Christian Pulisic - Absent due to illnessPulisic was sidelined for Thursday's matchup with Norwich City due to illness.
ImpactPulisic has been rolling with three goals on eight shots (four on target), one assist and six crosses (one accurate) in his last five appearances. Still, the attacking midfielder is not exactly a lock for the starting XI considering he was an unused substitute for two contests during that stretch as well. If Pulisic can play in Sunday's matchup with Newcastle United, he should be a top-half fantasy target if included in the starting XI.

Marcos Alonso - Misses out ThursdayAlonso (COVID-19) was not included in the match-day squad versus Norwich on Thursday.
ImpactAlonso was expected to at least make the squad Thursday but was ultimately held out for his second straight contest. As a result, the midfielder should be considered questionable heading into Sunday's tilt with Newcastle United. With Champions League action against Lille on Wednesday, Alonso could be kept out of the starting XI versus Norwich in order to make him available Wednesday.

Andreas Christensen - Logs full 90 minutesChristensen played the full 90 minutes against Norwich on Thursday in which he registered one shot (off target), four interceptions and two tackles (one won).
ImpactWhile Christensen's return will no doubt bolster the club's backline, few fantasy players will be impacted due to his limited offensive upside with zero shots on target in 15 domestic appearances. The defender has been more impactful in Champions League action where he has one goal on three shots (two on target) one assist and one crosses (accurate) in six matches.
