Lucas Bergvall - Out

Archie Gray - Out

Gray is out for a couple of weeks with a calf strain.

Dominic Solanke - Out

Frank has said this week: “We want him back and no setbacks. We're very aware of doing it in the right way. It is going in the right way, but he won't be back before the international break.”

Ben Davies - Out

Davies picked up a muscular injury during the last international window and will remain out for a few weeks, likely returning in late November.

Dejan Kulusevski - Out (Ineligible)

Kulusevsk is is going to remain out until late November. Frank said last month: “He's a key, key player for us. Instead of putting an exact month on [his return]. I just want him back as quick as possible. I know the medical team and Dejan are working very hard on that... It's not tomorrow, hopefully not too far away.”

Radu Dragusin - Out (Ineligible)

Dragusin is back in training but now needs a pre-season of sorts. Frank has said: “He's fully integrated into training now. An ACL [injury] is not tricky, but it's such a big injury, because you're out for nine months, so you need to build strength in the knee. He is definitely getting closer to being involved. I think we plan to play him in a friendly [during the Nov break], as I understand it.”

Yves Bissouma - Out (Ineligible)

Bissouma is out for a few weeks with an ankle injury he picked up on international duty. Frank explained: “Biss, unfortunately, had a situation with the national team, I think everyone saw that, so he got a ligament injury to his ankle that will keep him out for weeks.”
