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Laurent Koscielny was withdrawn midway through the first-half of yesterday’s trip to Leicester after sustaining a head injury.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 Fellow forward Dwight Gayle was also withdrawn at St James’ Park after sustaining an ankle knock but is expected to be fit in time for Gameweek 4.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Similar to Chelsea’s Hazard, Romelu Lukaku has also withdrawn from international duties for Belgium due to a small injury.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 Louis van Gaal has since stated the Spaniard was withdrawn due to cramp.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Newcastle right-back Daryl Janmaat was withdrawn with just three minutes left of Saturday’s clash against Palace after picking up a knock.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Danny Rose was withdrawn midway through the second-half of yesterday’s home loss to Liverpool with a leg problem.

    Does it really take this long for LVG to explain his philosophy to falcao?

    1. Fifa las vegas
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      😀

    2. Wirtzle Gummidge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      He hasn't even finished expalining it to the rest of the squad.

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

      He's still got to show Falcao his balls.

  2. Obi Wan Elokobi
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Did not realise that Falcaos wage adds up to 18.2 million and then 6 million as well 24 million for one year is mad. A brilliant player but that's too much.

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

      You need to put it into perspective though. If he is the player that is the difference between finishing in the top 4 or not, it may not be as massive as it seems.

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

      If he gets them top 4 it's worth it I guess.

      1. Tinchy Sneijder
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Will make that back if they get in the CL, as adidas will cut their sponsorship by much more money than his wages if they don't reach the CL.

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

      They'll easily double that in shirts this week

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

        Nike will, clubs earning money per shirt sold is a myth.

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

        Real took something stupid like 4 days to recoup the Ronaldo money in shirt sales

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

          Real stand to make 250 mill on Ronaldo when all the dust has settled and he's finished his time with them...One of the Real Madrid directors was interviewed a year or two ago on Newsnight or Channel 4 news talking about him. United got ripped off...

    More English players should follow Richards and Cole and move abroad to bigger clubs and play regularly rather than fighting for relegation or sitting on bench.

    So questions....

    1. Sturridge or Rooney out for Costa?

    2. Which would be more important, A) Silva > Sterling or B) JWP/Marney > Siggy

    1. Lebowski85
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      You should have all 3 in your team. The fact you don't have 1 doesn't bode very well for your judgement i'm afraid. To be as helpful as possible though. I think Siggy is the most important of the 3 as there are nowhere near as many alternate options for him as there are for Sterling. Personally...id make all 3 subs, take the hit and leave them oin your team for the season. Good luck bud

  23. Mr_Partridge
    • 11 Years

    The fact that that moron was wearing Sunglasses it's pretty obvious he was going to say something stupid.

    The other ones were funny, that guy was rubbish

    Gaston officially gone to Hull. I hope he gets a chance to prove himself and comes back fighting. I like Hull too.

      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I like Sotton as well. Good business for the both of us. I hope he does well at us and then breaks through for sotton. Was their record signing I believe. All he needs is some game time and belief.

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

        I think he was until Osvaldo. Basically, if you're our record signing for any length of time, you're doomed 😉 Delap was our record signing for years 😉

      Hull having an absolutely storming window, especially if they wrap up Diame & Ben Arfa tonight. Top 10 finish possible

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

        I predicted 8th or 10th at the start

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

          Think I had them for 12th or 13th, comfortably safe but not that high. Thought Stoke, Swansea, West Ham & Newcastle would be above them, WHU may have been wrong

  30. The Hindu Monkey

    Do Hull know they can only play eleven players?

      Nothing is wrong with depth!
