Here is the list of the latest football players injuries, which might be helpful when you place your bets:
18-Year-Old Midfielder Barcelona La Liga
Injury Thigh Est. Return 10/17/2021
Pens new contract
Pedri (thigh) has signed a new contract with Barcelona, the club announced Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Pedri's new contract will keep him in Catalunya until 2026 and features a 10-figure release clause. The midfielder is the future of Barcelona, and with this contract isn't going anywhere for the foreseeable future.
29-Year-Old Defender Real Madrid La Liga
Injury Knee Est. Return 10/19/2021
Suffers knee injury
Alaba suffered a knee injury during Tuesday's 1-0 loss to Denmark, according to AS.com.
ANALYSIS
Alaba suffered the heavy blow to his knee during Tuesday's match and is doubtful for Tuesday's clash with Shakhtar. This is an even bigger blow for Madrid, who lost Eder Militao over the international break as well. Nacho would likely slot in at center-back with one or both of Alaba and Militao absent.
33-Year-Old Midfielder Cadiz La Liga
Injury Strain Est. Return 10/18/2021
Trains with team
Mari (strain) was spotted in team training Thursday ahead of Monday's trip to Espanyol.
ANALYSIS
Mari was in team training Thursday, no guarantee of any sort of return to action but a good sign for the midfielder. If he is able to return it will likely be to the bench as Tomas Alarcon has done well deputizing in midfield.
26-Year-Old Defender Borussia Dortmund Bundesliga
Injury Groin Est. Return 10/16/2021
"Looks good" for Saturday
Akanji (groin) is looking good for Saturday's clash with Mainz, according to manager Marco Rose.
ANALYSIS
Akanji is looking good for Saturday's clash with Mainz, a good sign for the defender who has played every single minute this season. He will slot straight into the starting XI if healthy, and if he follows the current trend he should play.
30-Year-Old Defender Borussia Dortmund Bundesliga
Injury Toe Est. Return 10/16/2021
Still dealing with toe issues
Meunier (toe) is questionable for Saturday's clash with Mainz, according to manager Marco Rose.
ANALYSIS
Meunier is questionable for Saturday's clash with a toe injury that's been giving him issues over the entirety of the international break. The defender was replaced by Thorgan Hazard, who isn't really a like-for-like substitution but could deputize for Meunier in a pinch.
24-Year-Old Defender FSV Mainz 05 Bundesliga
Injury Shoulder Est. Return 11/21/2021
Surgery confirmed
St. Juste (shoulder) has to undergo surgery and will be out indefinitely, according to managers Bo Svensson.
ANALYSIS
St. Juste will be underdoing surgery after dislocating his shoulder in the final game before the international break. The defender will be a big loss, he was replaced by David Nemeth, who could have the opportunity to break into the starting XI with St. Juste out.
26-Year-Old Defender Mönchengladbach Bundesliga
Injury Groin Est. Return 10/16/2021
Dealing with setbacks
Bensebaini (groin) has suffered numerous setbacks and will be out Saturday against Stuttgart, according to managers Adi Hutter.
ANALYSIS
Bensebaini will be out Saturday against Stuttgart, after suffering multiple setbacks. It's more bad news for the defender who has been dealing with a groin injury, but was inexplicably called up by the Algerian national team either way. He will hope to recover in time for an Oct. 23 clash with Hertha.
30-Year-Old Midfielder Mönchengladbach Bundesliga
Injury Strain Est. Return 10/23/2021
Training injury, out Saturday
Kramer (strain) will be out for Saturday's clash with Stuttgart after suffering a training injury, according to manager Adi Hutter.
ANALYSIS
Kramer suffered the muscular injury while training over the international break. This unforeseen absence could be an issue, though Kramer has somewhat fallen out of favor in recent games, starting on the bench in the last two matches. Kramer is "out for the time being" and there is no immediate time table for his return until more details are known.
