Kristoffer Ajer - Could return Monday Ajer (concussion) may be cleared to play against Manchester United on Monday.

Impact Ajer is poised to return following just one game on the sidelines due to his concussion. In his previous five outings, the defender made for appearances in a right-back role but still offered limited offensive production with one assist, three shots (zero on target) and four crosses (one accurate).

Christian Norgaard - Expected back Monday Norgaard (lower leg) is in contention for Monday's matchup with Manchester United.

Impact Norgaard had started 15 straight contests prior to his absence versus Tottenham on Saturday. In those appearances, the midfielder recorded two goals on nine shots (two on target), one assist and eight crosses (two accurate). If back in the starting XI, Norgaard should be capable of offering decent mid-range fantasy value.

Christian Norgaard - Out with shin injury Norgaard is not in the squad for Saturday's match against Tottenham because of a shin injury suffered last week.

Impact Thomas Frank clearly avoided talking about this injury ahead of Saturday's match, as Norgaard suffered the issue a week ago. No matter, Mathias Jensen is back in the starting XI in his place with Samman Ghoddos also getting a rare start against Tottenham.

Kristoffer Ajer - Out with concussion Ajer is not in the squad for Saturday's match against Tottenham because of a concussion suffered in training.

Impact It's an unfortunate concussion for Ajer, who was hit in the face in training. Coming off an assist last week, he'll be replaced in the starting XI Saturday for the first time since January, as Mads Roerslev is getting the call at right-back against Tottenham.

Frank Onyeka - Likely done for season Onyeka (ankle) will likely remain sidelined for the remainder of the 2021-22 campaign. Manager Thomas Frank told reporters, "Frank Onyeka has an ankle ligament injury. That could b...

Impact Onyeka has already been out of the squad for the club's last three contests with no clear sign of improvement. Even when healthy, the midfielder has struggled to break into the starting XI, so his absence is unlikely to affect most fantasy player.

APRIL 22, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Ethan Pinnock - Dealing with hamstring problem Pinnock is expected to miss multiple weeks due to a hamstring injury, Manager Thomas Frank told reporters, "Ethan Pinnock (hamstring) is hopefully only a couple of weeks."

Impact Pinnock has missed just one match for the club this season, starting all 32 of his appearances in which he has registered one goal on 16 shots (nine on target), one assist and 21 crosses (four accurate). While the central defender can certainly rack up clearances (148), his limited offensive upside makes him no more than a mid-range fantasy target, at best.

APRIL 22, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Sergi Canos - Set for two-week absence Canos is expected to miss "a few weeks" according to manager Thomas Frank.

Impact Canos was absent from Saturday's clash with Watford and will now miss at least two more contests due to his undisclosed injury. In his last five outings (two starts), the midfielder registered five shots (three on target), six crosses (four accurate) and five clearances.

APRIL 22, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Zanka - Done for season Zanka will be sidelined for the rest of the 2021-22 campaign due to an adductor injury. Manager Thomas Frank told reporters, "Zanka (adductor) is out for the rest of the season."

Impact Considering Zanka has made just eight appearances (six starts) for the club this season, his absence from the squad is unlikely to impact the majority of fantasy players. Even when the defender has played, he hasn't offered much in the way of offensive production and figures to remain a low-end fantasy option looking ahead to next year.

David Raya - Three saves for win Raya made three saves and one clearance during Saturday's 2-1 win over Watford.

Impact Raya made three saves and looked strong throughout Saturday's win. The keeper has been in brilliant form since returning from a long-term injury and is looking like one of the top fantasy options in the Premier League. He will put that to the test next time out, against a red-hot Tottenham side.

APRIL 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Kristoffer Ajer - Third assist of season Ajer provided one assist on two chances created during Saturday's 2-1 win over Watford.

Impact Ajer didn't have an assist until February, but now has three on the season. It's been a strong second half of the campaign for Ajer as he has made the move over to right-back. If he can stay in this role out wide he may have some sneaky fantasy value. Next up for Ajer is a tough clash against Tottenham.

APRIL 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Christian Eriksen - Assists in win Eriksen provided one assist on three chances created during Saturday's 2-1 win over Watford.

Impact Eriksen hasn't missed a beat since returning to the Premier League and looks like a brilliantly creative player still. The midfielder whipped in seven crosses and created three chances in the match as he found plenty of space to split the Watford lines. Eriksen will be taking on his former club, Tottenham, next time out.

APRIL 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Pontus Jansson - Scores on return Jansson scored once on two shots on goal during Saturday's 2-1 win over Watford.

Impact Jansson scored his second goal of the campaign during Saturday's win, popping up for the game-winning goal. The defender isn't much of a fantasy asset as a traditional central defender. Jansson will be marshaling a likely besieged backline against Tottenham next time out.

APRIL 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Christian Norgaard - Nets Saturday Norgaard scored once on one shot during Saturday's 2-1 win over Watford.

Impact Norgaard scored his third goal of the season during Saturday's important win over Watford. The midfielder has offered fantasy managers little upside throughout the season, though this goal is a nice boon. Norgaard will be a very fringe fantasy play against Tottenham next time out.

APRIL 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Ethan Pinnock - Sets up goal, leaves injured Pinnock set up Brentford's opening goal with a long throw in before being taken out in the 21st minute with an undisclosed injury.

Impact Brentford have been cruising, so it's a tough injury for them already up a goal Saturday. Pinnock has been a rock on the back line this season with 32 starts to his name, but there's a chance he'll miss time going forward with Mads Bech Sorensen taking his spot against Brentford.

APRIL 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Pelenda Da Silva - Available Saturday Dasilva (hamstring) will be an option versus Watford on Saturday. Manager Thomas Frank told reporters, "Josh Dasilva will be involved in the squad which is very positive."

Impact Dasilva has been limited to just four appearances this season in which he made two starts while recording one cross (inaccurate), four clearances and two tackles (one won). Even if he does start, the midfielder may be hard-pressed to offer more than mid-range fantasy value.
