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Laurent Koscielny was withdrawn midway through the first-half of yesterday’s trip to Leicester after sustaining a head injury.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 Fellow forward Dwight Gayle was also withdrawn at St James’ Park after sustaining an ankle knock but is expected to be fit in time for Gameweek 4.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Similar to Chelsea’s Hazard, Romelu Lukaku has also withdrawn from international duties for Belgium due to a small injury.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 Louis van Gaal has since stated the Spaniard was withdrawn due to cramp.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Newcastle right-back Daryl Janmaat was withdrawn with just three minutes left of Saturday’s clash against Palace after picking up a knock.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Danny Rose was withdrawn midway through the second-half of yesterday’s home loss to Liverpool with a leg problem.

    The Falcao deal must be done

      1. GlasgowFF
        • 12 Years

      You bringing in Joe Flacco the Baltimore Ravens QB?

    Is Danny definitely a Gunner, then?

    1. GlasgowFF
      • 12 Years

      Nope.

    2. Declan

      #AFC have agreement with #MUFC for permanent Welbeck signing. Fee in region of £16m, no issues expected with medical & terms #bbcdeadlineday

      Just now from David Ornstein. Normally very reliable.

        • 10 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        like it? I do, as a neutral with a likening of Arsenal. Hopefully his FPL price will hold off for a few weeks til the fixtures pick up to! 🙂

    5. Garcks
      • 11 Years

      If it does go through, he's one hell of a steal on FF at £6.9m

    6. Syd.
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Clubs have agreed a fee

      Looks a done deal

            Yes, because we're obviously not backing him financially. 🙄

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

              If you didn't financial back him you'd finish 17th with the current squad and his lunacy.

      Why not. United have done a good piece of business with the Welbeck deal imo

    4. pundit of punts
      • 11 Years

      Poor decision in letting Danny go.

    The Premier League sure has made up for Suarez's absence. Loads of quality imports

    1. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
      • 12 Years

      More damage to the Engalnd Football team

    2. Syd.

      Nowhere near his level

    3. copps

      loads of quality players this season. surely been more than la liga

  11. HuttonDressedasLahm

    Welbeck = The new Henry

    Hull is smart.

    Don't see them ever really getting relegated.

    Even a mid table treadmill team makes good money. Just need to stay in the PL.

    Look at Newcastle.....

  14. Rödallegabomb ᴿᴮ
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    The Athletico boys could be fantastic long term this season.

  15. Yome
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Even if Welbeck signs, he is not a 100% starter. Sanchez could still play up front, Walcott also...

    1. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      He'll be looking at Wally and Sanchez flanking either him or Gru. Sanchez isnt a striker

      1. Yome
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Wenger bought him to play him as a striker. well I will monitor. So it means Caz to go to the bench with Ozil behind the striker

        1. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          Who knows. If he is a striker, he has a long way to go to prove it.

  16. copps
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    You'd imagine at 346K/week that Falcao is guaranteed to start. RVP more likely to drop out than Mata?

    1. Rödallegabomb ᴿᴮ
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      RvP is set to have a knee operation which will rule him out for most of, if not the rest of the season.

      1. Canadian Football

        • 12 Years

        Source?

    2. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      I don't know who will play around him, but IMO Falcao is now their best player.

  17. Jinswick
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Anyone think this is just United stiffing us with the Welbeck deal - stretching it out to the deadline to then refuse at the last minute.

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      😆 That would be well played to be fair.

    Flair overload in Hull

      • 14 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      This often ends badly though

  19. HuttonDressedasLahm
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Let's face facts. Welbeck is a decent signing, but not exactly a world class striker

    May hep them finish fourth

    Still a crap window for Arsenal

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      signed sanchez? yeah dreadful window mate

      grow up

        1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          you are saying it's a dreadful window? Please expand. Signing sanchez and selling vermaelan for 15m, getting almost £15m for fabregas moving to chelsea and vela going permanently to sociedad.

          Also signing young english striker welbeck

          how is this a bad window for arsenal? come on

          1. HuttonDressedasLahm
            • 14 Years
            9 years, 9 months ago

            It's not "bad" exactly, but it is obvious what is needed

            I don't really support any English team, but probably favour Arsenal over everyone

            Just think they have missed a big chance to push on

            1. Jinswick
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 13 Years

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years

            and don't forget France's first choice RB and a very promising England defender!

            9 years, 9 months ago

            il expand

            there are gaping holes all the way down the spine of that arsenal team

            their keeper is gash in now way world class

            per mertesacker turns like a tractor and is ripped up every big team they come across liverpool putting 5 past them chelsea and city putting 6 past them last season confirm this

            they also lack a midfielder of any steel whatsoever and persist with small technically gifted but weak midfielders.. see the almost yearly defeats to the likes of stoke and anyone else who decide to use their physicality to bully them as arsenals midfield curl up into a little ball

            in the name of christ united took 4 points off ur lot last season in our worst season in near 25 years

            wenger needs to address those issues

    2. Mr_Partridge

    Come on Bruce! Great business lad! I still think we can get top 10 this year especially with these new faces.

    1. The Iron Tulip
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Making some really decent signings, should be a good season for Hull.

      1. 50shades of o'shea
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Definitely! Love Bruce, got a lot of depth in the squad which is very good to see. I hope HBA can reignite his career at hull with the potential explosion he can produce in games!

    The Daily Mail has the two below headlines right on top of each other

    "FALCAO LIVE: £12m loan striker in United medical after agreeing staggering £290,000-a-week wages to link up with Van Gaal"

    "Falcao snubs City and Arsenal to agree £300,000-a-week United deal"

    Is there no editorial team doing quality control on their site?

      This is the Daily Fail, what do you think

      They are all over the shop.

      Arsenal, Chelsea, Man City were all offered him, and they snubbed him due to price and injury concerns.

    I imagine there are some very jerky knees among the scout community this evening 🙂

      wildcarders are going to have to take few shots in the dark on some players I think

    Is DiMaria the player to get for ManU?

      dont know if he'll be given a position where he can score enough

    At 6.9 Welbeck perfect for the third striker spot. Cheaper than Bony and co.
    If only those fixtures were better.

      definitely on the radar for GW8

      They're not bad from an attacking sense imo

      By the time they improve, we will see how he fits in. Thinking the same.

    Team Belgium so far:

    Manager: Shipstontrev
    Capatain: 4vets
    Vice Captain: Gnu
    A Defender's Nightmare
    Grounderz
    Sarnab
    Emperikal
    Colonel-Shoe
    Doosra

    The original Belgium 5 survive from last summer's 3rd place (I think) WC competition and are massively strengthened with new signings.

    You know we're good. You know you want to join us 🙂
