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Laurent Koscielny was withdrawn midway through the first-half of yesterday’s trip to Leicester after sustaining a head injury.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 Fellow forward Dwight Gayle was also withdrawn at St James’ Park after sustaining an ankle knock but is expected to be fit in time for Gameweek 4.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Similar to Chelsea’s Hazard, Romelu Lukaku has also withdrawn from international duties for Belgium due to a small injury.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 Louis van Gaal has since stated the Spaniard was withdrawn due to cramp.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Newcastle right-back Daryl Janmaat was withdrawn with just three minutes left of Saturday’s clash against Palace after picking up a knock.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Danny Rose was withdrawn midway through the second-half of yesterday’s home loss to Liverpool with a leg problem.

    Balotelli protected value?

  2. Scratch
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Have to say it's been a rubbish deadline day. The only quality signing to emerge is Falcao, so United won't be completely dependent on the form of Rvp & Rooney.

    Welbeck at 6.9 and nailed on?

      Costa Falcao Wellbeck

    Hearing Falcao has failed a medical. Could it affect Welbeck deal to Arsenal?

    for real?

    1. TD Champ
      • 11 Years

      It might. But think it's BS

      smithy to be fair loves a rumour

    3. Reeker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      Just some false claims

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

      Oh damn. It would affect the Welbeck deal, there is no way that United is going into the new season with 2 strikers, one of who is rumoured to need surgery.

    5. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I think to get an extension in the first place, Man U would have ha to commit to the sale. Also, I'm sure falcaos medical must have been ages ago.

        Medicals at the biggest clubs can be very thorough and can take a long time though, the doctors need to examine past damage, current fitness and potential future fitness.

    #SaintsFC have the option to make @AlderweireldTob's deal permanent for €8million (£6.3m)

      Could be a really smart piece of business.

    Kranjcar sounds like a proper footballer, not a cash chaser...

    Quite good to have a player like that in a squad

  9. Albert Cole
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Balotelli protected price?

    1. Bolivian Seaman
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Yes protected for 10 days after signing I think

  10. Mind över Mata
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Right, between two:

    A) Moore, Welbeck
    B) Moreno/Lovren, Naismith

  11. Sess!
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    So are we thinking Falcao Welbeck Costa forward line?

    1. palace ash
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      If he signs!

    2. AWESOME-O
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Aguero instead of Falcao imo

      1. Sess!
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        I still might get Falcao Costa and Aguero.

        1. AWESOME-O
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          looks lethal, but midfield and defence might be a bit destroyed though 😮

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

          awful lot of $$$ on the forward line.

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

      Will monitor Welbeck and keep Naismith over him. The guy can't even finish his tea.

    4. Syd.
      • 16 Years

      Not much

          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          thinking of a very stable midfield then using most of the transfers in attack, as fixtures and form suit

      2. AWESOME-O
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Which combo do you think is the best?

        A) Ivanovic, Aguero & Welbeck

        B) Azpil, Sturridge & Jovetic/Dzeko ?

        1. Sess!
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          A........obviously.

          1. AWESOME-O
            • 12 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            That's what im currently on. Just hope Welbeck plays CF regularly and scores goals. Might go Naismith + cash to begin with

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

        Is this team worthy of activating my wildcard?
        Krul
        Jones Terry Wilson Hutton Wisdom
        Mata Fab Sig Ram Tadic
        Weimann Rooney Costa

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

        Do I rush transfer Mata/Bartley > Zaha/Ivanovic, or do I wait a week?

      6. henryleeds

        since alderweireld(cant spell) has gone to the saints, will clyne get game time???

        1. Sess!
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          He'll play centre back. Won't affect clyne.

        2. Konig Luther
          • 13 Years

        Hatem Ben Arfa @ Hull..

        Could be a great FPL asset

        1. Sess!
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Lol

        2. AWESOME-O
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Almost as fat as Steve Bruce. Could see them fighting over the match pies before kick off.

      8. El Libe

        my WC team what do you think any improve?

        Begovic Myhill
        Jaanmat Wiliams Clyne Ivanovic Moreno
        Fabregas(Ramsey) Tadic Sterling Siggy JWP
        Baloteli(Rooney) Costa Naismith

      9. BenDavies
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        So many bargain exciting prospects. Have a close eye on Ben Arfa, Boyd, Alderweireld and Welbeck.

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

        433 I guess. But who would make way for Falcao?

        .................DDG
        Rafael Jones Rojo Shaw
        .................Blind
        ...........Herrera Mata
        .Di Maria RVP Rooney

        Can they rotate their captain who is getting £300k a week?

        1. Tiote on Peyote
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          RvP I'd imagine.

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

          ddg

          rafa jones rojo shaw

          herrera blind

          januzaj rooney di maria

          falcao

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

            No Mata or RVP?!

          2. TD Champ
            • 11 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            Mata for Januzaj

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

        Listening to Alderweireld's interview, Koeman clearly played a big role in convincing him to join, both in terms of his personal reputation and his plan for the club. Great. 😀

        i can't decide who to sell to get ivan
        either Bruce or Debuchy
        the problem is that Bruce don't play
        and debuchy have difficult fixtures and will free up cash that i might use to upgrade rooney
        i have 4.0 in bank
        Thanks 🙂

        Falcao... 5 minutes until the real deadline...

        Is he in or out?

      15. Vinnie vidic vici
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Nathan Dyer worth the investment or is it just a flash in the pan against easy clubs?

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

          I'd say latter. Presuming you have Siggy, i wouldn't want to double up on Swansea's midfield either.

      16. Axel22
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        What to do ?! 1FT - 0.7 idb

        Krul
        Clyne / Wisdom (Vlaar?) / Coloccini
        Larsson / Fab / Ramsey / Siggy / Sterling
        Costa / Rooney

        Guzan / Jovetic / Vlaar / Dummet

        1) Jovetic to Welbeck or Naismith AND Dummet to Iva ? -4 hit
        2) Jovetic to Welbeck or Naismith

        any other idea ?

          11 years, 3 months ago

          Pieters
          Bardsley

          OFF TOPIC:

          I need this to be settled between me and a mate.

          Who has the better SQUAD Manchester City or FC Bayern?

          Try not to be biased if you're Man U fan 🙂
