Fabian Schar - Avoids broken ankle Schar (ankle) did not break his ankle following his injury in Wednesday's match against Leeds, but is still expected to miss a lengthy period, Keith Downie of Sky Sports reports.

Impact Schar's exact recovery timeline remains unclear, though the initial tests have provided positive news after there was fear of a broken ankle as a worst-case scenario. The defender is unlikely to feature over the next few weeks while he undergoes further assessment. Meanwhile, Malick Thiaw and Sven Botman could feature at center-back, with Dan Burn (ribs) adding an option assuming he recovers sooner than Schar.

Jayden Bogle - Won't play in FA Cup Bogle (calf) won't be an option for Sunday's FA Cup match against Derby County, manager Daniel Farke told media Thursday. "Don't think Bogle will be a topic. Not back in team train...

Impact Bogle has been sidelined for the last two matches, and he won't have the chance to return in the FA Cup. His next chance to feature will come in the EPL against Fulham on Jan. 17, but if he's out, expect James Justin to continue playing at right-back.

Sam Byram - Dealing with back injury Byram is dealing with a back injury and is uncertain to play Sunday at Derby County in the FA Cup, Daniel Farke told media Thursday.

Impact Byram is nursing a back injury but was an unused sub in the 4-3 loss to Newcastle United on Wednesday. The defender won't offer much fantasy upside, as he's logged just seven minutes all season in the EPL.

Dan Burn - Back on grass, still weeks away Burn (ribs) is back on the grass running but is still a few weeks away from making his return, coach Eddie Howe said in a press conference, according to Scott Wilson from The North...

Impact Burn was spotted running on grass in recent days as part of his rehabilitation process following the fractured rib he suffered against Sunderland in mid December, but the defender is still weeks away from making his return to competition. A return before the end of the month is still possible, and he will likely resume his starting role once deemed fit to feature. Until then, Malick Thiaw is expected to take on a larger role in central defense, with Fabian Schar (ankle) likely out for months, even though Lewis Miley also featured in that spot against Leeds United and could get another chance in a more central role.
