Injuries & suspensions update ahead of Gameweek 2: Latest on Pedro Porro, Dominic Solanke and others

DREAM TEAM brings you all the latest injury, suspension and availability news ahead of Gameweek 2 in one easily digestible dose.

Tottenham will be without Dominic Solanke when they host Everton on Saturday.

The 13.5%-owned striker featured in all 38 of Bournemouth’s league games last season but a knock to the ankle in his competitive debut for Spurs has sidelined him.

In more positive news for Ange Postecoglou, Pedro Porro has been passed fit.

The Spanish right-back looked uncomfortable late on against Leicester and was eventually substituted but he’s expected to play against the Toffees.

As for Sean Dyche’s side, their availability issues in defence have worsened as James Tarkowski is deemed a doubt while Ashley Young is suspended.

Cole Palmer was seen clutching his hamstring at the end of Chelsea’s win over Servette in the Conference League play-offs but Enzo Maresca is hopeful the Blues’ star man will be available for their trip to Molineux.

“He felt something but he looks fine.” The Italian coach told journalists after the final whistle. “They already checked him, he looks fine and okay.”

Pedro Neto is unlikely to start two games in quick succession and may have to be content with a substitute cameo against his former club.

Robert Sanchez is expected to retain his place between the sticks in the league while new signing Joao Felix could be involved in some capacity having joined from Atletico Madrid on Thursday.

Pep Guardiola revealed that Rodri is “getting better” but the midfielder is yet to resume full team training and is therefore unlikely to be among Manchester City’s squad on Saturday.

Winger Savinho is a minor doubt having been replaced at half time last weekend.

Liverpool centre-back Jarell Quansah, who was hooked at half time against Ipswich last time out, missed a training session in midweek and is considered a doubt for Brentford’s appointment at Anfield.

Ivan Toney is among the most transferred-out players this week having missed Brentford’s opening fixture amid transfer speculation.

Speaking about the target man ahead of Gameweek 2, Thomas Frank told reporters: “He could be involved, he could not be involved.”

Newcastle will have the same squad available for their trip to Bournemouth minus Fabian Schar, who starts his three-game suspension following his dismissal against Southampton.

Nottingham Forest will be without Danilo for a long while after the Brazilian suffered a broken ankle against Bournemouth – the 23-year-old is due to have surgery next week.

Nuno Espirito Santo gave no updates regarding Ola Aina or Anthony Elanga, who both came off prematurely against the Cherries.

Yankuba Minteh is available for Brighton despite his precautionary concussion withdrawal on debut.

Fulham have a clean bill of health but new signing Sander Berge is not available to face Leicester.
