Football 13/05/2023 – Plenty of football is being played today. The Premier League has six games, including Leeds v Newcastle and Man Utd v Wolves.

Football 13/05/2023 – Leeds v Newcastle United

As we approach the upcoming match between Leeds and Newcastle, here’s an overview of the team status:

• Tyler Adams, Liam Cooper, Luis Sinisterra, and Stuart Dallas, all key team players, are continuing their recovery process. Unfortunately, they won’t be on the pitch for the game against Newcastle.
• Goalkeeping duties for Leeds are anticipated to once again fall on Joel Robles. After his debut for the team in the match against Manchester City, he is expected to guard the net in what will be Sam Allardyce’s inaugural home game at the helm.
• Emil Krafth, another important figure in the squad, remains on the injury list, making him unavailable for the imminent fixture.
• Newcastle fans can find solace in the likely return of Allan Saint-Maximin. After making a cameo appearance in the closing stages of the Arsenal game, it seems he might be back in full swing for this match.
• However, the bad news for Newcastle is that Sean Longstaff remains out of action with no confirmed return date. The midfield will surely feel his absence.
• Adding to Newcastle’s injury woes, defender Jamaal Lascelles is also out due to a calf injury. Manager Howe has hinted that this could signal the end of Lascelles’ season, a heavy blow to the team’s defence.
• Lastly, Ryan Fraser is still working on his fitness with the U21 squad, indicating that he is not yet ready for first-team action.

In summary, both teams face challenges with key players out of action, potentially significantly impacting their upcoming match.

Football 13/05/2023 – Aston Villa v Tottenham

• Unai Emery finds himself one man short, with Jed Steer still unavailable due to injury. However, there’s a silver lining as Matty Cash appears to be ready to return to the field after recovering from his injury.
• Given the recent back-to-back losses against Manchester United and Wolves, it is predicted that Emery will look to shuffle his squad. This could imply new strategies and player combinations on the horizon.
• Regrettably, Rodrigo Bentancur and Ryan Sessegnon will remain sidelined, their absence felt by their teammates.
• Further bad news for the team is the loss of Hugo Lloris, who has been ruled out for the rest of the season. This could significantly impact the team’s defence moving forward.
• Clement Lenglet’s status for the upcoming match is uncertain. He had to exit the field prematurely in the game against Crystal Palace due to a shoulder injury, and his availability for the next fixture remains doubtful.

Football 13/05/2023 – Chelsea v Nottingham Forest

• Armando Broja’s season has ended abruptly due to an injury, a setback for the team as they lose a crucial player.
• Reece James’ season is also prematurely over due to a hamstring injury he picked up in the match against Real Madrid. This loss will undoubtedly impact the team’s formation and strategy.
• Mason Mount’s status is also bleak, as he is expected to be sidelined for the rest of the season due to an injury. His absence will be felt in the midfield.
• Kalidou Koulibaly’s availability for the upcoming match is uncertain due to a hamstring injury that has kept him out of the last few games. His fitness will be evaluated closer to the game time.
• Marc Cucurella is also ruled out with a quad injury. Both Koulibaly and Cucurella missed the recent defeat to Arsenal, and their absence was noticeably felt.
• Ben Chilwell’s participation for the rest of the season is also doubtful. He sustained a hamstring injury in the game against Bournemouth, potentially ending his season prematurely.
• Wesley Fofana’s status for the upcoming match is uncertain after he missed the Bournemouth game. His availability will be determined closer to the match.
• Steve Cooper faces a challenging task as he will miss several key players for the upcoming trip to Chelsea.
• On a brighter note, Brennan Johnson and Danilo, who were initially doubtful for the previous match, made significant contributions in the crucial victory over Southampton. Their performances are sure to boost the team’s morale.

Football 13/05/2023 – Crystal Palace v Bournemouth

• Crystal Palace will have to make do without three of their players. Nathan Ferguson, James Tomkins, and James McArthur are all set to miss the forthcoming match against Bournemouth, leaving gaps that must be filled.
• Ryan Fredericks, Marcus Tavernier, and Junior Stanislas are also in the injury ward. Their continued absence due to injury will affect the team’s performance and strategy.
• Kieffer Moore’s availability is up in the air for the upcoming match. After sitting out the Chelsea game due to adherence to concussion protocols, his participation in the next fixture remains uncertain.
• Due to injury concerns, Hamed Traore’s status for the forthcoming match is also under question. His potential absence could influence the team’s game plan.

Football 13/05/2023 – Manchester United v Wolves

• Manchester United is dealing with several player unavailabilities for their upcoming match against Wolves.
• There’s a question mark over Marcus Rashford’s participation, with his condition to be evaluated closer to the game.
• Raphael Varane, however, is making a welcome return to bolster the home side’s lineup.
• Julen Lopetegui doesn’t have any new injury headaches to contend with.
• Unfortunately for Lopetegui, Sasa Kalajdzic and Chiquinho will continue to be on the sidelines.

Football 13/05/2023 – Southampton v Fulham

• Juan Larios’ season has unfortunately ended abruptly due to an injury.
• Mohammed Salisu continues his battle with an injury, which keeps him out of the lineup.
• Fellow defender Armel Bella-Kotchap has also had his season cut short due to a hamstring injury sustained during the match against Nottingham Forest.
• Although Tino Livramento is progressing in his recovery, he is unlikely to appear soon.
• Romain Perraud’s season has also prematurely ended due to injury.
• Layvin Kurzawa remains out of the lineup due to an ongoing injury.
• Dan James, unfortunately, had to sit out the game against Leicester due to a hamstring injury.
• Aleksandar Mitrovic is finally available for selection after serving an eight-match suspension. However, he might be eased back into the team, starting from the bench, given Carlos Vinicius’ recent scoring form against Leicester.
• Andreas Pereira and Tim Ream have sustained injuries that sadly ended their season prematurely. Before these injuries, they had started every Premier League game.

Football 13/05/2023 – Rangers v Celtic

The Rangers’ gaffer, Michael Beale, made significant alterations to his squad following their unfortunate Scottish Cup semi-final exit to their arch-rivals. However, the team showed resilience and bounced back with a narrow victory over Aberdeen at Ibrox the following Sunday.

Here’s the rundown:

• Goalkeeper Robby McCrorie stepped in for Allan McGregor and performed admirably, securing a clean sheet.
• Ridvan Yilmaz took over from the injured Borna Barisic in the left-back position.
• Nicolas Raskin and John Lundstram continued their roles in front of the defensive line.
• Todd Cantwell, who netted the only goal against Aberdeen, was part of a completely revamped attacking trio. Ianis Hagi, Rabbi Matondo, and Fashion Sakala stepped in for Malik Tillman, Ryan Kent, and Alfredo Morelos.

On the Celtic side, manager Ange Postecoglou had to make a couple of enforced changes to his squad that progressed to the Scottish Cup final at Rangers’ expense and secured a 2-0 victory against Hearts at Tynecastle, thereby securing their consecutive Scottish Premiership title.

Here are the details:

• Cameron Carter-Vickers’ season came to a premature end, prompting Yuki Kobayashi to take his place.
• Alistair Johnston suffered an injury at the national stadium, resulting in Anthony Ralston stepping into the right-back role the following Sunday.
• Kyogo Furuhashi, once again, played a crucial role in getting Celtic ahead during the weekend match.
• Substitute striker Hyun-Gyu Oh came off the bench to secure the victory and ensured Celtic’s lead over their city rivals remains unchallenged.
