Bukayo Saka was substituted off against Manchester United
The final weekend of the 2023/24 Premier League season has arrived, Gameweek 38. Fantasy Premier League (FPL) players will be keen to bow out in style, though the growing list of injury concerns at each respective club is threatening to throw a spanner into the works. Express Sport takes you through all the biggest injury concerns for managers…
Bukayo Saka
All the talk at Arsenal has been about whether they are capable of beating Everton to capitalise on any mistake made by Manchester City on Sunday. As a result, Mikel Arteta did not offer an update on the condition of Saka in his press conference this week. The England international was substituted off against Manchester United in the 82nd minute, and his FPL owners will be hoping that the change was only precautionary rather than enforced.
Anthony Gordon
Gordon has been a fruitful pickup for FPL managers this season, though he may not be able to contribute against Brentford this weekend. Newcastle manager Eddie Howe revealed he was ‘not 100 per cent sure’ whether the winger will be fit for his side’s trip to the Gtech Community Stadium due to an ankle injury.

Callum Wilson
In better news for Newcastle supporters, Howe is ‘anticipating’ that Wilson will be fit to face Brentford. The striker was absent from the Magpies’ matchday squad to face Brighton last weekend but he has now returned to training and is expected to be available.
Andrew Robertson
It will be an emotional day at Anfield on Sunday, with Jurgen Klopp taking charge of his final Liverpool match. Robertson has been a key figure in his manager’s success over the years, and there is a growing feeling that he will be fit to take on Wolves. Earlier this week, Klopp revealed that Robertson had told him that he will be returning to training soon following a knock, and the Scotland international will be keen to ensure he is available for Klopp’s farewell match.
