Premier League gameweek 32: Confirmed team news and manager quotes for every club

sportsmole.co.uk, 5 April 2024, 18:41
ARSENAL

Gameweek 32 opponents: Brighton (A)

Out: Jurrien Timber (knee)

Doubtful: Bukayo Saka (hamstring)

Mikel Arteta quotes: "We will know [about Saka] with our training session in a few hours. We will know whether he is fit or not."

ASTON VILLA

Gameweek 32 opponents: Brentford (H)

Out: Emiliano Buendia (knee), Tyrone Mings (knee), Boubacar Kamara (knee), Matty Cash (hamstring), Jacob Ramsey (toe)

Doubtful: Emiliano Martinez (illness), Ollie Watkins (thigh), Nicolo Zaniolo (unspecified)

Unai Emery quotes: "Emi Martinez and Ollie Watkins, they could play tomorrow. We will prepare the match. Tomorrow we will know if they are available and ready to play. They will both be in the squad.

"[Ramsey] again has some problems in his toe and he is not going to be [available] for the rest of the season."

BOURNEMOUTH

Gameweek 32 opponents: Luton (A)

Out: Ryan Fredericks (calf), Luis Sinisterra (thigh)

Doubtful: Chris Mepham (illness), Lloyd Kelly (hip), Marcos Senesi (thigh)

Andoni Iraola quotes: "I wouldn't say it's impossible [for Senesi to be available], because every day he does more things with the group. Also these are kind of trainings where we cannot push a lot.

"They are almost recovery trainings we are doing. In between the games, he is able to do it with the team. So I hope he can be in the squad I think.

"Sometimes I am very clear and I tell you this will be and this will not, but this week is going to be difficult. Because like I told you after the [Crystal Palace] game, we have some cases of, I don't want to say 'illness' but they are not probably feeling 100%.

"Tomorrow they could come fresh and they are available for the game. It is true we have some players who are let's say in doubtful conditions to perform if the game was [yesterday]. Luckily for us, we still have [one day] and we hope they can recover and help us.

"They are not fresh injuries, nothing injury-related, but it is true we have some situations we are dealing with day to day. It is true that we have some doubts, yes.

"The key for me is if they have a temperature or not. If you have a temperature, probably you will be two or three days with these symptoms and it is difficult to play football with a temperature. It is a matter of different situations. But we still have [time] and I hope we don't miss more players."

BRENTFORD

Gameweek 32 opponents: Aston Villa (A)

Out: Joshua Dasilva (knee), Rico Henry (knee), Ben Mee (ankle), Christian Norgaard (back), Ethan Pinnock (ankle), Aaron Hickey (hamstring)

Doubtful: Kevin Schade (adductor)

Thomas Frank quotes: "Everyone is in a fine place. There are some tired boys, naturally, after two games and the international week where a lot of them played good minutes, which we are proud of and happy with. They will be more than ready for Saturday; it is today they are allowed to be tired.

"Schade could be available and that's something I need to think about for Saturday. It will be very good to have him back. That pace he's got is incredible. I remember that fantastic action when he put it in the top corner against Crystal Palace at home. That seems like ages ago! So that would be very positive."

Club statement: "Defender Ethan Pinnock (ankle) and midfielder Christian Norgaard (back) are progressing well but remain sidelined for the Bees' trip to Villa Park.

"Full-back Aaron Hickey (hamstring) is also unavailable, while Rico Henry (knee), Josh Dasilva (knee) and Ben Mee (ankle) are out for the remainder of the season."

BRIGHTON & HOVE ALBION

Gameweek 32 opponents: Arsenal (H)

Out: Solly March (knee), Kaoru Mitoma (back), Jack Hinshelwood (foot), Billy Gilmour (knee), Adam Webster (knock), Evan Ferguson (ankle), James Milner (thigh)

Doubtful: None

Club statement: "Ansu Fati and Valentin Barco are back in the squad after missing Wednesday's goalless draw against Brentford, but Adam Webster and Evan Ferguson are not available."

BURNLEY

Gameweek 32 opponents: Everton (A)

Out: Aaron Ramsey (knee), Nathan Redmond (thigh), Luca Koleosho (thigh)

Doubtful: Jordan Beyer (thigh), Ameen Al-Dakhil (unspecified)

Vincent Kompany quotes: "First we have to make sure we assess everyone after two games in quick succession and whoever is ready and fit to play, will. But I believe everyone has come through fine and ready to go on Saturday."

CHELSEA

Gameweek 32 opponents: Sheff Utd (A)

Out: Wesley Fofana (knee), Romeo Lavia (thigh), Reece James (hamstring), Christopher Nkunku (hamstring), Levi Colwill (foot), Trevoh Chalobah (unspecified), Lesley Ugochukwu (hamstring)

Doubtful: Ben Chilwell (illness), Robert Sanchez (unspecified)

Mauricio Pochettino quotes: "We need to see [on Chilwell]. Still he is not training. We will see if he can be involved [in training today] but then Sunday is the game, so there isn't much time. If he's not ready for Sunday, then we hope for the next game he will be available."

CRYSTAL PALACE

Gameweek 32 opponents: Man City (H)

Out: Sam Johnstone (elbow), Cheick Doucoure (Achilles), Rob Holding (ankle), Marc Guehi (knee), Chris Richards (knee), Odsonne Edouard (knee), Matheus Franca (groin)

Doubtful: Jesurun Rak-Sakyi (thigh), Michael Olise (thigh)

Oliver Glasner quotes: "All the players who were in the squad in the last games are fit again. Michael is coming back into the squad. We spoke to the medical team and the advice is for 15 or 20 minutes. He is ready and it gives us one more option towards the end of the game so we are happy.

"We didn't train a lot this week because it's the third game now, but of course he has shown his individual quality in possession. His dribbling, his finishing is great.

"But he was out now for eight weeks and for the fourth time this season, so he was more in rehab than on the pitch. We will give him the time to find his best performance, to get his quality back.

"Everyone needs rhythm, everyone needs minutes, needs training. He is now starting [to get that] so I don't expect him at the best level after eight or nine weeks of injury, but he can play 15 or 20 minutes. If it is still a tight game at the end, then maybe he can have one or two decisive situations to decide the game against us.

"[Marc Guehi] is not training with the team at the minute. I would say he will be at least two or three weeks.

"We will look from day to day [at Chris Richards] - one day it looks better and then the next day not so. But I think he will miss at least the Liverpool game and then we will see. He will be out for two or three weeks."

EVERTON

Gameweek 32 opponents: Burnley (H)

Out: Dele Alli (groin), Arnaut Danjuma (ankle), Lewis Dobbin (ankle), Andre Gomes (calf)

Doubtful: Amadou Onana (knock)

Sean Dyche quotes: "Andre [Gomes] is getting fitter and sharper. It's only really been a fitness issue with Andre, he has been really unlucky with niggly calf injuries, but he is looking stronger and fitter all the time.

"Arnie [Danjuma] is on the grass, he is not quite fit yet, but he is on the grass with us.

"Jimmy [Garner] got some rest the other night then came on and delivered a really strong performance. We have a very competitive group, especially at the full-back positions now Seamus [Coleman] is fit as well. Shay had played three in a week, so we had to be careful with that which is obvious.

"Amadou [Onana] has had a few knocks, we will see how he is [today]. Dobbo (Lewis Dobson) is making good progress now.

"The lads in midfield, Arnie [Danjuma] and Youssef Chermiti are in Ramadan as well. We have got to weigh up that and make sure they have as much energy as they can while also respecting their faith.

"That offers the idea of change and freshness, we felt that was necessary with three [games] in a week as well."

FULHAM

Gameweek 32 opponents: Newcastle (H)

Out: None

Doubtful: None

Club statement: "Marco Silva should have a fully fit squad to choose from."

LIVERPOOL

Gameweek 32 opponents: Man Utd (A)

Out: Joel Matip (knee), Alisson Becker (hamstring), Stefan Bajcetic (calf), Trent Alexander-Arnold (knee), Diogo Jota (knee), Thiago Alcantara (thigh)

Doubtful: Wataru Endo (knock)

Jurgen Klopp quotes: "We are in it and that's cool, that's good. And now let's keep fighting, that's how it is.

"Obviously the next one is the big one, like they all are. Somebody said we had the best fixture list or schedule; I looked at it and I really don't know how you can have had that idea, maybe I'm too negative but it's a tough one, good opponents. But we are ready and we want to be in that fight, so let's see what we can make of it."

LUTON TOWN

Gameweek 32 opponents: Bournemouth (H)

Out: Tom Lockyer (heart issue), Amari'i Bell (hamstring), Marvelous Nakamba (knee), Elijah Adebayo (thigh), Dan Potts (hamstring), Mads Anderson (calf), Chiedozie Ogbene (hamstring), Jacob Brown (knee), Gabriel Osho (knee)

Doubtful: Reece Burke (unspecified), Albert Sambi Lokonga (thigh)

Club statement: Luton will again be without at least 10 players against Bournemouth although Reece Burke could return after missing Wednesday's 2-0 defeat at Arsenal

"Sambi [Lokonga]'s trying," said Rob Edwards. "The likes of Eli [Adebayo] and Chieo [Ogbene] might be after that, but all the lads are keen to get back as soon as possible."

MANCHESTER CITY

Gameweek 32 opponents: Crystal Palace (A)

Out: Kyle Walker (hamstring), Nathan Ake (calf)

Doubtful: Ederson (leg)

Pep Guardiola quotes: "Ederson is much better. Maybe will be on the list. Nathan [Ake] and Kyle [Walker] are out.

"[I will judge] the faces of the players, the players who recover quicker than the other one. Many aspects. We have to talk with the doctors, the physios, my staff and we will decide tonight or tomorrow early morning.

"I don't know yet [if Kevin De Bruyne and Erling Haaland will return]. Playing 12.30 and just won two days ago, I have to think."

MANCHESTER UNITED

Gameweek 32 opponents: Liverpool (H)

Out: Luke Shaw (thigh), Tyrell Malacia (knee), Anthony Martial (groin), Lisandro Martinez (calf), Victor Lindelof (thigh)

Doubtful: Jonny Evans (unspecified), Casemiro (muscle), Altay Bayindir (muscle), Raphael Varane (foot)
