Impact Gudmondsson somehow managed to carve out three chances, despite only playing half of what was a one-sided game. Manager Vincent Kompany may decide to shake things up after the heavy defeat, so it would be no surprise to see him start the midfielder against Crystal Palace on Saturday.

Makes bench Tuesday Gudmundsson (undisclosed) is on the bench to face Liverpool on Tuesday.

Impact Gudmundsson missed two straight games, but he was deemed fit to face Liverpool here, though he'll have to wait for an opportunity off the bench.

Might play Saturday Gudmundsson -- who was sidelined against Everton on Saturday with an undisclosed injury -- could be in contention versus Fulham on Saturday. Manager Vincent Kompany told reporters,...

Impact It's certainly not a ringing endorsement by Kompany that Gudmundsson will be in the squad but it at least leaves the door open. In his last seven outings (six starts), the midfielder has generated seven shots (two on target), 30 crosses (13 accurate) and 18 corners. Even with Gudmundsson in the squad, Jacob Bruun Larsen has been taking a larger share of the corner-taking duties over the last four matches and could continue to do so Saturday regardless if Gudmundsson is available.

Active display versus West Ham Gudmundsson had one shot on goal, created four chances, sent in five crosses (three accurate) and made two interceptions during Saturday's 2-1 loss against West Ham.

Impact Gudmundsson did what he does best here, using his crossing ability to generate opportunities for teammates and providing some defensive contributions but once again no one was able to capitalize his production into goals for Burnley. After an assist on his season debut, the playmaker did not appear on the scoresheet again. Anyway, he's still one of his team's biggest hopes for upcoming games, including next Saturday's clash against Sheffield United.

Status in doubt Gudmundsson (calf) is not expected to return for Saturday's trip to Newcastle after missing Tuesday's Cup match.

Impact Vincent Kompany hasn't been great at revealing team injuries this season and that's the case for Gudmundsson. There's been no updates on his injury or status since leaving in the 20th minute against Man United last weekend, which suggests he may be out longer than expected with the injury. That being the case, the assumption is that Mike Tresor will at least start Saturday's trip to Newcastle.

Impact It was a tough close to the season for Gudmundsson, who was originally set for his most active campaign since 2018/19.

Rehabbing out of country Gudmundsson revealed on Instagram that he's rehabbing his calf injury in the United Arab Emirates.

Impact It doesn't look like Gudmundsson will be back soon and Sean Dyche has repeatedly said this is a long-term injury. At this point, an April return may not even be possible for Gudmundsson, who was having a solid year, starting 13 matches prior to injury.

FEBRUARY 24, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Still 2-3 weeks from returning Gudmundsson (abdomen) is set to miss another 2-3 weeks with manager Sean Dyche telling reporters, "Johann is making a good recovery after appendicitis but he's probably a few weeks...

Impact Gudmundsson has already missed one match due to his abdominal injury but now will likely miss another three contests. Once cleared to play, the midfielder should be in the mix to reclaim a spot in the starting XI, having featured in 14 of his 19 appearances this year.

FEBRUARY 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Out with appendicitis Gudmundsson has been out with appendicitis and doesn't have a timeline to return, according to manager Sean Dyche.

Impact It's a wonder if Gudmundsson's lack of time before the break was related to this, but it doesn't matter in the end. It's unknown how long he's been dealing with appendicitis and for now, he's expected to miss the next couple matches, possibly meaning more starts for Aaron Lennon on the wing.

Rejoins training Friday Gudmundsson (undisclosed) was back on the training pitch ahead of Sunday's matchup with Arsenal, per Alex James of LancsLive.

Impact Gudmundsson looks set to rejoin the starting XI after being forced off at halftime against Leeds United on Jan. 2. In his last eight outings (all starts) the midfielder has recorded 11 shots (three on target), 19 crosses (four accurate) and one corner. Gudmundsson should offer decent mid-range fantasy value moving forward given his ability to generate crosses and push the attack.

Dealing with undisclosed injury Gudmundsson was unavailable versus Huddersfield Town on Saturday due to an undisclosed injury, per Alex James of LancsLive.

Impact Gudmundsson has started eight straight matches for the club in EPL action in which he has recorded 11 shots (three on target), 19 crosses (four accurate) and 16 clearances. Given his limited offensive upside, he has zero goals and one assist this year, Gudmundsson shouldn't be expected to offer more than mid-range fantasy value moving forward. For now, Gudmundsson should be considered questionable heading into Saturday's matchup with Leicester City.

JANUARY 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Seven tackles in defeat Gudmundsson made seven tackles during Saturday's 1-0 loss to Newcastle.

Impact Gudmundsson led the way with seven tackles, as well as sending in three speculative shots. The midfielder is an interesting fantasy play, though he's not always a starter. Next up is a Sunday clash with a high-flying West Ham side.

Three shots in loss Gudmundsson shot three times (once on goal) during Saturday's 1-0 defeat to Arsenal.

SEPTEMBER 18, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Picks up assist Monday Gudmundsson recorded one assist, four crosses (one accurate) and three interceptions against Everton on Monday.

Impact Gudmundsson trailed only Ashley Westwood for the team led in crosses but wasn't able to help his side find any more offensive after Everton took the lead.
