The Premier League is plagued with injury at present. AS a result, we at Football Friends have put together a team of 11 players who are currently sidelined.
3-4-3
GK – Ben Foster – West Brom
The Baggies shot-stopper had a fine start to the season before he was ruled out for a number of weeks as a result of an ankle injury. Should return around mid-November.
CB – Phil Jones – Manchester United
The giant England defender is currently out with a foot injury. His power and ability with the ball at his feet makes him our first central defender.
CB – Jores Okora – Aston Villa
Although we haven’t seen a lot of the Villa man, his potential is huge and he will no doubt be a massive player during the rest of the season.
CB – Daniel Agger – Liverpool
To add the experience we have drafted in Daniel Agger from Anfield to take up our third central role. Agger is suffering from a rib injury.
RM – David Silva – Manchester City
The little Spaniard is currently sitting out with a hip injury and it is unclear when he will return.
CM – Etienne Capoue – Tottenham
His Premier League career has stuttered of late due to an ankle injury which he picked up during the north London derby, but he will act as a shield in front of our defence.
CM – Philippe Coutinho – Liverpool
Liverpool’s incredible start to the season fell flat as soon as the little Brazilian was injured. He can be our playmaker.
LM – Santi Cazorla – Arsenal
The little Spain international has been unlucky with a foot injury and Arsene Wenger will be saying his prayers for him to return to the first team as soon as possible.
RF – Theo Walcott – Arsenal
Walcott was brilliant up top for the Gunners last season but is currently out with a stomach injury.
CF – Christian Benteke – Aston Villa
The Belgian is currently the top scorer in the English topflight but is sitting out with a groin injury.
LF – Robin van Persie – Manchester United
David Moyes was without the flying Dutchman in Sunday’s Manchester derby defeat, but after his sparkling start to the season he can come into our team.

Lukas Podolski – Arsenal – Hamstring
Gabriel Agbonlahor – Aston Villa – Ankle
Younes Kaboul – Tottenham – Groin
