Impact Aguerd is still a doubt for Sunday's clash after missing the mid-week match against Freiburg.

Out against Arsenal Aguerd (illness) is out for Thursday's match against Arsenal.

In doubt Thursday Aguerd (illness) remains a doubt heading into Thursday's matchup with Arsenal. Manager David Moyes told reporters, "I'll need to see how Nayef Aguerd is."

Impact Aguerd was unavailable against Manchester United on Saturday and appears to be in danger of missing another contest due to his illness. If deemed fit, the central defender should be a near-lock to reclaim his spot in the starting XI considering he has featured in all 20 of his appearances this season. Konstantinos Mavropanos figures to be relegated to the bench once Aguerd returns to action.
