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Laurent Koscielny was withdrawn midway through the first-half of yesterday’s trip to Leicester after sustaining a head injury.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 Fellow forward Dwight Gayle was also withdrawn at St James’ Park after sustaining an ankle knock but is expected to be fit in time for Gameweek 4.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Similar to Chelsea’s Hazard, Romelu Lukaku has also withdrawn from international duties for Belgium due to a small injury.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 Louis van Gaal has since stated the Spaniard was withdrawn due to cramp.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Newcastle right-back Daryl Janmaat was withdrawn with just three minutes left of Saturday’s clash against Palace after picking up a knock.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Danny Rose was withdrawn midway through the second-half of yesterday’s home loss to Liverpool with a leg problem.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

    Welbeck off
    Hernandez off
    RVP knee op

    Leaves Falcao and Rooney upfront for the season? Back-up?

    1. Not Irish
      • 12 Years

      James Wilson

    2. AgentRed
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      If that were the case then I think James Wilson would get some minutes as back up

    Is it absolutely mental to get rid of Ramsey now? They have some really tough games coming up.

    1. A.T
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      You must have a decent team if that's your major concern. I'd keep him.

      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I said this and people laughed. 😛 And I came to my senses!

      Season keeper.

    2. Jones Town
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I've got a midfield of Mata - Ramsey - Sterling - Fab - Albrighton and need space for Siggy!

      I am seriously close to chucking Ramsey tonight...

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

        If on a wildcard it's not a bad idea to take him out, especially with Walcott back soon

        The fixtures are rubbish

  3. MJ6987
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    If people are saying that Welbeck is a bargain at 6.9, then surely Jovetic is an absolute steal at a shade over that!?

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

      Welbeck would start though

      1. MJ6987
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        You think he'll be nailed?

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

          While Giroud is out I think he will.

          • 12 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Yes. This is the difference.

    2. Think Tank
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Depends on starts though - think Aguero and Dzeko will be preferred starting line-up.

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

      Welbeck would be a nailed on striker, Jovetic would be a rotation prone support striker.

    4. Leaf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Welbeck could well get the line central striker role at arsenal for 3 months

      Being teed up by Ozil & Alexis

      Jovetic cleans Agueros boots

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      11 years, 3 months ago

      Welbeck is a LOT better.

      1. Think Tank
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        That too.

      2. MJ6987
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Not sure about that.

        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        a LOT? 😕

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

      Welbeck the only striker at Arsenal though

      1. Think Tank
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        1.3m cheaper is a big difference this early into the season.

  4. Les Bleus
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    You think jones is still nailed on for united?

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

      Yes

      1. Les Bleus
        • 14 Years

        Cheers

    Interesting to see Welbeck at Arsenal .. 2 years ago He was miles ahead of Sturridge .. their career has gone in two different directions since then..

    Will be good if He can regain his old magic

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

      Welbeck Magic (WM) 😉

  6. Bolivian Seaman
    • 15 Years

    Celtic got a good striker in Guidetti

    Very happy for Micah Richards. Shame he didn't leave City a couple of years ago.

      1. LOCO ABREU
        • 13 Years

        yeah lots of players there doing nothing now

  9. copps

    Falcao deal to fall through when they find out his passport has him at 34 years old

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

    I can understand why Falcao would want to go to Man Utd - but why would Monaco want to get rid? It's not like they need the money - or is it?

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

      their owner got a bit tired of spending a lot last year and now want it all back

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

      Their owner is already overreacting to lack of results. Circus over there.

    3. Podge
      • 14 Years

      Fifa fair play starting to bite ?

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

      They made it clear they wanted to sell to try and attract Real, then they offered him to Arsenal, City, CHelsea and United, they seem to be selling all their stock off.

    5. Takun
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      The owner wife just divorced him so she took half of everything and got 4.5billion
      so he is just offloading everything

    6. Pasqualinho
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Thanks all. Sounds a bit like Portsmouth - although doesn't look much like Portsmouth...

    Please let this Vidal rumour be true

    1. MJ6987
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Vidal to United has been a rumour all summer but it seems to have died.

      1. Zasa

        11 years, 3 months ago

        This. Juve said the deadline was August 15 so they could find a replacement, MUN lowballed & they declined, that was the end of it really apparently. Even if they offered the 40m, it's too late & last minute for Allegri

    Where I come from, hockey is supposed to be played on ice not grass! I am sure i can adapt to the field game! Anyone need an extra player?

    1. Wilshere Knowledge

      Hockey hasn't been played on grass for a long time! 😆

  16. funny money
    • 16 Years

    welbeck solves the walcott sick note issue to some extent - he is an option on the wing. Good signing - will also hold the ball up nicely too alone up front.

    Sandro interview:

            Think JWP is nailed for now. Can see Long dropping to the bench and either Tadic or Mane playing on the right wing.
