Football News, Notes & Injuries

Havertz (knee) has returned to full training ahead of Tuesday's clash versus Aston Villa.

Grealish (illness) is questionable for Tuesday's match against Nottingham Forest, according to manager David Moyes. "There's a chance [players are back for the game], so we'll hope so. We'll wait and see."

March (knee) has begun to train with the U21s and is close to integrating into the team, according to manager Fabian Hurzeler. "Good. He's doing some training sessions with our U21s to get used to the intensity and then step by step he should be reintegrated into our team."

Mitoma (illness) is an option for Tuesday's match against West Ham, according to manager Fabian Hurzeler. "Kaoru will be back."

Pope is a late call for Tuesday's match against Burnley due to an illness, according to manager Eddie Howe. "Nick had really limited training time for (the Manchester United) game. He declared himself fit and then was subsequently ill right before kick-off and wasn't feeling great, so it was probably fortunate that he wasn't playing (on Boxing Day). I'll take a view from the training that I see, although it's been limited so far. I need to see that Nick's back to his very best - and Aaron's played well in his absence, so I'll make a call."

Esteve (undisclosed) is questionable for Tuesday's match against Newcastle, according to manager Scott Parker. "Maxime is close, we'll see where he's at ahead of the game, but hopefully he'll be in the frame for a return. We're going to need everybody to be ready to play their part over the coming days and weeks."

Fernandes (hamstring) is hoping to train soon, but Ruben Amorim isn't confident when that will happen. "Bruno is already saying that he needs to train [laughs], but we don't know. There is no chance he is going to play against Wolves, you can write that."

Hato is doubtful for Tuesday's match against Bournemouth after missing Saturday's 2-1 loss to Aston Villa, according to manager Enzo Maresca. "For Bournemouth, no, I don't think [he will be ready to feature]."

Mainoo (calf) is going to begin to train again, according to manager Ruben Amorim. "Kobbie is going to start on the pitch, also, so we will see."

Mount (undisclosed) is out for Tuesday's match against Wolves, according to manager Ruben Amorim.

Richards (ankle) is questionable for Thursday's match against Fulham, according to manager Oliver Glasner, per Sam Tabuteau of The Standard. "We don't know if he's available for Fulham, but once again, his foot got stitched, it's swollen, it goes in the right direction, but you have to wear a boot and kick a ball, and when you have the wound right there, it's very, very painful. So again, it can be that he misses Fulham, it can be that he is available."
