Axel Tuanzebe
27-Year-Old
Burnley
Premier
Plays second half in Carabao Cup
Tuanzebe (quadriceps) featured in the second half of Tuesday's 2-1 Carabao Cup victory against Derby County, confirming he is back available for Burnley.
ANALYSIS
Tuanzebe missed the beginning of the season with his new club due to a quadriceps injury that he has now recovered from. The defender played the whole second half in Tuesday's Carabao Cup victory and is now an option for coach Scott Parker moving forward. That said, Tuanzebe will likely hold a rotational role for the Clarets, so his return will not impact the starting squad.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Set for Old Trafford departure
Manchester United are expected to release Tuanzbe in the summer, according to The Manchester Evening News.
ANALYSIS
This shouldn't be a surprise, as Tuanzebe has failed to replicate an impressive youth career at the top level. He seems likely to continue his career in the Championship or overseas rather than in another Premier League team.
