Premier
Makes bench Sunday
Guessand (knee) is on the bench for Sunday's clash against Brentford.
ANALYSIS
Guessand passed his late fitness test after manager Oliver Glasner expressed optimism about his return and confirmed he would need to come through two training sessions before a final call was made, earning a spot in the squad in line with the positive update provided earlier in the week. The forward has primarily served as a rotational piece since joining the club, contributing one goal and one assist across six appearances, and a bench role represents the most logical first step in his return.

Targeting Shakhtar return leg
Guessand (knee) will not be available for Sunday's clash against Bournemouth but is pushing hard to feature in Thursday's UEFA Conference League second leg against Shakhtar Donetsk, according to coach Oliver Glasner. "Evann won't be available for Bournemouth definitely, but we hope maybe for the second leg against Shakhtar Donetsk and then, of course, until the end of the season. He's very motivated, working hard in rehab, and we know what injury he has, it's a very aggressive way that he can play a few games for us, but he wants this as well, so we want it, he wants it."

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could head to Crystal Palace
Aston Villa could allow Guessand to move to Crystal Palace, according to The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
Guessand hasn't adjusted well to life at Villa Park, and there's a chance he might leave the club to join Crystal Palace on a swap deal that would send Jean-Philippe Mateta the other way. Guessand has struggled to play regularly with Aston Villa, but he'd have a clearer path at regular playing time with the Eagles.
