Matty Cash - Nets Thursday Cash scored during Thursday's 2-1 loss to Lille in the Conference League.

Impact Cash was in the starting XI against Lille, and despite the loss he still came up with a goal and a spot in the next round. The full-back was starting more often than not before he suffered this injury and could take on a larger role, as a more attacking right-back compared to Ezri Konsa.

Nicolo Zaniolo - Forced off Zaniolo was forced off with an apparent injury during the first half of Thursday's clash with Lille.

Impact Zaniolo made it just 26 minutes into Thursday's clash before being forced off. The attacking midfielder will have an extremely short turnaround before a Sunday clash with Bournemouth. Zaniolo will more likely target a return for an April 27 clash with Chelsea if the injury isn't serious.

Impact Moreno has been left on the bench in each of the last three matches so his absence shouldn't be a major hit to the starting XI. Lucas Digne remains the preferred option, though with Moreno out Digne will need to stay fit, as there will be far fewer chances for rotation.

Emiliano Martinez - Keeps clean sheet versus Arsenal Martinez made four saves and kept a clean sheet during Sunday's 2-0 win over Arsenal.

Impact Martinez bounced back from his performance on the previous match in a huge way, shutting down the team who had the league's best offense prior to the weekend. That's now two clean sheets over the last three starts for the goalkeeper, who will next face Bournemouth on Apr. 21.
