Despite the concerns, there was positive news as Eberechi Eze appeared to avoid a serious setback after his match-winning strike against Newcastle. Gabriel Martinelli and Riccardo Calafiori were also spotted training with the group, providing much-needed depth. Martinelli’s participation is a relief after he was seen holding his hamstring last weekend, while Calafiori has recovered from a knock sustained in the quarter-finals.
Meanwhile, Mikel Merino remains absent as he continues to work his way back from afoot injury, though there is hope he could feature before the campaign ends.
