Injuries & suspensions update ahead of Gameweek 15: Latest news on Gabriel, Ollie Watkins and others

DREAM TEAM brings you all the latest injury, suspension and availability news ahead of Gameweek 15 in one easily digestible dose.

Mikel Arteta was characteristically vague when discussing player availability in his Friday press conference.

Arsenal’s head coach said one defender has a “possibility” of featuring against Everton on Saturday having trained and when pushed with a follow-up question he confirmed Gabriel as the player.

This weekend comes too soon for Riccardo Calafiori.

On the other side of North London, Tottenham are once again without first-choice centre-backs Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven.

Plus, Yves Bissouma is suspended for the Lilywhites’ trip to Southampton.

A late decision will be made on Ollie Watkins after the Aston Villa striker picked up a “small injury” in Leipzig last time out.

Unai Emery and his team will assess the England international after Friday’s training session.

Diogo Jota and Federico Chiesa are in contention to feature for Liverpool in some capacity when Fulham visit Anfield on Saturday.

Alisson returned against Girona in the Champions League, leaving only Ibrahima Konate, Kostas Tsimikas and Conor Bradley on the injured list for certain.
