Fulham boss issues concerning injury update as Arsenal close in on Barcelona starlet

The Premier League continues today, with plenty of exciting action still left to play out this weekend. We have two London derbies on Sunday, with Arsenal and Fulham facing off at Craven Cottage in a good-looking clash between two in form teams.

Elsewhere, Tottenham host high flying rivals Chelsea in what will be another key test for Spurs amid their struggle for consistency. In the meantime, we round up the latest news and transfer rumours surrounding the Premier League.

Nelson setback

Marco SIlva has confirmed the extent of Reiss Nelson’s injury, with the winger likely to miss out next weekend as well as this one, although he couldn’t have faced his loan club in any case.

“Right now, Reiss Nelson was going to be out anyway because he's on loan from Arsenal,” Silva said. “The first feedback I got from the medical staff is that it's going to be a hamstring injury. He's going to be out for this game for sure and probably the next game. Let's see how many more."

Shearer prediction

Alan Shearer is backing a draw between Chelsea and Tottenham in Sunday’s London derby, a result that would likely only be seen as a positive by Spurs.

Shearer told The Metro: “Maresca is doing a great job and he’s playing the title race down. I’m going to say a draw here. It’s at Spurs and a London derby so I think the points will be shared. Prediction: Draw.”

Pradas interest

Arsenal have reportedly convinced Barcelona starlet Arnau Pradas to move to England. According to El Nacional, the Gunners are intent on signing the 18-year-old forward who has been making waves in the Barca academy.

It’s claimed Pradas sees a clearer path to the first team at Arsenal and that could be the decisive factor. It’s claimed Arteta has been directly involved in trying to convince the player’s family that he should make the move to England to join the Gunners.
