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Laurent Koscielny was withdrawn midway through the first-half of yesterday’s trip to Leicester after sustaining a head injury.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 injuryâ€.

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 Fellow forward Dwight Gayle was also withdrawn at St James’ Park after sustaining an ankle knock but is expected to be fit in time for Gameweek 4.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Similar to Chelsea’s Hazard, Romelu Lukaku has also withdrawn from international duties for Belgium due to a small injury.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 Louis van Gaal has since stated the Spaniard was withdrawn due to cramp.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Newcastle right-back Daryl Janmaat was withdrawn with just three minutes left of Saturday’s clash against Palace after picking up a knock.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Danny Rose was withdrawn midway through the second-half of yesterday’s home loss to Liverpool with a leg problem.

      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

  5. Ady87
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Does anyone think those potentially rising tonight might be double risers or not? Wondering whether to activate WC yet or not.

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

      Transfer activity will die after tomorrow.

    2. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Possibly. I have activated my WC to get some of the little gems that have shown at the start. Don't get too hung up on Rises. The next window may be the one for that

      1. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Sorry - I meant international window on October

  9. Yome
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Is it better to play the WC a few gameweeks after the break to see how the new signings settled?

    1. Twelve years a slave
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      If you want to pay higher prices, feel free to wait

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

        New players are protected for 10 days

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

          10 days still puts us inside this gameweek.

    2. Mull
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      It's better to use it when you need to use it.

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

      That's what I'm planning on doing, if enough players I don't already have, or can't get in with a reasonable set of regular transfers, start performing.

      Let's go!

  11. Sunny 😎
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    A season long loan for Negredo could mean Falcao coming in. Hmm..

    1. Fifa las vegas
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Nah, feck off! He's ours...

      1. Sunny 😎
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        I don't care as long as I'm able to get him into my FPL team..

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

      Falcao trolling Utd?

      Too old and expensive for Citeh.

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

    Should I get Burnley or Leicester defender?

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

      4.0, so Duff or Moore

      1. Fifa las vegas
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Moore

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

          Thanks

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

      Get schlupped.

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

    Cleverley and Borini need to sack their agents. both moves were ideal for the players careers if not bank balance

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

      Agreed but I suspect Borini believes himself good enough for Liverpool and unhappy at the thought of having to leave again. Cleverley thinks far too much of himself as well.

  14. RoyaleBlue
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Have now sorted out the link to my team (I hope) and have dropped you both an email.

    @ⒿⓉ`Ⓢ ⒹⓄⒼ☠ ING…

    @THE MISSING LINK

    Thanks guys

    1. RoyaleBlue
      • 14 Years

      Dam it link is still not sorted not sure whats happening there :/

    2. Valar(Keith)
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      apt that you were talking to the missing link 😆

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

        haha see what you did there

  15. LOCO ABREU

    11 years, 3 months ago

    BREAKING: AS Roma have signed Newcastle defender Mapou Yanga Mbiwa on loan.
    Full story: http://bit.ly/GFFNDDay #ASR #NUFC #GFFNDDayLIVE

    1. LOCO ABREU
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      had him last season when he scored -4pts in a gw. Go away!!

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

      terrible defender

    3. Olivier Bernards watch
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      This is typical pardew. Mbiwa has a great deal of potential, and could become a really good centre half, whereas Steven Taylor is really nothing but a liability, on higher wages, and Pardew chooses to let Mbiwa go and keep Taylor.

  16. Somalion
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    And suddenly, out of the van steps not Falcao but the man, the beast, the legend.

    Cleverly wants £80k a week

    1. 50shades of o'shea
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Knowing the market these days especially the inflation of English players someone will pay it.

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

      Borini apparently wants £90k per week.

      Happy to sit on Liverpool bench then.

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

  18. Ed
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Ok I have both Mata + Rooney.

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

      Of course you do it tonight. It's a one in a lifetime chance to play with four strikers. 😀

    2. Twelve years a slave
      • 15 Years

    1. Mr_Partridge
      • 11 Years

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

      No, because Man U aren't in Europe Nate.

      1. The Machine
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Not even europa?

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

          Unfortunately not, because they finished 7th in the league last year Nate.

  21. LMNO

    BBC: Arsenal and Manchester United have agreed a fee of £16m for Danny Welbeck

    1. JWF
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Reasonable value.

      1. Sunny 😎
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Remy £8m and Welbeck £16m.

      2. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Over prices. Spanish equivalent would be 5m

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

      decent value these days

    3. Not Irish
      • 12 Years

      Horrible.

    4. Nomar

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

          Yes, seriously. Mate, when you're going into the season with Sanogo as your main striker, Wellbeck is a huge signing!
