Injuries & suspensions update ahead of Gameweek 19: Latest on Alexander Isak’s hamstring niggle
DREAM TEAM brings you all the latest injury, suspension and availability news for Gameweek 19 in one convenient location.
After Newcastle's Carabao Cup semi-final first leg win over Arsenal, Eddie Howe expressed some concern over Alexander Isak, citing a hamstring niggle.
Thankfully, the Magpies' head coach has provided a positive update on his star striker, telling reporters: "We think he's in a good place and he'll report back tomorrow. Initial assessments, fingers crossed he'll be okay."
That being said, Howe essentially ruled Isak out of this weekend's FA Cup meeting with Bromley, with a view to ensuring the club's top scorer this season is able to start against Wolves in midweek.
The Sweden international is currently the fifth-most popular player in Dream Team with an ownership of 32.7%.
Bruno Guimaraes and Fabian Schar are available again having served suspensions while Sven Botman is likely to be rested having started two consecutive games upon his comeback from a ten-month layoff.
Dominik Szoboszlai trained with Liverpool's Under-21s on Thursday but it's unclear whether the Hungarian midfielder will make Liverpool's squad to face Accrington Stanley on Saturday.
Arne Slot expects Jarell Quansah to be available now the centre-back has got over his recent illness - the 21-year-old was replaced after half an hour against Tottenham on Wednesday night.
Spurs midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur suffered a concussion in the same game and has been ruled out for two weeks.
Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall would have been in line to start against Morecambe this weekend but the Chelsea midfielder will miss out with injury, as per Enzo Maresca.
The Italian tactician also said: "[Ben] Chilwell is thinking about leaving, so it is better to avoid using him and avoid injuries and these types of things."
John McGinn is likely to be sidelined until February but Unai Emery will be able to call upon Morgan Rogers in Gameweek 19 now the 22 year-old has served his domestic suspension.
Jhon Duran will be available for Aston Villa's trip to Goodison Park in midweek.
