Why would Francis not be red flagged? It could make a difference between a drop and no drop....

Simon Francis is "progressing well and we're happy with how he's looking" but the #AFCB skipper won't be back before the international break

Vardy is fine

Where did you hear Vardy was fine?

Thanks - both Vardy and Firmino have tough fixtures both sides of the international break, so much of a muchness as to who delivers.

Longer term Vardy may be the value, although Firmino holding on to pens will make it a difficult pick.

Eddie Howe to the rescue - Francis goes from -95% to -50%

2 yellows for holebas tonight. Ban incoming. He loves the old yellow cards

Soooooooooo apparently Phil Jones didn't train today ........there are quite a few photos from training on website and he isn't in any of them either
Wouldn't be like him to pick up an injury out of the blue like that though

Obviously await updates

Transferred him in for Darmian yesterday. I will be impossibly angry if he's injured again

Brought him in for the upcoming gameweek knowing full well his injury record. What a disastrous signing this could turn out to be.

It could be nothing but I would only ever sign him one minute before deadline just in case !

So what you're saying here is ye jinxed him?!? :eek: Hopefully he's not injured but it's Phil Jones so I wouldn't hold out much hope. Hopefully it's not injury and there is a more innocent explanation

Walters off injured with an ankle injury at halftime.

Walters has been a huge disappointment so far.

TAA hobbled off in the second half tonight as well

Zlatan targeting an early November return !

Mr. Guappa

Benitez saying that Lejeune "has a chance" for the weekend, and will be definitely back after the international break.

I had Lejeune -> Trippier pencilled in for this week, but injury and Aurier rumours have me second guessing Trippier, so I could roll with Lejeune and have Ben Mee in reserve.

Suggestion that Trent Alexander-Arnold is a doubt for Sunday. Liverpool press conference starts around 12pm. #LFC

Eden Hazard is in the Belgium squad for the games against Gibraltar & Greece, but he'll undergo a check-up on Monday. #CFC https://t.co/9u7HcnLPH8

FdB: Ruben has a groin injury and is out for this week. Wilf is improving, but he's still in recovery.

Looks like Rose will never be fit.
Bavies looking a secure option at the moment.

And then there were 10.

Players with any chance of gametime for shineon this weekend

Any update on fitness status of Trippier? And I assume Jones is OK for this weekend?

Cartman78

Walters red flagged now...out until 10th September.

Bad news for Ireland, Burnley and all us plebs who have him on FPL.

Scan revleaed it was a better outcome that expected according to Dyche, so he mighntn't be out for Ireland (Probably is though)

I'm taking his red flag as good news, as it reduces his chances of dropping to 5.4 on me before tomorrow.

But yeah, I've been badly caught out owning him.:rolleyes:

Hogey007

Hazard played about 70 mins for Chelsea under 23 squad v Everton tonight. Been included in Belgium squad too so should be ok for next gameweek provided he comes through internationals ok.

Only thing I could find was this.
"No update on Kieran Trippier who should recover from the minor knock he picked up six days ago." From Rotoworld, linked by Dinnery.

Anyone followed Spurs presser?

@samuelluckhurst: Mourinho admits Phil Jones has been playing with an injury, despite his excellent form #mufc http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/man-utd-news-fixtures-mourinho-13535774

@samuelluckhurst: Mourinho said Jones needs 'a lot of care' from #mufc staff. Noticeable he was absent during televised training session in midweek.

@FFScout: Reports from Egyptian camp dismiss the suggestion that Mo Salah has suffered an injury while on international duty http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/mohamed-salah-injury-fears-allayed-13565722
