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Laurent Koscielny was withdrawn midway through the first-half of yesterday’s trip to Leicester after sustaining a head injury.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 Fellow forward Dwight Gayle was also withdrawn at St James’ Park after sustaining an ankle knock but is expected to be fit in time for Gameweek 4.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Similar to Chelsea’s Hazard, Romelu Lukaku has also withdrawn from international duties for Belgium due to a small injury.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 Louis van Gaal has since stated the Spaniard was withdrawn due to cramp.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Newcastle right-back Daryl Janmaat was withdrawn with just three minutes left of Saturday’s clash against Palace after picking up a knock.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Danny Rose was withdrawn midway through the second-half of yesterday’s home loss to Liverpool with a leg problem.

    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
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I predict 12m

    4. Ron_Swanson
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      11 my bet

    5. LMNO
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      hoping for 5.5 actually

      i've got 12.1 waiting for him and a FT

  2. 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

        Also Huntelaar rumours

          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.

              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.

  3. jernej93

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

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

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

      Business all wrapped up then.

      Striker problem solved!

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

      Sanogo is not enough for them

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

      Tried to google his entire name, he doesn't exist haha 🙂

      1. The Machine

        Did this earlier today everyone fell for it

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

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

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

            He doesn't exist. And neither does Alan mcmilan

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

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

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

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

    Does Falcao know the wages are not tax free? #TaxiToManCity

  7. Scratch

    11 years, 3 months ago

    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.

      Read Sky Sports

      1. Scratch

        I said proper centre forward, I made no mention of that Welbeck reject 😉

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

          Ok

    2. BruLee

      Agree. Sanogo is crap!

  8. Dr Dream

    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...

    1. In Like Flynn.
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years

      Taken that long for the Glazers to sell enough shares.

      1. Dr Dream
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        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 ?

        1. In Like Flynn.
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 15 Years

          I think you're right Wakey. Some major work to be done there.

          1. Dr Dream
            • 13 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            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 ?

            1. JT's Dog

                Could article I posted on my history which kinda talks about this, Neville interviewing David brailsford from team sky cycling

        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.

          Go on Glen. Happy for him he deserves to be playing somewhere.

        #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

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

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

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

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

        Is Wenger coaching Javier Zanetti 11 or World 11 in tonight's friendly?

            What's happening?

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

          I'd think so. Where he starts is another question, though.

      7. Who Ate All Depays?
        • 12 Years

        Lovren or Moreno as a replacement for Cahill...need to do it in order to fund Siggy move

        I think United are in for more of a ride. Still hours to go. This seems very calculated, almost as if Woodward and United wanted to cash in on some massive feel-good moment for the club and the fans after the dour starting notes.

        How hard would it really be to tell all the concerned parties to wait until deadline day to announce, one by one.

        1. Timtastic03
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Another expected at 9:30. This could be BS

        2. Carrick Doesn't Deserv…
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          They have said repeatedly on Sky that there are no more deals for United.

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

            Doubt it massively, we still need a CB or CM. There is no way that Van Gaal would buy another striker instead of a defensive player, just because a world class striker is available.

            1. Carrick Doesn't Deserv…
              • 12 Years
              11 years, 3 months ago

              4 CBs in Evans, Smalling, Jones, Rojo and then Blackett and Keane as back up. He could leave it at that

              Blind, Carrick, Fletcher, Fellaini, ADM, Herrera can play CM

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

                Quality not quantity. Evans and Smalling are not good enough, Smalling far more so.

                Fellaini is just a body at this point, Carrick will have been just off surgery and Fletcher is doing well enough for someone in his condition.

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

              If he's about to use 60m for another attacking player, he'd better try to use it for the likes of Hummels, T. Silva, etc. With no real leader in the defence, they will be shite. Chelsea have Terry, City have Kompany and United? Johny Evans? Always scred Phil Jones? Phew!

                Money isn't a problem apparently. This just seems very scripted..

            Sky know nothing.

          • 12 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          I hope you're right. The "5, 7 & 9" tweet was surely referring to Falcao. And that was weeks ago. This isn't all as thrown together as it seems.

        If Falcao passes his medical is he ready to start against Qpr or does he need to build match fitness more?

          think he's played all club games so far this season so fit as far as it looks

          He's played in every game at Monaco and scored a couple of goals
