<h2>Diogo Jota</h2>
<p>Jota has not trained with the Liverpool squad since suffering a foot injury against Wolves on Saturday, according to Sky Sports.</p>
<p>Reporting from their training session on Tuesday, Sky said a scan came back &#8216;all clear&#8217; but tipped <strong>Darwin Nunez </strong>to start against Bologna in the Champions League.</p>
<p>Jota is in 9% of FPL squads, with teammates <strong>Mohamed Salah </strong>and <strong>Luis Diaz </strong>overtaking him for popularity.</p>
<p>Should he miss the Reds&#8217; European fixture, those with Jota will be relying on Arne Slot&#8217;s <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/premier-league-predicted-lineups">press conference</a> for updates ahead of their Saturday meeting with Crystal Palace.</p>
<p>But Slot said on Tuesday that although Jota had missed two lots of training, he had only suffered a knock and was expected to be available for the Bologna game.</p>

<h2>Joao Pedro and other Brighton concerns</h2>
<p>Pedro was left out of the Brighton squad at the weekend as he continued to suffer the after-effects of a <strong>Morgan Gibbs-White </strong>challenge in Gameweek 5.</p>
<p>Fabian Hurzeler told reporters that it would be a case of assessing him week by week, so further updates will be required ahead of their next game against Spurs on Sunday.</p>
<p>Pedro is not the only injury issue for Brighton. <strong>Simon Adingra </strong>missed out because of a minor injury, <strong>Jan Paul van Hecke </strong>is expected to be out until after the next international break with a groin problem and <strong>Joel Veltman </strong>was ill.</p>
<div id="attachment_67384" style="width: 907px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-67384" class="size-full wp-image-67384" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/pedro-fixtures.jpg" alt="Joao Pedro" width="897" height="731" srcset="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/pedro-fixtures.jpg 897w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/pedro-fixtures-300x244.jpg 300w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/pedro-fixtures-768x626.jpg 768w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/pedro-fixtures-610x497.jpg 610w" sizes="(max-width: 897px) 100vw, 897px" /><p id="caption-attachment-67384" class="wp-caption-text">Joao Pedro</p></div>
<h2>Ben White, Riccardo Calafiori and Jurrien Timber</h2>
<p>White was not fit to face Leicester on Saturday and was also not in the squad for the Paris Saint-Germain game on Tuesday.</p>
<p>The Englishman is contending with a knee issue &#8211; the same problem thought to be facing Calafiori &#8211; but the Italian played 90 minutes in the Champions League.</p>
<p>While Calafiori is no longer a worry, Timber came off at half-time against PSG. Mikel Arteta said:</p>
<div class="sc-gEvEer kGHzwr">
<div class="sc-aXZVg iLuLZl">
<div>
<div>
<blockquote><p>“He was unbelievable.</p></blockquote>
</div>

</div>
</div>
<div class="sc-gEvEer kGHzwr">
<div class="sc-aXZVg iLuLZl">
<div>
<div>
<blockquote><p>“He felt something muscular and we didn’t want to take any risks. He has been out a year and played a lot of minutes. We have to manage him.”</p></blockquote>

<h2>Son Heung-min</h2>
<p>Son was another player who was not able to feature in Gameweek 6, with Ange Postecoglou stating the midfielder &#8216;just wasn&#8217;t right&#8217; in time for the Manchester United clash.</p>
<p>Spurs are in action on Thursday against Ferencvaros and Son will be assessed. Postecoglou said on Sunday:</p>
<blockquote><p>‘We&#8217;ll see. Obviously it was a quick turnaround today, so we&#8217;ll assess it when we go back and get back down to London.’</p></blockquote>
<p>The Lilywhites are also sweating over the condition of <strong>Destiny Udogie</strong>, who came off after he &#8216;felt something in his quad&#8217;.</p>
<p>Both Udogie and his manager said he should be &#8216;OK&#8217; &#8211; but it&#8217;s another one to monitor.</p>
<div id="attachment_67386" style="width: 907px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-67386" class="size-full wp-image-67386" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Son-fixtures.jpg" alt="Son Heung-min's stats" width="897" height="731" srcset="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Son-fixtures.jpg 897w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Son-fixtures-300x244.jpg 300w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Son-fixtures-768x626.jpg 768w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Son-fixtures-610x497.jpg 610w" sizes="(max-width: 897px) 100vw, 897px" /><p id="caption-attachment-67386" class="wp-caption-text">Son Heung-min&#8217;s <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/opta/" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c="1" title="FPL Stats by OPTA - Player and Team Stats">stats</a></p></div>
<h2>Manchester United midfield</h2>
<p>The suspended <strong>Bruno Fernandes </strong>aside, there is little interest in United&#8217;s midfield at present.</p>
<p>But problems for <strong>Kobbie Mainoo </strong>and <strong>Mason Mount </strong>could add to their vulnerability should they miss next weekend&#8217;s league match.</p>
<p>Both could not complete the Spurs game, despite Mount coming on as a substitute himself. Erik ten Hag said:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Of course, when a player [Mainoo] is coming off before half-time, then there are some concerns.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>He added:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Also, I have seen how Mason came off. He was bleeding [from a head injury], so it&#8217;s clear there are some problems there, and we have to see how they recover in the coming days.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>United travel to Porto on Thursday before playing Aston Villa on Sunday.</p>
<div id="attachment_67387" style="width: 910px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-67387" class="size-full wp-image-67387" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Manchester-United-midfielders.jpg" alt="Issues in midfield for Manchester United" width="900" height="731" srcset="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Manchester-United-midfielders.jpg 900w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Manchester-United-midfielders-300x244.jpg 300w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Manchester-United-midfielders-768x624.jpg 768w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Manchester-United-midfielders-610x495.jpg 610w" sizes="(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px" /><p id="caption-attachment-67387" class="wp-caption-text">Issues in midfield for Manchester United</p></div>
<h2>Kevin De Bruyne</h2>
<p>Gameweek 8 could be the return date for De Bruyne, who has been managing a thigh injury.</p>
<p>Speaking before Manchester City&#8217;s Tuesday Champions League game, Pep Guardiola said:</p>
<blockquote><p>“Hopefully after the international break he [Kevin] will be back,</p>
<p>“Everybody is ready &#8211; we will put out the best team possible to compete and beat them.”</p></blockquote>
<p>That indicated <strong>Erling Haaland </strong>had no ill effects from a tackle on his Achilles during the Newcastle fixture, which left him bleeding. He played an hour against Slovan Bratislava, coming off after scoring City&#8217;s third.</p>
<div id="attachment_67388" style="width: 907px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-67388" class="size-full wp-image-67388" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/De-Bruyne-3.jpg" alt="Kevin De Bruyne" width="897" height="731" srcset="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/De-Bruyne-3.jpg 897w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/De-Bruyne-3-300x244.jpg 300w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/De-Bruyne-3-768x626.jpg 768w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/De-Bruyne-3-610x497.jpg 610w" sizes="(max-width: 897px) 100vw, 897px" /><p id="caption-attachment-67388" class="wp-caption-text">Kevin De Bruyne</p></div>
