Latest Premier League Injuries and Team News

The 2025/2026 Premier League season is already shaping up to be one of the most action-packed in recent memory, with titanic clashes at the bottom and the top of the table happening every week. Already this campaign, however, we have seen a number of players go down with significant injuries, and despite the rise in the quality of sports science and medicine, teams have been unable to keep their star players fit.

From ACL injuries to the likes of Chelsea’s Levi Colwill, to Tottenham having to do without two of their most creative players in James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski, a number of big-name stars are set to be missing for a considerable amount of time. But those two clubs aren’t the only ones to have been hit by the injury curse this season.

Below is a look at every Premier League club’s current injury issues and the players’ expected return dates.

Arsenal

Arsenal have once again had a season troubled by injuries, and they remain without a number of players who are out for an extended period of time. Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus are long-term absentees after suffering major injuries last season, while Noni Madueke is expected to be out for the next few weeks due to a knee issue too.

Martin Odegaard then became another injury victim in the Gunners’ clash against West Ham, and it was confirmed the Norwegian had suffered an MCL injury. Ahead of the Champions League clash against Slavia Prague, Mikel Arteta confirmed that Gabriel Martinelli is still out with injury, while Viktor Gyokeres is a concern given that he had a niggle that forced him off in the game against Burnley.

The Gunners boss did deliver an encouraging update on the fitness of Odegaard, Havertz and Madueke, suggesting that they could return for the north London derby against Tottenham on November 23rd.

Aston Villa

After a difficult summer transfer window that saw the club’s PSR concerns come back to bite them, Unai Emery has had yet more misfortune with Aston Villa come the start of the Premier League season. Youri Tielemans continues to remain out and looks set to be unavailable until after the November international break, while full-back Andres Garcia is an injury concern for Emery too.

Emiliano Buendia became yet another player to hand a blow to his manager however, when he suffered a foot injury in the clash against Manchester City, while Tyrone Mings was confirmed to have suffered a hamstring injury in the defeat to Liverpool at Anfield.

Bournemouth

After a summer that saw a number of key players depart – including the likes of Dean Huijsen and Dango Ouattara – Bournemouth have tried to rebuild under Andoni Iraola, and have picked up some impressive results, not least a victory against Tottenham and now challenging for a European spot. Injuries wise, Iraola has a fully-fit squad to choose from, and will be hoping that it can stay that way after suffering a couple of long-term injuries last season.

Keith Andrews has seemingly gotten into his groove as Brentford boss, first picking up a notable 2-2 draw against Chelsea, before compounding Ruben Amorim’s misery by defeating his Manchester United side 3-1 at home and then beating Liverpool too. On the injury front, the Bees are doing well, although Benjamin Arthur missed the game against Crystal Palace with a minor knee injury.

Aside from that, Brentford’s only other issue surrounds Antoni Milambo who it was confirmed had suffered an ACL injury and has already undergone season-ending surgery.

Brighton and Hove Albion

One of the most well-run clubs in the Premier League, Brighton have a couple of long-term absentees in their ranks. Both Adam Webster and Solly March suffered knee injuries that have kept them out of the new campaign thus far, while Jack Hinshelwood is set for a lengthy spell on the sidelines too. The latter was taken off in the first half of the side’s clash against Bournemouth after injuring his ankle ligaments.

Kaoru Mitoma and Joel Veltman also joined the Brighton injury list, with the former missing Japan’s fixtures during the international break. Similarly, Brajan Gruda withdrew from the Germany U21 squad with a knee injury, while James Milner became the latest injury worry after suffering a muscle problem, so Fabian Hurzeler has a few concerns to worry about.

Burnley

One of the Premier League’s new boys for the season, Scott Parker has had to contend with a couple of key players being out with lengthy injuries. Reports in July revealed that Zeki Amdouni had undergone surgery on an ACL injury, while Jordan Beyer and Connor Roberts have been unable to get onto the pitch themselves this season.

Chelsea

After a summer in which Chelsea lifted the FIFA Club World Cup, Enzo Maresca’s side have struggled with some significant injuries across the pitch, leaving them exposed in some key areas. Their defence has taken a massive hit in recent weeks, with Levi Colwill of course ruled out for the majority of the season, and Benoit Badiashile going down with a muscle problem that is set to sideline him for a weeks more.

Perhaps the biggest blow though, is the news confirmed by Maresca that Cole Palmer is set to be ruled out until mid-November, missing some crucial clashes in both the Premier League and Champions League.

Crystal Palace

One of the most impressive teams in the Premier League right now, Crystal Palace’s defeat of Liverpool was fully deserved and a real testament to the incredible work Oliver Glasner has done. The Eagles are still without the midfield presence of Cheick Doucoure, while Caleb Kporha has remained out for a while too.

Chadi Riad, meanwhile, will be hoping to make his return sooner rather than later. Eddie Nketiah has now joined the Palace injury list too with a hamstring problem, but is unlikely to keep him out for some time, while Adam Wharton missed the Brentford clash with illness but is set for a speedy return by next week.

Everton

Everton boss David Moyes will be desperate for the return of Jarrad Branthwaite, who has proven to be a vital performer for the club and a superb partner for James Tarkowski at the back. The defender has been out with a hamstring injury for a couple of months, and it remains to be seen when he will make his return to shore up the Toffees’ back-line.

Nathan Patterson, meanwhile, picked up a foot injury while playing for the club’s U21s, and is now unlikely to return until after the November international break. The big concern now surrounds Iliman Ndiaye, who scored a wonder goal against Sunderland in the 1-1 draw at the Stadium of Light, with Moyes confirming later that it will be one to monitor.

Fulham

After a few weeks of worrying about the number of injury concerns he has had to deal with, things have slightly eased up for Fulham boss Marco Silva. A number of players have returned including the likes of Emile Smith Rowe and Rodrigo Muniz, while the big question mark right now is how long Antonee Robinson will be out for. The left-back has been side-lined with a knee injury that he aggravated while on international duty with the USA, and it remains to be seen what the timeline is for him to come back.
