Ollie Watkins - Set for late test Watkins (hamstring) will be a late fitness test for Saturday's clash with Brentford, according to manager Unai Emery.

Impact Watkins is in doubt for Saturday's clash as he continues to struggle with a hamstring injury. The striker has been one of the most prolific players in the Premier League and is nearly irreplaceable in the starting XI. The injury has Watkins deemed day-to-day so even if he can't return Saturday he should be back for an April 14 clash with Arsenal.

Jacob Ramsey - Season over Ramsey (ankle) won't return in the 2023/24 season, according to manager Unai Emery.

Impact Ramsey has been struggling with an ankle injury and was reportedly recovering well. It seems like he's suffered some sort of setback as he now heads to the sideline for the remainder of the season. Ramsey finishes an injury-riddled season with one goal and one assist in just 850 minutes across 16 appearances (eight starts).

Lucas Digne - Whips in three crosses Digne registered three crosses (zero accurate) and two tackles in Wednesday's 4-1 defeat against Manchester City.

Impact Digne earned his first start in three matches Wednesday, notching a decent three crosses, two tackles and two clearances in his 90 minutes of play. The defender looks to have possibly fallen out of the starting role he has held for much of the season, as after returning from his injury in February, he has only earned two starts in the club's past eight games.

Morgan Rogers - Assist Wednesday Rogers assisted once to go with one cross (zero accurate) and two chances created in Wednesday's 4-1 loss to Manchester City.

Impact Rogers made only his sixth appearance of the season Wednesday, earning an assist in his 63 minutes on the field after finding Jhon Duran in the 20th minute. This gave Rogers not only his first assist of the season but also his first goal contribution in Premier League play. He has now started in the club's past three matches, notching one shot, a cross, two chances created and four tackles to go along with his assist during that span.

Jhon Jader Duran Palacio - Nets consolation goal in loss Duran scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and one chance created in Wednesday's 4-1 defeat versus Manchester City.

Impact Duran earned his third goal of the season Wednesday, finding the back of the net in the 20th minute off of a Morgan Rogers assist to equalize the contest. Duran has now started in two of the club's past three games, with those being his only two starts of the season, earning one shot, a chance created and a goal across those two matches.

Robin Olsen - Allows four against City Olsen recorded seven saves and allowed four goals in Wednesday's 4-1 defeat against Manchester City.

Impact Olsen was required to take over in net Wednesday after Emiliano Martinez was scratched from the starting XI late due to an illness. Unfortunately for Olsen, his day did not go as he would've wanted, as he allowed four goals while making seven saves. However, this was only his second appearance of the season, allowing five goals while making eight saves in those two games. He will most likely return to the bench in the next contest, with Martinez getting the start to face Brentford Saturday.

John McGinn - Eligible for selection McGinn is available for Saturday's clash with Brentford after serving a three-match ban.

Impact McGinn was suspended on either side of the international break and now is available for selection once more. The midfielder's absence left a major gap in the middle of the park, and was a big part of a disappointing draw with West Ham and loss to Manchester City. McGinn should be straight back in the starting XI against Brentford.
