Bruno Fernandes injury update: Should you pick him for FPL Gameweek 36?

Bruno Fernandes has been one of the few bright sparks in a dismal season for Manchester United.

While Ten Hag discussed Fernandes' potential absence on Monday night, the Dutch coach admitted he may well be available in some capacity.

Speaking in his press conference, Ten Hag stated: «After the game, we had an issue with Bruno so he is a doubt for Monday, but he will fight to be a part of this game, as we know with Bruno. Never rule him out for any
