FC Bayern München v Arsenal FC - UEFA Champions League 2026/27 League Phase MD3

Saka won't be involved for Arsenal this weekend after he was forced off during their Champions League draw with Bayern Munich. Mikel Arteta said on Friday: "He's going for an MRI this afternoon because he had a lot of fluid in the area so it was difficult to understand the severity of the injury. We will know tomorrow. We need a few more scans and opinions from the specialists, when a player is struggling to walk off the pitch and he's restricted in his movement, they are not good signs." (Image: Getty)

Brentford v Liverpool - Premier League 2026/27

Szoboszlai is still unavailable after he suffered a recurrence of the hamstring injury he picked up on international duty earlier this month. Andoni Iraola said: "Dom is going to be out this weekend. I don't think he's far but he hasn't trained with the group still, and also considering the other day that we started him and he had to go out, we will probably take one or two days more than we would last week. He's in a good place. Dom is already training outside alone and is going to train with the group, but he's not ready for this one." (Image: Getty)

Morgan Gibbs-White

Crystal Palace FC v Nottingham Forest FC - Premier League 2026/27 — Oliver Glasner has confirmed that Gibbs-White is likely to be involved in Friday's game against Ipswich Town, saying: "I think you could also see that without Morgan Gibbs-White, we had a very competitive team against the champions. This gives us confidence because we lost without Morgan and with Morgan. He’s an important part, but he can’t win the game alone, so we need a top team performance, but it’s good to have him back."
