FPL injury update: Saka, Gabriel, Nunez, De Bruyne, Walker and Trippier latest for GW30
A huge weekend of Premier League action kicks off with Newcastle United vs West Ham on Saturday lunchtime.
Time is ticking down until the 11am (GMT) Fantasy Premier League (FPL) deadline for GW30, and several top stars have picked up knocks during the international break. Here, Express Sport takes you through the latest information on a selection of doubts for the likes of Arsenal, Manchester City and Liverpool this weekend...
Bukayo Saka
Arsenal's starboy withdrew from the England squad before a ball was even kicked during the international break, and while Mikel Arteta concedes that Saka has not even returned to training yet, he believes 'there is a chance' he will be in the squad to face Man City.
Gabriel Magalhaes
Exactly the same goes for Gabriel, who left the Brazilian national team camp with an Achilles issue. The centre-back has not trained as yet, according to Arteta, but the Gunners have another session planned on Saturday.
Darwin Nunez
Alarm bells rang when the Liverpool forward pulled out of the Uruguay squad this month, but Nunez was spotted back in training on Thursday and Jurgen Klopp has assured supporters that the forward is 'all good'.
Kevin De Bruyne
City's talismanic midfielder decided not to join up with Belgium this month due to a muscle issue. Pep Guardiola claims De Bruyne trained 'really well' on Wednesday, suggesting he should feature against Arsenal given the magnitude of the match.
Kyle Walker
The flying right-back was forced off within the first 20 minutes of England's friendly defeat to Brazil. Guardiola has confirmed that he is out of City's all-important clash with Arsenal, and the issue will be a 'tough' one to resolve.
Kieran Trippier
The Newcastle United man has not played competitively since March 2. And while he has not yet been spotted in training this week, Magpies boss Eddie Howe has stated that he could 'possibly' be in the squad along with Harvey Barnes and Tino Livramento.

John Stones
Another City man to be struck down while on England duty, Guardiola has confirmed that Stones will miss out on the Arsenal showdown. The Sky Blues will miss his versatility, but previously injured goalkeeper Ederson is in line to return.
Dominic Solanke
There were some lingering doubts about the Bournemouth striker due to a niggling knee injury. However, manager Andoni Iraola claims he has been training 'perfectly' and the international break came at an ideal time.
Gabriel Martinelli
The Arsenal winger has not featured in any match since March 4. Arteta admitted on Friday that, like Saka and Gabriel, Martinelli has not yet returned to training, but again like his two team-mates, making the squad remains 'possible'.

Andrew Robertson
The Liverpool left-back was dragged off in the first half of Scotland's defeat to Northern Ireland on Tuesday. But the ankle issue he sustained is 'not serious', according to Klopp, who says Robertson is going to work 'day by day' until Brighton's visit to Anfield this weekend.
Micky van de Ven
The Dutch defender was absent for Tottenham's thrashing at Fulham before the international break. Ange Postecoglou has revealed that Van de Ven will be back for the Luton Town game on Saturday, however, along with team-mates Richarlison and Rodrigo Bentancur.
Cole Palmer
Palmer has been Chelsea's standout player this season, so a minor issue he picked up on England duty will have come as a serious concern for Mauricio Pochettino, but the 21-year-old is already back in training and ready for Burnley's visit to Stamford Bridge.
