English Premier League Injured & Suspended List Football

6.1.26 Man City

Manchester City have confirmed that defender Josko Gvardiol suffered a broken right leg in Sunday's 1-1 draw with Chelsea, sustaining a tibial fracture that will require surgery later this week. Gvardiol was one of two centre-backs forced off injured in the second half, with the extent of Ruben Dias' injury still unclear. The setback deepens City's defensive crisis, with several key players already sidelined or unavailable.

5.1.26 Liverpool

Liverpool forward Hugo Ekitike is a doubt for the upcoming Premier League clash with Arsenal after picking up a hamstring injury in the 2-2 draw at Fulham. Manager Arne Slot explained that Ekitike's injury stems from covering for the long-term absence of Alexander Isak, which has forced the young Frenchman to play increased minutes.

5.1.26 Man City

Pep Guardiola expressed concern after Manchester City defenders Josko Gvardiol and Ruben Dias were both forced off with injuries during Sunday's 1-1 draw with Chelsea. Guardiola said the severity of the issues should be known Monday, adding to an already lengthy injury list that includes John Stones, Mateo Kovacic and others. With a congested January schedule ahead and several key players sidelined or doubtful, Guardiola admitted City are short on options, though he stressed the squad must "stay strong" as they continue their title push.

3.1.26 Arsenal

Riccardo Calafiori will miss Arsenal's upcoming match against Bournemouth as he continues to recover from the injury that has sidelined him in recent weeks. The defender was forced to withdraw during the warm-up against Brighton and has since missed consecutive matches, despite being a key figure in Mikel Arteta's side this season. As Arsenal's first-choice left back, his absence has been notable, though the club is prioritising a full recovery over a rushed return.

2.1.26 Man City

Manchester City suffered new injury concerns during Thursday's goalless draw with Sunderland. Nico Gonzalez was withdrawn at halftime with a calf issue, while Savinho was forced off early in the second half with an injury Pep Guardiola said "does not look good." The setbacks come at a difficult time for City as they face a packed schedule across domestic and European competitions.

2.1.26 Tottenham

Tottenham striker Dominic Solanke could return from his recurring ankle injury by the end of the month, according to Thomas Frank. Solanke, who has been sidelined since August, was pictured training with the first team this week and has begun partial sessions with the group. Frank said a January return is a possibility as Spurs continue to struggle for attacking options and prepare to be active in the winter transfer window.

1.1.26 Man City

Manchester City midfielder Rodri is fit to return from a hamstring injury and could feature against Sunderland on Thursday as City aim to maintain pressure on Premier League leaders Arsenal, manager Pep Guardiola said. Winger Jeremy Doku is also close to a comeback after a leg injury, though John Stones and Oscar Bobb remain sidelined. Guardiola acknowledged City are still managing injuries but praised their strong points total, while cautioning that Sunderland will be a tough opponent despite City's recent winning form.

31.12.25 Burnley

Burnley have suffered a major setback after captain Josh Cullen was diagnosed with an ACL injury that will require surgery and keep him out for around nine months. The midfielder was forced off during the goalless draw with Everton, with scans confirming the seriousness of the injury. Manager Scott Parker admitted Cullen is likely to miss the majority of 2026, dealing a significant blow to Burnley's relegation fight and to the Republic of Ireland ahead of World Cup qualifiers.

31.12.25 Everton

Everton's injury problems have deepened after new concerns emerged over Iliman Ndiaye, who was substituted at halftime for Senegal during the Africa Cup of Nations and will undergo tests. The news comes after David Moyes confirmed fresh injuries to Charly Alcaraz and Michael Keane ahead of the win over Nottingham Forest, adding to an already lengthy list of absentees.

30.12.25 Arsenal

Arsenal's injury situation has become a key factor in the title race as they prepare to host Aston Villa. Jurrien Timber missed the Brighton match after picking up a knock but could boost Arteta's options if he returns, while Kai Havertz is back in training and close to selection after a knee injury. Ben White and Riccardo Calafiori are also nearing potential returns, though Cristhian Mosquera faces a lengthy absence, leaving Arteta balancing continuity with squad management during a crucial stretch.

29.12.25 Arsenal

Mikel Arteta revealed that Riccardo Calafiori felt an unusual and awkward issue that began the day before the Brighton match and worsened during the warm-up, leaving the defender uncomfortable and unable to play, though Arsenal remain hopeful it is not a serious problem.

28.12.25 Everton

Everton manager David Moyes revealed Jack Grealish missed the Premier League match against Burnley due to a virus that left him unwell over the Christmas period. The on-loan Manchester City midfielder was not fit to feature, with his availability for Everton's next game against Nottingham Forest still uncertain.
