Gestede (groin) returned to training this week and could play Sunday against Arsenal.

Gestede did not play last weekend due to his injury, but his return to training could lead to a start against a Gunners defense that will be without Per Mertesacker due to injury.

Gestede (groin) is out Saturday against Newcastle.

Gestede was considered a serious doubt to be available, so it's not overly surprising that he failed to make the match day squad. Scott Sinclair will partner with Jordan Ayew up front.

Gestede (groin) is a "serious doubt" for Saturday's match against Newcastle.

The big center forward is a bit of a one-trick pony, but does provide something of a goal-scoring punch, as he's second on the team with five goals. If he can't go, it will leave just Jordan Ayew as players who have scored more than two goals on the season, up front.

Gestede headed the consolation home on two shots (one on target) in 25 minutes off the bench in Tuesday's 3-1 loss to Everton.

Gestede ties up Jordan Ayew, with five, as the team-leading scorer. He's played well most of the time he's been on the field but, the problem is that he doesn't get enough playing time (only 10 starts from 24 Premier League appearances) to warrant a serious fantasy consideration. The main reason for that was a stretch of 15 games, in the mid-stages of the season, without a goal. Now, on the other hand however, the striker has two goals and an assist in his last four Premier League games all off the bench. May be that would give him a boost and a starting spot on the Saturday's visit to the Etihad.

Gestede (hamstring) is available off the bench Saturday against Stoke City.

Gestede has been out for a few weeks, so it's not surprising that he's unable to start in his return. Gabriel Agbonlahor will lead the line Saturday.

Gestede has been deemed fit for Saturday's match versus Stoke after recovering from a hamstring injury.

The striker has been out since exiting in the second half of Aston Villa's away match versus West Brom, but the break allowed him adequate time to heal.Gestede could find himself immediately inserted into the lineup, as Jordan Ayew will be suspended for the match while Gabriel Agbonlahor is dealing with an injury.

Gestede (hamstring) is not in the 18-man squad to face Liverpool on Sunday.

Gestede has found regular playing time hard to come by this season, and his absence will ensure Gabriel Agbonlahor remains in the starting XI.
