Goncalo Ramos is expected to return to Ruben Amorim’s options soon after tests on the left-calf discomfort that ruled him out of Thursday night’s Europa League trip to Bournemouth.
The forward will miss the third matchday of the competition’s league phase, but an MRI scan produced no negative findings. The result offers a more encouraging outlook for Amorim, with no further detail given on a potential date for Ramos’s return.
Samuel Chukwueze faces a longer wait. The winger has undergone specialist consultation over an issue with his left hip and has begun an infiltrative treatment programme.
A further examination has been scheduled in between 10 and 15 days to assess how Chukwueze is responding. His absence will therefore extend beyond the immediate European fixture, leaving the coaching staff to monitor his recovery before deciding on the next stage of his return.
