Tyrone Mings - Working on recovery Mings continues to build strength and work on his recovery following a torn ACL.

Impact Mings has lossed a significant amount of muscle in his leg following months on the sideline after ACL surgery. He's not expected to return this season given that he's only in the gym and building strength in his knee in late March. If all goes well, he may be in light training in a month or two, but it'll likely take a few months before he's ready to take part in a match.

Douglas Luiz - Rare quiet outing in draw Luiz had one off-target shot, created one chance, made two tackles (both won) and was shown a yellow card during Sunday's 1-1 draw against West Ham,.

Impact Luiz was very quiet overall on both ends, especially on offense as he wasn't able to create for teammates even as a set-pieces taker. However, the midfielder still found a way to be decisive for his team as he was the one who set Moussa Diaby to assist Nicolo Zaniolo's equalizer late in the game. With nine goals and five assists over 28 league starts this season, Luiz has been one of EPL's most impactful players at his position.

Emiliano Martinez - Makes three saves in draw Martinez made three saves and conceded one goal during Sunday's 1-1 draw against West Ham,.

Impact Martinez couldn't do anything to stop Michail Antonio's header from the six-yard box that opened the scoring for the opposition and then had luck by his side as he was beaten twice more but those goals were disallowed after VAR check due to handballs in both plays. This has been a rough stretch for the goalkeeper since his last clean sheet on Feb. 3, with just 13 saves against 12 goals allowed over six starts.

Moussa Diaby - Delivers assist off bench Diaby made an assist, had one off-target shot and created three chances after coming off the bench during Sunday's 1-1 draw against West Ham.

Impact Diaby took the pitch as part of a double halftime substitution and made most of the extended playing time, creating a lot from the right flank and assisting Nicolo Zaniolo's equalizer in the 79th minute. That's now two assists over the last three appearances for the winger, who's been strengthening his case in the fight for recovering his starting spot lost at the end of January.

Nicolo Zaniolo - Scores equalizer off bench Zaniolo scored a goal off his lone shot and was shown a yellow card after coming off the bench during Sunday's 1-1 draw against West Ham.

Impact Zaniolo was brought as part of a double substitution just past the hour mark and didn't make an immediate impact but everything changed in the 79th minute, when the attacker appeared at the right place to slot home a pass from the right flank and draw things level at 1-1. This was just the second goal over 20 league appearances for Zaniolo, who's been mostly struggling during his first EPL campaign.

Ollie Watkins - Gets full 90 Sunday Watkins recorded two shots, two crosses and one chance created in 90 minutes of play during Sunday's 1-1 draw to West Ham.

Impact Watkins avoided missing any time after limping off the field against Ajax on Thursday, as he played the full 90 in the club's latest match on Sunday. The club was very fortunate to have the player not miss time, with the forward being the centerpiece of their attack, notching 16 goals and a league-leading 10 assists. He should now be expected to remain in a starting role now that he is healthy, as he will play a tremendous part to the end of the season for the club while they chase a top-four finish.

Impact Watkins was originally feared to have suffered a more serious knee injury but it appears he may have avoided the worst case scenario and instead only have suffered a laceration. Some stitches could be required but the injury shouldn't be one that puts Watkins at risk of any long-term absence.
