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Laurent Koscielny was withdrawn midway through the first-half of yesterday’s trip to Leicester after sustaining a head injury.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 Fellow forward Dwight Gayle was also withdrawn at St James’ Park after sustaining an ankle knock but is expected to be fit in time for Gameweek 4.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Similar to Chelsea’s Hazard, Romelu Lukaku has also withdrawn from international duties for Belgium due to a small injury.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 Louis van Gaal has since stated the Spaniard was withdrawn due to cramp.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Newcastle right-back Daryl Janmaat was withdrawn with just three minutes left of Saturday’s clash against Palace after picking up a knock.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Danny Rose was withdrawn midway through the second-half of yesterday’s home loss to Liverpool with a leg problem.

        Coleman is a pleasure to watch though. Should do well again this season.

    3. S.Kuqi
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      No thanks. Baines should be 6.0 at most. Mirallas stealing cks and fks.

        I would bench him if had a decent other option. Playing at chelsea somewhat harder than utd in first game of season

    Utd reportedly offering £39.5 for Vidal

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

      Pretty cheap for his calibre 😉

    2. wslnpt
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      If they sign Vidal and Shawcross, well, then they have made some good business. Expensive business, but good business.

      1. In Bale We Trust
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        SHawcross would be an awful buy. Not good enough on the ball, especially for an LVG team.

    I hope that Falcao is under 11m because then I could do Silva to Boyd and Wood to Falcao with 2 free transfers .

    Arsenal don't deserve Dat Guy

    1. Not Irish
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Feel for Arsenal fans in all honesty. But they've done it to themselves with their blind allegiance to Wenger.

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

        Do you really think the board care about the fans?

      which guy?

  9. Ser Football 42
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Caulker, Debuchy, Clyne as my defense right now.
    Keep them or switch them out?

    1. Frank Black
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Switch the first two.

    2. LOCO ABREU

      Keep Clyne ship the other two.

    4. XhakaCan

      Keep Clyne

    5. Walsh
      • 12 Years

      Debuchy has got to go. I'm getting rid of him with my free before GW4.

      1. Ser Football 42
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        who are you picking up instead?

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

          Looking at being a bit mad and doubling on soton with Bertrand and Clyne 🙂 Always like a risk and have a good feeling about them at the moment. Also considering Manquilo. Not 100% sure yet though.

          1. Ser Football 42
            • 11 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            i Was thinking doing some switching and picking up Coleman for him

            1. Walsh
              • 12 Years

    Gotta feel for Arsenal fans on a day like today.

    Every club has either made good signings or are making them now but the best Wenger can do is try to get Defoe on loan for a year when it's oh so obvious that they need a top quality striker.

    I did Mata -> Sterling and have 5.2 to replace Chambers with.

    A) go with Clyne
    B) get 0.3 more and get Moreno

      I'm reading this (Guardian)

      United pay 6M upfront (peanuts), don’t have to pay all of his berserk wages, have an option to release him after 12 months (or earlier one assumes) if he gets crocked again.

    2. Think Tank
      • 11 Years

      Good call, especially if Vlaar misses the match.

      Villa were dreadful last year when he was sidelined.

    Danny Welbeck is at #afc's training ground. He would prefer joining #afc over #thfc & is trying to force through a deal. Wenger's move now.

      Surely worth splurging on him. He's young and solid and could really help for years to come. If wenger doesn't someone else will.

        You need players like Glen Johnson for it to work properly.

    Laugh it up United fans. Arsenal have won two trophies since you last won a match.

    You've now joined the Chelsea and City ranks of spending.

    No CL next season and you're doing a Leeds

        It is when Arsenal win it 🙄

        To be fair, Man U's net spend this window exceeds Arsenal's net spend over the last 18 years.

      Welbeck still shit?

  23. Siva Mohan

    The Portugese incoming transfer deadline has passed. Joel Campbell will not join Benfica in this window.

      Yep, same here.

    3. Jafooli

    BREAKING: Danny Welbeck is at Arsenal's training ground...training with the England team...

  27. Twelve years a slave

    Welbeck to Arsenal, that's more like it, but isn't he too similar to their other options. They need more of a target man

    1. Frank Black
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      They'll rotate between Sanchez and Welbeck until Giroud comes back...IF Welbeck actually signs with them.

    Haven't seen any Southamptons games this season. How has Tadic played? Promising stats but only 1 assist so far.

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

      He's looked amazing. I brought him in last week.

      1. S.Kuqi
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Does he take majority of set pieces?

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

          Some. JWP takes lots.

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

      Great potential, & if Pelle shows some more discipline up front, they might actually score goal.
      By Gw5 they should have more chemistry linking up.

      Cheers both!
