Kevin Danso’s return date remains unknown, while Destiny Udogie continues to nurse a hamstring problem after picking up a knock last time out. Wilson Odobert has done his ACL and is also unavailable for this encounter.
Richarlison returned to training this week, although Pedro Porro’s status is unknown. Cristian Romero is still suspended following his red card against Manchester United.
Speaking on the fitness of his current squad, Igor Tudor revealed that Dominic Solanke struggled with a throat problem this week, but has been back in training for two days. Unfortunately, no other injury returnees are expected this week, although some could be back in training next week.
When asked if any injured players would return vs Arsenal, Tudor said (Football London): “Probably no, Solanke has some problem with his throat, but he made two days training. All the others, some are next week.”
