Impact Decordova-Reid hasn't trained with the team since suffering the injury, so there's little chance he plays before the break. The good news is while the injury seems painful it seems unlikely to have any sort of lasting damage. Decordova-Reid's first chance to recover after the break would be a Nov. 23 clash with Chelsea. Stephy Mavididi remains the staring option on the left wing.
