Injuries & suspensions update ahead of Gameweek 17: Latest news on Pau Torres, Anthony Gordon and more

DREAM TEAM brings you all the latest injury, suspension and availability news ahead of Gameweek 17 in one easily digestible dose.

As always, Eddie Howe kept his cards close to his chest in regards to Newcastle’s availability doubts.

A late decision is to be made on Joelinton (£3.7m), Fabian Schar (£3.9m) and Anthony Gordon (£4m).

Speaking about the latter, the Magpies’ boss said: “Anthony was sore. It was a horrible challenge on him, I am really disappointed with the tackle – we will see how he is today.”

Alexander Isak (£4.1m) is deemed “50/50” for Newcastle’s trip to Luton on Saturday.

Dream Team bosses once again have a decision to make on Gordon[/caption]

This weekend comes too soon for Thomas Partey (£2.6m) who is “still finalising his rehab” and Arsenal are generally light in midfield with Mohamed Elneny (£1.3m) and Fabio Vieira (£2.4m) also sidelined – Jorginho (£2.1m) is a doubt too.

Seamus Coleman (£2.1m) is “touch and go” for Everton’s trip to Tottenham this weekend but Sean Dyche confirmed that Vitaliy Mykolenko (£3.4m) is in contention having returned to training this week.

Abdoulaye Doucoure (£3.2m) won’t feature for the Toffees on Saturday but his injury is a minor one and the club are hopeful of a quick return.

As for Spurs, Yves Bissouma (£2.6m) and Destiny Udogie (£2.5m) are both suspended, though the latter will be available in midweek.

James Ward-Prowse (£4.4m) and Lucas Paqueta (£4.1m) were named on West Ham’s bench in midweek but David Moyes expressed the need for rotation – both midfielders are likely to start at home to Manchester United.

Villa will be without their in-form centre-back tonight[/caption]

Unai Emery revealed to reporters that he’ll be without both Youri Tielemans (£2.7m) and Pau Torres (£3.1m) this evening.

Boubacar Kamara (£2.2m) is also suspended for Sheffield United’s visit to Villa Park following his red card last time out but both Douglas Luiz (£3.7m) and Lucas Digne (£3m) are available again.

The Villains’ tactician suggested Clement Lenglet (£2.3m) would play at centre-back in Torres’ absence.

Pedro Neto (£3.2m) may be included in Wolves’ Christmas Eve squad for the first time since pulling up with a hamstring injury.

The Portuguese winger has participated in full training all week with the rest of the squad.

Reece James (£3.5m) is set to undergo surgery in Finland and is expected to be sidelined until at least March.

Kaoru Mitoma (£3.5m) was seen leaving Selhurst Park on crutches on Thursday night – he is therefore a doubt to face Spurs later in Gameweek 17.
