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Laurent Koscielny was withdrawn midway through the first-half of yesterday’s trip to Leicester after sustaining a head injury.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 Fellow forward Dwight Gayle was also withdrawn at St James’ Park after sustaining an ankle knock but is expected to be fit in time for Gameweek 4.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Similar to Chelsea’s Hazard, Romelu Lukaku has also withdrawn from international duties for Belgium due to a small injury.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 Louis van Gaal has since stated the Spaniard was withdrawn due to cramp.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Newcastle right-back Daryl Janmaat was withdrawn with just three minutes left of Saturday’s clash against Palace after picking up a knock.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Danny Rose was withdrawn midway through the second-half of yesterday’s home loss to Liverpool with a leg problem.

    I have no idea how Mata, Rooney, RVP, Di Maria and Falcao can fit into the same team though.

    Blind is a great signing though.

    Remember guys a transfer can be announced after 11pm, it;s just the paperwork that needs to be submitted before then

    1. Parm
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Remember last year when we were holding onto that Coentrao deal?

      1. JK - Cønt ⭐
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        oh yeah, that hinged on Real replacing him, which they didn't

  6. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    LVG forgot about falcao who still lying naked in his hospital bed. Been on the phone all evening trying to sell cleverley

    Rooney, Henderson, Krul OUT

    Welbeck, Sterling, DDG IN

    Good moves?

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

      why would you swap rooney for Welbeck?

    2. World XI

  8. Davido989
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    What do Arsenal fans on here think of Welbeck? Because the ones I know here in London are not happy. Might even make a trip to the Emriates for the banter.

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

      Hilarious as he'd be a revelation for them.

      1. Davido989
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        I'm not sure mate. Welbeck is a fantastic presser but he doesn't have much else in his game. But, he'd develop much more at Arsenal than United for sure

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

          Ridiculous assessment. He's a Sturridge sized talent.

          1. Davido989
            • 15 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            Come back to me when Welbeck scores 20 in a season, then.

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

              How'd he get on playing from wide for Chelsea and City?

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

            He is good, but Sturridge is one of the best strikers in the leage.

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

              But we weren't saying that until Sturridge got a consistent run as a CF. And Welbeck hasn't been given that chance yet.

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

                I suppose you're right, I do still think there is a gulf in base ability. But if England could have two Sturridge's, that can only be a good thing.

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

      he is a bit underrated, and would score more if he was more central. But I was hoping for someone better like Jason Lee

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

        hahaha tremendous

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

      I think he's a good player. Not good enough to be a star man up front, but a good squad player. He has always seemed to do well for England up top I suppose. I think it's complete BS anyway.

        Lets say 10.5

        1. Mike2795647
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Gotta be higher than that, between 11-11.5 otherwise it will be to easy for people to switch between Rooney and Falc without compromising on other areas of the team, hope I'm wrong though as gotta be worth a punt if you can swap for fat shrek

    3. reece

      United apparently but I can see it being city and shocking everybody

        to the person asking why United fans are upset Welbeck is leaving. he was one of the young local lads brought through the academy. was with the club from 8/9 years old.

        a lot of us wanted to see him come good at United.

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

          🙁

      • Adam
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Hull a massive winners of today. Hernandez, Diame, Ben Arfa and Gaston Ramirez is brilliant.

      • Well you know, Triffic
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Not an Arsenal fan but quite miffed as to why they didn't go for Bony. Most likely would of cost 5million more, he's only 25, a better passer, finisher and hold up man than Welbeck. His one touch flicks and passes would of suited Arsenal very much, and he is an absolute tank you see defenders bouncing off him half the time.

          • 15 Years

          bony had half a good season last season. I actually don't rate him

        2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          just my opinion of course, he also has poor technique

          again my opinion

            • 12 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            I can confirm this is not factual. 😉

            (just my opinion) 😛

            • 15 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            Fair enough, he strikes the ball very well to my eye always catches the sweet spot, and generates alot of power.

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

          He'd cost 5 milion more maybe three, four weeks ago. On the deadline day - more like 15 milion more 😉

          Figures for Bony quoted in Lukaku territory no where near as good

        In 5 min, Wenger will be coaching in Rome for a friendly game, don't expect any signing for Arsenal then this evening 🙂

          The managers don't make the signings you fool, the owners and CEO complete the transfers. The managers make the decision, so it's just a case of a phone call

        Arsenal on for Welbeck AND Huntelaar...is that right ?....jeez...Who plays ?

          • 12 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          It'll only be one (or more likely, none). Would love Welbeck at Arsenal. 😀

            don't see it happening though..

            Huntelaar must be getting on a bit now...

              • 12 Years
              11 years, 3 months ago

              31. if his release clause is the £12m quoted though, it's value.

          Arsenal interested in signing Welbeck before deadline. Not clear if permanent or loan & no deal agreed or medical yet #bbcdeadlineday #MUFC

          Diame for only 3.5 million???? Quality player, don't see why no one else was in for him, Arsenal for example.
