DREAM TEAM brings you all the latest injury, suspension and availability news ahead of Gameweek 35 in one easily digestible dose.

Bukayo Saka was pictured with heavy strapping although the Gunners' winger is accustomed to playing through niggles.

As for the Red Devils, Bruno Fernandes resumed training this week after a rare absence last time out.
The Portuguese midfielder, who features in 17.8% of Dream Teams, is therefore in contention to play.
Marcus Rashford and Scott McTominay also have a chance having returned to training but Luke Shaw has suffered a setback on his road to recovery - Mason Mount is also out.
