Football News, Notes & Injuries

Tanaka was forced off in the second half of Saturday's 5-0 defeat against Arsenal due to problems with his MCL, coach Daniel Farke said in a press conference, according to the Yorkshire Evening Post. "After a tackle in the first half, he had problems with his MCL. He kept going and I hope it's not too bad. I hope the assessment is not too bad. There are a few concerns that it would be an injury but it's normally positive that he could play further on. But we will have to assess him and we will see how long it takes to get him fit and back to full fitness."

Ait-Nouri suffered an apparent ankle injury in Saturday's 2-0 defeat against Tottenham but coach Pep Guardiola hopes he can be available for Sunday's clash against Brighton. "I didn't speak with the doctors yet. It looks like his ankle. We have seven days, hopefully he can recover."

Rutter (undisclosed) missed Sunday's clash against Everton due to a small issue sustained in training on Saturday, coach Fabian Hurzeler said in a press conference.

Iroegbunam (undisclosed) was forced off injured in Sunday's 2-0 win against Brighton, according to Adrian Durham of Talk Sport.

Broja (undisclosed) is close to making his return, coach Scott Parker said in a press conference, according to Burnley Express. "He's not far, not far at all. He's just probably a little bit behind. Like I said, I don't want to risk anything here or take a massive, massive risk with Armando. He just needs a bit more work. Hopefully we can start integrating him, maybe on Tuesday [against Derby County in the Carabao Cup] and we can start seeing him then."
