England : Premier League injured & suspended list (with statistics)

Chelsea captain John Terry will not feature in Sunday's match against Manchester United. Terry missed Tuesday's 1-1 draw with Swansea City with a knee problem and is still struggling to maintain full fitness for this weekend's clash.

Terry hit the headlines again on Friday as the FA announced their decision to strip him of the England captaincy with the centre-back due to stand trial nine days after Euro 2012 for racial abuse allegations. The defender has denied the charge but the FA chose to act now to avoid unnecessary speculation in the build up to the European Championships.

Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has confirmed that Anders Lindegaard will miss up to six weeks with an ankle injury. David de Gea is expected to resume duties in goal, if fit for Sunday's clash at Chelsea. Ferguson told reporters: "De Gea should be fit. It looks like Lindegaard will be out for at least four weeks, maybe even five or six. It's ankle ligaments. Ben Amos has been looking for his opportunity for quite a while and we wondered about sending him out of loan, it's not easy when you're in Europe as you need three keepers and he did very well the other night. We have Tomasz Kuszczak as well but his contract is up in the summer and he doesn't want to sign another."

Chelsea midfielder Ramires is facing a lengthy spell on the sidelines with a medial knee ligament injury after being forced off in FA Cup win over Queens Park Rangers. "It looks like a medial knee ligament injury," coach Andre Villas-Boas said. "It is not so bad in terms of the worst knee injuries but he'll have the MRI scan tomorrow and we'll know the full extent and I think hopefully he is going to avoid an operation. We have to know the extent of the ligament injury and eventually with the treatment and results we have been having medically, we could be looking at a four-week period."

Mario Balotelli faces a four-match ban after being charged by the English Football Association with violent conduct for appearing to stomp on Scott Parker's head during City's 3-2 win against Tottenham at the weekend. Referee Howard Webb reviewed the incident and told disciplinary officials he would have issued the Italian City striker with a red card had he seen it clearly. City are considering whether to appeal the ban, but assistant coach David Platt has intimated the club are unlikely to challenge the decision, with a failed appeal risking an extended ban.

Manchester United midfielder Darren Fletcher will not play again this season, Sir Alex Ferguson confirmed at press conference. Fletcher has not featured for United since November and, although he was an unused substitute against Basel in December, it later emerged that he was suffering from a chronic bowel complaint. Recent reports revealed that Fletcher could be well on the road to recovery faster than United had expected, but speaking before trip to the Emirates, Sir Alex moved to dismiss such talk. "I don't expect Fletcher to come back," he said. "Darren will be out for the season."

Arsenal's Thierry Henry and Thomas Vermaelen face late fitness tests ahead of Sunday's clash with Manchester United, while Mikel Arteta will not feature. "At the moment I don't think he (Vermaelen) will make it for Sunday," manager Arsene Wenger said about the Belgian defender who has been out since New Year's Eve. "Henry will have a test on Saturday. He has a calf problem. Arteta has no chance. The earliest for him is Aston Villa."

Manchester United faced more injury woes with manager Alex Ferguson saying defenders Chris Smalling and Phil Jones would undergo late fitness tests before the match at home to Bolton Wanderers. The champions' season has been disrupted by a steady stream of injuries, with centre back Nemanja Vidic out for the season and midfielder Darren Fletcher taking an extended break from the game with a bowel condition. Others sidelined include midfielder Tom Cleverley, winger Ashley Young and striker Michael Owen.

Everton defender Phil Jagielka has been ruled out for up to six weeks with a knee ligament injury, manager David Moyes said on Friday. Jagielka picked up the injury in Wednesday's 2-1 Premier League home defeat to Bolton Wanderers in a challenge with visiting striker David Ngog.

The injury comes at a bad time for Moyes who has also lost Leon Osman, Tim Cahill and Jack Rodwell to injury. Midfielder Osman will require surgery to remove floating bone in his knee while Cahill suffered a groin injury against Bolton and Rodwell suffered a hamstring tear in the same game.

West Bromwich Albion will be without their captain Chris Brunt for up to 10 weeks after scans revealed the midfielder fractured his right ankle on New Year's Day. The Northern Ireland international fell awkwardly during second-half stoppage time in West Brom's 1-0 loss to Everton and had to be helped off the pitch. West Brom have already lost midfielder Zoltan Gera for the rest of the campaign after he underwent knee surgery.

Liverpool will not appeal against Luis Suarez's eight-match ban for repeatedly racially abusing Manchester United defender Patrice Evra during a 1-1 home draw in October, even thought the striker again defended his actions and the club renewed their criticism of the English Football Association's disciplinary panel. Liverpool's decision to accept the punishment means the ban started with immediate effect, ruling Suarez out of Tuesday's Premier League match at Manchester City and taking him out of action until February.

Already facing the prospect of a lengthy ban for racially abusing an opponent, Luis Suarez will serve a one-match ban after making an obscene gesture toward Fulham fans during Liverpool's 1-0 Premier League defeat earlier this month. The striker's new ban means he will miss Friday's home game against Newcastle United. Meanwhile, Suarez is considering whether to appeal against an eight-match ban for racial abuse of Manchester United defender Patrice Evra.

Rafael van der Vaart looks set to face Norwich after his hamstring injury proved less serious than first feared. The 28-year-old Durtch forward was substituted at half-time of Tottenham's 1-1 draw against Chelsea due to the problem, and manager Harry Redknapp had feared he could be out until the new year. However, tests showed no tear and Van der Vaart could therefore be in line to play on Tuesday.
