🏰 Newcastle

📢 Eddie Howe on Wilson: "We don't believe his injury to be serious and we're hopeful he'll only be out for a couple of weeks.

"I back Callum 100 per cent. I've known him a long time and I've never met someone with a better..."

#fpl #gw4 #nufc #WolNew #fantasypl

📢 Howe on Wilson: "...attitude. I back him and his body. He's such an important part of our future and this season he's already shown that with the goals that he's scored - the two goals he's scored have been of the highest level..."

#fpl #gw4 #nufc #WolNew #fantasypl

📢 Howe on Wilson: "...I don't doubt Callum for a second."

On team news: "We hope Dan Burn and Ryan Fraser will be available. Jamaal Lascelles should be fine.

"Emil Krafth has a knee problem but until the scan, it's difficult to know..."

#fpl #gw4 #nufc #WolNew #fantasypl

📢 Howe on Krafth: "...what the extent of the injury is. Currently it doesn't look too good, so that's a real shame for Emil and for us."

#fpl #gw4 #nufc #WolNew #fantasypl

📢 Howe on Alexander Isak: "It's not completed. We hope to get it done. Yes, fingers crossed [that Isak will be available to face Wolves on Sunday].

"There's no guarantee with these things because we're in other people's hands but..."

#fpl #gw4 #nufc #WolNew #fantasypl

📢 Howe on Isak: "...hopefully. He will probably need to train with us in the next two days to be available to play...we're very keen to see him get involved as quickly as possible."

#fpl #gw4 #nufc #WolNew #fantasypl

📘 Everton

📢 Frank Lampard on team news: "Dominic Calvert-Lewin will train next week. I think he is slightly ahead of schedule.

"We must be calm, because we can’t push him at this stage. He is working really hard and with great focus..."

#fpl #gw4 #efc #BreEve #fantasypl

📢 Lampard on Calvert-Lewin: "...out on the grass. If he trains in the middle of next week, will it make him available for Liverpool? That'll be tough. But hopefully we can start looking at the games after that, if all goes according to plan."

#fpl #gw4 #efc #BreEve #fantasypl

📢 Lampard on team news: "Tom Davies we hope is in contention [for the Brentford match]. He had a small feeling in his groin in the warm-up before Fleetwood.

"He pulled out of that game but hopefully he’s in the squad for Saturday..."

#fpl #gw4 #efc #BreEve #fantasypl

📢 Lampard on team news: "...Abdoulaye Doucoure is injured. Other than that, we’re pretty much where we were going into the Fleetwood game.

"We got some good minutes into some players [including Seamus Coleman] on Tuesday, either those..."

#fpl #gw4 #efc #BreEve #fantasypl

📢 Lampard on team news: "...returning from injury or lacking fitness and game time, so that was a big bonus."

#fpl #gw4 #efc #BreEve #fantasypl

#fpl #gw4 #afc #ArsFul #fantasypl

#fpl #gw4 #mcfc #MciCry #fantasypl

🏮 Man Utd

📢 Erik ten Hag on team news: "Casemiro is fit. He did all the training sessions. He trained first individually and the last days, he trained with the team.

#fpl #gw4 #mufc #SouMun #fantasypl

📢 Ten Hag on Martial: "...on his Achilles, out of the [Liverpool] game, so we have to wait.

"I cannot tell a prognosis, how long it takes. I hope he will be available for the next game [against Leicester]."

#fpl #gw4 #mufc #SouMun #fantasypl

🐖 Fulham

📢 Marco Silva on team news: "We have to check the situation of [Neeskens] Kebano. It is too soon to give you 100 per cent confirmation on him. [It is] day by day to see if he's out of the game. All the rest are the same."

#fpl #gw4 #ffc #ArsFul #fantasypl

🐦 Liverpool

📢 Jurgen Klopp on injuries: "This weekend probably not but after that Joel [Matip], Curtis [Jones], Thiago is not too far away, Diogo [Jota] is getting closer, Caoimhin [Kelleher] will be in training, I think, early next week..."

#fpl #gw4 #lfc #LivBou #fantasypl

📢 Klopp on injuries: "...as well. Positive news but I don’t think anybody will be ready for tomorrow.

"Naby [Keita] will not be ready for the weekend. It's a muscle and it's not 100 per cent clear but [he] will not be in for the next week."

#fpl #gw4 #lfc #LivBou #fantasypl

🔮 Crystal Palace

📢 Patrick Vieira on team news: "Macca [James McArthur] and Tonks [James Tomkins] will be out, [along] with Nathan [Ferguson]. The other guys did team training this morning."

#fpl #gw4 #cpfc #MciCry #fantasypl

🇮🇹 Spurs

📢 Antonio Conte on team news: "About Cuti [Cristian Romero], Cuti's recovery is going very well. I think for the next game against West Ham, he should be available.

"I think at the start of next week, like Skippy [Oliver Skipp]..."

#fpl #gw4 #thfc #NfoTot #fantasypl

📢 Conte on team news: "...[Romero will] start to have the training session with the rest of the team but for this game, they are not available. I have to check a couple of situations, Lucas [Moura] and [Bryan] Gil because today [Friday]..."

#fpl #gw4 #thfc #NfoTot #fantasypl

📢 Conte on team news: "...they didn't have a training session with us. We have tomorrow to make the right decision for both players [Moura and Gil]."

#fpl #gw4 #thfc #NfoTot #fantasypl

📢 Conte on Heung-min Son: "You know very well we're talking about a really, really important player for me and for the club.

"For sure, I think Sonny in the last three games had chances to score but there's a moment where you're a bit..."

#fpl #gw4 #thfc #NfoTot #fantasypl

📢 Conte on Son: "...lucky or a bit unlucky. I think no problem with Sonny's performance - his attitude and commitment are always up very high.

"I'm happy with his performance and I don't see any problems with him. You know very well when..."

#fpl #gw4 #thfc #NfoTot #fantasypl

📢 Conte on Son: "...you're a striker you like to score and when you score and win, you're happy. But at the same time, we always have to put the club winning before the interests of every single player..."

#fpl #gw4 #thfc #NfoTot #fantasypl

📢 Conte on Son: "...but it's not a problem. I repeat, he's an important player, last season he scored 23 goals…no problem. No. I'm sure when he goes to score [his first league goal this season], he will gain the right confidence."

#fpl #gw4 #thfc #NfoTot #fantasypl

📢 Conte on schedule: "To play one game every seven days is one thing. To play games every three days is totally different.

"This is the period where you understand which team, which squad are really good to be competitive.."

#fpl #gw4 #thfc #NfoTot #fantasypl

📢 Conte on schedule: "...for many situations, to play every three days, for injuries, because players start to be tired & you have to make rotations. It's the right moment to understand if your squad's depth is good and is the quality right."

#fpl #gw4 #thfc #NfoTot #fantasypl

🌉 Chelsea

📢 Thomas Tuchel on N'Golo Kante: "We are talking about four weeks plus [out injured]. I told you at the end of last season, he is our key player normally.

"He gives something to our team that no other player in the world can..."

#fpl #gw4 #cfc #CheLei #fantasypl

📢 Tuchel on Kante: "...give to any other team. That makes him a key player. If your key player is out, it’s a situation you don’t like but have to deal with. It has huge influence.

"If we build another system [without Kante], I don’t know..."

#fpl #gw4 #cfc #CheLei #fantasypl

📢 Tuchel on Kante: "...we have trust in our players. It will maybe be the same system. We played many games, unfortunately, without him in the same structure.

"It will be slightly different because every player is a bit different. That is..."

#fpl #gw4 #cfc #CheLei #fantasypl

📢 Tuchel on Kante: "...the challenge to adapt to this; use different players differently. To change completely because N’Golo is not there, I don’t think so."

#fpl #gw4 #cfc #CheLei #fantasypl

📢 Tuchel on Mateo Kovacic: "He’s back in the group. N’Golo is the only one that did not train now this week.

"So, everybody is back in training. Kova is back in the group and ready to play [around] 20 minutes [against Leicester]..."

#fpl #gw4 #cfc #CheLei #fantasypl

📢 Tuchel on Kovacic: "...we miss him as a personality, his experience and his quality. It’s maybe 20 minutes at the moment.

"Was his first training week without reaction in the knee so we cannot rush things, otherwise we will just sabotage..."

#fpl #gw4 #cfc #CheLei #fantasypl

📢 Tuchel on Kovacic: "...our own plans with him. We need him long term. It’s good to have him back and as an option on the bench."

#fpl #gw4 #cfc #CheLei #fantasypl

🔨 West Ham

📢 David Moyes on team news: "We're getting people back fit. I don't think we've picked up any issues from our midweek encounter so hopefully we’ll all be ready to go again."

#fpl #gw4 #whufc #AvlWhu #fantasypl

🐺 Wolves

📢 Bruno Lage on team news: "We have everyone fit. Everyone is training. Connor Ronan played for the under-21s and is tired, so cannot be in the squad but everyone else is fit.

"There were good signals in those two performances..."

#fpl #gw4 #wwfc #WolNew #fantasypl

📢 Lage on team news: "...performances [against Spurs and Preston], good signals in the players who didn’t do the pre-season.

"They are coming back and playing 60 minutes in a good level - [Nelson] Semedo, Joao [Moutinho], Raul [Jimenez]..."

#fpl #gw4 #wwfc #WolNew #fantasypl

📢 Lage on team news: "...and Adama [Traore]. [And] players who just arrived in one week are also giving good signals; [Goncalo] Guedes and Matheus [Nunes]. And even Jose [Sa], he didn’t do the pre-season and now he’s recovered to his level..."

#fpl #gw4 #wwfc #WolNew #fantasypl

📢 Lage on team news: "...Raul [Jimenez] is back and we missed him. Now it's a question of time and I am so confident about the team we are building."

#fpl #gw4 #wwfc #WolNew #fantasypl

☔️ Aston Villa

#fpl #gw4 #avfc #AvlWhu #fantasypl

📢 Gerrard on team news: "...we’ve obviously got tomorrow’s session to go prior to the game, so fingers crossed we should be healthy."

#fpl #gw4 #avfc #AvlWhu #fantasypl

#fpl #gw4 #nffc #NfoTot #fantasypl

📢 Cooper on team news: "...we’ll see where he’s at for the weekend. We want to give him every opportunity.

"Apart from that, we’re as we were. The long-term injuries are progressing but miles off being ready to feature for us."
