Misnøye med den norske landslagsledelsen, stjernecomeback i Spurs og fokus på LFC-gutta. Her er ukens ferske nyheter.

Vi har samlet sammen det viktigste fra ukens pressekonferanser. Vi starter med:

Arsenal

Cech

“Petr Cech [hamstring] is still not training with the group, but the goalkeeper isn’t too far away from a return. ´He is getting better from his injury.´” – @BenDinnery

Skadenyheter

Emery: «The players are coming back now. Only Sokratis [ankle] had one problem, one small injury. Maybe for Monday it’s difficult [for him to play]. The others [Ozil / Welbeck / Maitland-Niles] are OK.» – @BenDinnery

Leno har keeperplassen uten konkurranse enn så lenge. Özil (3.8 prosent) er tilbake etter å ha vært ute mot Fulham, men foreløpig bare å holde seg unna deg den skadeplagede tyskeren.

Bournemouth

King
Howe: «I wouldn’t say he’s 100%, he picked up an ankle injury & he’s not trained with us. We’ll see if he goes out [on Friday] & then we’ll make a decision on him. We don’t want this injury to stop his momentum with us so we’re hopeful he’ll be fit.» – @BenDinnery

“Howe also expressed his frustration at Josh King playing the full 90 minutes for Norway in their 1-0 UEFA Nations League victory over Bulgaria in spite of ankle complaint.” – Sky Sports

Fraser
Howe: «Will have to see with Ryan [Fraser], he’s been carrying a hamstring injury for last three four weeks, it will be a late call on him. If not this match then hopefully the next one. Isn’t long term.» – Sky Sports

Usikkerhet rundt to av de mest populære valgene hos Bournemouth. King kom seg gjennom landskampen mot Bulgaria på glimrende vis tross skadeplagene, og hvis ankelskaden ikke har blitt verre er mulighetene gode for startplass. Howe har “lurt” FPL-managere tidligere, da Fraser var usikker før runde 5.

Det endte med to scoringer, en målgivende og tre bonuspoeng. Anbefaler å la Fraser stå i startelleveren, så får heller benken gjøre en jobb om det faktisk viser seg at midtbanespilleren er ute.

Brighton

Skadenyheter
«We’ve got some late decision to make. Gross is just back training, Stephens has been out and Gaetan Bong [knee] was away on international duty but didn’t play. They’re the three who we will make late decisions on. Apart from that, everybody’s fit.» – @BenDinnery

Burnley

Tarkowski
“Tarkowski should recover from a minor groin problem.” – @BenDinnery

Skadenyheter
“Ward had knee surgery earlier this week and won’t be available for a while. Brady and Defour came through 90 minutes of a behind-closed-doors friendly unscathed, but the former is not yet ready for a first-team return. Pope targeting December for his comeback.” – @BenDinnery

Med Tarkowski tilbake vil nok Burnley stille med samme forsvarsfirer som i de tre foregående ligakampene: Lowton – Mee – Tarkowski – Taylor. Agüero vil dermed bryne seg på en forholdsvis godt innkjørt forsvarsrekke –  som har sluppet til fryktelig mange sjanser denne sesongen.

Chelsea

Skadenyheter
“Sarri says Barkley has a small problem but only needs ´one, two days´. He thinks Rudiger & Kovacic will be fit.” – Liam Twomey (ESPN)

Crystal Palace

Skadenyheter
Hodgson: We won’t know [on injuries] until tomorrow… We’ve got to assess Wilf Zaha and we’ve got two others suffering with a virus. We lost Ward a few days ago in training, he’s out. Williams & Benteke out. – @CPFC

Zaha
“Roy Hodgson says Wilfried Zaha is ´close enough to be assessed to see if he’ll be fit enough to play´ but admits he has not trained since the injury.” – @BenDinnery

Sørloth skal være en av de som sliter med sykdom, mens spisskollega Zaha er usikker før møtet med Everton. Fryktelig vanskelig situasjon angående Zaha. En hel haug andre “billigspisser” som frister mer, men bortekamp mot Everton er ikke så verst på papiret.

Everton

“The boss confirms it is possible André Gomes, Yerry Mina and James McCarthy could be involved in Sunday’s clash against Crystal Palace.” – @Everton

Et dødballsvåpen i form av colombianske Mina nærmer seg spill for Everton. Det blir spennende.

Huddersfield

Billing

“Philip Billing had treatment and has worked with the rehabilitation coaches following his withdrawal from Denmark under-21s. ´He will train with the team today and hopefully he will be fine afterwards.´” – @BenDinnery

Leicester

Skadenyheter
Puel: “No problems with those players who have already returned from international duty. Claude Puel is waiting on Ghezzal, Ndidi and Iheanacho who should be back on Friday. Demarai Gray [ankle] is improving and will start full training from Monday.” – @BenDinnery

Liverpool

Skadenyheter
Klopp: «Yesterday we had a session and a few of the boys trained. I think it’s pretty sure that Naby will not be available. With the rest, we have to see.» – Glenn Price (ESPN)

«The rest of the boys, we have to see how they react.» – Neil Jones (Goal)

“Mane, Salah and Milner have all trained.” – @BenDinnery

Van Dijk
Klopp: «Football players play very often with some kind of pain. He has no problems with that (his ribs) any more.» – James Pearce (Liverpool Echo)

Lallana
Klopp: «Hopefully nobody forgot how good he was before his injury. He is extremely close to the team. Whether he will start, we will see. He’s a proper option again.» – James Pearce (Liverpool Echo)

Van Dijk og Salah virker å være klare for startplass denne helgen. Størst usikkerhet rundt Mané, men det er fremdeles en sjanse for at senegaleseren stiller fra start. Verdt å huske at neste kamp for Liverpool er Cardiff på hjemmebane – kanskje den mest attraktive kampen hele sesongen for storlag, sett med FPL-øyne.

Manchester City

De Bruyne
Guardiola says he doesn’t know if KDB can start against Burnley or if he could play 90 mins but says he will be part of the squad – Sam Lee (Goal)

 

Gündogan
Guardiola: “Ilkay will be out for two or three weeks. I don’t know exactly.” – @ManCity

De Bruyne er på “wathclisten” hos flere med en pen prislapp på 9.7 millioner, og kan starte i hjemmemøtet med Burnley. Et alternativ for de som liker å ta risikable valg når det kommer til spilletid.

Manchester United

Skadenyheter
“Diogo Dalot, Marouane Fellaini, Nemanja Matic, Scott McTominay and Luke Shaw all suffered injury problems during the break, while Jesse Lingard, Ander Herrera and Marcos Rojo have all  missed recent matches for United.” – @BenDinnery

Shaw skal visstnok har plukket opp en skade under landslagspausen.

Newcastle

Skadenyheter
“Dummett [hamstring], Muto and Kenedy [both knocks] have trained ahead of the game with Brighton.” – @BenDinnery

Kenedy har blitt nevnt som en løsning i wildcard-lag, og virker å være klar for hjemmekampen mot Brighton – den første i en lang rekke med “grønne” kamper.

Southampton

Fulltallig tropp

“Hughes reveals he will have a full complement of players to choose from ahead of this weekend’s trip to Bournemouth. ´Thankfully everybody seems to have come through their international games fit and well.´” – @BenDinnery

Tottenham

Aurier

“Serge Aurier featured for the Ivory Coast during the break meaning the right-back comes into contention.” – @BenDinnery

Eriksen
“Pochettino on the return of Eriksen. ´It is our decision if he will play from the start or from the bench on Saturday´” – @BenDinnery

Aurier er tilbake for å konkurrere om høyrebackplassen med Trippier. Dog er det høy sannsynlighet for at engelskmannen igjen trekker det lengste strået om startplass til oppgjøret på London Stadium.

Eriksen tilbake er positivt for Kane-eiere. Til tross for to seire uten dansken på banen, har kreativiteten til playmakeren vært savnet.

West Ham

Arnautovic
Pellegrino: “Marko is okay. When he returned from internationals he worked with the squad without any problems. We must be careful about his knee.» – @BenDinnery

Ingen fare for startplassen til østerrikeren denne helgen, men det pågående problemet med kneet er ikke helt betryggende.
