Available after suspension
Andersen is available for Sunday's match against Sunderland after serving his three-match suspension.
Analysis: Andersen completed his three-game ban by sitting out the league opener against Chelsea and should now return immediately to the starting lineup in place of Jorge Cuenca. The center-back was a regular starter last season, starting 33 matches and contributing an assist while posting strong defensive numbers, including 45 tackles, 36 interceptions, 229 clearances and 19 blocks.
Sent off in stoppage time
Andersen was shown a red card in Saturday's 1-0 loss to Bournemouth.
Analysis: Andersen would initially earn a yellow card Saturday, but after a VAR review, the defender would be sent off via red card. This will end his season, as he will serve three matches on the sidelines, extending into the start of next year's campaign. This will force a change, with Issa Diop or Jorge Cuenca as possible replacements.
