EPL 2016-17: Matchday 2 - Injured XI

Midfield

Central Midfield: Aaron Ramsey

Ramsey was a part of his team’s opening fixture against rivals Liverpool. However, he suffered a hamstring injury in the second half of Arsenal’s 4-3 loss to Liverpool and will miss the crucial fixture against defending champions Leicester City. He is likely to be back by the start of September.

Central Midfield: Lucas Leiva

The Liverpool midfielder featured regularly during the initial phase of the pre-season. However, he was forced off the field during a pre-season game against Huddersfield town and the scan results revealed a hamstring injury. Lucas will miss the Matchday 2 encounter and is likely to return by September.

Central Attacking Midfield: Sadio Mane

Sadio Mane has added immense tenacity to the Liverpool attack and has become an invaluable cog in Klopp’s side. However, he fell on his shoulder during a training session and scans revealed a muscle injury. Klopp addressed the media that the injury is not serious but is a doubt for the game against Burnley.
