following Mike Renauds hamst

  • December 19, 2019
    London, England (SportsNetwork. [b]Jeff Foster Jersey[/b] .com) - Manchester Uniteds injury woes will be tested on Saturday when the Red Devils limp to the Emirates to take on Arsenal. Uniteds laundry list of injuries has forced manager Louis van Gaal to use 37 different players across all competitions thus far, the most of any other side in the Premier League. And to make matters worse for the Dutch tactician, Daley Blind, David De Gea and Angel Di Maria all suffered injury scares while away with their respective national teams this week, while striker Radamel Falcao has picked up a new calf injury. Di Maria and De Gea are expected to be fit in time to take part in Saturdays clash at the Emirates, but Blind will miss a significant amount of time with a knee injury and Falcao faces a two-week lay-off with his latest ailment. Arsenal, meanwhile, is getting some of its key players back from the treatment table. Striker Olivier Giroud has made an early recovery from a broken tibia suffered on Aug. 23 and has been cleared to feature in Saturdays clash, while captain Mikel Arteta also appears to have regained maximum fitness ahead of the clubs meeting with United. Giroud and Arteta are both available, Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger told the clubs official website. Its just a question of how ready they are. But they are available. (Giroud) is three or four weeks ahead of schedule. Originally we planned to have him back for competition at the beginning of next year. So hes one month ahead. United enters the weekend in seventh place on 16 points where they sit one point back of Arsenal, but a victory at the Emirates could realistically see the Red Devils climb to fourth in the table. Swansea City comes into the round in fifth place with 18 points after claiming a narrow victory over the Gunners last time out, but the Welsh club will return to action with a tough test at third-place Manchester City on Saturday. West Ham United has made a bright start to the season to stake its claim to fourth place with 18 points through 11 games, but the Hammers will need to head to Goodison Park on Saturday for their clash with an underachieving Everton side. Should Swansea and West Ham suffer defeats from their respective road encounters, a win for United would be enough to bring Van Gaals men into a coveted top-four position. Chelsea will be out to preserve its unbeaten start to the season on Saturday when the club welcomes West Bromwich Albion to Stamford Bridge, while Newcastle will go for its fifth successive Premier League victory when it welcomes QPR to St. James Park. Rounding out Saturdays action, Leicester City will play host to Sunderland and last-place Burnley will hope to climb out of the cellar with a positive result at Stoke City. Liverpool sits in 11th place after dropping its last two league contests, but the Reds will fancy their chances of getting back on track on Sunday against a Crystal Palace side that is winless in its last five league outings. Tottenham has dropped three of its last four Premier League contests while Hull City has managed just two points from its last four matches. Both clubs will be aiming to stop the rot and collect a victory when they meet at the KC Stadium on Sunday. The Premier League slate will conclude on Monday when Aston Villa, with just one point and one goal scored in its last seven Premier League outings, will look to get back in the win column with three points against second-place Southampton at Villa Park.

Bryan Lerg also had two assists. Corban Knight and Max Reinhart scored for the Heat (1-1-0), who opened their season Friday with a 5-2 win over the Monsters in Cleveland. [b]Malcolm Brogdon Jersey[/b] . Alexander was released last week by the Edmonton Eskimos, where he spent the past three seasons at safety. He had 121 defensive tackles, five special teams tackles and seven interceptions in 51 regular-season and three playoff games.Drew Willy had the Winnipeg Blue Bombers out to a blazing start. The rebuilt team had the highest scoring offence through the first three weeks of the season, and an undefeated record to boot. Now, following a near-abysmal Week 4 offensive performance in their first loss of the season, Winnipegs first-year starting quarterback is placing the blame squarely upon his own shoulders. "I think anytime you have only three points, its one of those things that you take it personally as the quarterback," said Willy as he prepared for Fridays matchup in Vancouver against the 2-2 B.C. Lions. "Thats your job. Your job is to always take — no matter what happens out there it should really always be on you. We each had our part in it, but I mean, its definitely one of those things where its my job to make sure were productive and make sure we get going as an offence. Taking responsibility is not a huge thing for me. I always tried to do that in my past." The Bombers were held to just 209 yards of net offence in their 26-3 loss at home to the Edmonton Eskimos. After studying the game film, Willy feels he could have been a touch more patient on some plays. "There were definitely times I wish I would have stayed on a few receivers a little bit longer. It kind of opened up a little bit later than I thought it would. Its just one of those things where I need to trust what were doing on offence and go from there." "Its never going to be a perfect game in your reads and everything." After allowing five sacks to the Eskimos defence, some will immediately look to an area of weakness from last season — the offensive line — as the reason to why the Bombers offence struggled. While Willy was often hurried and harassed by the Esks last week, he doesnt see his line protection as the overriding issue. "Weve done some good things. We were throwing the ball. We were basically averaging just under 300 yards the first three games. Obviously there was some good protection there for me to be able to throw for that kind of yardage. Its just one of those games last week that it just wasnt all on the O-line. It was all twelve of us and we each took our part. You could look at drives and one play its one guy, and one play its another. One play its me. Its just all around, so we just need to consistently be on the same page on offence and make sure we dont have thosse mental mistakes. [b]Wholesale Pacers Jerseys[/b]. ." After a breakout 122 rushing yard performance in Week 1, and three TDs on the ground in Week 2, rookie tailback Nic Grigsby had only 17 rushing attempts in the following two games for a total of 84 yards. The quarterback knows the importance of getting the running game going again if he wants his offence to succeed. "To get (Grigsby) going would be great for us. Hes a dynamic player," added Willy. "If we can get him the ball in the running game or pass game — we just need to get him some touches. Any time you run the ball well, in my past experiences in this league, it definitely increases your chances of winning." NOTES: Rookie starting safety Moe Leggett returns this week after missing two games with an ankle injury ... Linebacker and defensive back Johnny Sears has been ruled out this week with a hamstring pull. He was listed as questionable throughout the week as he worked to get healthy for the game ... Defensive end Jason Vega is another veteran hit to the Bombers D corps as the former NFLer is out this week due to injures referred to by Mike OShea as "various what-nots" ... Rookie kicker Lirim Hajrullahu will take on all kicking and punting duties following Mike Renauds hamstring injury suffered in pre-game warm-ups last week ... Returner Aaron Woods returns to the active roster after a two week absence where the team used Paris Cotton and Demond Washington on kick and punt returns. Cotton has been placed on the one-game injured list ... The club has decided to swap tackle Dan Knapp and guard Cordaro Howard. Howard moves over to the right tackle spot Friday night, and Knapp inside to left guard as Canadian starter Chris Greaves continues to recover from a knee injury suffered in Week 3. Greaves practiced this week and may be ready to go by Week 6 ... Slotback Julian Feoli-Gudino missed practice on Tuesday and Thursday this week, but Mike OShea assured he will be good to go Friday night ... The team signed Canadian linebacker Kyle Jones on Monday. Jones is a true utility player who can play special teams, punt, kick, kickoff, snap, and hold. "The one thing he cant do is snap to himself, hold it, and kick his own field goal. But I havent asked him to do that so maybe he can," quipped OShea. Jones should work as a safety net with the Bombers only having one healthy kicker at the moment. ' ' '
