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Laurent Koscielny was withdrawn midway through the first-half of yesterday’s trip to Leicester after sustaining a head injury.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 Fellow forward Dwight Gayle was also withdrawn at St James’ Park after sustaining an ankle knock but is expected to be fit in time for Gameweek 4.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Similar to Chelsea’s Hazard, Romelu Lukaku has also withdrawn from international duties for Belgium due to a small injury.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 Louis van Gaal has since stated the Spaniard was withdrawn due to cramp.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Newcastle right-back Daryl Janmaat was withdrawn with just three minutes left of Saturday’s clash against Palace after picking up a knock.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Danny Rose was withdrawn midway through the second-half of yesterday’s home loss to Liverpool with a leg problem.

    Welbeck worth getting now he off to arsenal?

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

      Wait to see if he starts. Could be a steal, obviously.

    2. Return Of Chamakh
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      6.9, could be interesting! What would the pecking order be I guess, very important

      Fixtures allow us to wait a few weeks, but if he is nailed on, than id be all over that

    Please help. I want to do

    Eriksen -> Fabregas

    but I need to get a hit. Which one is better?

    a) Dzeko -> Pelle

    or

    b) Debuchy -> Wilson

    I have the exact cash so I need to be fast.

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

      Dzeko looks like 3rd man ATM.

    2. Return Of Chamakh
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I'd maybe go with Wilson, debuchy hasn't exactly set the world on fire yet and Dzeko is so consistent season to season with getting the points somehow

    3. Mr_Partridge

      Quite happy, taken a young England international from an old rival...

      Still has to go through though

    4. El Muñeco

      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      When you look at the strikers to have moved, arsenal fans will feel aggrieved. Doesn't solve the giroud injury, just adds another body of less than equal quality

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

    City: Aguero Dzeko Jovetic
    United: RVP Rooney Falcao
    Liverpool: Sturridge Balotelli Sterling
    Chelsea: Costa Drogba Remy

    Arsenal: Giroud Sanogo Welbeck

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

      My point exactly

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

        But if you can count Sterling, then you can count Sanchez

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

      That United front line 😯

    3. â­ Bemba_Da â­
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      sanchez, walcott, podolski, campbell

      missing players off for some reason

    4. SW6
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      If you're gonna use Sterling for Liverpool not Borini, you have to use Sanchez for Arsenal not Sanogo

    5. New Ghost
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      if you're putting sterling in there you might as well add alexis and theo to ours you fool

      1. â­ Bemba_Da â­
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        and walcott

      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      City, United and Liverpool all play two up front. Makes a difference.

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

      Arsenal: Giroud, Podolski, Walcott, Sanchez, Campbell, Welbz?

    7. Andy1
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Utd: jones, smalling, Evans
      Arsenal: mertersacker, Koscielny , chambers

      More even now

      Compare whole teams

  5. The Mandalorian

    Apparently, Falcao is stuck outside Manchester City after asking the Taxi driver to take him to the biggest club in Manchester.

  7. LOCO ABREU

    Cleverley to Everton will only happen if Man Utd agree to a loan...time is marching on and no-one has blinked yet.

  8. Wouter
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Why pay 16 million for Welbeck when Bony is out there for 20-25?

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

      Bony is a better scorer, Welbeck is more rounded.

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

        Isn't that exactly what this Arsenal team needs? They've got enough quality around the striker in Ozil, Ramsey, Alexis, etc. They just need that one player who can get a pass and calmly slot it away.

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

          Our striker needs to be a mix between a 9 and a 10.

          Everyone else wants us to have a straight 9, but that's never been us.

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

      Ring Wenger ;-!

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

      Because we're mugs, apparently.

    4. Return Of Chamakh
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      God, Bony would have absolutely killed it at Arsenal!

      *wipes brow in relief as a tottenham fan*

    5. Jairzinho
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      £9m is a lot more money tbh.

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

        A club like Arsenal, who before the window stated they have the capital to spend, can easily spend that.

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

      I case you didn't notice, 16 is lower than 20-25 😉

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

        So? If that 9 million gives you a better chance of winning the league, you should spend it if you're a club like Arsenal.

  9. Sunny 😎

    "We've agreed a deal for a striker. They're at the training ground now trying to finish it. He has played in the Premier League but he's not currently at a Premier League side. We're bringing him in on loan. You will know who he is in about an hour's time."

    What do people make of RVP's rumoured knee op? Very nervous draft mini league owner...

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

      he's dead, falcao signing also

    2. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      RVP is done

      Looks old and knackered

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

      It seems so much more likely considering the cash that was just spent on a new striker

  11. Reed_Rothchild
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Falcao and Blind the players to get for ManU

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

      Or none.

      Too much points spread now imo

    2. Podge
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Only if Blind is listed as a def

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

        Agreed i think hell be a mid, and not evennailed on

    2. Syd.

        It's like McDonald's all over again! 🙂

  13. Reed_Rothchild
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    I guess Sterling Siggy Ramsey Fabregas is the template midfield.

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

      Fabregas isnt really, the other 3 for sure

    2. LOCO ABREU

      1. Woy of the Wovers
        • 15 Years

        Nope.

    Nick Powell heading to Leicester on loan it seems

    could be a nice 5th mid option

      Great player, loved him @ Crewe. Should have never taken money over game time at Man U. Would be great if he started for leicester. A lot of quality and still young.

    "There's a lot of people here outside Manchester United's training ground waiting to catch a glimpse of Radamel Falcao. It certainly seems he has not come in through the front door."

    "There are a few farmers lanes around here where they could smuggle him in. We assume a medical is taking place but we have not witnessed the man himself."

        at £5m-6m and them selling Negredo for £24m, you'd think they could go for it - even if just to piss off their rivals.
