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Laurent Koscielny was withdrawn midway through the first-half of yesterday’s trip to Leicester after sustaining a head injury.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 Fellow forward Dwight Gayle was also withdrawn at St James’ Park after sustaining an ankle knock but is expected to be fit in time for Gameweek 4.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Similar to Chelsea’s Hazard, Romelu Lukaku has also withdrawn from international duties for Belgium due to a small injury.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 Louis van Gaal has since stated the Spaniard was withdrawn due to cramp.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Newcastle right-back Daryl Janmaat was withdrawn with just three minutes left of Saturday’s clash against Palace after picking up a knock.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Danny Rose was withdrawn midway through the second-half of yesterday’s home loss to Liverpool with a leg problem.

      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Absolutely he would, which is why it won't happen. Spurs it is. 😀

    Exclusive – Danny Welbeck's agent insists striker wants PERMANENT move away from Man United http://tlks.pt/LtKQeV #AFC #THFC

    1. Not Irish
      • 12 Years

      Too bad for him he's got a contract to uphold. He'll force nothing.

      1. World XI
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Different year, different market i guess

        1. JT's Dog
            11 years, 3 months ago

            Yeah not like there were any big name forwards for sale this year

        My ears are getting quite tired of eating the name Falcao said every 2 seconds on SSN.

          • 13 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          same on here mate and not just by the united fans... also those of chelsea man city arsenal and every other abu who when he was linked with real madrid city and arsenal thought he was an absolute world beater but now that he's on the verge of united he's now over rated lol

          1. Wilshere Knowledge
            • 12 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            I was arguing about how good Falcao was earlier, albeit a strange position to strengthen.

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

              agreed on that came as a massive shock to me..

              although with hernandez off and welbeck wanting out a striker had to be brought in and u cant turn down a chance to sign one of the very best in world football

              1. Wilshere Knowledge
                • 12 Years
                11 years, 3 months ago

                That's true. I dont understand why LvG would sell Welbeck though, and he must surely revert to 433 at some point?

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

                  welbeck wants out.. i had no problem with welbeck as a squad player but he wants first team football at his age and rightly so..

                  LVG has played a 4-3-3 pretty much his whole career and has said himself its his favoured formation

                  with the players he wants and players returning from injury we should see a change to 4-3-3 yes

      3. Tinmen
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Do we think Jovetic will drop before the next gameweek starts?

        1. LOCO ABREU
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          probably

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

        So Manu doesn't see arsenal as competitor for CL spot?

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

          they do they just dont feel they are strengthening them in any way

        2. TheDogTor
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          United are competing for champs league spot?

      5. ZE GERMANS
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Apparently, we are in for Huntelaar..Arsenal trolling again.

      6. brsauer
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Mata to Sigg or Fabr

        or hold

        1. World XI
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Hold for now

      7. Mojo Rojo
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Sadio Mane has scored 45 goals in 86 games for Red Bull Salzburg :O

        1. LOCO ABREU
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          he's a top signing

          -----tadic----
          long-pelle-mane?

          end of jwp?

          1. Mojo Rojo
            • 13 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            JWP has looked impressive the past few weeks. Would be a shame to see him benched.

        2. World XI
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Has it gone through?

          1. Mojo Rojo
            • 13 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            Looks very likely... Wish Southampton all the best after what they've been through

        3. Miami Monkey
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Can't take that at face value. Salzburg destroy that league. Their strikers get like a hattrick a match

      8. lickwidice
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Ended up doing:

        Bojan --> Naismith
        &
        Chambers --> Clyne

        both were FT's. Good moves?

        Team:
        Bego
        Chester, Terry,Clyne
        Sigurdsson,Mata,Fabregas,Ramsey(Young)
        Naismith, Rooney, Costa

        Any better moves you could think of?

        1. Del Griffith
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          yep, Mata to sterling

          1. lickwidice
            • 16 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            hmmm good one but not worth a hit right? only if FT?

        Rojo's #ManUtd deal stalled as criminal case and third-party ownership create perfect storm: http://bit.ly/1pj14Yy

        1. Wilshere Knowledge
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          What is he accused of?

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

            Assaulting a neighbour with a wine bottle.

            1. Wilshere Knowledge
              • 12 Years
              11 years, 3 months ago

              Wow.

          2. World XI
            • 13 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            Arguing with his neighbor. What he did after is disclosed

          3. Captain Shirokov
            • 14 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            He bottled his neighbour

          4. LOCO ABREU
            • 13 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            75% of the pass belongs to fund of businessman

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

          Falcao to play def?

      10. Ad4m
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        If you're a member and do the Stat comparison Welbeck to Pod it's really close - I think I'd probably go with Pod given the aerial threat

        I certainly wouldn't say that Welbeck is a shoe in for a starting berth

        1. sinik
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          of course he would be. he's not going to leave one bench spot for another..

        2. Ludo
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Welbeck can hold up the ball well, and is also good at bringing other people into play - Podolski is an unbelievable finisher, but can't do either of those things, which is why he's not great on his own up front.

        3. Wilshere Knowledge
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Forget your stats, I watch Podolski, and he cannot play the lone striker role.

      11. reece

        Falcao gonna be on penaltys?

        1. TheSteel
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Hes better than rooney and RvP is probably out

          1. Epic Fail
            • 15 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            Doesn't mean much. There are at least 2 better pen takers than Gerrard for Liverpool.

            1. TheSteel
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 13 Years
              11 years, 3 months ago

              I know i know. Just saying.

            2. MJ6987
              • 15 Years
              11 years, 3 months ago

              Gerrard has a very good record on pens over a long time. No way he's losing them.

        2. Epic Fail
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Doubt it.

        3. Zasa
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          If RVP goes in for surgery, yes.

      12. Davido989
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Welbeck's agent via @talkSPORT - "Danny doesn't want to go on loan. He wants a straight transfer and he has every right to say that."

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

        Man Utd can easily afford falcao's wage now they have got Anderson off the lunch bill

        1. Del Griffith
          • 13 Years

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

          we cant give that waster away ffs cant wait till his contract is up so he can fuk off and go lie on a beach somewhere

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

            rumoured to be going to Burnley on loan

      14. Mike2795647
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        So which is likely to be the better

        Hendo as 5th midfielder with Naismith on bench for 352 formation
        OR
        Welbeck as 3rd striker with cheap benchwarmer midfielder on 343 formation

        1. Epic Fail
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          A

        2. Del Griffith
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          I thought about the Hendo/Naismith rotation and it will obv work but the way both teams are set up they will both do well home and away so I'm just going with Hendo

                I'm friends with him on Snapchat and was wondering what he's doing. Just seems to sit at home all day doing nothing and going to restaurants by himself

              Think Welbeck will surprise Arsenal fans. He got 10 goals last year in a mediocre United team and he was mostly on the wing.

              Run of games at CF for Arsenal with world-class service will inevitably improve his strike rate. His hold-up play is good and he will be more incisive than Giroud. Undoubtedly better than Sanogo

              Gutted he is leaving United actually.

                glad to see someone taking the high road, neither berating welbeck or arsenal for the potential deal. agreed that, despite sanchez/ospina/debuchy/chambers, wenger should've done better and anticipated the injuries....

                WHO THE HELL HAS MADE THIS DECISION? Gifting Arsenal what they need to get in the top four. No idea what the club is thinking, almost like we're massively underrating our own player.

                    I hope to God you're right. Would be horrible to see Welbz off. A real United player who gets the club having come through the academy. Really love the guy.

                Looks like it's all the people on a WC and looking to make some £ on a cheap 2nd choice GK

                  Guzan is not a cheap 2nd choice GK.

                    11 years, 3 months ago

                    He is if you want a 2nd choice to actually plays as none of the £4 mil ones do, not the best choice given that he needs to increase by 0.2 for people to make money which seems unlikely, it's because people are looking at how many points he has from the first 3 games and not the shocking fixtures coming up

                      ya, i'm surprised at how little planning goes into some people's transfers. they just go down the list until they hit the first player that fits their budget.

                  i guess it's possible. would be surprised if he increases by another 0.1 to actually make them any profit though
