Haaland is a doubt for Saturday. "Three things: I saw him so tired," he started. "Second one, he had a little bit of influenza in his body. Like Joao - Joao had a fever. "Then the third, he had a knock in his foot. That’s why he was not able to play the second half." - Pep comments via Man City Website
He'll be back for Leicester, no matter what mastermind Pep will say in the prep.

At this stage going

Gibbs-White to Almiron

And possibly

My trades are evaporating at a rapid rate

Long article, lots of quotes, highlights:
On Haaland - “He feels better, but we train this afternoon [FRIDAY], and we will assess in these few hours. We will see how he feels. After we will decide - I will know it in two hours if he can play." {yeah, if you could just let us know after Pep, cheers!}

No fresh concerns

Walker and Phillips "are not ready for Leicester” , maybes for World Cup (or before??)

Ederson is fine

Yes - Thiago
Probably - Henderson
Maybe from bench - Konate
No- Keita, Matip, Diaz, Jota, Arthur

Henderson: "With Hendo, we have to wait a little bit. It's a knock, he was a bit stiff yesterday, had only treatment yesterday. So we will see how he will be today. I expect him to be OK, to be honest.

Thiago is back. Naby [Keita] not yet. Joel [Matip] will not be back – he's here training but rehab. You don't have to ask about Diogo [Jota] for a while and not for Luis [Diaz] for a while."

Arthur: "It's a long-term injury. When he's back, yeah, we will think about it again but in the moment it's too far away. I have no idea how long it will be but it will be long. It's a serious injury."

Ibrahima Konate "I would say the Ajax game, we didn't have more subs, so we could take him with us [he was on bench] but he was not really ready for this game – in a very serious situation, last five minutes maybe. So now we have to see. He's a step closer, definitely, a few days more and he's around now and is now available. How long? We will see but he's available."

WHam "Jarrod has done a little bit of running on the grass so we will see. Paqueta will be unavailable until next week."

Forest have no fresh injury concerns to face Arsenal. Lewis O'Brien is back in training and Renan Lodi has also trained this week.

Fulham "Not a big difference (from the last game), but Kenny Tete will be ready to be involved in the squad.

Brighton "[Joel] Veltman has some problems, [Adam] Lallana is okay. [Kaoru] Mitoma feels good and trained with us today and yesterday. I haven't decided the first eleven yet - I will decide tomorrow."

Spurs Conte confirmed there are no new injury concerns and Richarlison and Dejan Kulusevski remain out..... "we have to pay great attention to rotation and play a strong team."

Probably more on there from 6 other clubs with press conferences today....

Score: 79
Rd Rank: 2,396
Overall Rank: 147 (from 74)

Between RD1 and RD10, only one score below 100 (85). In the past fortnight, scores of 69 and 79. Fell asleep before the Liverpool match ended and did not wake in time for the Man City game. VC was stuck on Salah and the C was on Foden.:sleep::ROFLMAO:

Finally time to bring in Haaland, so sorry in advance for the upcoming blanks and injuries for the tremendous Nordic meat shield.

Out: M Guehi and Antony
In: T Alexnader-Arnold and E Haaland
View attachment 49023
Bar possibly bringing back Ederson, I have enough depth and premiums to sit on my trades for a while.
Haaland trade reversed. Back to remaining salary of $11,870,000 with no interest to accrue. :cry: Foden and Antony benched for Van Dijk and Alexander-Arnold.
