This has been the season of the injury crisis however Newcastle and Spurs are taking the comical myth too a long way, with Liverpool and Arsenal both roughly mid-desk.
20) West Ham
Michail Antonio (knee), Jarrod Bowen (knee), Mohammed Kudus (illness)
Neither of these knee injuries are significantly principal however David Moyes used to be with out doubt frustrated to beget to if truth be told play Divin Mubama in the Europa League. At least he obtained to sub off the teenager against Backa Topola.
19) Everton
Dele (groin/hip/pelvis), Andre Gomes (heel), Amadou Onana (calf), Beto (knock)
Hands up who else forgot about Andre Gomes? Granted, Everton beget a few injuries. But they are all scheduled to be reduction by early December with the exception of Dele, who is then again ingratiating himself in first-group matters and “absorbing” all things Dyche.
18) Fulham
Rodrigo Muniz (knee), Adama Traore (hamstring), Issa Diop (ankle)
Of your total hamstrings in the arena, Adama Traore’s can also serene be among the many most at threat of strain. Marco Silva would possibly perhaps genuinely now now not beget realised the opposite two are missing.
17) Burnley
Jack Cork (knock), Aro Muric (illness), Lyle Foster (leave of absence)
“We beget been very fortunate that Lyle had been very beginning with us. From that moment shall we act, as almost immediately as he stated it and confirmed indicators of how excessive it used to be for him. Your total reinforce group within the club mobilised and made distinct he would possibly perhaps perhaps give attention to his contain recovery. In moments love this, we beget now to place the human first.”
Credit to Vincent Kompany, Burnley and most of all Foster, to whom we would like the very finest in his continued recovery.
16) Wolves
Joe Hodge (shoulder), Pedro Neto (hamstring), Rayan Ait-Nouri (ankle)
Gary O’Neil seemingly considers injuries to be a long way below refereeing decisions on any checklist of things holding Wolves reduction this season. Pedro Neto will be welcomed reduction with beginning hands however there would possibly perhaps be “no true timeframe” on that one and they’ve performed alright with out him if truth be told.
Wolves beget disregarded Pedro Neto
15) Manchester City
Kevin De Bruyne (thigh), Mateo Kovacic (thigh), Matheus Nunes (knock)
“We are in pain however I am now now not going to claim, ‘Oh, we beget now quite a bit of injuries’,” stated Pep Guardiola in September, hyper-wide awake of how any Manchester City attempt to play the arena’s richest violin is bought externally.
Things beget been worse when De Bruyne, Stones, Jack Grealish, Mateo Kovacic and Bernardo Silva beget been all concurrently out. Half the group used to be imagined to be missing for the Liverpool recreation then again it was out to be traditional international atomize banter.
14) Aston Villa
Emi Buendia (knee), Tyrone Mings (knee), Bertrand Traore (knock)
There are a pair of season-ending knee injuries among that quantity however, for need of a greater phrase, Aston Villa beget taken them entirely in their crawl. That Unai Emery has dealt so seamlessly with the situation is testomony to the excellence of his coaching and squad greater than anything.
13) Nottingham Wooded space
Taiwo Awoniyi (groin), Felipe (knee), Ibrahima Sangare (illness)
With at least six extra Premier League needs than any Nottingham Wooded space player since they earned promotion – Brennan Johnson is 2d – it is miles exact to claim Taiwo Awoniyi will be disregarded by means of groin surgical treatment.
Chris Wood and Divock Origi are carrying that burden, whereas Steve Cooper will defective fingers that Ibrahima Sangare’s virus would now not stick spherical for too prolonged.
12) Bournemouth
Tyler Adams (thigh), Alex Scott (knee), Ryan Fredericks (heel), Emiliano Marcondes (ankle), Max Aarons (thigh), Darren Randolph (illness), Lloyd Kelly (thigh)
Andoni Iraola spent greater than £50m on three of these avid gamers this summer season, which would possibly perhaps perhaps abet explain at least portion of Bournemouth’s stuttering inaugurate. Maybe they’ll also serene pause signing folk with borked knees.
Two of these complications feel at least a little bit bit self-inflicted, with Adams but to properly recuperate from the injury he used to be signed with, whereas Scott has suffered a novel knee anguish now now not truly to be unrelated to the one he had earlier in the season.
The Andoni Iraola revolution would possibly perhaps well beget been location reduction months as a result of of the absence of Emiliano Marcondes. We would possibly perhaps now now not ever know.
11) Arsenal
Thomas Partey (thigh), Emile Smith Rowe (knee), Jurrien Bushes (knee), Fabio Vieira (groin)
Fine avid gamers and with out doubt thought to be mandatory by Mikel Arteta, however seven Premier and Champions League starts between them for the facet prime of the original desk and by means of to the knockouts as neighborhood winners in the latter suggests Arsenal can cope with out.
10) Liverpool
Thiago (hip), Andy Robertson (shoulder), Alisson (thigh), Diogo Jota (knock), Stefan Bajcetic (calf)
Jurgen Klopp acknowledged that Liverpool “can also serene be fortunate with injuries” in defence significantly, having opted now now not to signal a centre-half in the summer season, however Jarell Quansah’s emergence has helped ease the weight and it potentially helps having Virgil van Dijk be so imperious again, even if he doesn’t admire playing so remarkable soccer.
The Manchester City plan counted Alisson and Diogo Jota among the many casualties however the arrangement Liverpool beget dealt with Robertson being out offers hope. There would possibly perhaps be the root for some kind of vague pub quiz quiz concerning Thiago’s 51 Premier League starts; what a outlandish time.
9) Sheffield United
Chris Basham (ankle), Rhian Brewster (thigh), Rhys Norrington-Davies (thigh), John Egan (Achilles), Tom Davies (thigh), Daniel Jebbison (illness)
The Blades using 27 avid gamers in the Premier League – only knackered Newcastle (29) beget called on extra – is a clue as to their struggles with injury this season. Paul Heckingbottom’s squad is now now not blessed with a great deal of quality or quantity in relative terms, however solutions beget had to be found.
That stated, injuries can potentially be ticked off any checklist of excuses considering most of these key names are reduction in the fold.
8) Crystal Palace
Jesurun Rak-Sakyi (thigh), Eberechi Eze (ankle), James Tomkins (knock), Dean Henderson (thigh), Cheick Doucoure (Achilles)
The walking wounded is also minute in quantity at Selhurst Park, however they are mountainous in significance. Ask Roy Hodgson and he’d potentially only detestable Jeffrey Schlupp as extra principal than Eberechi Eze and Cheick Doucoure.
Both beget been set out of action in the defeat to Luton, with Doucoure’s anguish deemed a long way greater and potentially season-ending. After missing Michael Olise among others for see you later earlier in the campaign, Hodgson would possibly perhaps contemplate now now not stepping on pavement cracks or below ladders for a whereas.
7) Luton
Mads Andersen (thigh), Dan Potts (ankle), Reece Burke (thigh), Cauley Woodrow (calf), Albert Sambi-Lokonga (thigh), Issa Kabore (head), Marvelous Nakamba (knee)
Rob Edwards described his group as being “down to the bare bones” final month and Luton are serene contending with some high-profile injuries. Andersen, Burke, Lokonga, Kabore and Nakamba are all seemingly starters for a club who understandably attain now now not beget any love-for-love replacements going spare.
6) Chelsea
Wesley Fofana (knee), Ben Chilwell (thigh), Romeo Lavia (ankle), Christopher Nkunku (knee), Malo Gusto (ankle), Trevoh Chalobah (thigh), Carney Chukwuemeka (knee)
Mauricio Pochettino had hoped that Christopher Nkunku and Romeo Lavia would be accessible after the international atomize, saying both beget been “in an accurate situation” sooner than the Newcastle recreation, after which he will presumably be rushing the scientific division to salvage them engrossing.
Both returning from prolonged-term injuries capacity patience will be wanted, which also stands for Fofana after he started running on grass again.
5) Manchester United
Casemiro (thigh), Lisandro Martinez (foot), Mason Mount (calf), Jonny Evans (thigh), Tyrell Malacia (knee), Christian Eriksen (knee), Amad (knee)
Things beget undeniably eased off with the returns of Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Rasmus Hojlund from short-term absences, as well as Luke Shaw’s comeback from an injury which had sidelined him since August.
Erik ten Hag blamed “overload” and an “expanding time desk” for the myriad points Manchester United beget faced however the club beget launched an investigation to determine any patterns into these muscular points in explicit, with Gary O’Driscoll having started because the club’s head of sports actions medicine in September after being poached from Arsenal.
Thru all of it, they’ve primarily the most points of any Premier League facet from October onwards. Upright don’t mention the Champions League.
4) Brentford
Rico Henry (knee), Aaron Hickey (thigh), Kevin Schade (adductor), Mikkel Damsgaard (knee), Josh Dasilva (thigh), Nathan Collins (ankle), Mathias Jensen (knock), Mads Roerslev (knock)
There are longer absentee lists accessible, significantly when adding the suspended Ivan Toney, who obtained’t be returning till January at the earliest. But in Henry, Hickey and Toney, Brentford beget three certain starters on the sidelines and a squad in any other case impacted relatively profoundly.
Thomas Frank would be onerous pushed to determine a player who has now now not disregarded at least one recreation by means of injury this season. The manager has stated that even goalkeeping coach Manu Sotelo “obtained a mark” in an altercation with Nottingham Wooded space’s groundstaff sooner than their plan in October.
3) Brighton
Julio Enciso (knee), Pervis Estupinan (thigh), James Milner (muscle), Danny Welbeck (hamstring), Solly March (knee), Tariq Lamptey (thigh), Ansu Fati (thigh), Adam Webster (knock)
Roberto De Zerbi would seemingly blame these pesky English referees for having their phallic-love qualities remarked upon by Lewis Dunk, or punishing Mahmoud Dahoud stamps with straight red cards, however these two suspensions are helping push Brighton’s squad to breaking point.
The Seagulls beget emerged from the latest international atomize with a pair of onerous-earned victories however the defence which finished that Nottingham Wooded space victory tells a narrative: Unfavorable, Van Hecke, Veltman, Hinshelwood. The manager says they serene “beget adequate to compete” then again it’s a long way from fully satisfied.
2) Tottenham
Ivan Perisic (knee), Micky van de Ven (thigh), James Maddison (ankle), Ryan Sessegnon (thigh), Manor Solomon (knee), Richarlison (groin), Alfie Whiteman (ankle), Rodrigo Bentancur (ankle), Pape Sarr (knock)
Some incredibly online Spurs fans beget suggested retributive justice be taken out on Matty Cash when Ange’s boys talk over with Villa Park in March, the defender having set Rodrigo Bentancur reduction on the shelf from which he had only lately climbed down.
A main quantity of these complications are scheduled to stretch well into 2024 and the suspension of Cristian Romero is now now not truly to abet as Spurs attempt and pull themselves out of their current meander.
With the arrangement things are going, Harry Kane’s frail mid-season ankle injury would possibly perhaps well beget permanently banished him to the shadow realm if he had stayed.
1) Newcastle
Jacob Murphy (shoulder), Dan Burn (reduction), Elliot Anderson (reduction), Sven Botman (knee), Harvey Barnes (foot), Callum Wilson (hamstring), Sean Longstaff (ankle), Joe Willock (Achilles), Javier Manquillo (groin), Matt Targett (thigh)
It has gone nearly entirely below the radar that Newcastle are missing a few avid gamers. There would possibly perhaps be each and every likelihood that is the first you’re hearing of it. Credit to them for keeping what Eddie Howe has called a “irregular” situation below wraps.
The Magpies is also missing a solid adequate XI of avid gamers – Sean Longstaff can streak in find; he’s huge – however they’ve produced a thrilling win over Chelsea and can also serene beget nicked three points from PSG in the Champions League. Their bench for that match told the parable: Martin Dubravka, Paul Dummett, Loris Karius, Lewis Hall, Michael Ndiweni, James Huntley and Ben Parkinson. Abnormal that none of them beget been trusted to explore the game out.
And things appropriate obtained a total lot worse.
Appears love Dubravka is starting against Man U. https://t.co/LJPjD3h7It pic.twitter.com/SKXMkSFaO9
