Absence History
| Month | Reason | Duration | Further Detail | Team |
| Mar 25 | Reason Knee Injury | Duration 2-4 wks | Further Detail Mar 14: 'Nothing new; it stays the same. Matt O'Riley has a little bit of a problem with his knee. He won't be an option for tomorrow - he can use the international break to be an option for Nottingham (Forest).'
Mar 19: 'So, when we talk about the advantages and disadvantages of an Int' break... it's an advantage because he can use it as a recovery time. I think we can use it for several players - Dunk, O'Riley - that we have them available after [the] break.'
Mar 28: 'Lewis [Dunk] will be back, Matt will be back, hopefully, they both will be options for the game. Let's wait until the session today.' | Team ![]() |

| Jan 25 | Reason Knee Injury | Duration <2 wks | Further Detail Jan 23: 'He has a small knee issue. He got a hit on his knee, and it's painful. It's just a time thing - if he's able to overcome the pain.' | Team ![]() |
| Dec 24 | Reason Other | Duration <2 wks | Further Detail | Team ![]() |
| Aug 24 | Reason Ankle/Foot Injury | Duration >4 wks | Further Detail Aug 27: 'It does not look good. [It was a] ridiculous foul. You can't tackle like this. It is a tackle where you take a risk of an injury of another player.'
Aug 29: 'It's like we expected, it's a bad injury. He needs surgery on his ankle; I can't say how long we expect him to be out. We have to look at how the rehab will go, but of course, it's a tough one for us. We [will] try to support him as best we can, [and] we can try to get him back on the pitch as fast as possible. Let's hope he will be back soon.'
Sept 12: 'He's in very good spirits. He has a great character, a great attitude, so immediately after the surgery, he was very, very positive. He is around us in the training ground, he is doing his rehab already, and I think he will be coming back quite fast.'
Sept 20: 'Matt O'Reilly is in very good shape and is also trying to train already in the gym doing different stuff.'
Oct 04: 'The others, the long-term injuries, Matt O'Riley, Pedro, JP [Van Hecke] and James Milner, but he's also an option for this weekend.'
Oct 04: 'He is very positive, and he's making small steps forward, and I think that's very important when you have a bad injury. He's sticking to the plan after his surgery. He's doing his rehab, and we're looking forward to seeing him back on the pitch.'
Oct 24: 'Hopefully, he will post a video soon of him on the pitch. He's close to being back.'
Oct 31: 'Matt is back in training. We have to see when he will be ready for potential playing in the squad.'
Nov 07: 'Matt O'Reilly and Joao Pedro have a 'big chance' of being in the squad.' | Team ![]() |
