Marko Arnautovic: (Thigh) Unlikely for Opener
Arnautovic is questionable to play Saturday against Liverpool because of his thigh injury, manager Mark Hughes said Friday. "Marko Arnautovic is hampered a little bit too, by his thigh," Hughes said. "We hope he will make it but we certainly won't take any risks with him."
Analysis:
Arnautovic suffered the injury during last weekend's friendly with FC Porto, and while it wasn't considered overly serious at the time, he hasn't been able to full train this week because of the ailment. If he's unable to play, his next opportunity will come the following Saturday against Tottenham at White Hart Lane.
