Football News, Notes & Injuries

Kovacic was not involved in Saturday's 1-0 FA Cup loss to Crystal Palace due to his fitness levels, accoridng to manager Pep Guardiola, per Freddie Pye of the City Xtra. "He doesn't feel perfect. Tuesday, we have a game and I don't want to take a risk."

Hwang (undisclosed) was back in training this week and is questionable for Tuesday's match against Crystal Palace, accoridng to Molineux News.

Doyle has been dealt a "small problem" heading into Tuesday's match against Crystal Palace, accoridng to manager Vitor Pereira.

Kayode still doesn't know the extent of his injury from Sunday's 2-3 loss to Fulham, accoridng to manager Thomas Frank, per Sam Tabuteau of the Hounslow Herald.

Guehi (concussion) is out for Tuesday's match against Wolves and is questionable to return for their season finale against Liverpool, accoridng to manager Olivier Glasner. Marc will definitely miss [Tuesday's] game. Let's see, maybe for Liverpool."

Wharton (concussion) won't return this season, according to manager Olivier Glasner. "Adam will also miss the Liverpool game - he had a concussion at the end."

Scott (jaw) has undergone successful surgery and has received a mask for his jaw but is still unlikely to return this season, accoridng to manager Andoni Iraola. "With Alex, we really don't know. He has already gone to a place where they design a mask with everything, so he can take the risks. It will depend on how comfortable he is with this. The surgery went really well, he looks good, and he is doing his stuff. I think it's almost impossible he plays Sunday, but I don't want to rule him out. He tries the mask, but I think it is going to be very difficult."

Burgess missed Sunday's 2-0 loss to Leicester City due to a knock, accoridng to manager Kieran McKenna, per Stuart Watson of the East Anglian Daily Times. "He's got a little niggle - his hamstring - so that's why he missed out today. We'll see how he is for next week."

Rodri (knee) is improving day by day and could make the squad for Tuesday's clash against Bournemouth, according to coach Pep Guardiola in the press conference. "We'll see. Some players are better. Rodri is even better day by day."

Isak underwent scans on Sunday morning for a groin injury he felt in training on Saturday and it was clear he couldn't play against Arsenal. It is likely a setback from a previous injury that will not require surgery, coach Eddie Howe said in a press conference, according to Chronicle Live. "He only felt pain after training, he'd felt fine during training and it was just a bit of stiffness really. So he went for a scan this morning purely a precaution. Then it became obvious that he was not going to be fit to play. I don't know. A lot depends on how he will react in the next few days. He has had a couple of groin injuries either side, this is one he had earlier in the season. I don't think it is a surgery issue. It's not something that needs mending. It is certainly something that needs looking at as to why he's getting groin complaints. But yeah it is definitely not a surgery issue it's what is he doing to strengthen that area, which we will look at and focus on."

Moore was forced off in Friday's 2-0 loss against Aston Villa due to fatigue, coach Ange Postecoglou said in a press conference. "I think Mikey was okay. It was fatigue as much as anything else. He hasn't played that sort of amount of minutes before."

Coleman felt his thigh in the first half and was forced off in the 18th minute of Sunday's 2-0 victory over Southampton, coach David Moyes said in a press conference. "He's really disappointed. He felt his thigh in the first half a little bit, which was really disappointing. Seamus has been a great servant and certainly deserved to start the game today."

Rashford (hamstring) is still dealing with his injury and won't return this season since he is loan-locked for the final game of the season against Manchester United on Sunday.
