Listed to bench
Xhaxa (ankle) is on the bench for Sunday's match against Fulham.
ANALYSIS
Xhaxa is back on the team sheet Sunday as expected, with the midfielder earning a spot on the bench for the contest. He will likely test his legs before starting again, typically a starter when fully fit, one of the better anchors in the Premier League.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
AC Milan want him
AC Milan have shown interest in Xhaka, according to Kicker.
