As the 2024-2025 Premier League season kicks off, several key players are set to miss the opening matches due to injuries sustained during preseason or previous campaigns.
1. Moisés Caicedo (Chelsea):One of Chelsea's major summer signings, Caicedo, suffered an injury during preseason, and although his condition isn’t severe, it remains uncertain if he will be fit for the first match. Chelsea will hope he recovers quickly to bolster their midfield
2. Reece James (Chelsea): Another significant absentee for Chelsea is Reece James, who is dealing with a hamstring injury. His absence will be a considerable blow to Chelsea's defense, given his importance to the team
3. Emiliano BuendÃa (Aston Villa):BuendÃa is out for an extended period after tearing his cruciate ligament. This injury is a huge setback for Aston Villa, as BuendÃa has been a pivotal player in their attack
4. Rasmus Højlund (Manchester United):The highly anticipated new signing for Manchester United, Højlund, will miss the start of the season due to a hamstring injury. The club hopes he will be back by the end of August
5. Callum Wilson (Newcastle United): Wilson, who has been a consistent goal threat for Newcastle, is dealing with a back injury. His absence could affect Newcastle’s attacking options early in the season
6. Nicolas Jackson (Chelsea): Chelsea's injury woes continue with Nicolas Jackson, who is sidelined with an ankle injury. This is another significant absence for the Blues, especially in attack
7. Aaron Wan-Bissaka (Manchester United): Manchester United's defensive options will be limited, as Wan-Bissaka is struggling with an injury he picked up during the preseason. His availability for the early matches remains doubtful
8. Igor Thiago (Brentford): Brentford’s new signing Igor Thiago is dealing with a meniscus injury, which will keep him out of the start of the season. This will be a setback for Brentford, who are looking to integrate him into their squad
9. Tyrell Malacia (Manchester United): Another Manchester United player who will miss the first few games is Malacia, who is recovering from knee surgery. His absence will affect the team's defensive depth on the left flank
10. Sven Botman (Newcastle United): Botman, a key figure in Newcastle's defense, is recovering from cruciate ligament surgery. His absence will be a significant blow to Newcastle’s defense, especially with other injuries in the squad.
11. Boubacar Kamara (Aston Villa): Kamara is another key player for Aston Villa who is out with a knee injury. His absence will be felt in Villa's midfield, particularly with the team already missing BuendÃa
12. Fraser Forster (Tottenham Hotspur): The Spurs' backup goalkeeper, Forster, is dealing with an ankle injury. While not a starter, his injury leaves Tottenham with fewer options in goal should anything happen to their first-choice keeper
13. Abdallah Sima (Brighton & Hove Albion): Sima is out with a hamstring injury. Brighton, who rely on their depth to compete with the top teams, will have to cope without him in the early stages of the season
14. Solly March (Brighton & Hove Albion): Another blow for Brighton is the absence of Solly March, who is recovering from a knee injury. His creativity and work rate will be missed in the team's wide areas
15. Josh Dasilva (Brentford): Dasilva, a central midfielder for Brentford, is out due to knee surgery. His absence will be a challenge for Brentford as they seek to build on their solid performances from last season
