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Laurent Koscielny was withdrawn midway through the first-half of yesterday’s trip to Leicester after sustaining a head injury.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 Fellow forward Dwight Gayle was also withdrawn at St James’ Park after sustaining an ankle knock but is expected to be fit in time for Gameweek 4.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Similar to Chelsea’s Hazard, Romelu Lukaku has also withdrawn from international duties for Belgium due to a small injury.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 Louis van Gaal has since stated the Spaniard was withdrawn due to cramp.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Newcastle right-back Daryl Janmaat was withdrawn with just three minutes left of Saturday’s clash against Palace after picking up a knock.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Danny Rose was withdrawn midway through the second-half of yesterday’s home loss to Liverpool with a leg problem.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

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

      loan fee 6mill

      1. Wilshere Knowledge
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Credulity isnt an admirable trait.

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

          neither is denial

  3. gtf
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Rooney, Henderson, Krul OUT

    Welbeck, Sterling, DDG IN

    Good moves?

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

      why would you swap rooney for Welbeck?

    2. World XI
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      DDG in!??

    3. Epic Fail

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

      You need to join Falcao in the medical for your kneess

  4. World XI

    11 years, 10 months ago

    Welbeck at Sunderland was a good FPL pick way back with Gyan. Could hit that form again?

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

      He was a good pick last season when he had a spell of actually playing up front for United - 6 goals and 2 assists in 6 games.

      1. World XI
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Lethal

  5. Not Irish
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Beeb now saying nothing's agreed and no medical for Welbeck.

    Told yous...

    1. Bolivian Seaman
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      YES!

    G'day

    Anyone else feel like Welbeck will be a success at Arsenal?

    1. Not Irish
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Absolutely he would, which is why it won't happen. Spurs it is. 😀

    2. JK - Cønt ⭐
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Who approved this move? as team captain i should have been made aware 😛

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

        Don't worry JK, Margot Robbie will be very prominent on our website

      better than sanogo and wouldnt need time to adapt to a new position like alexis so a success in that sense

  7. Tim Canterbury
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Welbeck at Arsenal would be essential

    1. World XI
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      We shall see. Can't Believe Joel Cambell is overlooked so much. Best forward with Giroud out.

      1. XhakaCan
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 10 months ago

        This, gets minimal gametime

      2. Wilshere Knowledge
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 10 months ago

        He is really a winger though. Deffo not suited to lead the line.

        1. World XI
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 10 months ago

          Played up top well against Italy and Uruguay, two of the best teams supposedly. Did decent vs England and Holland too 🙂

          1. Wilshere Knowledge
            • 12 Years
            11 years, 10 months ago

            I know, but he played there for Costa Rica due to lack of other options. He was playing more on the counter with lots of space, and still he wasnt that impressive. He played right wing in Greece, and has been playing there for Arsenal.

    Exclusive – Danny Welbeck's agent insists striker wants PERMANENT move away from Man United http://tlks.pt/LtKQeV #AFC #THFC

    1. Not Irish
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Too bad for him he's got a contract to uphold. He'll force nothing.

    2. World XI
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      How do united fans feel about that?! Haha

  9. JT's Dog

    Courtois, Ivanovic, fabregas and costa?

    1. Miami Monkey
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      No but it's not possible

      1. Zat Knight Rises
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 10 months ago

        It's possible in the UFPL game

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

      Well it's impossible for one thing

    3. Gingio Ze Roberto
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      yes - thats 4 players from Chelski and FPL only allows 3 per team!

    1. World XI
      • 13 Years

      Different year, different market i guess

      1. JT's Dog
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Yeah not like there were any big name forwards for sale this year

  12. Adam
    • 17 Years

    My ears are getting quite tired of eating the name Falcao said every 2 seconds on SSN.

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

      *hearing.

      1. Wilshere Knowledge
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Turn it off?

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

      same on here mate and not just by the united fans... also those of chelsea man city arsenal and every other abu who when he was linked with real madrid city and arsenal thought he was an absolute world beater but now that he's on the verge of united he's now over rated lol

      1. Wilshere Knowledge
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 10 months ago

        I was arguing about how good Falcao was earlier, albeit a strange position to strengthen.

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

          agreed on that came as a massive shock to me..

          although with hernandez off and welbeck wanting out a striker had to be brought in and u cant turn down a chance to sign one of the very best in world football

          1. Wilshere Knowledge
            • 12 Years
            11 years, 10 months ago

            That's true. I dont understand why LvG would sell Welbeck though, and he must surely revert to 433 at some point?

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

              welbeck wants out.. i had no problem with welbeck as a squad player but he wants first team football at his age and rightly so..

              LVG has played a 4-3-3 pretty much his whole career and has said himself its his favoured formation

              with the players he wants and players returning from injury we should see a change to 4-3-3 yes

  13. Davido989
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 10 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, 10 months ago

      Hilarious as he'd be a revelation for them.

      1. Davido989
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 10 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, 10 months ago

          Ridiculous assessment. He's a Sturridge sized talent.

          1. Davido989
            • 15 Years
            11 years, 10 months ago

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

            1. Not Irish
              • 12 Years
              11 years, 10 months ago

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

          2. Wilshere Knowledge
            • 12 Years
            11 years, 10 months ago

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

            1. Not Irish
              • 12 Years
              11 years, 10 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, 10 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, 10 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, 10 months ago

        hahaha tremendous

    3. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 10 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.

  14. sinik
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years

    front 3:
    Falcao - Costa - Welbeck

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

      I think this is the way to go, eventually

      1. sinik
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 10 months ago

        gotta find some midfield room for City then if we're ignoring Kun outright..

    2. Adderz
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      No Sergio?

      1. sinik
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 10 months ago

        that's the thing..tough choices..if Di Maria gets up pace I suppose you could get him in mid and Aguero up top

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

      Welbeck vs Aguero

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

    Do we think Jovetic will drop before the next gameweek starts?

    1. LOCO ABREU
      • 14 Years

      probably

  16. Mr_Partridge

  17. La Roja

    So Manu doesn't see arsenal as competitor for CL spot?

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

      they do they just dont feel they are strengthening them in any way

    2. TheDogTor

      United are competing for champs league spot?

  18. ZE GERMANS

    Apparently, we are in for Huntelaar..Arsenal trolling again.

  19. brsauer
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Mata to Sigg or Fabr

    or hold

    1. World XI
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Hold for now

  20. Mojo Rojo
    • 13 Years

    Sadio Mane has scored 45 goals in 86 games for Red Bull Salzburg :O

    1. LOCO ABREU
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      he's a top signing

      -----tadic----
      long-pelle-mane?

      end of jwp?

      1. Mojo Rojo
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 10 months ago

        JWP has looked impressive the past few weeks. Would be a shame to see him benched.

    2. World XI
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Has it gone through?

      1. Mojo Rojo
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Looks very likely... Wish Southampton all the best after what they've been through

    3. Miami Monkey
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Can't take that at face value. Salzburg destroy that league. Their strikers get like a hattrick a match

  21. lickwidice
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Ended up doing:

    Bojan --> Naismith
    &
    Chambers --> Clyne

    both were FT's. Good moves?

    Team:
    Bego
    Chester, Terry,Clyne
    Sigurdsson,Mata,Fabregas,Ramsey(Young)
    Naismith, Rooney, Costa

    Any better moves you could think of?

    1. Del Griffith
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      yep, Mata to sterling

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

        hmmm good one but not worth a hit right? only if FT?

      What is he accused of?

      1. Wouter
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Assaulting a neighbour with a wine bottle.

        1. Wilshere Knowledge
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 10 months ago

          Wow.

      2. World XI
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Arguing with his neighbor. What he did after is disclosed

      3. Captain Shirokov
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 10 months ago

        He bottled his neighbour

      4. LOCO ABREU
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 10 months ago

        75% of the pass belongs to fund of businessman

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

      Falcao to play def?

  23. Ad4m
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 10 months ago

    If you're a member and do the Stat comparison Welbeck to Pod it's really close - I think I'd probably go with Pod given the aerial threat

    I certainly wouldn't say that Welbeck is a shoe in for a starting berth

    1. sinik
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      of course he would be. he's not going to leave one bench spot for another..

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

      Welbeck can hold up the ball well, and is also good at bringing other people into play - Podolski is an unbelievable finisher, but can't do either of those things, which is why he's not great on his own up front.

    3. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Forget your stats, I watch Podolski, and he cannot play the lone striker role.

      Hes better than rooney and RvP is probably out

        Doesn't mean much. There are at least 2 better pen takers than Gerrard for Liverpool.

          Gerrard has a very good record on pens over a long time. No way he's losing them.

      Doubt it.

      If RVP goes in for surgery, yes.

    Welbeck's agent via @talkSPORT - "Danny doesn't want to go on loan. He wants a straight transfer and he has every right to say that."

    Man Utd can easily afford falcao's wage now they have got Anderson off the lunch bill

        rumoured to be going to Burnley on loan

    So which is likely to be the better

    Hendo as 5th midfielder with Naismith on bench for 352 formation
    OR
    Welbeck as 3rd striker with cheap benchwarmer midfielder on 343 formation

    1. Epic Fail

      A

    2. Del Griffith
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 10 months ago

      I thought about the Hendo/Naismith rotation and it will obv work but the way both teams are set up they will both do well home and away so I'm just going with Hendo
