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Laurent Koscielny was withdrawn midway through the first-half of yesterday’s trip to Leicester after sustaining a head injury.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 Fellow forward Dwight Gayle was also withdrawn at St James’ Park after sustaining an ankle knock but is expected to be fit in time for Gameweek 4.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Similar to Chelsea’s Hazard, Romelu Lukaku has also withdrawn from international duties for Belgium due to a small injury.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 Louis van Gaal has since stated the Spaniard was withdrawn due to cramp.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Newcastle right-back Daryl Janmaat was withdrawn with just three minutes left of Saturday’s clash against Palace after picking up a knock.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Danny Rose was withdrawn midway through the second-half of yesterday’s home loss to Liverpool with a leg problem.

    have a feeling united holding on to welbeck until they are sure falcao signs

    If not they keep welbeck

      I agree with this, no way we'll let Chica and Welbeck leave without someone coming in

        absolutely, no chance they will. All dependant on falcao medical/personal terms

    Gaston could have better luck at Hull and come back to claim a place. Makes sense for everyone.

      Does he just need regular football Lucy? He looked a decent player at times from the little I saw of him.

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

        That's what I feel and we can't offer it to him at the moment.

        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Similar to HBA. Needs lovin' and needs a solid team behind him.... i.e. Hudds/Diame.

      2. In Like Flynn.
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 15 Years

        Thanks both, I shall watch with interest.

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

    Never heard of mane before.. who's place does he threaten in the Soton lineup? long/pelle or JWP?

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

      He's a winger. Not sure what will happen to the first 11

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

        ah.. cheers. and here i though JWP would become the bargain mid in fpl. will prob end up with that title in a few weeks but too much uncertainty now

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

      I think that Long will swarm around Pelle, JRod on the left, Mane on the right with Tadic behind the two strikers.

      Would mean that they might have to play a 4-4-2 diamond or 4-1-3-2 formation?

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

        Wanyama and Schneiderlin are a brilliant midfield partnership and I believe Morgan is at his best when he has a proper DM next to him. Can't see Koeman breaking them up. Not all of our attacking options will play together. A decent PL team needs options and depth.

    3. The Gobstopper
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I watched him play against Malmo and was pretty impressed. I figured it wouldn't be too long before he got a chance in a major league...

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

    United knew Falcao had suffered an ACL injury. I'm sure they'll press ahead anyway.

        Btw. You guys pretty quick.

  6. 50shades of o'shea
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    I'm not sure if it's just me and I know I can't read minds. But people raving about welbeck now when he is going to move to arsenal never thought he was good before.

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

      Yep clutching at straws.

    2. Well you know, Triffic
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      yeah this is the only thing that bothers me.

    3. Leaf

      Because at united he was Welshit

      Now he's joined the mighty Arsenal he is fantastic

      We can be fickle 🙂

      *if it does not go through he is Welshit again

    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Rory Smith on 5Live saying Sanchez could rival Welbeck for the lone striker role?

    Even suggesting Sanchez would start the big games, and Welbeck against smaller teams?

    😕 Surely not Wenger?!

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

      Other way round if anything. I think Welbeck will start regularly though.

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

      Well Sanchez is a different class.

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

      Not after the Everton game.

        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        and even since, he hasn't been great. I think he just likes being a bit different this guy.

        Him trying to ruin my FPL plans! 👿 😉

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

      Wenger said many times Sanchez will play as a striker. Remember he turned Henry from a winger into a lethal striker

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

        Sanchez not half the player Henry was though

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

          Henry wasn't great when he signed for Arsenal. Sanchez is great and can only get better

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

            This

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

          Well Henry got at his best after joining Arsenal. Wenger discovered talents in him and made him a great player. Sanchez could improve much more under Wenger

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

      Really don't see Alexis playing up top on his own until the future especially the
      Performance he put in at Everton in that role

    6. Dr Dream
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Just total rubbish....Two entirely different sort of players for entirely different styles of play...Arsenal have a problem in that Ozil Santi Sanchez are all much of a muchness....Welbeck add height and a bit of a bulldozer quality...as Giroud does...

        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        And both are better technically than given credit for. This is how I saw it.. totally nailed.

        1. Dr Dream
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          On yeah...def.. Look at Liverpool, they have a great mix of skill, pace, muscle, passing right across the squad. If Arsenal just play with small skillful players then the likes of Shawcross and Vlaar will have field day..Like swatting flies.

    7. Zasa
      • 11 Years

      We're in the CL thanks to Alexis 😉

  7. Towsor44
    • 13 Years

    Hoping delay in Falcao announcement is cos City have gatecrashed the deal now that Negredo is going and Aguero won't last the season 🙂

    1. Obi Wan Elokobi
      • 14 Years

      Falcaos wage. 15 million a year.

        You're pulling my leg, right? 😉

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

          Yeah it's actually 18.2 million a year.

    • 12 Years

    Welbeck has scored 29 goals in 142 for United. So we can expect about 6 goals this season?

    1. Well you know, Triffic
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Dat record.

    2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

      Played out of position most times

      averages a goal every 2 games when played cf

      His stats when he starts aren't bad though.

      hate all this simplifying of debates. just football loyalties making boring discussions.

      And how many "games" were 1 to 10 minute appearances? Probably most.

  10. TheCurseOfRaheem
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    As strange as it sounds, any excitement from the Falcao deal has been diminished by this Welbeck sale. Not happy.

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

      rvp, rooney falcao not enough?

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

        Not about that. I'd rather not have Falcao despite his quality.

        Danny is a local lad who has a lot of potential and it isn't nice to see him go, let alone to Arsenal.

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

      Same here. 🙁

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

      Come on man. Welbeck is a decent player but he's a striker that doesn't really score goals.

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

        Honestly, I think Danny can develop in to a really great player given the time but unfortunately we aren't able to provide him the opportunities he deserves. This Falcao deal is a strange one and although it will potentially help us, can't help but be sad about Welbeck leaving. Local lad, came through the academy, wanted him to succeed.

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

          Yeah, I hear ya

  11. davies
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Can anyone explain as to what type of player Tom Lawrence is?

    1. mattyrobinson
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Bench warmer.

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

      Mainly plays as a No10 but can operate out wide or up top. He's an exciting player, not a goal scorer but more of a creator.

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

        Oh god. We need a goal scorer, we could've won yesterday if we had someone to finish these chances.

    to the person asking why United fans are upset Welbeck is leaving. he was one of the young local lads brought through the academy. was with the club from 8/9 years old.

    a lot of us wanted to see him come good at United.

    Funny how Tigers fans cheering at HBA being announced and silent when Gaston was mentioned. It's like they haven't watch either of them play! Last time I saw HBA at St Mary's he was carrying about 30lbs more than he should and ran like he was carrying 60lbs more!

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

      Gaston has a much lower PL profile. I think it's a good move for all parties.

      Prefer Ramirez signing for consistency but with HBA you never know what you get. I hope he explodes for us and reignites his career.

    Is Wenger really not going to sign a CB?

    I believe we only have Chambers as senior cover for Mert and Kos, so that's a massive risk.

    1. funny money

      flamini/arteta as DCM coverage even worse

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

        Well, we do have Coquelin waiting in the wings

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

          that is highly optimistic

      can't believe he would be that negligent

    Welbeck is a lucky guy, will play in the UCL and Rvp, Di maria, Falcao, Rooney and Mata won't

        What's the point in being in it if you can't win it?

        Next season United will be contenders for European Champions. Arsenal, never!

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

      No chance of winning it though. Manchester could win it in 1-2 years with this team.

  23. Tim Canterbury
    • 14 Years

    Utd likely to take Falcao on permanently at the end of the season for £57m

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

      I heard £43 mill.

      Probably Woodward "bartering" again 😉

      bargain by their standards

  24. gtf

    Hows my proposed squad look:

    Krul - Eliott
    Terry - Clyne - Rose - Robertson - Moore
    Ramsey - Sterling - Siggy - JWP - Boyd
    Falcao - Aguero - Costa

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

      Needs more deadline day relevance.

      costa

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        This. Looks like scoring virtually every game.

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

      Welbeck 🙂

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

      Falcao and Welbeck apparently

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

      Welbeck and Falcao if he signs.

      Also keep an eye on HBA and Gaston

  26. Wolverine
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Does it really take this long for LVG to explain his philosophy to falcao?

    1. Fifa las vegas

    2. Wirtzle Gummidge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      He hasn't even finished expalining it to the rest of the squad.

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

      He's still got to show Falcao his balls.

    Good luck Micah Richards

    Never fulfilled his early promise

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

      +1 A shame he's leaving the BPL

      1. Gaz Downright
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        I think it's good if he goes somewhere that will actually play him instead of rotting on the bench in one of these sticky oil clubs.
