Expected back Saturday
Wharton (groin) could have a chance to return to action in the next visit to Liverpool after manager Oliver Glasner said "He should be back [for Liverpool away on Saturday] - it was mostly a precaution more or less, [he showed] a little bit of clinical symptoms. I expect him back on Thursday in training when we start to prepare for the Liverpool game and he should be available.", the club reported.
Analysis: Wharton missed Monday's draw against West Ham with the issue he picked up during the previous Conference League clash against Fiorentina. However, he's is now hopeful to avoid a longer absence, which would be great news for the squad's midfield depth. As soon as he's ready to play, he'll compete for minutes with Will Hughes, Jefferson Lerma and Daichi Kamada.
Not an option Monday
Wharton (groin) is out for Monday's match against Crystal Palace.
Analysis: Wharton was forced off in Conference League play last week and will now be sidelined for their next match, not on the team sheet to face West Ham. This is unfortunate for the club, as they will have to do without a regular starter in the midfield, a continuous struggle after only a bench role in his past two appearances. The hope now is that he will make it for the weekend when facing Liverpool on Saturday, leaving Jefferson Lerma and Will Hughes to start in the midfield.
