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Laurent Koscielny was withdrawn midway through the first-half of yesterday’s trip to Leicester after sustaining a head injury.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 Fellow forward Dwight Gayle was also withdrawn at St James’ Park after sustaining an ankle knock but is expected to be fit in time for Gameweek 4.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Similar to Chelsea’s Hazard, Romelu Lukaku has also withdrawn from international duties for Belgium due to a small injury.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 Louis van Gaal has since stated the Spaniard was withdrawn due to cramp.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Newcastle right-back Daryl Janmaat was withdrawn with just three minutes left of Saturday’s clash against Palace after picking up a knock.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Danny Rose was withdrawn midway through the second-half of yesterday’s home loss to Liverpool with a leg problem.

    City & Chelsea both very quiet. Good settled squads right there.

      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Great business from both. Bought good players in the positions they need, and got it done early.

      Negredo may be leaving City

      indeed.. everyone playing catch up right now in terms of real quality in depth

      City may regret that.

      It's like homework: don't leave it to the last second kids, else you'll get screwed

    Random question but if I activate my wildcard today and bring in players for their price rises, can I then sell them on four days later, recoup the money and still change my team before the next premier league match?

    1. VougieDipond
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      you can change them 4 times minute if you like

    2. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Of course. But you only make 0.1 for every 0.2 they rise (to sell I mean)

    3. Podge
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Yep but you need a double rise to profit so wont be many of them

      1. Brian (Not the Messiah)
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        too late already to be honest...

    4. flippetyflop
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Any idea as to what players will rise double?

      1. Brian (Not the Messiah)
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        dream team + Moreno.

    Welbeck turns down Arsenal for a full time job in Tesco

    1. reece
      • 13 Years

      Just were he should be!

      1. Mr_Partridge
        • 11 Years

        Superb

      2. Yome

        Haha

      3. Tim Canterbury

        oh yeah thats ment to go with it

        1. Mr_Partridge
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          great job

    2. Brian (Not the Messiah)
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Welbeck spotted shopping at ASDA. This deal could go down to the wire.

  4. JK - Cønt ⭐
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    are either of Saint's defensive signings likely to be a threat to Clyne?

    1. reece
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Yoshida and Bertrand I think

    2. Think Tank
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      More likely Yoshi at threat.

    3. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I'd think clyne would be one of the first names on the team sheet

  5. Dr Dream

    Just head a rumour Yaya > United...

    2. Camp No No

      YaYa... Sanogo? In exchange to Welbeck I assume? 😉

    3. Camp No No
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I just heard this too.

      From you. 😀

    It's not United that we hate. It's the previously smug fans who now want to support City/Chelsea instead, but know it would make their mates tease them even more.

    1. Podge
      • 14 Years

      Hate is the path to the dark side

      he forgot to bring a quilt

    4. Camp No No
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Well, he is losing CL football. Again. Maybe no manager thinks he's got the CL level, as he is always sold when his team makes it to the CL?

      Maybe he really just doesn't have that level? 😯

  9. Exilizer
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    So falcao 10.5-11.5?

    1. Walsh
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Sounds about right.

      1. Exilizer
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Any less and he would be in my team over rooney in a heart beat.

    2. La Roja
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      11m min I guess

    3. Lawrø
      • 13 Years

      I predict 12m

      11 my bet

      i've got 12.1 waiting for him and a FT

  10. Ed
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Have Arsenal made an approach for a forward yet? Surely they're going to buy another striker

    1. reece
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Welbeck

    2. Podge
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Welbs maybe

      1. Podge
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Also Huntelaar rumours

          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          31 is not an age to try and speed up for the prem for your first taste of it imo.

          1. Not Irish
            • 12 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            Agreed. Although he's not a player who relies on athleticism. Pure poacher.

            1. In Like Flynn.
              • Has Moderation Rights
              • 15 Years
              11 years, 3 months ago

              Fair point. I think Welbeck would be better for them.

              1. Not Irish
                • 12 Years
                11 years, 3 months ago

                Agreed. I just hope we're not that daft. Sounds like his agent is kicking up a fuss. Nothing more.

            1. Not Irish

              Correct.

                  11 years, 3 months ago

                  Carvalho or Strootman. Vidal or Moutinho would also suffice.

                  We don't need another #10. Especially an old diva from City.

        If Welbeck go to Arsenal, his 6.9 price looks really good ... don't you think? 🙂

          Wouldn't fit into my attacking line of Aguero, Costa and Rooney.

              Even I am french and I haven't heard of him, must be playing in League 2 somewhere.

                • 12 Years

                He doesn't exist. And neither does Alan mcmilan

                  • 14 Years
                  11 years, 3 months ago

                  All right, purely a joke then, everybody fell into the trap

            • 12 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            To be honest, I have never heard of Alan Macmilan either.

        11 years, 3 months ago

        Any news on RVP, is he actually injured?

        How are they going to fit everyone into attack?

        1. Not Irish
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Surely the knee is a real worry with us bringing Falcao in.

        2. VougieDipond
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Ballague mentioned the potential knee op he needs earlier on SSNHQ

        3. Blue Lion
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          He is such a Van P!

        4. La Roja
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          They will play 0-4-6

          Simple

          1. Camp No No
            • 12 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            Looks a bit lopsided, but that left flank is fearsome!

            I can imagine them all standing there, trying to lure the opponent to play the ball to that side while De Gea stands alone against 5 on 0 attack from right. 😀

        5. RamaJama
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years

          He's Arsenal surprise signing. Therefore Falcao in a hurry to united.

      6. Yome
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Harry Redknapp didn't stop for the car-window interview 🙁

      7. BruLee
        • 13 Years

        Guys please be realistic, there is no way Yaya is going to Manchester United.

        1. Brian (Not the Messiah)
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Did you just say Yaya is going to United?

        2. The Machine
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          There was no way falcao was joining them either

          1. BruLee
            • 13 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            Who said anything about Falcao? Yaya is a unique player that Manchester City heavily relies on. Do you actually think he's going to Manchester United of all clubs?

            NO FCKING WAY

            1. Not Irish
              • 12 Years
              11 years, 3 months ago

              Getting on now. No way we'd be interested in the first place.

                I think it's the other way around, no way he'd be interested in the first place.

              There is a massive degree of silliness in this rumour. Why would City sell one of their players to an opposition team?

              Well they wouldn't.

              If Arsenal don't sign a proper centre forward it shows them for a bunch of jokers. Even Wenger wouldn't dare pretend to be in the title race when that useless Sanogo is leading the line.

              Are the dark days at Old Trafford now over ?...I remember nearly a year posting in dismay when United lined up with a midfield of....

              Januzaj Cleverley. Giggs Young

              It caused a bit of a hoo haa with United fans in denial at what was in front of them..Shocking state of affairs, i'm just amazed it's taken so long to get things moving...

                  Maybe...The hoo haa was when I said most clubs in the prem, including those at the bottom, wouldn't swap midfields with United.....Sadly I still think it's now the case with the defence...unless ?

                      Teams sometimes wander into complacency, it's exactly what happened at United....Would you sooner have Vlaar and Senderos at Villa or any two of the back three who played on Saturday at United....?...no competition as far as I can see...Hlw did it come to that ?

                  Has the falcao deal been done yet?
                  Did Manchester United pay the money for Rojo? Surely he can't play until he gets a work permit and what else.

                  #SSN say #efc want to sign Cleverley on loan but #mufc want permanent deal. Villa willing to pay £8m fee but wages could be an issue

                    I'd have thought £8mil included a few years wages.

                    Everton are in no position to play hard ball anymore. Only mid table clubs get such deals.
