Vermaelen unavailable for Fulham match

Arsenal continues to be without key reserves as Thomas Vermaelen joins Mikel Arteta, Thomas Rosicky, Nacho Monreal, and Nicklas Bendtner in being unavailable for the Fulham match.

In addition to these key reserves, Arsenal will also be missing Aaron Ramsey and Theo Walcott. While this isn't great for squad depth, it is great for fantasy managers who won't have much rotation to worry about with Serge Gnabry/Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain the only real uncertainty for Week 22. This situation will be short lived however, as Vermaelen, Monreal, Arteta, and Bendtner are likely to be available for Week 23 while Rosicky could go in an emergency with a mask protecting his recent facial surgery.

Silva likely to miss Champions Cup derby

David Silva is expected to miss the International Champions Cup game against city rivals United in Texas on Friday.

City take on Jose Mourinho's men at the NRG Stadium in the early hours [3:05am BST] but the Spanish playmaker is expected to sit this one out after picking up a groin injury in training. Pep Guardiola is not prepared to take any risks with the start of the new Premier League season a little over 3 weeks away and Silva will be rested as a precaution. However, new signings Kyle Walker and goalkeeper Ederson could be in line to make their debuts while Gabriel Jesus has recovered from the fractured eye socket he sustained playing for Brazil. Leroy Sane is also back following nose surgery but Ilkay Gundogan is still missing due to a serious knee ligament injury [ruptured ACL].

Glenn Whelan leaves Stoke for Villa

Glenn Whelan has officially moved from Stoke City to Aston Villa on a permanent transfer in a deal that could net the Potters £2 million if incentives are hit.

The news that the 33-year-old Whelan is leaving the Britannia Stadium for Villa Park seems to fan the rumors that Mark Hughes has a new holding midfielder lined up in the form of former Aston Villa man Fabian Delph. Stoke City have been rivaling West Brom for Delph's signature in a move reported to be worth around £10 million and this is likely an indication that the Potters have won the race.

Everton defender ruled out until 2018

Everton confirm Ramiro Funes Mori will miss the majority of 2017/18 after suffering a setback in training.

The Times [UK] correspondent – Paul Joyce – revealed last week that Everton could be forced back into the transfer market after Funes Mori had more surgery in Barcelona to address continuing problems in his left knee. The defender originally damaged his meniscus while representing Argentina in a World Cup qualifying game back in March, but following a small medical procedure, he was expected to be ready for pre-season. However, in a statement by the club on Wednesday, they confirmed Funes Mori faces even more time out, although specific details have not been released: "[He] will require prolonged rehabilitation of a minimum of six to nine months." The setback leaves the Toffees a little short defensively, particularly on the left-hand side, and Koeman will want to address the issue ahead of the season opener [vs Stoke City] with no cover for Leighton Baines.

Lucas Leiva switches Liverpool for Lazio

Liverpool officially confirmed the sale of midfielder Lucas Leiva in a £5 million move to Serie A side Lazio.

The 30-year-old was Liverpool's longest-serving player after arriving at the club in 2007, going on to make 346 appearances for the club. But the Brazilian has been linked with a move away over the past three transfer windows following Brendan Rodgers' departure, and Lazio has been interested from the start. Said Leiva: "Liverpool as a club and Liverpool as a city is a unique place. I think it's different from everywhere. The fans are a big part of the club, probably the most important part of the club, and without them Liverpool wouldn't be the same club I would say."

Kouyate to start season in the treatment room

West Ham United have been dealt an injury blow after midfielder Cheikhou Kouyate suffered a 'freak' knee injury that will force him to miss the start of the season.

The Senegal international suffered the injury during the club's pre-season training camp in Austria and, according to manager Slaven Bilic, will be out of action for around a month. Kouyate was a key man last season and will be greatly missed with the Hammers first three matches of the term all away fixtures, including the opener against Manchester United at Old Trafford. Speaking to Mirror Football on Kouyate's injury, Bilic said: "It is a big shame that Cheikhou got injured in one of our early training sessions and it was out of nothing. He did his knee and he is going to miss the first few games of the season. It was a freak injury and it is a blow for us. He doesn't need surgery and the injury is not a bad one, but he needs rehab now."

Blow as Barkley is ruled out for a month

Ross Barkley will miss the start of the new Premier League season after going under the knife to remedy the groin injury which has hampered his pre-season progress.

The 23-year-old was not part of the squad which recently played in a sponsor's game in Tanzania while Ronald Koeman confirmed earlier this week that the Everton midfielder would remain at Finch Farm to undergo further treatment. The news prompted many to speculate whether Barkley, who has not signed an extension to his current deal, could be on the move with Tottenham being heavily linked to the England international. However, the club released a statement on Wednesday confirming Barkley has had a surgical procedure to correct the problem: "The surgery has been a success and he is expected to be able to return to play in approximately four weeks." All being well, Barkley should be available for the away trip to Manchester City in game week two or the match at Stamford Bridge five days later.

Arsenal down Bayern Munich on penalties

Arsenal drew 1-1 with Bayern Munich in regulation and won the tie 3-2 on penalties as they faced off with the Bundesliga champions in China in the International Champions Cup pre-season tournament.

Robert Lewandowski scored a 9th minute penalty as the German champions dominated the early going. They had a second goal wrongly ruled out due to an incorrect offside call. Arsenal generated some solid chances themselves with Mesut Ozil and new arrival Alexandre Lacazette both forcing good saves from reserve goalkeeper Tom Starke. Arsenal left it late to equalize as Alex Iwobi won the ball in midfield, sent an outlet to Aaron Ramsey and then hustled into the box to score Ramsey's cross in the 4th minute of stoppage time. Emiliano Martinez saved two Bayern penalty attempts and saw another miss the target as Arsenal won the penalty shootout 3-2.
