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Laurent Koscielny was withdrawn midway through the first-half of yesterday’s trip to Leicester after sustaining a head injury.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 Fellow forward Dwight Gayle was also withdrawn at St James’ Park after sustaining an ankle knock but is expected to be fit in time for Gameweek 4.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Similar to Chelsea’s Hazard, Romelu Lukaku has also withdrawn from international duties for Belgium due to a small injury.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 Louis van Gaal has since stated the Spaniard was withdrawn due to cramp.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Newcastle right-back Daryl Janmaat was withdrawn with just three minutes left of Saturday’s clash against Palace after picking up a knock.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Danny Rose was withdrawn midway through the second-half of yesterday’s home loss to Liverpool with a leg problem.

    6. Baa
      • 13 Years

      One more try, Haz or Fab?

      1. Frank Black

        Hazard.

      2. BruLee

      Marseille confirm that West Ham have signed Morgan Amalfitano. The midfielder was on loan at West Brom last year. #deadlineday #whufc

      Sleep tight Doos!

    8. Somalion
      • 15 Years

      Negredo leaving, Dzeko staying in my team 😎

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

        And Jovetic?

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

          Can sod off. 😉

          1. Yome
            • 14 Years

            I like that, I own Dzeko too 😉

        Jovetic hasn't left you muppet

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

          Did I say he had? Dzeko however gives a better physical presence.

        nice copy and paste fail there

      2. Sess!
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Januzaj/young is a glaring weak link. Think mata will be stuck back out there.

      3. Del Monte
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Cuadrado

      4. djenzio
        • 11 Years

        that defence....sigh

    10. Demí
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Chelsea will walk the league this year, any doubts i had fully erased after the first 3 games.

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

        without doubt

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

        City again imo. Would have said Arsenal if they'd had a better transfer window

        1. Chelsea Dagger
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          A little worries about the striker situation for City. Aguero is excellent but hurt often. Negredo was big for a good part of last season but is now gone. Jove ... who knows.

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

            don't know why they got rid of Negredo....he was so good last season and Dzek/Jove not up to scatch yet

      3. Heydudes13
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Diego Costa top scorer prediction looking good.

      4. JK - Cønt ⭐
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        yup, looking really strong and well balanced

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

        I'm waiting till the City game before making comments like that. But we should win the league if not run away with it.

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

        Indeed, this is appealing:
        Hilario out; Courtois in
        Luiz out; Zouma in
        Cole out; Luis in
        Lampard out; Cesc in
        Eto'o out, Costa in
        Ba out; Drogba in
        Torres out; Remy in

      7. Timtastic03
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Costa injury could pull them back.

      8. Bartowski
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Yep, ridiculously strong

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

          They could do with a couple of decent CBs

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

        City or Chelsea, but more likely Chelsea due to motivation in my opinion.

    11. Sess!
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      As long as Falcao comes in 11.5m or less I reckon you can get a balanced team with Aguero, Falcao, Costa frontline. Just means some sacrifices of likes of Ivan.

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

        Falcao and Costa yes. Kun...no.

        1. Sess!
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Maybe one too far......welbeck at arsenal could work.

      2. Heydudes13
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Diego Costa Falcao Naismith brings great balance.

        1. JK - Cønt ⭐
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          if you can stretch to Dat Guy

          even better

          1. Heydudes13
            • 14 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            Lukaku?

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

        Drop Ivan. You're crazy.

      4. Rödallegabomb ᴿᴮ
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        If he comes in around Rooney's price I can get this and save a FT for next week if I really want to get him early, which is highly unlikely:

        Fàbregas - Ramsey - Sterling - Sigurdsson
        Agüero - Costa - Falcao

        1. Sess!
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Nice

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

        sick

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

        Why was nobody marking him?

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

          Why would you mark him when he's lining up to score a scissors kick like that? Be kind!

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

      Negredo to Valencia

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

        Strange if they haven't signed a replacement.

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

          Falcao is the replacement no?

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

            Wrong Manchester

    13. Bartowski
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      So Borini just ended up staying at Liverpool to occasionally play in the cups..

      Tis a shame, he looked pretty good once he got a regular run in the Sunderland team.

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

        He may also get a run out against Ludogorets! 😀

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

        He's our 4th choice striker and we'll only play two up front for Balotelli and Sturridge, so if one of them gets injured, it won't be be Borini coming in, we'll just switch to one up top.

        If we have an injury crisis, then we'll play Lambert over Borini. In cup competitions, we'll play Lambert over Borini. He simply isn't going to play, it's bizarre he hasn't gone.

        He's on 30k a week allegedly and was offered double that at QPR, it's very weird. There isn't a football or financial reason to stay. Apparently this girlfriend has him on a short leash and doesn't want to leave Liverpool.

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

        Where's my fame and adulation?

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

        Not happened yet 😉

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

      Falcao after seeing how much he has earnt so far as a United player.

      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Whilst we wait for the Falcao and Welbeck transfers to be confirmed, can anyone tell me how one signs up for a team in the Hockey WC tournament? Do you have to be affiliated with the country in some way or just pick one you fancy and ask the manager?

      Thanks in advance!

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

        Pick one you fancy and ask the manager.

            Bizarrely I remember that hat! If you're truly interested contact SW6, his email's in the spreadsheet!

      • 14 Years

      So Negredo's gone to Valencia, which leaves them with three forwards, one being the injury prone Agüero...

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

        meh, just means they'll go 1 striker at times, silva or yaya. arguably makes them even stronger

      2. Mílanista
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      scott sinclair made a wise choice. i think he can displace silva this year

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

        lol

      2. Pork Pie Sausage Roll
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        May as well take up goalkeeping and try and displace Hart. More likely to get in the starting XI that way surely

      3. Sess!

      Are you meant to upvote a comment when you agree with it? I thought upvotes were designed to highlight good contributions to the community, not to accumulate opinion.

      Unfortunately, they seem to be used to rally abuse against a poster or rival club. It gives cowards the ability to slag off someone and not reveal their identity to the person.

      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      With City not announcing any new striker signings, I've just taken a -4 hit to do Costa > Negredo. Think that's going to be a good diff choice.

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

        Wtf

      2. mindgrapes

        Amazing guy, a good Championship defender.

          but one of the worst PL defenders I've ever seen

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

            Yeah. Relieved he's no longer available for selection. However, as an away fan, he ALWAYS made you feel appreciated and always have great interviews. A top guy to have around the club and played an important part in our rise.

                  The hockey world cup tourney we are going to have here. 12 teams each with 15 members. I will probably be leading the Malaysia team so recruiting atm. The only I require is your team ID if you wish to join my side.

                      Only started playing seriously last season so my record isn't great 😛 But I'm up for it!

      The Villa fans managed to embarrass your Club more than any other tonight. Foul language and a blow up doll included. Been some cringeworthy fans on but Villa's were the only one 'cut' by the director 😆

          My guess was Gary Hooper. Not happy with Doyle. Rather keep Murray.
