Porro (hamstring) is eyeing a return against Arsenal on Feb. 22, according to manager Thomas Frank. "That could be a dream scenario, and it just could happen. We will know a little bit more when we get closer - but it's in that bracket."

Devenny is out for the next three to four weeks due to a ruptured ligament in his ankle, according to manager Oliver Galsner. "Justin, sometimes when you are in this situation, things happen that never happen, so we had a finishing exercise and he strikes the ball and then twists his ankle and partly ruptures his ligament in the ankle, so he will be out for three to four weeks. That's the prognosis and so he also is not available."

Sosa has a minor muscle injury and is out for Sunday's match against Nottingham Forest, according to manager Oliver Glasner. "Borna has a minor muscle injury, so he should train with us next week, but he's not available."

Clyne (groin) is an option for Sunday's match against Nottingham Forest, according to manager Oliver Gasner. "Nathaniel is back in the squad tomorrow."

Kamada (hamstring) is eyeing a return against Brighton, according to manager Oliver Glasner. "It looks like today or tomorrow we're doing a re-scan again, and if it looks quite good, he's more and more integrated, so the plan is that he has a full training week and should be available for Brighton if the scan is more or less okay - it won't be perfect, but okay."

Chukwueze is uncertain to play Sunday against Manchester United due to the passing of his mother, manager Marco Silva told media during Friday's press conference. "We are supporting Chukwueze, it's his decision," Silva said.

Traore (knee) is expected to be sidelined for the next three weeks, manager Regis Le Bris told media during Friday's press conference. "[Bertrand] Traore needs probably three weeks to get back. He has been a miss because he is very experienced, and it is a demanding position. He has the efficiency to attack and defend."

Savona (knee) won't be involved in Sunday's contest against Crystal Palace, but there's no clarity on how long he'll be sidelined for, according to manager Sean Dyche. "It's just a settling period for him now, over the next five to seven days," Dyche said. "We will then make another decision on whether it is going to need an intervention or not - nothing too drastic but it will keep him out for a bit of time. We will know more in the next week."

Muniz (hamstring) is nearing a return to action after partially training this week, according to manager Marco Silva, per Jack Kelly of Fullhamish. "Rodrigo Muniz is already around the team, in some drills with the team. This week is probably going to be too soon, probably next week we're going to have good news about him as well."

Colwill (knee) could return before the end of the campaign, according to manager Liam Rosenior. "Yes, he could [be back before the end of the season,] but it's step by step, and I don't want to make promises that I can't keep. At the moment, Levi's is in a really good place. He's on the right track, but I don't want to put pressure on him. I spoke to Levi this morning. He's working so hard, and what a professional he is. It's been brilliant to see him back on the pitch running. He's itching to get back, but we need to make sure he feels 100 per cent perfect."

Lavia (quadriceps) is close to a return, according to manager Liam Rosenior. "Romeo is in a really good place, and we just have to make sure this last stage of his rehab is really, really good."

Adarabioyo (hamstring) is training individually, according to manager Liam Rosenior. "Tosin was back out on the pitch today doing his individual rehab."

Xhaka (ankle) is set for assessment in the next week and is likely to miss around three more weeks, according to manager Regis Le Bris."Granit is doing well. We will assess him in the next week, but it will probably be three more weeks."

Van de Ven (undisclosed) is a late call for Sunday's match against Manchester City, according to manager Thomas Frank. "Micky is a minor one. It will be touch and go for Sunday, we're hoping. He was on the pitch yesterday, on the pitch today. So, hopeful (he can play against Manchester City), but it's touch and go."

Barkley (knee) has trained with his teammates and could be in the squad Sunday to face Brentford, according to manager Unai Emery. "Ross Barkley is coming back, training with us. Today, normal training with the group, and maybe we can include him in the squad."

Watkins (hamstring) is a late call for Sunday's match against Brentford, according to manager Unai Emery. "Watkins, we will see tomorrow. Today he had a scan, and it's not a clear injury. He was tired yesterday, and the scan is not giving us bad information. We will see tomorrow if he's not feeling comfortable or if he's feeling comfortable to decide to be with us on Sunday."

Mateta is not going to be in the squad to face Nottingham Forest, according to manager Oliver Glasner. "We will talk about things we can confirm. I can confirm JP will not be in the matchday squad, but it is nothing to do right now with the transfers. He is not in the place. To play makes no sense. We have to protect the team and I have to protect him. That is why he will not travel with us to Nottingham."

Krejci is doubtful for Saturday's match against Bournemouth due to illness, according to manager Rob Edwards.

Gomes (hamstring) has trained individually for the past week, according to manager Rob Edwards.

Bellegarde (hamstring) is an option for Saturday's match against Bournemoith, according to manager Rob Edwards.

Dorgu (hamstring) is set to miss weeks of action after a serious injury was confirmed, according to manager Michael Carrick. "Pat is going to be out for a period of time. We're still working through how long that's going to be. He's had such a good couple of weeks and we weren't sure if it was cramp or something more serious, but it looks more serious. Whether it's a few weeks or more, we're going to have to wait and see. Unfortunately, it's something you have to work through in football."

Zrikzee (strain) is back in training and nearing a return, according to manager Michael Carrick. "Josh is back training this week, which is good news. It's the first time he's trained since I've been here, so it's great to have him back. Josh has just been trying to work and get fit around the group. He trained yesterday for the first time and that's as far as it goes with me and Josh. I'm looking forward to working with him and nothing more needs to be said."
