Evann Guessand

Guessand (knee) is a late call for Sunday's match against Brentford, according to manager Oliver Glasner. "But we hope that Evann Guessand returns to the squad on Sunday. It's looking good, but he has two training sessions to come through. We want him to get a few minutes, so he can be an option in Leipzig."

Analysis: Guessand is trending towards a return Sunday, as the forward is working on a clean bill of health as he trains the next two days. This will likely lead to his return Sunday, although the club will likely still subject him to a late fitness test to confirm his fitness. He started in two matches before the injury, although the forward has mainly served as a rotational piece this campaign, earning one goal and one assist in six appearances (three starts) since joining the club.

Training, not fit

Guessand (knee) is back in training but is not an option for Wednesday's match against Manchester City, according to manager Oliver Glasner. "Evann and Borna took part in the first part of the training session. We are working towards them returning against Brentford [on Sunday]. They will need a few minutes to get back into shape, of course. All the others are fine."

Analysis: Guessand is going to miss another match despite his return to training, as the forward still needs more time to recover. Instead, he will focus on making the team sheet when facing Brentford on Sunday, still looking to be an option for two games to end the season. He earned three starts in his last five appearances before the injury, potentially getting more time to end the season as they test his talents.
