Comes off bench against Lille Buendia (undisclosed) created one scoring chance as a substitute during Thursday's UEFA Europa League win over Lille.

Impact Buendia was reserved for the last few minutes of the midweek clash after leaving with a minor problem in his previous appearance. He has made nine consecutive Premier League starts on the left flank, so he could bounce back at the expense of either John McGinn or Jadon Sancho in the next few matchups. However, the Argentinian is in deficient form with no goals or assists over his last seven league games.

Impact Buendia is still not an option from his injury but at least seems to be recovering well, with the attacker only expected to be out a few more days and be fit soon. That said, the midfielder could return ahead of the international break, a good sign after starting in their past two games. Evann Guessand is likely to be added to the starting XI in his place until Buendia is fit again.

Impact Buendia assisted the only goal in Sunday's victory against the Citizens before suffering a significant ankle injury that is expected to sideline him for some time. The forward was seen walking on crutches and will likely be assessed in the coming days to determine the exact extent of the injury. While he is sidelined, Jadon Sancho or Donyell Malen could see increased playing time for the Villains.

Impact Buendia would earn an assist on the opener early in the match but would leave the game just 10 minutes later, suffering an injury in the contest. This is a rough development for the midfielder after earning two consecutive starts, starting in six of his 11 appearances this season. He was replaced by Jadon Sancho, a possible replacement if he misses more time moving forward alongside Donyell Malen, Harvey Elliott and Evann Guessand.
