Tyrone Mings and Pau Torres will be assessed over the next 24 hours to see if they are ready to return, having missed 13 and 6 games, respectively. Ross Barkley and Amadou Onana are out, with the former likely to remain on the sidelines until February, but the latter is hopefully set to return before the end of the month.


Unai Emery:

“We’ll see how they are doing, the players, after the match we played on Saturday.
“Tyrone and Pau are close but we are going to train now, I don’t know if for tomorrow they’ll be available or not.
“And other players – no Barkley, no Guessand, no Amadou.

“But we have enough players.

Absent since: 27 Nov 25

AM Harvey Elliott | 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 |

Reason: Not currently being considered for selection


“We decided two months ago we're not convinced to sign him [Harvey Elliott], spending the money we would need to. He's training every day w/ v good behaviour & to help us. “This is not something good for us & him, but this is football & sometimes we must make decisions.


"The problem we have with Harvey (Elliott) is this year he is on loan and in case he is playing matches, we must buy him. We decided two months ago we are not convinced to sign him, spending the money we need. This is the issue.


"We have the issue with Harvey. I am respecting him all we can because he’s a very good professional, very respectful but the situation we have is something I must take a decision on but not damage the person. He’s a very good person and player and deserves the best."
