GW1 of the Premier League season produced some exciting performances and interesting results but, as expected, we saw a few injuries as well.
Thiago sustained an injury in Liverpool 's 2-2 draw away to Fulham, Chelsea's new signing Kalidou Koulibaly was subbed off as he couldn't continue and West Ham 's goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski was also withdrawn through injury. A few other players picked up knocks as well, whilst a few players are returning from injury layoffs ahead of Fantasy Premier League GW2.
Each FPL manager gets one free transfer ahead of GW2, so they must choose carefully when making their desired change. GW2 in FPL commences on Saturday, August 13 when Aston Villa host Everton at 12:30 pm BST UK time, meaning the deadline for transfers and selecting your starting XI will be at 11:00 am BST UK time on Saturday, August 13.
Here is the latest injury and availability news across every Premier League team ahead of FPL Gameweek 2, with information gathered from the official FPL website, and is correct as of 11:00 BST, Friday, August 12, 2022.
