Premier League managers share injury news as teams prepare for upcoming matches this weekend.
Newcastle’s coach, Eddie Howe, is optimistic about the fitness of his midfield players. Meanwhile, Arsenal’s Mikel Arteta is dealing with some injury worries, especially concerning center-back Gabriel. Arteta noted that a few players missed training and they will have to wait to see if Gabriel can play in the upcoming match against West Ham.
Bournemouth’s manager, Andoni Iraola, spoke about a significant suspension issue before their game against Wolves. He confirmed that Antoine Semenyo will be missing due to accumulated bookings. Iraola explained that some of these bookings were just part of the game, but they will work on reducing dissent from players.
Iraola also mentioned that they will have Ryan Christie back from suspension, but losing Semenyo is a big blow for the team. He added that a few players have minor injuries but are not ruled out for the match. The team is focused on preparing for the game despite these challenges.
As the weekend approaches, all teams are working hard to manage their players’ fitness and prepare for the matches ahead. The updates from the managers show the ongoing challenges of keeping players healthy during a busy season. Fans will be eager to see how these injury situations unfold as the games get closer.
