Hincapie (thigh) is uncertain for Sunday's game against Manchester United, manager Mikel Arteta told media during Friday's pre-match press conference. "We still have another training session," Arteta said at the Sobha Realty Training Centre, "so we'll see tomorrow, after that, to assess everybody and make a decision, first of all in the squad."

Tagliafico (ankle) will miss at least one month to recover from his injury, coach Paulo Fonseca said in the press conference, according to Le Progres.

Guimaraes (ankle) could be an option for Sunday's clash against Aston Villa since the club will give him every chance to be fit for the game, coach Eddie Howe said in the press conference. "We hope it is not serious; extent of the injury is still unknown, he was reasonably positive after the game, he is the guy that will never rule anything out, we are going to give him every chance for this weekend. We will try and make the right decision with Bruno; he is a pivotal player."

Tagliafico suffered an ankle injury and was forced off at the break in Thursday's 1-0 victory against Young Boys and will likely miss Sunday's clash against Metz, according to Le Progres.

Lee (thigh) is following an adapted training and won't be an option for Friday's clash against Auxerre, the club announced.

Hakimi (personal) will be rested for Friday's clash against Auxerre and work indoors this weekend ahead of Wednesday's Champions League clash against Newcastle, the club announced.

Paqueta (undisclosed) is out for Saturday's match against Sunderland, according to manager Nuno Espirito Santo. "I think it's a situation all of us at the Club have to solve. We always want our best players to be involved, and Lucas is one of our best players, so let's try to solve the situation. My job is to get the best out of all the players."

James (hamstring) is partially in training and close to fully training, according to manager Daniel Farke, per Kyle Newbound of the Yorkshire Evening Post. "Dan yesterday and today part-integrated, close to joining us in full training. Will last a bit until he's fit and ready for games, but good news."

Guimaraes was forced off right before the break in Wednesday's 3-0 victory against PSV in the Champions League due to an ankle injury, coach Eddie Howe confirmed in a press conference, according to Lee Ryder from Chronicle Live. "He's a little bit sore & there's a little bit of swelling around his ankle. We hope it's not serious but it's difficult to know. It's a worry that he's had to come off."

Hakimi (personal) will be a late decision ahead of Friday's clash against Auxerre, coach Luis Enrique said in the press conference. ""Hakimi in the squad? It depends on the training session and I'd like to talk with him because it's important to know how he feels and his state of mind. [...] We'll see if he'll be in the squad tomorrow, it will depend on my discussion with him."
