Premier
OUT
Injury Strain
Est. Return 2/7/2026
Returns to training
Zrikzee (strain) is back in training and nearing a return, according to manager Michael Carrick. "Josh is back training this week, which is good news. It's the first time he's trained since I've been here, so it's great to have him back. Josh has just been trying to work and get fit around the group. He trained yesterday for the first time and that's as far as it goes with me and Josh. I'm looking forward to working with him and nothing more needs to be said."
ANALYSIS
Zirkzee is yett to feature under the club's new manager but could be back in the team sheet soon, with the forward back in training this week. However, he will need another game or two to regain fitness, not yet an option to face Fulham on Sunday. He could be fit as soon as next weeks match against Tottenham, although he is more likely to fit by the Feb. 10 match against West Ham.
