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Laurent Koscielny was withdrawn midway through the first-half of yesterday’s trip to Leicester after sustaining a head injury.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 Fellow forward Dwight Gayle was also withdrawn at St James’ Park after sustaining an ankle knock but is expected to be fit in time for Gameweek 4.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Similar to Chelsea’s Hazard, Romelu Lukaku has also withdrawn from international duties for Belgium due to a small injury.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 Louis van Gaal has since stated the Spaniard was withdrawn due to cramp.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Newcastle right-back Daryl Janmaat was withdrawn with just three minutes left of Saturday’s clash against Palace after picking up a knock.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Danny Rose was withdrawn midway through the second-half of yesterday’s home loss to Liverpool with a leg problem.

    "Lots of people saying Welbeck currently taking medical at Arsenal. I've been told to be wary of writing that. But we'll see."

      I don't believe this - a lot of money for 30-something old unproven in the PL striker.

      Is that a reliable report, mate?

        Haven't got a clue tbh, saw it pass by on Twitter, that's why I also listed the source.

      Played great for Schalke in the 2012-2013 season before his injury run. Pretty crucial to Schalke's CL run these past 2 years & would go great w/ Alexis

          He'll probably be overpriced, might need to adjust to the pace, etc

      Happy with that, Welbeck will do very well in the CF role at Arsenal. We should sell him to Spurs if we sell him.

          BREAKING: QPR sources confirm the team is using the scattergun approach of bidding to sign anyone and everyone.

          Of the eleven that started on Saturday we will probably find only seven (Green, Rio, Caulker, Isla, Fer, Mutch, Barton & Austin) starting against Stoke after the international break and less than half the squad for the Sunderland game still at the club 😆

                • 12 Years
                11 years, 3 months ago

                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

                  Any idea as to what players will rise double?

                    dream team + Moreno.

              • JK - Cønt ⭐
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member

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

                  Yoshida and Bertrand I think

                  More likely Yoshi at threat.

                  • 14 Years
                  11 years, 3 months ago

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

                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.

                  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? 😯
