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Laurent Koscielny was withdrawn midway through the first-half of yesterday’s trip to Leicester after sustaining a head injury.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 Fellow forward Dwight Gayle was also withdrawn at St James’ Park after sustaining an ankle knock but is expected to be fit in time for Gameweek 4.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Similar to Chelsea’s Hazard, Romelu Lukaku has also withdrawn from international duties for Belgium due to a small injury.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 Louis van Gaal has since stated the Spaniard was withdrawn due to cramp.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Newcastle right-back Daryl Janmaat was withdrawn with just three minutes left of Saturday’s clash against Palace after picking up a knock.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Danny Rose was withdrawn midway through the second-half of yesterday’s home loss to Liverpool with a leg problem.

    welbeck could be so good we end up selling ramsey

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

      averages a goal every 2 games when played CF.

      I may get both

    2. Woy of the Wovers
      • 16 Years

      Oooh. Controversy.

    3. Obi Wan Elokobi

      And I can win FPl

      You do it first.

      we're not selling ramsey bonks, you know this!

    6. Pork Pie Sausage Roll

      standard. Arsenal are effectively City's feeder club anyway 😉

  5. Baa
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 10 months ago

    One more try, Haz or Fab?

    1. Frank Black
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Hazard.

    2. BruLee
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Haz and keep him all season

    3. Baa
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Thanks both

  6. Yome

    Marseille confirm that West Ham have signed Morgan Amalfitano. The midfielder was on loan at West Brom last year. #deadlineday #whufc

    Sleep tight Doos!

  7. Somalion
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Negredo leaving, Dzeko staying in my team 😎

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

      And Jovetic?

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

        Can sod off. 😉

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

          I like that, I own Dzeko too 😉

    2. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS

      Jovetic hasn't left you muppet

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

        Did I say he had? Dzeko however gives a better physical presence.

      nice copy and paste fail there

    2. Sess!
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Januzaj/young is a glaring weak link. Think mata will be stuck back out there.

    3. Del Monte
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Cuadrado

    4. djenzio
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      that defence....sigh

  9. Demí
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Chelsea will walk the league this year, any doubts i had fully erased after the first 3 games.

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

      without doubt

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

      City again imo. Would have said Arsenal if they'd had a better transfer window

      1. Chelsea Dagger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 10 months ago

        A little worries about the striker situation for City. Aguero is excellent but hurt often. Negredo was big for a good part of last season but is now gone. Jove ... who knows.

        1. djenzio
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 10 months ago

          don't know why they got rid of Negredo....he was so good last season and Dzek/Jove not up to scatch yet

    3. Heydudes13
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Diego Costa top scorer prediction looking good.

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

      yup, looking really strong and well balanced

    5. Sunny 😎
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      I'm waiting till the City game before making comments like that. But we should win the league if not run away with it.

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

      Indeed, this is appealing:
      Hilario out; Courtois in
      Luiz out; Zouma in
      Cole out; Luis in
      Lampard out; Cesc in
      Eto'o out, Costa in
      Ba out; Drogba in
      Torres out; Remy in

    7. Timtastic03
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Costa injury could pull them back.

    8. Bartowski
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Yep, ridiculously strong

      1. Syd.
        • 17 Years
        11 years, 10 months ago

        They could do with a couple of decent CBs

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

      City or Chelsea, but more likely Chelsea due to motivation in my opinion.

  10. Sess!
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 10 months ago

    As long as Falcao comes in 11.5m or less I reckon you can get a balanced team with Aguero, Falcao, Costa frontline. Just means some sacrifices of likes of Ivan.

    1. Wirtzle Gummidge
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Falcao and Costa yes. Kun...no.

      1. Sess!
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Maybe one too far......welbeck at arsenal could work.

    2. Heydudes13
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Diego Costa Falcao Naismith brings great balance.

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

        if you can stretch to Dat Guy

        even better

        1. Heydudes13
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 10 months ago

          Lukaku?

    3. Woy of the Wovers
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Drop Ivan. You're crazy.

    4. Rödallegabomb ᴿᴮ
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      If he comes in around Rooney's price I can get this and save a FT for next week if I really want to get him early, which is highly unlikely:

      Fàbregas - Ramsey - Sterling - Sigurdsson
      Agüero - Costa - Falcao

      1. Sess!
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Nice

    1. Gaz Downright
      • Has Moderation Rights

      sick

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

      Why was nobody marking him?

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

        Why would you mark him when he's lining up to score a scissors kick like that? Be kind!

  11. Werkself
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    Negredo to Valencia

    1. MJ6987
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Strange if they haven't signed a replacement.

      1. Gaz Downright
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Falcao is the replacement no?

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

          Wrong Manchester

  12. Bartowski
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 10 months ago

    So Borini just ended up staying at Liverpool to occasionally play in the cups..

    Tis a shame, he looked pretty good once he got a regular run in the Sunderland team.

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

      He may also get a run out against Ludogorets! 😀

    2. Goodfella
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      He's our 4th choice striker and we'll only play two up front for Balotelli and Sturridge, so if one of them gets injured, it won't be be Borini coming in, we'll just switch to one up top.

      If we have an injury crisis, then we'll play Lambert over Borini. In cup competitions, we'll play Lambert over Borini. He simply isn't going to play, it's bizarre he hasn't gone.

      He's on 30k a week allegedly and was offered double that at QPR, it's very weird. There isn't a football or financial reason to stay. Apparently this girlfriend has him on a short leash and doesn't want to leave Liverpool.

    2. Baa

      Not happened yet 😉

  13. Wirtzle Gummidge
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Falcao after seeing how much he has earnt so far as a United player.

    11 years, 10 months ago

    Whilst we wait for the Falcao and Welbeck transfers to be confirmed, can anyone tell me how one signs up for a team in the Hockey WC tournament? Do you have to be affiliated with the country in some way or just pick one you fancy and ask the manager?

    Thanks in advance!

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

      Pick one you fancy and ask the manager.

    So Negredo's gone to Valencia, which leaves them with three forwards, one being the injury prone Agüero...

    1. applebonkers
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      meh, just means they'll go 1 striker at times, silva or yaya. arguably makes them even stronger

    scott sinclair made a wise choice. i think he can displace silva this year

    1. Jax
      • 16 Years

      lol

    2. Pork Pie Sausage Roll
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      May as well take up goalkeeping and try and displace Hart. More likely to get in the starting XI that way surely

    Are you meant to upvote a comment when you agree with it? I thought upvotes were designed to highlight good contributions to the community, not to accumulate opinion.

    Unfortunately, they seem to be used to rally abuse against a poster or rival club. It gives cowards the ability to slag off someone and not reveal their identity to the person.

  21. Tony Warner Fan Club
    • 12 Years

    With City not announcing any new striker signings, I've just taken a -4 hit to do Costa > Negredo. Think that's going to be a good diff choice.

    1. BruLee

          • 12 Years
          11 years, 10 months ago

          Yeah. Relieved he's no longer available for selection. However, as an away fan, he ALWAYS made you feel appreciated and always have great interviews. A top guy to have around the club and played an important part in our rise.

                The hockey world cup tourney we are going to have here. 12 teams each with 15 members. I will probably be leading the Malaysia team so recruiting atm. The only I require is your team ID if you wish to join my side.

    The Villa fans managed to embarrass your Club more than any other tonight. Foul language and a blow up doll included. Been some cringeworthy fans on but Villa's were the only one 'cut' by the director 😆

      The blow up doll is Epic Fail's Missus
