Leeds United

According to stats website Transfermarkt, Dominic Calvert-Lewin missed 714 days with injuries during his eight-season stint at Everton. That's nearly two full years of absence from a nine-year spell.

Calvert-Lewin missed a total of 111 games across all competitions, with his longest continuous absence coming in the first half of 2021-22 when a broken toe ruled him out between August and the new year.

Last season, he missed 14 games between January and May because of a hamstring injury - the most significant reoccuring issue throughout DCL's career. During his time with the Toffees, he spent six separate spells on the sidelines because of hamstring problems.

Those injuries have taken their toll in recent seasons. In 2024-25 started just over half of the 26 matches he played.

This has played a part in Calvert-Lewin not adding to his 11 England caps and four goals since 2021 - after he helped England to the final of the delayed Euro 2020.

Leeds United

Daniel Farke on Dominic Calvert-Lewin: "We haven't officially announced it yet, but he is more or less with us right now. He has just agreed his terms so he will be supporting us in our first match and he will be a member of our squad from this afternoon.

"We are all pretty happy and delighted that he will wear a Leeds shirt from now on. He is obviously a proven player at Premier League level. As a newly-promoted side, we want to sign players that have already delivered at the top level but are still at a good age and on the way up in their career. These boxes are all ticked by him.

"The key for him right now is to not be over-motivated. We will build his fitness step-by-step so that he is able to find confidence in his body again, but he has shown what he can do and he can be outstanding for us."

A rather downbeat news conference from Nuno Espirito Santo, who says he is "concerned" about the state of his Nottingham Forest squad going into the new season and thinks they need five or six new players.

"[I am] Concerned. We are short of options to give solutions that the game might need is our major concern," he said.

Which is the most clear sign you can have of how the squad feel we can improve."

That's all from Ruben Amorim. Time to head south and Manchester United's opponents on Sunday, Arsenal.

Manchester United

Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim was evasive when asked about potential ins and outs for the remainder of the transfer window.

On Rasmus Hojlund: "He is one more option, we will see. Rasmus is still our player"

On signing another midfielder: "I am really happy with our players, they are working really well. We have different players for the position

Who can play there?: "Maybe Mason Mount can play in that position, but then we are going to find out. But we have players to cope."

Manchester United

Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim on Bruno Fernandes' role this season: "Even last season when he played as a midfielder, he had more shots near the box.

"I think it is a good thing for Bruno to stay in one position. Then he is winning a lot of things. I want Bruno near the ball and that is really important for our team, but sometimes we need Bruno near the goal. We will try to arrange game by game the best players in the best positions."

Manchester United

Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim on their targets for the season after finishing 15th in the Premier League in 2024-25: "We want to return to Europe, but it is hard as a Man Utd coach to say one thing like that.

"We are going to fight for it. We are going to improve, we want to focus game by game."

Everton boss David Moyes says Jarrad Branthwaite has picked up an injury in training. He will definitely miss Monday's trip to Leeds, but Moyes would not elaborate on how long he will be out for.

Manchester United

Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim on new signing Benjamin Sesko: "I am really happy, I think he has great potential, he can play different types of football. I can see Ben being a striker for Man Utd for long period, that is why we paid so much money to have a striker who has a history at this club."

Will he start on Sunday?: "We didn’t have a lot of time but he is ready, physically he is ready, that is a big component in our league. He is ready to play, we will see if he is going to start."

Manchester United opened their 'new' training ground last week following a £50m upgrade funded by Sir Jim Ratcliffe.

Part of the work includes a new news conference room in the main building, with a separate area where media can congregate to grab a drink and some food.

Sir Alex Ferguson used to hold his press conferences in the main area, but downstairs not up as we are now, before switching to the Academy building on the other side of the site.

David Moyes returned to this side when he replaced Ferguson but since Louis van Gaal's time, the news conferences have taken place in the Jimmy Murphy Building, which is next to the first team training pitches.

Arsenal have invested heavily in their squad before this season with six new players through the door.

The Gunners play Man Utd on the opening day in a big match for both teams to open the Premier League season.

Arteta has tried different combinations throughout pre-season so it will be interesting to see what he says about which of the new signings are fit to start.

The one player Arsenal fans will be hoping is ready to go is new striker Viktor Gyokeres who the club will help get the team over the line to win a trophy.
