Dominic Solanke

Solanke (hamstring) will miss Tuesday's clash against Chelsea but could return for Sunday's final fixture against Everton, according to coach Roberto De Zerbi. "Solanke is not good yet. Not available. He feels something and I don't want to take the risk for this game. We hope Sunday he can be available for one part of the game."

Analysis: Solanke's continued absence is a frustrating development after he had been targeting a return for Tuesday's fixture, though De Zerbi's comments offer some encouragement heading into the final weekend of the season. The striker has had a difficult year with injuries, and the club is clearly unwilling to rush him back before he is fully ready. Mathys Tel, Randal Kolo Muani and Richarlison are expected to continue covering in the attack for Tuesday's clash against Chelsea.

Eyeing Chelsea match for return

Solanke (hamstring) is eyeing a return when facing Chelsea on May 19, according to manager Roberto De Zerbi. "He's improving quickly, I don't know for this game, we hope for the next game at Stamford Bridge."

Analysis: Solanke is set to miss another match as he deals with a hamstring injury, but will not remain out the rest of the season, instead expected to return when facing Chelsea next week. He will still need to train and continue to boost his fitness, as they will want to make sure the forward is completely fit after a year full of injuries. He has been a starter as of late, so expect Mathys Tel, Randal Kolo Muani and Richarlison to start in the attack due to his absence.
