Here is the list of the latest football players injuries, which might be helpful when you place your bets:

1.Dan-Axel Zagadou

22-Year-Old Defender Borussia Dortmund Bundesliga

Injury Knee Est. Return 10/16/2021

Trains with team Wednesday

Zagadou (knee) was on the training pitch for portions of Wednesday's first-team program.

ANALYSIS

Zagadou continues to work his way back from a long-term knee injury and probably shouldn't be expected back in the squad for another few weeks. Additionally, fantasy players should anticipate the defender will be utilized in a substitute role even once given the all-clear, making him a low-end fantasy option.

2.Sofiane Boufal

28-Year-Old Forward/Midfielder Angers Ligue 1

Injury Knee Est. Return 9/26/2021

Out against Marseille

Boufal (knee) is not in the squad for Wednesday's match against Marseille.

ANALYSIS

Boufal couldn't recover in time for Wednesday's match, which isn't too surprising on a short week. The hope is that he can get a day or two of training in before the weekend and return to his usual role at Troyes. In his place, Azzeddine Ounahi is getting his first start of the season.

3.Edmond Tapsoba

22-Year-Old Defender Bayer Leverkusen Bundesliga

Injury Ankle Est. Return 10/16/2021

Rejoins team training

Tapsoba (ankle) completed portions of team training Wednesday.

ANALYSIS

While it's certainly a step in the right direction, Tapsoba is still expected to be out of action until October at the earliest. Last season, the defender started 29 of 31 appearances for the club and should garner regular minutes in the starting XI once given the green light to play.

4.William

26-Year-Old Midfielder VfL Wolfsburg Bundesliga

Injury Knee Est. Return 1/8/2022

Begins individual training

William (knee) was on the pitch for some individual work Wednesday.

ANALYSIS

William suffered a torn ACL last May meaning he should still be expected to remain on the shelf until closer to the 6-9 month mark. As such, fantasy players shouldn't be anticipating him back in the match-day squad until 2022, though a spot in the starting XI wouldn't be out of the question once cleared to play.

5.Bartosz Bialek

19-Year-Old Forward VfL Wolfsburg Bundesliga

Injury Knee Est. Return 10/16/2021

On training pitch Wednesday

Bialek (knee) completed individual training work Wednesday.

ANALYSIS

Bialek continues to recover from knee surgery back in April but has progressed to the next stage. Still, the forward should be considered out indefinitely until he is able to join first-team training sessions. Even once cleared to play, Bialek's lengthy layoff will likely mean a few substitute appearances before getting a crack at the starting XI.

6.Valon Berisha

28-Year-Old Midfielder Reims Ligue 1

Injury Ankle Est. Return 9/26/2021

Limps off early with ankle injury

Berisha limped off and was replaced in the eighth minute of Wednesday's match versus Lille with a suspected ankle injury.

ANALYSIS

Berisha couldn't enjoy his first start of the season for long and suffered an early problem. While the player was able to walk off the pitch under his own power, he had to immediately wrap up and ice his ankle. The short turnaround between games this week could force him to miss out on the weekend as well and if that happens Hugo Ekitike could be the next man up in the middle of the park.

7.Yangel Herrera

21-Year-Old Midfielder Espanyol La Liga

Injury Thigh Est. Return 9/25/2021

Remains sidelined Wednesday

Herrera (thigh) will be unavailable versus Deportivo Alaves on Wednesday.

ANALYSIS

With the quick turnaround for a mid-week clash, it shouldn't come as a surprise to see Herrera still on the shelf. The midfielder has yet to get onto the pitch for Espanyol this season and appears no closer to playing at this point, especially with Saturday's meeting with Sevilla right around the corner.

8.Pere Pons

28-Year-Old Midfielder Deportivo Alaves La Liga

Injury Groin Est. Return 9/25/2021

Unavailable against Espnayol

Pons (groin) will miss Wednesday's clash with Espanyol.

ANALYSIS

After starting the first two matches of the year, Pons finds himself on the shelf for a second consecutive contest due to his groin problem. Without Pons in the squad, Mamadou Loum and Tomas Pina will hold down defensive midfield roles against Espanyol.
