Injuries & suspensions update ahead of Gameweek 36: Dejan Kulusevski among absentees

DREAM TEAM brings you all the latest injury, suspension and availability news for Gameweek 36 in one convenient location.

Unai Emery confirmed that Youri Tielemans and Marcus Rashford will not feature against Tottenham this evening.

Aston Villa will also be without the suspended Jacob Ramsey.

As for Spurs, Dejan Kulusevski has been ruled out for the remainder of the season having undergone knee surgery this week.

In brighter news for the North Londoners, Son Heung-min is expected to get more minutes following his comeback last weekend and there’s an outside chance Lucas Bergvall will recover in time to play some part in the Europa League final on Wednesday night.

Ruben Amorim has hinted at a competitive starting XI at Stamford Bridge tonight despite his midweek final in Bilbao.

Diogo Dalot was pictured in training this week but it’s not clear whether the wing-back is ready for first-team action.

Matthijs de Ligt, Ayden Heaven and Leny Yoro are notable doubts.

Brighton are boosted by the returns of Lewis Dunk and Joel Veltman from injury with Fabian Hurzeler also hopeful that Kaoru Mitoma will be able to feature against Liverpool on Monday night.

Additionally, Joao Pedro is available again having served his three-game suspension in full.

The newly-crowned champions only trained for the first time today having been given time off earlier in the week and so Arne Slot was not able to give any availability information in his pre-match press conference.

Chelsea’s Nicolas Jackson is suspended for the rest of the domestic campaign having seen red against Newcastle last weekend.

Pep Guardiola expects to have the same squad available for Saturday’s FA Cup final.

The decorated tactician gave another positive update regarding Rodri but stressed that he has to wait for the club doctor’s permission before the Ballon d’Or winner is ready for action.

Crystal Palace should be able to call upon the services of Adam Wharton at Wembley.

Newcastle are expected to be without Kieran Trippier at Arsenal on Sunday while Joe Willock only has a “slight chance” of making the trip.

More damaging is the doubt around Sven Botman, who has endured rotten luck with injuries for over a year now.

Eddie Howe admitted he wasn’t clear on the Dutch centre-back’s status but told journalists than he didn’t think it was a serious issue.

As for the Gunners, Mikel Arteta told reporters that Kai Havertz “looks in great shape” and so the German forward may play his first minutes since early February.

Late decisions will also be made on Gabriel Martinelli, Declan Rice and Leandro Trossard while Mikel Merino is set to serve a one-game suspension.

Taiwo Awoniyi was awoken from an induced coma earlier this week having suffered a serious abdominal injury against Leicester last time out.

Thankfully, the Nottingham Forest forward is said to be improving having undergone surgery but Nuno Espirito Santo remains understandably concerned, such was the severity of the situation.

Murillo may return for Forest’s trip to West Ham on Sunday.
