Premier League and FA Cup injury updates: Malo Gusto will miss Chelsea’s match against Everton, while Diogo Dalot may be sidelined until the season concludes.

There is still a job to be done, says Slot as Liverpool gear up for title chance.

Enzo Maresca has confirmed that Malo Gusto will miss this Saturday’s Premier League clash with Everton, which will be broadcast live on TNT Sports 1 and discovery+. However, the Chelsea boss reassured fans that the injury is not too serious, and the France international defender could be back in time for the team’s match against Liverpool on May 4.

The Blues are aiming for a top-five finish to secure a place in next season’s UEFA Champions League, currently sitting sixth, just two points behind Newcastle in fifth. “Malo is injured, but it does not look like an important injury,” Maresca stated. “He is already running and doing this outside, but he will not be available for tomorrow. Hopefully, he will be available for the next game.”

In other injury news, Diogo Dalot could be sidelined for the remainder of the season after suffering a calf injury, according to Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim. The defender will miss The Red Devils’ visit to AFC Bournemouth on Sunday, adding to the woes of a side currently languishing in 14th place in the Premier League table with just five games left.

“Dalot is out,” Amorim confirmed. “We don’t know how long he’s going to be out, but he’s out for these next games. There is that possibility he will miss the remainder of the season, but I don’t know. We will check week by week because he works really hard. He can recover quite well, so we’ll see. He has something in his muscle in his calf. He had a sequence of games where he played all the time. We try to manage that, but the players play a lot of minutes and are not so ready to cope with that. Dalot felt something.”

Tottenham’s Son Heung-min remains unavailable as he has not recovered from the knock that kept him out of the last two matches. The forward missed the 4-2 defeat against Wolves and the 2-1 loss to Nottingham Forest. Spurs manager Ange Postecoglou commented, “We don’t have injury problems, as such. The only one is Sonny, trying to work his way back. He’s improving, which is positive for us, but not fit for Sunday.”

On a brighter note for Wolves, manager Vitor Pereira has confirmed that goalkeeper Jose Sa has recovered from the injury that kept him out of the side’s 1-0 win against Manchester United. Sa suffered the injury during the warm-up and was replaced in goal by Dan Bentley, but he could now feature against Championship-bound Leicester City on Saturday. “Sa is okay. He is working with the team and in a condition to help,” Pereira said. He also noted that Jean-Ricner Bellegarde and Hwang Hee-chan are expected to be fit enough to feature.

Meanwhile, Liverpool’s Joe Gomez could return from injury before the end of the season, although he will not be back in time to face Tottenham. The defender has been sidelined since December with a hamstring issue. Slot mentioned, “If his recovery goes well, he might be able to play for maybe the last one or two games of the season. He is not training with the team yet, but he is getting closer and closer.”

In FA Cup news, Pep Guardiola has revealed that Erling Haaland is almost ready to return, although he did not specify an exact date for the striker’s comeback. Haaland suffered an injury to his left ankle during the FA Cup quarter-final win over AFC Bournemouth and remains a serious doubt ahead of the semi-final against Nottingham Forest at Wembley on Sunday. “He is getting better and he is injured and been involved off the pitch as well,” Guardiola said. “He feels better, but I don’t know when he will be back. The injury is not a comfortable one, I would say.”

Finally, Crystal Palace’s Ben Chilwell could feature in the FA Cup semi-final against Aston Villa after recovering from an illness. The Eagles have no new injury concerns ahead of the crucial clash at Wembley. “Ben Chilwell is back and fit after his illness,” said Palace manager Oliver Glasner. “So, we have everyone available. Everyone is in a good mood and looking forward to it.”
