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Laurent Koscielny was withdrawn midway through the first-half of yesterday’s trip to Leicester after sustaining a head injury.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 Fellow forward Dwight Gayle was also withdrawn at St James’ Park after sustaining an ankle knock but is expected to be fit in time for Gameweek 4.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Similar to Chelsea’s Hazard, Romelu Lukaku has also withdrawn from international duties for Belgium due to a small injury.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 Louis van Gaal has since stated the Spaniard was withdrawn due to cramp.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Newcastle right-back Daryl Janmaat was withdrawn with just three minutes left of Saturday’s clash against Palace after picking up a knock.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Danny Rose was withdrawn midway through the second-half of yesterday’s home loss to Liverpool with a leg problem.

      haha iturbe running at players in their 50-60s and seems proud on scoring

      1. Yome
        • 14 Years

        Great Baggio assist 😉

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

      Can someone explain something re price rises. How is it decided the value of your player once they have risen. For example I had siggy from the start and now he is 6.5, but I could transfer him for 6.2. Also Fab value 9.2 and selling value 9.1. Then there a load of players who have risen a little and they are just what I bought them for....

      Ta in advance.

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

        You get half of the price rise, rounded down.

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

        For every 0.2 one of your players rises, you can sell him for 0.1

      3. Jimmers
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        You only get 50% of the increase in their price - rounded down

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

        There's a faq/rules page on the FPL site. Best to read those before playing the game 😉

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

        You only get 0.1 in resale value for every 0.2 rise

      6. RSe
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Cheers all! 4vets you're probably right 😀

      Surely its only a matter of time before a FHRITP

      1. Harry Ball Bag™⚽⚽…
        • 15 Years

        ..?

    15. Sunny 😎
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Keep Rooney or sell for Falcao? 😛

      1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        sell

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

          sell

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

        Sell, until Falcao's knee implodes.

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

        Probably sell for Falcao i reckon. LVG might player Rooney deeper and his legs are going a bit. Plus, he hasn't had a shot on target in either of the last 2 games! I have the same dilemma as you, btw.

        1. Sunny 😎
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          It's a tough choice but Falcao will the main man like Persie was under Fergie.

          If he is reasonably priced then I think i'll get him

        -> Welbz

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

      Zeki Fryers joins #CPFC for £3million, meaning #THFC will rack up approaching £30m for him, Dawson, Livermore, Falque & Sandro. Not bad that

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

      So Mata is gone then for his owners?

      I'm caving in to something I should have done ages ago and getting Fab. No chance either is changing in price tonight is there?

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

        My 1st Transfer of the season - get rid

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

        i'm keeping mata, but i have fab and sterling as well. the two players i want in are silva(or possibly nasri) and ramsey, but mata's fixtures over the next two are telling me to stick for now

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

          He was really poor on Sat, it's always painful holding a player hoping they'll play themselves into form

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

            painful, yes, and expensive too if he drops while ramsey rises. however, i did consider mata to be a better decision than ramsey for the first 6-8 gameweeks and i will give him that time to prove me wrong before i let him go.
