FPL Gameweek 25: Wednesday Injury Updates and Team News
The press conferences for Gameweek 25 began early Wednesday, with managers Daniel Farke of Leeds United and Sean Dyche of Nottingham Forest addressing the media. Due to their upcoming match on Friday, both coaches provided updates on player injuries and team news. Updates from the 18 other Premier League managers will follow on Thursday and Friday.
Key Injury Updates for Gameweek 25
Leeds United
Leeds United will likely be without midfielder Anton Stach for Gameweeks 25 and 26. He is currently dealing with a hip issue. Farke indicated that Stach could be sidelined for 10 to 14 days. On his condition, Farke commented:
- “The only negative news is that Anton Stach is struggling with some hip problems after the last gameday.”
- “It looks that he’s likely to miss the game on Friday and also the Chelsea game.”
In addition, forward Lukas Nmecha is expected to miss out due to hamstring issues, while Jaka Bijol is back in training after recovering from a hamstring injury. Farke shared:
- “Jaka Bijol is back in team training. We have to wait how his body reacts.”
- “James Justin is also back in training after a toe injury, which is good news.”
Lastly, Daniel James has returned to full training after being absent since late November. However, it appears that new loanee Facundo Buonanotte is not yet in contention for the starting lineup.
Nottingham Forest
Nottingham Forest may face challenges as key players Matz Sels and Callum Hudson-Odoi are doubts for the match against Leeds. Both players sustained injuries during the last game. Dyche mentioned:
- “Matz is still a bit sore. We are awaiting further advice.”
- “Callum has got a painful shoulder knock. We will make a decision in the next 36 hours.”
Additionally, Nicolo Savona, Chris Wood, and John Victor remain on the injury list. Neco Williams will also miss the upcoming match due to a suspension for a handball. This could give Luca Netz, the recent signing, an opportunity to feature in the starting lineup after just joining the squad.
As teams prepare for Gameweek 25, keeping an eye on these injuries and updates will be crucial for fans and fantasy league players alike.
