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Laurent Koscielny was withdrawn midway through the first-half of yesterday’s trip to Leicester after sustaining a head injury.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 Fellow forward Dwight Gayle was also withdrawn at St James’ Park after sustaining an ankle knock but is expected to be fit in time for Gameweek 4.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Similar to Chelsea’s Hazard, Romelu Lukaku has also withdrawn from international duties for Belgium due to a small injury.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 Louis van Gaal has since stated the Spaniard was withdrawn due to cramp.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Newcastle right-back Daryl Janmaat was withdrawn with just three minutes left of Saturday’s clash against Palace after picking up a knock.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Danny Rose was withdrawn midway through the second-half of yesterday’s home loss to Liverpool with a leg problem.

    is Jelavic a rotation risk at Hull now?

    1. The Hindu Monkey

      who isn't!?

    2. Chelsea Dagger

      Only if he stops scoring. 🙂

    3. Jax
      • 16 Years

      isn't he their only out and out striker?

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

        not anymore

    4. mdm
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      yes

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

    Posted earlier but made a mistake (can't do Mata>Sturridge!).

    So I've got rooney and mata.
    Is mata > Sterling tonight a good move? then wait and see on rooney? cheers

    1. A.T
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I'd wait a bit longer,

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

        how much longer would you leave it? Already missed the sterling rise yesterday, and mata's probably likely to drop soon.

        1. A.T
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Like you say, you've missed one rise so another shouldn't happen for a while. I'd swallow the Mata fall if it comes before the Friendlies.

    2. The Gobstopper
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Contemplating the exact same move at the moment...for a 4 point hit, even.

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

      Good business, then yes, see how the lineup next week & wait on Rooney

    4. Chelsea Dagger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I'd rather have Sterling than Mata, but both have good upcoming fixtures .. that's why i currently have both.

      1. The Gobstopper
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        The only way I can get Sterling into my squad is to do Hazard -> Sterling, which I want to do less than I want to do Mata -> Sterling. I'm just scared to death of missing out on the Sterling bandwagon any more AND about ManU's issues...

        1. Chelsea Dagger
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Imo you need a Chelsea midfielder. Better to have Sterling than Mata at this point. (Especially when you consider all the changes at Man U - will take a while to flush out who plays where.)

          1. The Gobstopper
            • 11 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            I should have said "the only other way" rather than "the only way." And I agree that a Chelsea mid is essential...

  3. Make United Great Again

    Gaston Ramirez to Hull. Great business

    1. Gaz Downright
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Great business for Southampton. What did he ever do there?

      Your the guy who had a go at me when I said the welbeck deal still had not gone through yet 🙁 I don't believe he will go 😉 going to spurs!

      1. Make United Great Again

    I have never seen El Mariachi and Falcao in the same room.

    Welbeck deal still hasn't been confirmed yet. Maybe United are still not sure if Falcao will sign

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

      Deal in principle agreed. I'm praying

  6. 4vets

        11 years, 3 months ago

        Hi Prime.
        Thanks for interest, e-mail 4Vets on address below please. There won't be any further additions until tomorrow at earliest as Team Boss (Shipstontrev) won't be back till later and will look over remaining requests. Ta.

    Marca reporting Falcao deal not finalised, expected to go down to the wire

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

      He misses the sunshine and casinos in Monaco, can understand

      1. The Gobstopper
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Having just returned from Monaco recently, if I was a player there I would NEVER leave as long as they would have me...

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

      Someone just explained to him what taxes are.

      1. Venom Snake
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        😆

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

    Rabiot's move to Roma failed, Wenger you have 20mins to get him, go go go 🙂

  9. djenzio
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    city to troll falcao??

  10. GST
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    So then, assuming transfers complete as expected.

    Who are your three strikers ?

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

      Aguero - Costa - Welbeck(if at Arsenal)

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

        Falcao - Costa - Welbeck

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

        Possibly Ballo over Kun for me. Funds more than anything.

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

        you reckon Welbeck will flourish at Arsenal?

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

          I'm almost certain he will.

      4. GST
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Pretty much with you on this one....

        But my inner muppet wants Falcao.

        If only I could follow my own philosophy and play 3-3-4

    2. tm245
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Aguero Falcao Costa is pretty scintillating. With so many cheap mids performing well could be somewhat easy to fund.

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

    Falcao not looking good 🙁

    1. Gooner97
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      They're just making hype...

    2. brianutd-why always we? 20
      • 14 Years

      Relax, all in the bag

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

      He's an ugly one isn't he.

    4. In Like Flynn.
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      As long as he doesn't rust, should be fine.

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

    Falcao just told reporters Manchester United move a dream come true. But still not finalised.

    1. Declan

      So was Real Madrid.

    3. Pea Soup
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      He must think he's signing for City

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

        this.

  13. Pea Soup
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Choo choo choose one please:

    A) Wisdom --> Moreno (-4)
    B) Moore --> Moreno (-4)
    C) PVA --> Moreno (-4) ... with this option I keep enough ITB to upgrade Rooney to Aguero later.
    D) No hit.

    Thanks in advance boys and girls!

    1. Chelsea Dagger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      1. Pea Soup
        • 14 Years

    2. Paul Psychic Octopus
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      A. no
      B. no
      c. no

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

    if Falcao doesn't happen will LVG pull the plug on Welbeck?

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

      without doubt

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

        not sure if you saw my question a few pages back; did you get the league code you wanted last night?

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

      Probably pull the plug on his career

    3. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Yes

    4. Chelsea Dagger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

    Every big player that moves says that it was a dream to play for them or they were a boyhood supporter or their idol played from them. 🙂

    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    What do we think will be the price for Blind and will he be a def or mid? If around 5.5 and a mid, could be worth a look?

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

      *def, not mid, but actually playing in mid

                May have emailed both of us, I did email him to confirm and he said he's in. You can check though, maybe hes pulling a Falcao and I'll have to take him off the books 😀

                as a MU fan yes - although still have defensive concerns

                no. Sandro showed so much heart. Bad decision by levy

                    It's mostly his work ethic though, really needs to work hard, and while City, Chelsea and United can splash cash ridiculously we have had to invest what we can more wisely.

                Yes and no

                Rojo, Blind, Herrera, Shaw, Di Maria and Falcao

                But, would have liked another CD and a midfield enforcer - a lot of pressure on Blind to come good now.

                  Blind will be to United what Matic is to Chelsea.

                  No defensive midfielder is a worry, lack of centre backs is an even bigger worry.

                  As a West Ham fan, ok at best.

                  Cresswell Zarate Kouyate look good.
                  Hopefully Valencia and Sakho will not be flops.

                  Wish we kept Diame, rated him a lot.
                  Should have bought another CB.

                  Contented. Lost a lot of quality but we've invested well. 🙂

                  Seems like Chelsea, Hull, and United did the best in the transfer market. Though it will take United the longest to integrate all the new players. Chelsea knew what they needed and got it right away.

                  Not ecstatic. Lost two great players in Siggy and the Beast God but got rid of godawful Tim Sherwood, so that's something at least.

                    I'm surprised that he's happy not playing CL football for the next few years though. 😉
