Djed Spence

Spence is expected to play with a protective mask after suffering a broken jaw prior to the season finale against Everton, David Ornstein of The Athletic reports.

Analysis: Spence got hurt after a collision during the midweek clash with Chelsea, in which he logged 22 minutes as a substitute. While he may continue to play, he could see his playing time limited if Destiny Udogie and Pedro Porro are selected again on the flanks. Despite some promising appearances early in the season, Spence has failed to make an impact lately, ending the campaign in inconsistent form.

Starting in UCL

Spence (calf) is in the starting lineup to face Atletico Madrid on Tuesday.

Analysis: Spence achieved a full recovery from the issue that left him out of the previous two games. The defender, who is expected to feature as a wing-back, will aim to improve on his UCL averages of 0.8 chances created, 2.8 balls recovered and 1.1 clearances per game. With Destiny Udogie (hamstring) currently sidelined, Spence is likely to remain in contention with Archie Gray and Souza for a spot on the left flank going forward.
