Kurt Zouma - Returns to trainingZouma (personal) was back with the squad ahead of Thursday's clash with Tottenham. Manager David Moyes told reporters, "Kurt Zouma is back in training and we're happy to have him b...

ImpactZouma should be back in contention for the starting XI after having dealt with a home invasion during the previous week. While Zouma isn't much of an attacking threat, he has just seven shots (four on target) in 12 appearances, he should rack up plenty of clearances as he is currently averaging 5.3 per match.

Michail Antonio - Remains out versus SpursAntonio (knee) will not be an option against Tottenham on Thursday. Manager David Moyes told reporters, "There is no Antonio, he's not back fit yet."

ImpactGiven the short week, Antonio probably shouldn't be expected back in time to face Fulham on Sunday. The forward has already missed three matches due to his knee problem and looks poised to be out of action for another pair of contests. Antonio will have to wait a little longer to break out of his current 11-match goal drought dating back to Aug. 26 versus Brighton.

Eric Dier - Left off injury reportDier (undisclosed) was not mentioned in manager Ange Postecoglou's pre-match presser ahead of Thursday's matchup with West Ham United.

ImpactConsidering Dier has been an unused substitute six times this season and has logged just 146 minutes of Premier League action, his return to the squad is unlikely to significantly impact the starting XI. Barring an injury elsewhere on the backline, Dier will be hard-pressed to haver a significant impact this season.

Pape Matar Sarr - Could return SundaySarr (undisclosed) won't be ready to face West Ham United on Thursday but might be an option for Sunday's matchup with Newcastle United. Manager Ange Postecoglou told reporters, "P...

ImpactSarr will be sidelined for his third straight contest but at least has a target return date in mind. The midfielder has been a mainstay in the starting XI this season and should be in contention to reclaim his spot on the pitch once given the all-clear. Bryan Gil figures to be dropped from the starting XI once Sarr is ready to play.
