FPL Gameweek 29 Team News: Live Injury Updates and Haaland's Status
Fantasy managers are eagerly awaiting updates on key players as Gameweek 29 approaches. Erling Haaland (£14.7m), Nico O'Reilly (£5.1m), and Harry Wilson (£6.0m) are among those in the spotlight. Seven Premier League managers will face the media on Tuesday, following an 11-manager lineup on Monday.
However, Crystal Palace's Oliver Glasner and Tottenham Hotspur's Igor Tudor might not be available until Wednesday, after the Gameweek 29 deadline, as they face each other on Thursday night.
Here's a breakdown of the key team news from Tuesday's press conferences:
Manchester City
Pep Guardiola provided no definitive news on Haaland (knee) and O'Reilly (ankle), who missed the Leeds United match. Guardiola stated, 'Haaland feels much better, but we didn't train yesterday. We'll decide today after training.' Josko Gvardiol (leg) and Mateo Kovacic (ankle) remain sidelined.
Newcastle United
Eddie Howe confirmed that Jacob Ramsey has recovered from his half-time substitution on Saturday. However, Nick Woltemade is ill and hasn't trained in recent days. Howe said, 'We'll assess Woltemade's availability, giving him every chance.' Tino Livramento (hamstring) is ahead of schedule but might not be ready for this match.
Brighton and Hove Albion
Fabian Hurzeler expressed confidence in Yasin Ayari (shoulder) being available on Wednesday after his return to training. He said, 'Ayari trained yesterday, and I'm confident he'll be an option for tomorrow.' Long-term absentees Adam Webster (knee) and Stefanos Tzimas (knee) remain out. Brighton won't field the same starting XI against Arsenal, with veterans Danny Welbeck and James Milner potentially making way for fresh legs and energy.
Yankuba Minteh's game time is also a topic of discussion, as he hasn't started a league game this year. Hurzeler emphasized the importance of competition and the need for players to show their commitment through hard work and performance in training.
Stay tuned for more updates as the press conferences unfold, providing crucial insights for Fantasy Premier League managers.
