Ben Gibson
32-Year-Old
Stoke City
The Championship
Dealing with back issue
Gibson sustained a back injury that has kept him out of training ahead of Sunday's matchup with Tottenham. Manager Dean Smith told reporters, "Gibson is struggling with a back injury and hasn't trained since last week. He might train tomorrow."
ANALYSIS
Gibson made his first start in the club's last five contests versus Wolves on Sunday, so he is far from a lock for the starting XI even when fit. Even if he does start, the central defender's value comes primarily from defensive stats, he hasn't scored an EPL goal since 2018-19 with Burnley, so fantasy players shouldn't be expecting him to produce in the final third.
