OUT
Injury Wrist
Est. Return 10/18/2025
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Cirkin took the starting job in the Championship last season and never gave it up, making 39 appearances (33 starts) and scoring three times with two assists. He ended the season with an injured wrist, something that will keep him out the first few weeks of the new season. He's set to be the starting left-back when healthy, but his offensive production is likely to struggle in the top flight. He created just 18 chances with seven shots on target last season, numbers that will only get worse in the Premier League with fewer clean sheets.
Set for more time off
Cirkin (wrist) will need more time to recover from his injury, coach Regis Le Bris said in the press conference, according to the Northern Echo. "It's a bit longer than expected. For Dennis, we have to wait a bit. Things didn't heal properly after his wrist injury, and he has been complaining of his knee as well. He needs to rest a bit. We have decided to step back really. We have decided to give him a real period of rest so that he can reset and get ready to reconnect with the squad. That will give him the best chance of getting back to a point where he can perform."
ANALYSIS
Cirkin is set for the sidelines even longer after the medical staff decided to give him a real period of rest. The defender is still dealing with his wrist injury and complaining of his knee, as well. The timeline for his return in uncertain and will depend on his recovery.
