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Laurent Koscielny was withdrawn midway through the first-half of yesterday’s trip to Leicester after sustaining a head injury.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 Fellow forward Dwight Gayle was also withdrawn at St James’ Park after sustaining an ankle knock but is expected to be fit in time for Gameweek 4.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Similar to Chelsea’s Hazard, Romelu Lukaku has also withdrawn from international duties for Belgium due to a small injury.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 Louis van Gaal has since stated the Spaniard was withdrawn due to cramp.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Newcastle right-back Daryl Janmaat was withdrawn with just three minutes left of Saturday’s clash against Palace after picking up a knock.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Danny Rose was withdrawn midway through the second-half of yesterday’s home loss to Liverpool with a leg problem.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

      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      he will not become as prolific as Sturridge but I think he can go on a similar upward curve when given a run of games up top

      depends what you need. a defensive attacker or one that scores goals

    Advice?

    Bego (myhill)
    Davies Jones Colocinni (Chambers, Bartley)
    Siggy Mata Sterling Ramsey (Eriksen)
    Rooney, Naismith, Pelle

    My last 3 seasons have been Blighted by Knee-jerks and chasing cash so tempted to stick for now, give Man U boys one more chance and bring in Costa and crew if things don't change

    What to do? Already Giroud>Naismith on Sat evening, 3.3M in bank. After weekend Like Bertrand and Tripper. Lots of questions there but main one is stick or hit?

    1. Andy1
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Davies to go

      Mata to fabregas?

    😆 Redknapp of Armand Traore...

    5Live: "Crystal Palace told us Armand Traore is staying at QPR, because QPR want him. Is that right?"

    'Arry: "Errr.... maybe."

    Great news for Traore! 😀

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

      I like Traore, but whenever I see him, I get 8-2 flashbacks.

  5. cheeky_ash

    So who is getting Welbeck in there team here £6.9M

    Surely 1st choice....unless pods figures?

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

      im waiting to see if and where he plays

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

        I think there is only 1 place for him at arsenal...up the middle.

        Arsenal are rich in wingers I think....especially Walcott close to being fit again.

        Put it this way....he will be in my team if he signs for arsenal.

    I had heard a speculated time of 21:30 BST for the Falcao deal to be wrapped up. That's been and gone. Still just over an hour to go. Any United fans getting nervous yet...?

    BBC

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

      Even if it's not announced by 11, it'll be all over and done with now.

      There's always a few "late ones".

  8. another bad start
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    How much do we think Falcao would be

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

      11m

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

      10.5

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

      11 imo

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

      10.5/11

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

      12m

    6. Bucky Barnes
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Less than or equal to Rooney

    7. another bad start
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Hope so, got aguero in my wildcard draft to see how far my cash will go so if he's less it's a bonus

  9. Jairzinho

    Apart from the goalkeeper, I could make a full starting 11 out of new Hull City signings, and that's not including Livermore who was made permanent this season either!

    Hernandez - Ince

    Snodgrass - Ben Arfa - Diame - Ramirez

    Robertson - Maguire - Dawson - Lenihan

    1. theloveburglar
      • 13 Years

      bruce is tearing the arse out of it i reckon.. can see this backfiring bigtime

  10. KujaliaFC

    Welbeck at the Arsenal for 7 ducats is of interest to me, milord.

    1. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Absolutely

    2. Somalion
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      7 mil starting striker (assuming) for Arsenal that can score goals? Potentially worth them ducats 😉

    3. Valar(Keith)
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      jovetic to Welbeck awaits 🙂

    Finally managed to fix the link to my team I believe. No wonder no one wanted me in their team with the old random link which had Hernandez as captain 😮 . Finally did manage to join one 🙂 . Good luck to everyone else in the hockey tournament.

    2. SW6
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I like him but will give Tadic more time. Explosion imminent with his stats

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

        Thought I was being so clever transferring in Tadic for the WHU game...not so. Better pot some points in GW4!!!

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

      Joint most shots on goal so far I believe from a quiz last night could be good

      1. Super PVA - Small Spuds
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        I have him, but do stats always tell an accurate tale?

  14. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    cleverley staying at united

    1. Dksbananas

  15. The Mandalorian
    • 13 Years

    'Welbz is dat guy' currently trending on twitter.

    1. Super PVA - Small Spuds
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Ouch

  16. Crouching Tiger
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Hopefully Falcao is 10.5 and not 11.0 so I can do a direct swap Rooney to Falcao.

  17. TheCurseOfRaheem
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    As a Utd fan, really not happy about this Welbeck deal. Although he is constantly derided, I rate him, think he's a good player, excellent squad player. Can't understand why we would strengthen Arsenal. Is it a permanent deal or a loan?

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

      Permanent I think, £16m.

      Still not happy that he's going but it's what's best for him and his career.

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

        Sigh. You are right. Gutted he is leaving tho.

  18. Valar(Keith)
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Jwp, Barfa, Welbeck, Boyd.. budget heaven!!

    1. SW6
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Agree. Don't know what I'll do with all the spare cash though

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

    Pages actually moving pretty slowly tonight, considering it's deadline day.

    1. 50shades of o'shea
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      It's good because you can read and comment on most things

  20. Sunny 😎

    Wenger once said signing more than 3 first team players in one window disturbs the balance of the team and play.

    He is true to his word with a 3rd first team signing.

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

    Welbz may be a great 3rd FWD option to go alongside Costa and Kun. Will give him 2-3 weeks to settle, especially that ARS nearest fixtures ain't looking that great...

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

      For 7 ducats at the Arsenal, he's a real bargain.

      1. Woy of the Wovers
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        20% ownership by GW5.

    2. Twelve years a slave
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Yes just need an interim. May actually keep Naismith for two easy Everton fixtures then flick for welbeck

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

        Ho trigger available for the hockey thing? Don't need your email just a simple yes will be enougj

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

          Did you say captain or vice captain Nate? I'm the non playing manager, not manager.

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

            Vc for now will take over Captaincy if none of my signings take it

              Who've we signed so far?

        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

      2. Valar(Keith)
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        il wait till the end of the week and end up doing Jovetic to Welbeck depending on which of the 2 look like starting

  22. schlupptheweek
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    I really hope Doyle is the striker going to Palace because I don't want him at Wolves

    1. 50shades of o'shea
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Him and fletcher were a force 🙂

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

        Ha Ha Ha! They were average and our team is better now than the one which was in the premier league.

    If I didn't hate Clevz enough

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        I agree, I'm not saying I want him to go, just that i can understand why he is

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

      for his career? for his bank balance

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

  24. Kuqi Monster

    tempted by welbeck in my wildcard,

    1. Pinturicchio
      • 13 Years
