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Laurent Koscielny was withdrawn midway through the first-half of yesterday’s trip to Leicester after sustaining a head injury.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 Fellow forward Dwight Gayle was also withdrawn at St James’ Park after sustaining an ankle knock but is expected to be fit in time for Gameweek 4.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Similar to Chelsea’s Hazard, Romelu Lukaku has also withdrawn from international duties for Belgium due to a small injury.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 Louis van Gaal has since stated the Spaniard was withdrawn due to cramp.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Newcastle right-back Daryl Janmaat was withdrawn with just three minutes left of Saturday’s clash against Palace after picking up a knock.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Danny Rose was withdrawn midway through the second-half of yesterday’s home loss to Liverpool with a leg problem.

    Get Falcao, and just keep Welbeck please.

    Part of me thinks the goons behind the Sky reporters are absolutely pathetic. But the teenage sense of humour in me is finding their antics hilarious.

    The sex doll is the icing on the cake.

    BREAKING NEWS: Arsenal sign Abou Diaby on loan from the medical room.

    1. SW6
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      It's a 3 day deal, he will then return to the medical room for the remainder of the season.

    2. Leaf

    @ beric

    I was speaking about losers out on sky sports news shouting out stuff

    1. beric
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Haha, i know...was being sarcastic. You of all people shouldve spotted that 😉

      1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 10 months ago

        😯 😆 I see it now

    People comparing Welbeck to Sturridge pre-Liverpool are deluding themselves.

    1. Yome
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      They said Welbeck is the new Sturridge, Arsenal fans what are you on?

    2. RÏɠBY
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      yet he's dtill in the english team
      *facepalm*

    3. Licky
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Sturridge actually had talent, Welbeck is nothing more than someone who can compete physically, so long as he isn't required to kick a ball.

  7. Vinnie vidic vici

    SO best transfer today?

        1. LMNO
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 10 months ago

          probably, just the press hasn't got it yet

      Blind likely to rank up there as one of the best for what United needs

    Jeff Stepping will be unhappy tonight! Hartlepool United just sold their star striker, Luke James to Peterborough.

  10. The Gobstopper
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Wow. Price drop predictions are all over the place. At the moment, Mata is -27.1% at TotalFPL, -74.9% at FPLStatistics, and -54.3% at FISO. No one has any idea anymore, do they?

    1. Jimmers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      No - main thing is he's not dropping tonight

      1. The Gobstopper
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 10 months ago

        That's what I'm hoping...although given the numbers I could find last night Sterling wasn't due to rise.

      Indeed. Wasn't Fellaini announced like 3 hours late?

    4. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      depends, paperwork needs submitting I believe

    5. JT's Dog
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Yip just certain paperwork has to be logged at pl towers

    6. Bauerhaus 24
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      yeah extra 1 hour for international deals (falcao) extra 2 for domestic deals

  14. Sunny 😎

  15. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 10 months ago

    AS reporting club officials are rushing Radamel Falcao to the club offices in order to get his contract signed. 4 mins left

    1. JK - Cønt ⭐
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      apparently United have been granted a 1 hour extension to get the paperwork signed

      1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 10 months ago

        makes sense

      2. JT's Dog
        11 years, 10 months ago

  16. DonTheSpecialOne
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years

    @FutbolSergi: Manchester United have reportedly asked for an 'hour of extension' so they Radamel Falcao can sign his contract.”

    6. Chelsea Dagger

      Hazard. One middy per team should be enough coverage. use the extra $$$ somewhere else

  18. EAGLES (0 Chelsea players)
    • 14 Years

    Surely if you're gonna sign Falcao...you don't leave it this late right?

  21. Yome
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Hearing that United's computer running Windows has just crashed, they won't be able to announce the signing of Falcao on time 🙂

    1. Wouter
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      As long as the paper work is done, it's fine. They can announce him next week if they want.

      Peaked too soon with Falcao

  25. JK - Cønt ⭐
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Both United and Arsenal have applied for extensions to complete the Falcao and Welbeck deals

    1. Dr Dream
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      What's the point of a deadline then ?

      1. theloveburglar
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 10 months ago

        to have all the paperwork submitted

      2. Bauerhaus 24
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 10 months ago

        you have to have a preliminary deal or something in place, then an extra 1/2 hours to complete formalities

    2. The Missing Link
      • 12 Years

      Useless 😀

    3. Yome
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Didn't know that extension existed. Anyone has an official link from Uefa about that?

    I do t believe these deals are going to the wire. There has been talks of Falcao signing all day. Why does it take so long.

      • Has Moderation Rights

    "Manchester United haven't confirmed Falcao because the deal has not been completed yet. Should fans be worried? No. Providing a deal sheet has been submitted then United have until midnight to conclude the deal."
