Injuries

The Treatment Table – Gameweek 30

We scour the weekend’s matches and analyse the post-match reports for news of any fresh injury concerns ahead of double Gameweek 31:

Arsenal
Reports suggest Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain was replaced by Thomas Vermaelen with five minutes left of yesterday’s win over Spurs due to a tight calf. Nicklas Bendtner missed the north London derby win as a result of illness, according to Arsene Wenger.

Aston Villa
Gabby Agbonlahor was withdrawn in Saturday evening’s win over Chelsea with a calf complaint. Paul Lambert remains optimistic the forward will be ready for Sunday’s home clash with Stoke:

“Gabby had a little problem at half-time just with his calf and so we watched it and took him off because we still have masses of games to play – I think he’ll be okay.”

Everton
Gareth Barry needs to be assessed after suffering a shin problem in Everton’s win over Cardiff. Roberto Martinez rolled out an update on the midfielder, who picked up the problem following a strong challenge by the Bluebirds’ Kevin Theophile-Catherine:

“Gareth has stud marks on his shin. It’s a strong knock but it didn’t affect any joints so that’s the reason he could carry on. I haven’t seen the replay, but I believe the player has both feet off the ground and he doesn’t get the ball so it was a reckless, violent challenge.”

Fulham
The Cottagers record signing Kostas Mitroglou failed to make the weekend win over Newcastle after picking up a knee problem, whilst Darren Bent was unavailable due to “personal reasons” once again, though is expected to return next week. Goalscorer Ashkan Dejagah is an early concern for Saturday’s trip to the Etihad after he was forced off towards the end of the 1-0 triumph. The Iranian emerged from the benched to grab the winner but lasted just 26 minutes, with manager Felix Magath revealing:

“It’s too early to talk about it. He was injured before and has done almost the same thing. I’m afraid it might last a bit longer this time.”

Man United
Chris Smalling’s run of six straight league starts came to an end yesterday after he missed the home clash against Liverpool with a hamstring injury.

Southampton
Dejan Lovren was forced off towards the end of Saturday’s 4-2 win over Norwich with a groin problem. Mauricio Pochettino revealed after the match that the Croatian suffered the most tender of injuries:

“Basically, one of his testicles was stepped on by another player and I’m pretty sure that one testicle is quite inflamed, quite swollen.”

Stoke
Erik Pieters was subbed off with less than 15 minutes on the clock after sustaining a muscle injury. Post-match, the Dutchman gave an update on the problem after a trip to the hospital:

“Had my first scan in half time and I’m happy to say everything it’s ok. Weekend rest and see how it’s on Monday.”

Sunderland
Steven Fletcher lasted just 45 minutes of Saturday’s goalless draw before limping off at half-time with an ankle injury, with Jozy Altidore now looking in pole position for the central role ahead of the Black Cats’ double Gameweek.

West Brom
Morgan Amalfitano was ruled out of Saturday’s win over Swansea after picking up a knock in training, according to reports in the local press.

    A - Silva

    or

    B - Kompany

    Silva hasn't scored a goal since 14th Dec but could get another 40 points this season.

      I wonder how long they can afford to keep Moyes in charge -- the casual or plastic fans unliking them and not buying their kits might be welcome to leave as far as the diehards are concerned, but this season is killing their brand, which in turn is going to impact their ability to purchase more players.

        Surely the shareholders will be very concerned about the forever dropping share price? May be the reasons behind the Mata/Rooney deals, to keep the share price up.

          I am a massive Boston Red Sox fan and we endured a similar crisis - 2012/13 had poor results, low TV ratings, ineffective managers and unlikable overpriced superstars. John Henry authorized the sale of three of the biggest jerks to an even dumber club and the firing of the manager, and we restored the brand in less than a year.

          It can be done but United need to accept mistakes and move on.

    Interesting conversation on SSG in the last page. I just did some calculations. Here are SSG's returns in the last 5 games.

    Suarez 5,2,5,15,11
    Gerrard 9,11,2,8,13
    Sturridge 6,15,16,2,4

    As you can see, since GW 25, there's always at least one fail (less than 6 points) in there among the trio for every given week. I dunno, I think there are better picks in midfield than to go for Gerrard especially since he's only scored penalties (four, five if you count one against Arsenal in the Cup) in that time period. Surely he can't continue to get penalties on such a regular basis (every other game practically).

      Starting with GW6, Gerrard has blanked 4 times. One of those was a 29 min cameo after his return from his hammy injury.

      as i mention above, its about the personnel gaining the penos....studge, suarez n sterling aint going to suddenly stop running fast or falling over when the slow def makes a ham fisted attempt at stoppin em................ i say they have a high probability to continue

      you seem dead set to convince yourself otherwise tho 😉

    Already did Mata ----> Toure

    Should I...

    a) Rooney and Lallana - No hit

    b) Suarez + 6.6 (Sterling or Henderson) - minus 8
