OUT
Injury Undisclosed
Est. Return 9/13/2025
Won't play in Community Shield
Franca (undisclosed) is out due to injury and won't face Liverpool in the Community Shield on Sunday, manager Oliver Glasner told media in Friday's pre-match press conference. "Franca is unfortunately injured again, so he's out. He missed the whole pre-season."
ANALYSIS
Franca spent most of the 2024/25 season sidelined due to multiple injuries, and he was limited to only 52 minutes of Premier League action. Given that he missed the whole pre-season, he will probably need a few weeks to ramp up before being ready to play once he's deemed ready to return. All signs point to him being sidelined for several weeks before he can be an option for Glasner.

Training in full
Franca (groin) trained in full ahead of Sunday's trip to Manchester United, according to manager Oliver Glasner. "But we have very positive news: [Adam] Wharton and [Matheus] França trained with us the whole week without any issues, and we're thinking both will in the squad because they were very impressive in training, and it will also lift their confidence and mood after being out for several weeks."
