David Moyes has revealed that Lukasz Fabianski and Robert Snodgrass could return on Wednesday to face Liverpool at the London Stadium. The Gaffer told reporters at Rush Green this afternoon “We’ve got a few injuries, still one or two out but there is some good news, Lukasz Fabianski is very close so could feature. I’m going to make that call tomorrow but he has trained the last few days and it would be good to get him back.”
He added “Snodgrass has trained today, he’s had a bit of a ligament injury and we hope he is going to be OK”
Michail Antonio and Angelo Ogbonna are also thought to be fit after coming on against West Brom at half time in the FA Cup defeat.
This week probably comes too early for Ryan Fredericks also recovering from a thigh injury.
On Masuaku the manager said last week “He’s had fluid drawn out of his knee a couple of times, and I knew that on Wednesday night he was only going to ever be able to play 60 minutes.”
Andriy Yarmolenko also suffering from a thigh is likely to be out until late February as is Jack Wilshere groin and hip problem.
Felipe Anderson is also likely to be out until late February with an injury to his back with Moyes saying last week “A problem with his back from the landing which he had [vs SUFC] which looks as if it’s going to keep him out for a while, probably four weeks, we think”
The Anderson injury couldn’t have come at a worse time. I think he was responding well to the appointment of Moyes and we’ve really missed him. He shouldn’t be lumped in as one of the lame, lazy or indifferent in my opinion. Get well soon.
