastle winger just yet, then you’re out of luck this weekend by the sound of it – according to Eddie Howe, there is “every chance [Gordon] might miss our game on Sunday” as the club await the result of a scan on a minor hip injury. He should be fine going forward, at least, and it’s not believed to be a serious problem.
Pedro Neto: The Chelsea winger was in light training with the physio on Thursday and will train in full on Friday, according to Enzo Maresca, meaning that he’s a minor doubt for the weekend but sounds likely to play without any major problems.
Iliman Ndiaye: The on-song Everton winger had to be hauled off after scoring against Sunderland on Monday night and seems to have picked up a knock – but the Senegal international was pictured doing gym work earlier in the week and looks like he’s in good enough shape to play this weekend.
Omar Alderete: The Sunderland centre-back is listed as a doubt for the game against Arsenal as it stands, but even though he was spotted in training earlier this week it looks as though he is set to miss out as he remains in concussion protocol. According to journalist Christian Martin, Alderete has been ruled out of both the Arsenal match and the international break due to his head injury.
Kaoru Mitoma: It seems like Mitoma is close to a return every week – the Japanese winger has now missed the last four league games while being listed as a doubt at every turn thanks to a muscle injury. He sounds unlikely to be included in the Brighton squad this weekend, either, and will probably come back after the international break.
