Injuries

The Treatment Table – Gameweek 3

With the first international break of the season already underway, we scour the Premier League treatment rooms to assess the players who picked up injuries over the weekend action.

Arsenal
Laurent Koscielny was withdrawn midway through the first-half of yesterday’s trip to Leicester after sustaining a head injury. Arsene Wenger reckons the Frenchman “should be alright” in a week, while the Gunners boss also revealed Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain (calf) and Mesut Ozil (ankle) picked up problems in the 1-1 stalemate.

Aston Villa
Skipper Ron Vlaar was subbed off due to a calf complaint in Villa’s win over Hull, Paul Lambert has confirmed.

Chelsea
Oscar was unavailable for the Blues’ trip to Everton in Saturday evening after being ruled out with an ankle problem. Eden Hazard has since pulled out of the Belgium squad with a “small injury”.

Crystal Palace
Marouane Chamakh is set to be sidelined for a month with the hamstring problem picked up during the weekend draw at Newcastle. Fellow forward Dwight Gayle was also withdrawn at St James’ Park after sustaining an ankle knock but is expected to be fit in time for Gameweek 4.

Everton
Similar to Chelsea’s Hazard, Romelu Lukaku has also withdrawn from international duties for Belgium due to a small injury.

Man City
Summer signing Fernando was subbed off during the first half of Saturday’s home loss to Stoke with a groin problem, Manuel Pellegrini admitted post-match.

Man United
Initial reports suggested Juan Mata was replaced with three minutes remaining of United’s draw at Burnley with a hamstring problem. Louis van Gaal has since stated the Spaniard was withdrawn due to cramp. The Red Devils’ boss also confirmed Angel di Maria was subbed off as a precautionary measure after sustaining a knock on his calf.

Newcastle
Newcastle right-back Daryl Janmaat was withdrawn with just three minutes left of Saturday’s clash against Palace after picking up a knock.

Stoke
Peter Odemwingie was forced off with a knee problem just 20 minutes after appearing off the bench in the Potters’ win at City.

Tottenham
Danny Rose was withdrawn midway through the second-half of yesterday’s home loss to Liverpool with a leg problem.

      Sanogo at 5.0 wasn't enough?

      2. cramps
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        if i was a starting striker at arsenal i'd probably be priced at 1.5m, but that still wouldn't have been a bargain 😉

    2. GlasgowFF
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Could be 1 million and he wouldn't be worth it.

    Need to do it soon or won't be able to afford, but:

    Terry > Ivan
    Eriksen > Siggy
    Mata > Haz
    -4 ?

    4 Krul
    Jones Terry Shackell Chester PVA
    Ramsey Albrighton Mata Henderson Eriksen
    Rooney Jovetic Costa

    1. thischarmingman
      • 12 Years

      Thinking of a hit to get in Ivan as well. Not sure if I should..

      1. Baa
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Should be worth it!

  7. The Mandalorian

    Van Gaal stopped Welbeck to QPR as he didnt want him to join a rival club.

      LMAO

    buffon great save

  9. thischarmingman
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    With two FT I'm not sure if I should use them now, or hold on.

    A) Mata -> Sterling
    or
    B) A + Dzeko > Naismith and Ward > Ivanovic (-4pt)
    C) Wait..

    Got 0.9m in the bank. What would you do?

    Krul 
    Chester, Ward, Debuchy
    Sigurdsson, Ramsey, Mata, Fábregas, 
    Rooney, Diego Costa, Dzeko
    Subs: Guzan, James, Wisdom, Moore

    1. Theatre_Of_Screams
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Sterling for Mata and Naismith for Dzeko. Those two are what l have just done. Surely Naismith at 5.3 is just too good to miss.

  10. Theatre_Of_Screams
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Next gameweek, Costa (Swansea H) or Sterling (Villa H) as captain?

    1. Mulder
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Costa bro

    2. Ad4m
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Wait for news on Villa defence, if Vlaar's out then Sterling

  11. GlasgowFF
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Just in from work. Is it some kind of wind up that Arsenal are signing Welbeck?

    He is nowhere good enough for a team that is a long way behind them at the moment.

    Very strange indeed.

    1. New Ghost
      • 11 Years

      wenger will mold him into the next sturridge

      #clutchingatstraws

    2. Mr_Partridge
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Welbeck has been held back last couple years, has talent and certainly better then Sanogo

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years

        No shit. 😀

        1. Mr_Partridge
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Didn't Wenger sign a young wasteful winger who grew into the best striker in the world?

          Yes he did

          1. theloveburglar
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            are u comparing danny welbeck with thierry henry?

            1. Mr_Partridge
              • 9 Years
              9 years, 8 months ago

              I'm just saying Wenger can and has a track record of making players better.

              1. RabMac
                • 10 Years
                9 years, 8 months ago

                I tend to agree and would not rule out the possibility of Wenger working his magic again.

      2. GlasgowFF
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        On what I have seen he is a lower half Prem player, and that is being kind.

      3. Licky
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        He isn't that great on the ball, or around a ball for that matter.

      1. Licky
        • 11 Years

        It's a smokescreen, they've actually beaten Arsenal to the signing of Zigic.

          RVP - Past it
          Falcao - Ex Ex Athletico aka woefull. Just look at Torres after he left Pool...
          Rooney - Midfielder
          Rafael - Perma injured

          Absolutely Gink. Paid too much but just getting those players in is a good start.

        What is this like? Mata, Bartley > Zaha, Ivanhoe

          Good. More likely to out score the other 2.

            • 13 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            God I hope so. My last transfer cost 3pts - though I recognise that many here can claim worse.

        Vidal to Manchester United is the big transfer

        1. Zasa
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          It can't be!

        2. LMNO
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          would be the cake to put all that icing on

        3. Podge
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Be awfully surprising if they managed to keep it this quiet but fingers crossed

        4. Not Irish
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Would be a scintillating bit of theatre from Woody if so.

            9 years, 8 months ago

            You on hunt for 4 mill defender?
            Maybe in light of united start blind will be classed as 4 mill

          Ben Arfa to Hull, you have to be kidding!

          JT's dog just seen you asked my rank this year. It's currently a pathetic 180k

            I saw that Gudetti was joining Celtic and genuinely felt sorry for him. I hope he realises how rubbish the SPL is at the moment.

            Guaranteed championship medal though.

            1. JT's Dog
                9 years, 8 months ago

                Why is he moving to Inverness after them?
