Remans sidelined
Cook (hamstring) is ruled out for Friday's match against Manchester United but could return after the international break, according to coach Andoni Iraola. "Cook is still not ready. We have almost three weeks now without a game [after Manchester United] so we want to use that space for him to recover properly and be ready for the next one"
Analysis: Cook has yet to recover from his hamstring injury, which has kept him out of the last four matches, but he could return after the international break. The midfielder is nearing a comeback and should be available for the final stretch of the Premier League season, having started six of the last seven matches prior to his injury. Ryan Christie is expected to start in midfield in his absence, although his minutes could decrease once Cook returns.
Training alone, still not ready
Cook (hamstring) is training on his own and is still weeks away from being ready to return, according to manager Andoni Iraola. "[Lewis] Cook is also still running on his own and will not be ready."
Analysis: Cook hasn't played since logging 10 minutes off the bench against Everton on Feb. 10, and the defensive specialist won't be ready to return until after the international break. Cook, who can play both as a right-back and defensive midfielder, has one assist across 16 league appearances (eight starts) this season.
