    Antonio Conte (Napoli)
    October 2025

Conte said McTominay needed six ankle stitches and Højlund arrived fatigued with a minor quad strain after international duty, ruling both out to avoid escalation. Conte confirmed late fitness checks failed. With three-day fixture cadence raising soft-tissue risk, staff prioritised fully fit alternatives. Højlund’s recent goal run for club and Denmark informed a conservative call to preserve medium-term availability.

    Ryan Gravenberch (Liverpool)
    October 2025

    Liverpool await scans after Gravenberch was withdrawn at halftime for the Netherlands with hamstring discomfort in a World Cup qualifier against Finland. Ronald Koeman called it precautionary. With Liverpool on a three-match skid and Manchester United up next, his availability is pivotal.
