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Laurent Koscielny was withdrawn midway through the first-half of yesterday’s trip to Leicester after sustaining a head injury.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 Fellow forward Dwight Gayle was also withdrawn at St James’ Park after sustaining an ankle knock but is expected to be fit in time for Gameweek 4.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Similar to Chelsea’s Hazard, Romelu Lukaku has also withdrawn from international duties for Belgium due to a small injury.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 Louis van Gaal has since stated the Spaniard was withdrawn due to cramp.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Newcastle right-back Daryl Janmaat was withdrawn with just three minutes left of Saturday’s clash against Palace after picking up a knock.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Danny Rose was withdrawn midway through the second-half of yesterday’s home loss to Liverpool with a leg problem.

    So did the same source break the RVP injury story also break the Costa story? or does this news about Rvp needing surgery have truth to it?

        That was my exact reaction.... and we now know why Wenger left the country this morning.

    4. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      He's ok. Pretty much confirms Arsenal won't be challenging for the title though.

  4. Tony Warner Fan Club
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Will have to watch Welbeck as a potential 3rd striker I guess.

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

      Sanogo > Welbeck

    2. In Like Flynn.

      7.0 just about brings him in that bracket. Few weeks to settle in.

    25% - The chance conversion rate of both Daniel Sturridge and Danny Welbeck in the Premier League last season. Matched.

    Welbz up top at Arsenal will score goals. Gutted he has gone

      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Yep. Similar to Studge, he just needs a chance to prove himself.

  6. Tim Canterbury

    Rooney has started extra training to compete with Falcao

      1. Canadian Football
        • 14 Years

        SAF got him to do it a few seasons ago. He was brilliant in that role!

        • 15 Years

        That could happen now

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

    Ben Arfa to Hull rumours... 5.8 currently. Worth a watch?

      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Definitely, second striker maybe.

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

        If he plays OOP I'd be tempted! So inconsistent though. I'd take him for 4.5 haha 😉

        Yes Falcao but no more signings

    If welbeck had signed last month and sanchez deadline day people would be going mental saying what an amazing transfer window

    However people here are now saying arsenal had a poor transfer window?

    Just makes them look silly

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

      Still didn't sign a DM and a 4th CB

      1. Carrick Doesn't Deserv…
        • 12 Years

        Smalling, Evans, Jones, Rojo

            4 CBs

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

              I mean Arsenal need a 4th CB, why do you come with the 4 CB of United?

    3. theloveburglar

      11 years, 3 months ago

      there are gaping holes all the way down the spine of that arsenal team

      their keeper is gash in no way world class

      per mertesacker turns like a tractor and is ripped up every big team they come across liverpool putting 5 past them chelsea and city putting 6 past them last season confirm this

      they also lack a midfielder of any steel whatsoever and persist with small technically gifted but weak midfielders.. see the almost yearly defeats to the likes of stoke and anyone else who decide to use their physicality to bully them as arsenals midfield curl up into a little ball

      in the name of christ united took 4 points off ur lot last season in our worst season in near 25 years

      wenger needs to address those issues

      1. Yome
        • 14 Years

    2. Wilshere Knowledge

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

    Surprised that Soton are letting Ramirez go and let Taider leave and not considerin a replacement.. Koeman must have a lot of faith in JWP/Davis etc. could be a bargain on our hands in jwp

    1. 50shades of o'shea
      • 11 Years

      Huge bargain. Quality dead ball deliveries is a huge aspect of his gameplay

      1. Valar(Keith)
        • 16 Years

        if Soton dont sign anyone he is straight in for me

    Embarassed by some of the reactions to Welbeck from Arsenal fans... I know it's not Costa or Falcao but think he could be a very good signing for us.. Just what we need in a lot of ways.. Hope it works out well for him, us and England 🙂

    1. funny money
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      He offers the versatility that we need - cover up front and on the wing.

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

      id be more embarrassed by the fans who have given welbeck an awful time over the years as a man u player and are now looking at him as some kind of messiah

      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years

      Some club fans aren't fully happy until the club bankrupts itself, gives them something to really moan about. Ask Leeds fans.

    Yo!
    Pls need some advice on my team! My mid and front is fine I guess, but my def is making me wanna WC. Also with new signings coming in its uberørt tempting to pull out the WC!

    Team;
    Foster/Krul

    Clyne/Cahill/Chamber/Wisdom/Dummett

    Ramsey/Fabregas/Sterling/Sigurdsson/Marney

    Rooney/Costa/Adebayor

    Took a -4 earlier this week to get rid of Young and Lamela for Marney and Sterling.

    If I WC now it will cancel the -4 out right??

    Suggestions please 🙂

  22. 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.

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

      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) 😛

      1. Well you know, Triffic
        • 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 😉

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

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

  23. 50shades of o'shea
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    I hope I was right in saying falcao will not go to Manchester United

    1. Obi Wan Elokobi
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      It'll be wrong for him to turn that amount of money down.

    2. Licky
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      He is going there, 3 other English clubs he was offered to have already pulled out of a deal over concerns regarding finances and in City's case his knee problem.

      They'll still sign him, if only to appease the fans.

    United fans not liking Welbeck being sold to Arsenal, you took Rvp from them. Have a heart.

    Terry to Ivanovic?

    Ivanovic possibly rising. Terry probably falling in price. And the former in form.
