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Laurent Koscielny was withdrawn midway through the first-half of yesterday’s trip to Leicester after sustaining a head injury.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 Fellow forward Dwight Gayle was also withdrawn at St James’ Park after sustaining an ankle knock but is expected to be fit in time for Gameweek 4.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Similar to Chelsea’s Hazard, Romelu Lukaku has also withdrawn from international duties for Belgium due to a small injury.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 Louis van Gaal has since stated the Spaniard was withdrawn due to cramp.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Newcastle right-back Daryl Janmaat was withdrawn with just three minutes left of Saturday’s clash against Palace after picking up a knock.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Danny Rose was withdrawn midway through the second-half of yesterday’s home loss to Liverpool with a leg problem.

    The Guardian reporting that Arsenal face a 'battle' to sign Welbeck for £18m http://www.theguardian.com/football/2014/sep/01/danny-welbeck-arsenal-manchester-united

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

      The only battle Arsenal face signing any player is against their own inaction.

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

    Falcao's price if he signs.10.5m 11m or 11.5m?

    Blind 5.5 or 6m?

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

      11.5 and 5.5

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

      5.5 and Oop could be great

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

        5.5 but rather have Moreno or Lovren

    3. Fergies fledgling
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      More than Rooney. I reckon 11.5

    4. JWF
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Should be 10.5m in line with Rooney. Hopefully they won't be silly and stick a £11m+ price tag on him.

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

        I think he will be 11m

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

          this. 11m seems would make sense with rooney at 10.5 and sturridge at 11.5

      2. Strawberry Jelavic
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Course they will….

  3. JWF
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Sandro for £6m is a bargain IMO.

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

      Diame for 3.5 is the biggest bargain I've seen this transfer window, bar Lewandowski.

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

        Xabi for 5mill? Kroos for 20mill??

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

          Kroos had one year left and Xabi is 32 with astronomical wages.

      2. 50shades of o'shea
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Nowhere near the biggest but still a great deal for a club like us

    2. 50shades of o'shea
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Agree. He is a good player and still young

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

      Brazil career is dead now

    4. Frank Black
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      He could have become one of the best DMF in the world. Sadly, he was stopped by a bad injury but he can still be a very good DMF.

    • 14 Years

    Cleverley and Anderson still at United?
    Has to go today surely?

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

    Is Declan around ?

    Mate I am in!

    Misunderstood the whole thing. I blame vodka and soda

    1. Declan-
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Here I am. Sounds great 🙂 will you email me on declanmccarthy100@gmail.com with your id and we're set. Welcome to the team.

  6. Touré De Force
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Why doesn't Wenger just buy a top quality striker. I don't get it! Sanchez was a terrible buy, could get a serious striker for that kind of money.

    1. Sleep Talk
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      In Yaya he trusts.

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

      Zzzzz

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

      Because he's Wenger and evokes sympathy

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

      sanchez was a terrible buy two weeks into the season?

      lol

      1. Touré De Force
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        I just don't think he fits Arsenal, he wants to do it all himself.

        1. Otis
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          There have been many times in previous seasons where I wished someone on Arsenal would shoot the ball. Maybe a little selfishness is just what the Gunners need.

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

      Aren't many about to be fair, a lot of the players who were linked aren't actually good enough, and others wouldn't be financially feasible.

      1. Touré De Force
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Weren't they in the hunt for Suarez at one point? Should have just got him.

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

          Suarez always wanted his move to Spain, I'm sure Arsenal would have been a stepping stone like Liverpool, and then there is his volatility.

          1. Touré De Force
            • 15 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            I miss him

    6. Declan-
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Sanchez was a terrible buy? What?

  7. Jones Town
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Would it be madness to keep Mata and sell Ramsey instead?

    Ramsey seemed a bit deep lying on Sunday and United's fixtures still much better...

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

      did you watch United play? Almost fell asleep.

      1. Jones Town
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Yes but he still scored the game before... it surely can only get better?!

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

      I'm thinking the exact same. Ramsey -> Sterling if Mata is decreed fit for the next match 🙂 Play the fixtures.

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

        Or even Tadic, Southampton are up there as well when it comes to fixtures.

        1. Jones Town
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          OK glad I'm not the only one 😉

    3. Touré De Force
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Not a terrible move if you don't fancy him. Still don't rate Mata's chances though.

    4. Grimmaldi - Send in the Clo…
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      It would be madness, yes.

    5. Sidd5
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      United as a team playing horrible.

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

      Mata had a shocker, looked like he'd borrowed someone else's contact lenses

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

    United to make a mega announcement at 9.30 on the day that Messi has a mystery injury...It's all making sense now....

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

      He is playing in a charity match now. His 'injury' could be internationals-related.

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

      Who do you reckon it is?

  9. RoyaleBlue
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Hey guys just thought id put myself out there to join a hockey team if anyone wants?

    Current rank 13k ish

    Krul Foster
    Terry Taylor Pieters PVA Baird
    Haz Sterling Ramsey Siggy Marney
    Naismith Rooney Aguero

    I am also not taking hits this season if that even affects this tournament.

    Thanks

  10. Yome

    Wow Maradona and Messi playing tonight in Rome!

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

      He the signed a Jersey for the Pope today hehe. Gotta love him

  11. Adam

    Jim White is coming on. What's going to be his first cliche?

    Hold onto your hats @ 7/1 is decent!

  12. Captain Shirokov

    Tensions are running high on here tonight. 🙂

    1. Declan-
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Abu v united v a little bit of arsenal 🙂

    2. Bolivian Seaman
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      We need someone like Demi to bring order to the force

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

      Coz Arsenal not signing anyone and United signed 2 🙂

  13. JAC THE CAT
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Need to be bringing Balotelli in!

    1. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Tempted too - have left him out of my WC team due to sterling - but willing to juggle!!!

      1. JAC THE CAT
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Going to play my WC and think at 10 Million he is good value in a very attacking team

        1. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Hmmm. Interseting angle. Is Sterling too much tho?

          1. JAC THE CAT
            • 12 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            I think it would be a good double up with decent fixtures.

            Also Sterling always going up in price and Balotelli at 10 Mill should make it easy to switch in a few gameweeks if needed.

            1. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
              • 14 Years
              11 years, 3 months ago

              True. But he would be dropped for Rooney tho - he has great fixtures. I may be shooting myself in the head taking him out (even tho theyre playing like a bunch of wally's at the mo)

    2. Sidd5
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Looked good.

    3. The Brit.
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Prefer Aguero and Costa 😉

  14. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    This is my WC team at the mo. Any suggestions? It may change following deadline day and internationals of course.

    Guzan - Given
    Jones - Dier - Monreal - Wisdom - Moore
    Siggy - Sterling - Ramsey - Henderson - Marney
    Rooney - Aguero - Costa

    Any input appreciated guys

    Hello people.
    Heard of a team event being brought up.
    UEFA Hockey . Nice job whoever has thought up with it.
    Well Im interested in joining the team.I hope there are spots still up for grabs.
    Btw currently im ranked under 10k atm.
    Hope i make the cut this time out.

  16. Jay_
      11 years, 3 months ago

      A : Jovetic and Henderson
      B: Naismith and Ramsey
      (with Sanchez and no other City player for a WC

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

        Jovetic too much of a rotation risk and hendo is not a great fpl player.

        Naismith in form and so is Ramsey

        1. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          I disagree about Hendo - he has been good so far and has 2 assists. Good value at the mo

    • Mak_Gold
        11 years, 3 months ago

        DDG, Gilks,
        Terry, Debuchy, PvA, Wisdom, Moore,
        Sigurdsson, Fábregas, Yaya Touré, Ramsey, Marney,
        Rooney, Diego Costa, Naismith.

        1 FT, £0.4m in the bank.

        Any ideas?

        1. Mak_Gold
            11 years, 3 months ago

            Anyone?

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

              Downgrade Yaya to spend the money elsewhere

          • goal
            • 11 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            YYT out in for sterling, then maybe save the cash for the likes of Aguero/Falcao/Sturridge for now, will put you in a nice position to get players when in form

          • supersan321
            • 12 Years

            save the transfer mate. two free's is powerful

            Good signing, Faurlin isn't good enough for the premiership

            £10m is a bit more like it. £6m was being talked about earlier and that would've been daylight robbery. Worth at least £10m in the current market (probably more like £12-15m).

          A) silva, fab, pelle (-8 hit)
          B) rooney, haz, caulker (no hit)

          worried about haz/roons falling

            depends on rest of your team i think

              • 11 Years
              11 years, 3 months ago

              A) sterling, rambo, sig, silva, cesc, costa, pelle, weimann
              B) sterling, rambo, sig, haz. wanyama, costa, rooney, weimann

              if i go with B it basically means i will have to play either weimann or caulker

                  Are you English?
                  Do you have a great track record in fpl?
                  Are you willing to dedicate yourself to the team?
                  Will you become involved in long in depth analysis of our opponents?

                  Well none of this matters
                  Join team England for beer, fags and some fighting

                    Blind was good at World Cup nobody can deny that. Scholes slating him is weird though
