Martin Ødegaard - Pushing to be back for Southampton, Arteta to make a final call this week.
Jurrien Timber - Also aiming to be back for Southampton. Arteta press conference body language experts needed.
Declan Rice - My understanding was he has been carrying a knock pre-City. Sent home on the advice of England medical staff. Would not be shocked if he is rested this weekend.
Bukayo Saka - Red zone fatigue, this rest has come at the perfect time. Sent home on the advice of England medical staff. Wait to see how he trains this week before Arteta makes a call for this weekend.
Noni Madueke - Feared the worst but thankfully the injury is described as minor after assessments. Im told he is aiming for Sporting / Bournemouth
Martin Zubimendi - Minor knee discomfort. Assessed by Spain medics and sent home for recovery. Another one I wont be shocked if he is rested again.
Piero Hincapie - Im told, its a minor knock and the player is taking the precautions to rest and recovery on the advice of Ecuador medical staff.
Eberechi Eze - Player is still in rehab for a lower leg injury. There is some optimism he could return earlier than the original time line but one to monitor once he trains on grass again.
Max Dowman - Im told he was sent home from his P.E lesson by Steve the supply teacher. The Overlap could possibly do a whole segment on it, who knows?
