There are a range of injuries to keep on top of before the Fantasy Premier League GW3 deadline at 11am (BST) this morning (Saturday). Here, Express Sport brings you the latest on seven FPL favourites from Tottenham, Manchester City and Manchester United…
Dominic Solanke
Spurs’ £65million signing kicked off his stint in north London by suffering an ankle injury in his very first match. He was not risked against Everton last weekend and manager Ange Postecoglou has confirmed he likely will not feature again until after the international break.
“He was close but we’re probably going to be cautious with him,” said Postecoglou. “We’ve got a big programme post the international break. He’ll miss out Sunday.”
Phil Foden
The reigning PFA Player of the Year missed Man City’s 4-1 thumping of Ipswich Town last weekend due to illness. Pep Guardiola revealed during his press conference on Friday that Foden is still ‘not feeling good’, suggesting he will not make it back for the Sky Blues’ trip to West Ham this afternoon.
Kyle Walker
The right-back has not played a single minute for City this season and Rico Lewis is impressing in his absence. Walker was an unused substitute against Ipswich, and while he is fit enough for the bench, Guardiola suggests he is not yet fully up to speed.
“Of course he was late and after still arrived with some little niggles and problems,” he said. “Rico was playing really good. With the pre-season, the rhythm is higher [with Rico] because [Walker] was on holidays and that’s why he’s in the position.”

Luke Shaw
The left-back was struck down by a calf injury in pre-season and he is yet to recover. Shaw is not expected to be back in United’s starting line-up until after the international break. Victor Lindelof, Leny Yoro, Rasmus Hojlund and Tyrell Malacia are also on the injury list.
Richarlison
Tottenham’s Brazilian forward could find minutes hard to come by this season due to the arrival of Solanke. And his bid to force his way into Postecoglou’s plans while Solanke is out has been hampered by a training ground injury. The Spurs boss confirmed in his press conference that Richarlison will miss ‘the next few weeks’.
Rodri
City have coped well without their midfield anchor during the first two games of the campaign. Rodri suffered a hamstring issue at Euro 2024 and returned late for pre-season training, but he has been back on the grass this week and Guardiola claims he is ‘much better’.
Mason Mount
Mount’s injury woes have ramped up since signing for United last summer, and his latest setback – a muscle injury – is set to keep him out of Liverpool’s visit to Old Trafford on Sunday.
