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Laurent Koscielny was withdrawn midway through the first-half of yesterday’s trip to Leicester after sustaining a head injury.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 Fellow forward Dwight Gayle was also withdrawn at St James’ Park after sustaining an ankle knock but is expected to be fit in time for Gameweek 4.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Similar to Chelsea’s Hazard, Romelu Lukaku has also withdrawn from international duties for Belgium due to a small injury.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 Louis van Gaal has since stated the Spaniard was withdrawn due to cramp.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Newcastle right-back Daryl Janmaat was withdrawn with just three minutes left of Saturday’s clash against Palace after picking up a knock.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Danny Rose was withdrawn midway through the second-half of yesterday’s home loss to Liverpool with a leg problem.

    I do wonder whether City have left themselves short up front. If (when) Kun gets injured they'll be down to Dezko and Jov... Yes they've got a lot in midfield but so do Arsenal

      Has Negredo gone then?

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

        Off to Valencia apparently.

      Just play Yaya up top

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

        This, or just behind a front 2, his 'natural' position

    3. Saniul

      11 years, 3 months ago

      Dzeko and Jovetic are two very good strikers. They could move to a 4-5-1 and play Nasri/Yaya in the hole in such a case.

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

        Yeah, they could but considering the noise that other teams are generating by not strengthening up top it's interesting that City seem to be immune to it.

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

      I think Dzeko and Jovetic with Negredo coming back is enough cover. Isn't 4 strikers all better than Giroud enough for a squad?

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

        Negredo on his way...

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

          Don't think he will. Let's see..

    5. Dr Dream
      • 13 Years

      Don't even bother with the "if" bit...

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

        He'll be fine until I transfer him into my FPL team...

      Gutted with that one

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

      I still have him, but the 58th minute substitution is worrying me, probably Poch doesn't like him much.

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

        I want him out but his price drop has made it hard

        Poor assumption to make. Lallana was regularly subbed.

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

          true, was he not the most subbed off player of the season last year? at least for soton

            • 12 Years

            As a Celtic fan I really hope this is true and he can recapture the form he showed earlier in his career. 😀

      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. Sarnab

        Yaya to Raheem

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

        Get Falcao 😛

        Sell Yaya and get yourself some money to play with

      3. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
        • 14 Years

        Tricky. Yaya could be taken out - I don't see him doing as well. Get Sterling in for him and upgrade Naismith

        1. Mak_Gold
            11 years, 3 months ago

            Thanks, guys. Yaya to Sterling it is.

        The guys in the studio here are tracking the flight routes of private planes.

        One apparantly just left Milano, destination England (de Jong, Manchester?). There's also one that left Dortmund some time ago, heading towards London, but now suddenly changed its course northwards (Reus?).

          I didn't think anybody could easily obtain private flight plans?

        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

        Would you rather own Bony or Pelle in FPL?

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

          Bony

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

            My transfer would be Debuch + Bony to Ivan + Pelle for free

              Or if City signs Falcao. Don't really want to strengthen a rival team but it would be funny

                Wenger scouting for Maradonna, Valderama, Baggio, Del Piero, Trezeguet, Zanetti... Expect a panic buy before 11pm 🙂

                  no need to buy anyone if there is no good options

                  good work from wenger, not buying just to keep people happy

                  Crappy player. Inter has been trying to get rid of him for the last three years. He's an attacking player who always goes back with the ball instead of dribbling and moving forward.

                  Jack of all trades attacking middy 188cm,left footed, good dribbler,decent header, agile, very mobile for his height.

                  Still hasn't reached his full potential, 26 y/o, still has his best years ahead of him
