FPL GW3 injury news latest featuring Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester United and more

The Premier League produced some entertaining fixtures once again in GW2 last week, with some shock results stealing the headlines.

Liverpool and Manchester United both went another week without a win in the Premier League, with Jurgen Klopp's side drawing 1-1 at home to Crystal Palace and United being embarrassed at Brentford, losing 4-0 to the Bees. Liverpool forward Darwin Nunez was sent off for headbutting Joachim Andersen at Anfield, meaning he will be missing from the Reds' next three games.

Chelsea's N'Golo Kante limped off with an injury in the Blues' feisty 2-2 draw with Tottenham last weekend, whilst Spurs' Cristian Romero is an injury doubt for GW3. Phillipe Coutinho also had to be withdrawn from Aston Villa's clash with Everton, whilst a handful of other players also picked up knocks ahead of Fantasy Premier League GW3.

Each FPL manager gets one free transfer ahead of GW3, so you must choose carefully when making your desired change. GW3 in FPL commences on Saturday, August 20 when Spurs host Wolves 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 20.

Here's the latest injury and availability news across every Premier League team ahead of FPL Gameweek 3, with information gathered from the official FPL website, and is correct as of 11:00 BST, Friday, August 19, 2022.
