Louis Beyer - Won't return Beyer (undisclosed) won't return before the end of the 2023/24 season, according to manager Vincent Kompany. "Jordan and Ameen I think with five games left, I think it's fair to as...

Impact Beyer won't be back before the end of the season, this is a disappointing turn as it was hoped he'd be back multiple times. Kompany was still cagey as always but it seems more likely than not that Beyer suffered some sort of setback to be ruled out like this. Beyer's season ends with 15 appearances (15 starts) and a single assist, when fit he will be a key piece in the starting XI.

Ameen Al-Dakhil - Season over Al-Dakhil (undisclosed) is out for the remainder of the season, according to manager Vincent Kompany."Jordan and Ameen I think with five games left, I think it's fair to assume it'...

Impact Al-Dakhil has missed two months already and it appears the injury is as bad as feared, as he is now done for the season. The defender finishes his first season in the Premier League with 13 appearances (12 starts) totaling 34 clearances, 12 tackles, and 11 interceptions.

Dara O'Shea - Suspension served O'Shea is eligible to play once again after serving his one-match ban due to his straight red card against Everton.

Impact O'Shea is no longer suspended, having served his one-match suspension against Brighton on Saturday. The defender will now most likely return to his starting role to face Sheffield United on Saturday in the club's next contest, as he has started at center-back in all but two of the 29 matches he has been available for this campaign.

Hjalmar Ekdal - Taken off due to fatigue Ekdal was taken off the field in Saturday's match due to fatigue, as assistant manager Craig Bellamy stated, "He's fine though. It's just that he hasn't played the games over the p...

Impact Ekdal does not appear to be holding any type of injury despite the slight concerns when he limped off the field Saturday, as the club confirmed it was only fatigue. This does make sense, as the defender applied a heavy press on the Brighton attackers all match but has only played seven contests this season, not being seasoned for a full 90 minutes at the moment. However, after his magnificent display before coming off, he may have earned himself more time on the pitch as the season nears an end.

Lyle Foster - Poor against Brighton Foster recorded one chance created in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Brighton.

Impact Foster saw an uneventful 90 minutes of play Saturday, as he only notched one chance created through the entirety of the game. The forward has been disappointing since returning from injury five matches ago, registering three shots and four chances created during that span, with his last goal contribution coming on Dec. 30.

Maxime Esteve - Solid day in defense Esteve registered three tackles (zero won), six clearances and one interception in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Brighton.

Impact Esteve saw possibly his best game in the defense since joining the club on loan in January, as he went on to notch one interception, three tackles and six clearances in the draw. He has yet to miss a start since his first contest with the club, registering 15 interceptions, 17 tackles and 39 clearances in his 10 appearances with the team.

Wilson Odobert - Decent in attack Odobert had two shots (zero on goal), three crosses (two accurate) and three chances created in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Brighton.

Impact Odobert saw a decent match in the attack despite going his fourth straight match without a goal contribution, as he notched two shots, three chances created and three crosses in the draw. He will hope to now finish the season on a strong note, only having five goal contributions this season despite being a forward who has started in 20 games this campaign.

Josh Brownhill - Scores opening goal Brownhill scored one goal to go with two shots (two on goal) in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Brighton.

Impact Brownhill was only on the field for 23 minutes Saturday but still made a huge difference, as he scored the opening goal of the match in the 74th minute. This gave the midfielder his fourth goal of the season, now having six goal contributions this campaign. He appears to have fallen to a bench role, not having earned a start in his past six appearances after starting in all but four matches until Feb. 24.

Arijanet Muric - Scores own goal in draw Muric had eight saves and allowed one goal, but also 2 an own goal in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Brighton.

Impact Muric had a decent match after registering eight saves, although his one error would prove costly, as he scored an own goal in the 79th minute to give Brighton their only goal of the match, leading to a draw. The goalie still has yet to earn a clean sheet in his five appearances this season, notching 27 saves and six goals allowed during those games. He will now look for his first clean sheet of the season when they face Sheffield United on Saturday.

Hjalmar Ekdal - Leaves field injured Ekdal was forced off in the 66th minute of Saturday's 1-1 draw against Brighton due to an apparent injury.

Impact Ekdal's day ended early Saturday as he was taken off the field due to an apparent injury. It is still unknown what the injury is, how serious it is and when he will return, but luckily, his absence won't be the biggest loss if he does miss time, only appearing in a match seven times all season. The club will hope his problems are only minor, as they would like to keep the depth available, but regardless of his status next week, expect Dara O'Shea to get the start in Ekdal's place after serving his suspension.

Arijanet Muric - Makes costly error Muric made two saves and conceded once in Saturday's 1-0 loss to Everton.

Impact Muric was careless with the ball at his feet, taking two long with a clearance and allowing Dominic Calvert-Lewin enough time to charge down his clearance for the goal. The keeper has been preferred to James Trafford for the last four games, although his howler could force Vincent Kompany into a rethink for Saturday's match against Brighton.
