No quotes but the Telegraph claim Chelsea fear Diego Costa could be ruled out for the next three weeks after breaking down in training.

Just posting it as they reported it. I'll leave you to consider how real those fears are.....

Liverpool update

"Joe Allen is training and looking really well, Emre Can is back, Glen Johnson is back in. So that side is looking healthy.

"Dejan [Lovren] will hopefully be fine for the weekend . We'll have to see tomorrow how Dan[iel Sturridge] is . We just need to see by tomorrow where he's at and then we'll take it from there.

"He has obviously been out for a long time, nearly six weeks. He is working tirelessly with the medical team - I have got an incredible sports science and medical team here.

"They really focus in on his rehabilitation. He's a top-class talent and he'll be looking forward to getting back once he's ready."

From Auntie;

Stoke Manager Mark Hughes: "Glenn Whelan has a fracture in his leg. It is a blow for him and us because we are likely to be without him for four to six weeks."

[fantasyfootballtips]

The word from @FPL_TheSource is that Diego Costa has spent the week training in isolation this week and could feature against Manchester Utd. However, we have had a tip that Schurle is being touted as a possible lone striker at Old Trafford so for fantasy football players this could be a great opportunity to bag a few points from a cheap midfielder.

BBC: Pardew ... revealed that striker Cisse Papiss is "touch and go" for the Liverpool match.

[Darbyand]

Mourinho in press conference says Costa plays tomorrow.

Emmanuel Adebayor has been given permission by Tottenham to return to Togo for personal reasons.

This means the 30-year-old will miss Thursday's Europa League tie at Besiktas, although he was already a doubt because of fitness issues.

Tottenham did not divulge any further details, stating in a tweet it was a "private matter".

Liverpool update
Possible of a few returns this weekend or soon after (Sterling, Johnson, Lallana, Gerrard, Sturridge, Flanagan & Allen) - probably best to read the quotes re any individual rather than have me try to summarise.

Arsenal - Arteta and Debuchy - both out for around 3 months.
