Starting Sunday
Alderete (undisclosed) is in the starting XI for Sunday's match against Fulham.
Analysis: Alderete had to miss the club's last match with some fitness issues and was rested, although he is already back with the team, starting immediately after his week off. He should remain a starter moving forward after the short absence in FA Cup play, starting in 22 of his 23 appearances this season.
Unlikely for FA Cup
Alderete (undisclosed) is not expected to be available for Sunday's FA Cup match against Oxford United, manager Regis Le Bris told media Friday. "Omar struggled with his foot at the end of the Liverpool game," Le Bris explained. "He got a kick two weeks ago, I think. Probably, he will rest this weekend."
Analysis: Alderete picked up a knock in Wednesday's game against Liverpool, and it seems the coaching staff doesn't want to risk him in a Cup game against a lower-league side. Alderete is expected to use the time off to recover ahead of the EPL clash against Fulham on Sunday, Feb. 22.
