Could return against Man City
Cook (hamstring) is making progress but will not be available for Saturday's clash against Fulham, with coach Andoni Iraola monitoring his condition ahead of the subsequent fixture against Man City, according to Jack Hillman of Nerve Sport.
Analysis: Cook has been sidelined for around two months with a hamstring issue and while his recovery is heading in the right direction, the Fulham fixture comes too soon for him to feature. Manager Iraola will assess where he is in his recovery after the weekend before making any decision on his involvement against Man City next week, with the midfielder hoping to contribute something meaningful in the final fixtures of the season after a solid run of starts before the injury struck.
To train with teammates next week
Cook (hamstring) is eyeing a return to team training next week and remains out for Sunday's match against Crystal Palace, according to manager Andoni Iraola. "Lew, I hope next week starts training with us. It's taken a little bit more time than we wanted with this injury."
Analysis: Cook has been partially trained but has yet to make the jump to training with his teammates, leaving him out for another match. However, the midfielder is expected to return to training next week, potentially leaving him as an option for their match against Fulham on May 9. After two months out, he hopes to return for the final three games of the season, seeing a decent run of starts before his injury.
