Sven Botman - Out

Botman also has a knee injury and will be out until early May. Howe has said: “Sven's not too bad. He's had a very minor operation just to clean out some floating bone that was in his knee and was causing him a problem. The initial diagnosis was between 6-8 weeks.

Romain Esse and Matt Turner - Fit

Chadi Riad - Out

Riad is out until the winter after an ACL rupture. Glasner has said: “Chadi has ruptured his ACL, so we have lost [him] for the rest of the season and even longer. There was no impact, and Chadi as well, it was just a normal situation in training ' so it's really frustrating.”

Cheick Doucoure - Out
