Injuries & suspensions update ahead of Gameweek 13: Jarrod Bowen uncertainty, Erling Haaland hopeful
DREAM TEAM brings you all the latest injury, suspension and availability news ahead of Gameweek 13 in one easily digestible dose.
David Moyes was unable to provide much certainty around Jarrod Bowen’s (£5.2m) availability ahead of West Ham’s favourable match-up with Burnley this weekend.
The Hammers’ boss told reporters that he “hopes” his top scorer is available for the trip to Turf Moor but a final decision will be made tomorrow.
The 20.6%-owned midfielder is among the most-popular players in the game right now so a sizeable chunk of Dream Team bosses have a big decision to make.
Michail Antonio (£2.6m) will be sidelined for “a couple of weeks” having picked up a knee injury on duty for Jamaica.

Both Erling Haaland (£7.7m) and Ederson (£3.7m) have trained with Manchester City this week having incurred niggles during the international break.
In regards to the prolific Norwegian poacher, Pep Guardiola said: “He trained yesterday with some niggles but today we have the last training and hopefully he can be part of it.”
It would be a big surprise if the treble-winners’ No9 didn’t feature against Liverpool this Saturday lunchtime.
Gabriel Jesus (£5.2m) came through a competitive game for Brazil unharmed and is therefore expected to be involved for Arsenal against Brentford.
Martin Odegaard (£4.9m) has “progressed well” and should also make the squad while a late decision will be made on Ben White (£4.4m).
Aaron Ramsdale (£3.4m) will start between the sticks for the Gunners as David Raya (£3.7m) is not permitted to play against his parent club in the league.
The Spanish goalkeeper is likely to start against Lens in midweek.
Andre Onana (£3.7m) is ready to face Everton on Sunday and Erik ten Hag may also be able to call upon Luke Shaw (£4.9m) for the first time since mid-August.
However, Rasmus Hojlund (£3.9m) is scheduled to undergo a late fitness test.

Yves Bissouma (£2.6m) is suspended for Aston Villa’s visit to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium while his midfield partner, Pape Matar Sarr (£2.2m), faces a race against time to recover from an issue that developed while away with Senegal.
In more positive news for Spurs, Destiny Udogie (£2.6m) is said to be “fine” despite withdrawing from Italy’s squad.
As for Unai Emery’s side, John McGinn (£3.4m) trained today and, barring any adverse effects, should feature this weekend.
The Scotland international is Dream Team’s ninth-best midfielder right now.
Emi Martinez (£3m) returned from Argentina duty with “a little bit of pain” but is expected to pull through without missing any games.
Taiwo Awoniyi (£2.3m) is facing a lengthy spell on the sidelines having undergone groin surgery.
Steve Cooper could only say that the Nottingham Forest striker would return this season but he’ll certainly be out for at least three months.
Kaoru Mitoma (£3.9m) was pictured in training on Thursday but Roberto De Zerbi has ruled the Japanese winger out of Brighton’s visit to the City Ground.
In better news, Lewis Dunk (£2.5m) is available for the Seagulls.

Eddie Howe confirmed Kieran Trippier (£5.4m) is fine ahead of Newcastle’s home game against Chelsea – the reliable right-back is Dream Team’s top defender this season.
However, the Magpies’ gaffer kept his cards close to his chest in regards to Alexander Isak’s (£4.2m) condition, refusing to give an indication either way in regards to the Swedish striker’s chances.
Lewis Hall (£2.6m) is not eligible to face his parent club, adding to the Magpies’ long list of absentees (see below).
Christopher Nkunku (£4m) and Romeo Lavia (£2.5m) are both close to making their Chelsea debuts but this weekend comes to soon – Levi Colwill (£2.6m) is fit and available.
