Evann Guessand

Analysis: Guessand passed his late fitness test after manager Oliver Glasner expressed optimism about his return and confirmed he would need to come through two training sessions before a final call was made, earning a spot in the squad in line with the positive update provided earlier in the week. The forward has primarily served as a rotational piece since joining the club, contributing one goal and one assist across six appearances, and a bench role represents the most logical first step in his return.

Could play Sunday

Guessand (knee) is a late call for Sunday's match against Brentford, according to manager Oliver Glasner. "But we hope that Evann Guessand returns to the squad on Sunday. It's looking good, but he has two training sessions to come through. We want him to get a few minutes, so he can be an option in Leipzig."

Analysis: Guessand is trending towards a return Sunday, as the forward is working on a clean bill of health as he trains the next two days. This will likely lead to his return Sunday, although the club will likely still subject him to a late fitness test to confirm his fitness. He started in two matches before the injury, although the forward has mainly served as a rotational piece this campaign, earning one goal and one assist in six appearances (three starts) since joining the club.
