UCL Fantasy MD4 Injuries
We look at the some of the major absentees for MD4 of UCL Fantasy. Reminder: remember to use manual substitutions after Tuesdays’ games to ensure that you have a fighting fit XI!
Premier League
Chelsea
The Blues go into MD4 relatively 100%, only missing Pulisic, who will be out until December.
Liverpool
The Reds’ injury woes are well publicised.
They are definitely missing Oxlade-Chamberlain, Gomez, Keita, Alexander-Arnold, Van Dijk and Shaqiri. Skipper Henderson is all definitely out. Alexander-Arnold is currently the top scoring defender in UCL Fantasy so he will be a huge miss.
On the doubtful list are Salah, Rhys Williams and Thiago. Salah is only just back in training after a 10plus day layoff; this game may be too soon to rush in Thiago also.
Manchester City
Ake is a long term absentee for City, who otherwise looks injury-free and settled.
Mendy and Fernandinho are doubtful but neither are definite starters even when 100%.
Manchester United
Shaw and Jones are definitely out.
Pogba and Lingard are doubtful but neither are seriously considered in UCL Fantasy.
Bundesliga
Bayern Munich
The European Champions are facing a lengthy injury list to their top players.
Davies and Kimmich are both out until at least 2021. Both are popular picks in UCL Fantasy so do take note!
Tolisso and Hernandez are also definitely out for MD4.
Borussia Dortmund
No major concern except for Delaney, who will be out for 1 more month.
Borussia Moenchengladbach
The game’s top scoring forward Plea is out because of COVID-19. Bensebaini, the game’s 4th highest scorer with 25 pts, is also out.

Leipzig are missing Hartmann, Hwang, Laimer, Klostermann and Halstenberg as they visit PSG, knowing that a win there can possibly secure qualification.
La Liga
Atletico Madrid
Herrara and Vrsalijko are long term absentees and are unlikely to return for the Group Stages.
