England : Premier League injured & suspended list (with statistics)

Cesc Fabregas is set to miss Saturday's Premier League match at Hull City with a hamstring injury. The Arsenal captain, who was substituted against Burnley last weekend, missed the midweek UEFA Champions League victory over Porto and had been rated as questionable for the Hull clash, but manager Arsene Wenger now admits there is little hope of a swift return. Defender William Gallas is still injured, while Czech midfielder Tomas Rosicky and defenders Sol Campbell and Bacary Sagna are also questionable due to various problems.

Wayne Rooney will be fit for Wednesday's UEFA Champions League second leg match against Milan, Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson said on Tuesday. The England striker was a doubt after missing Saturday's 1-0 Premier League win at Wolverhampton Wanderers with a knee injury picked up on international duty last week but he will feature at Old Trafford.

United, who won the first leg of the first knockout round tie 3-2 in the San Siro, are without England defender Wes Brown who could be sidelined for up to six weeks after scans revealed he broke a bone in his foot during the victory over Wolves. United will also be missing suspended midfielder Michael Carrick and injured duo Michael Owen and Ryan Giggs.

Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas sat out Tuesday's 5-0 UEFA Champions League win over Porto at the Emirates stadium with a hamstring problem. The Spanish international opened the scoring in last weekend's 3-1 victory against Burnley, but was then replaced six minutes before the break by Abou Diaby. Fabregas suffered a recurrence of the injury he first sustained in December, but manager Arsene Wenger said Tuesday his influential midfielder has a small chance to be back at the weekend against Hull City.

Wayne Rooney is listed as questionable for Manchester United' UEFA Champions League second leg quarter-final clash with Milan. The star striker missed Saturday's 1-0 Premier League win at Wolverhampton Wanderers because of a knee problem aggravated while on England duty. United won the opening leg of their first knockout round tie 3-2 in the San Siro but the loss of Rooney for Wednesday's match would be a blow, especially with Michael Owen ruled out for the season.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has revealed that captain Cesc Fabregas is a major doubt for Tuesday's UEFA Champions League clash with Porto after suffering a recurrence of a hamstring injury at the weekend. The Spanish midfielder was forced off before half-time on Saturday as the Gunners boosted their Premier League title hopes with a 3-1 victory over Burnley.

Wenger claimed he is ready to take a huge gamble on Fabregas in a bid to keep Arsenal's Euro dream alive. "Will I risk Fabregas? It depends how big the gamble is," said Wenger. "I'm ready to take the gamble but, if it is more than 50 per cent chance that his hamstring goes, I will not take it." Arsenal will have to overcome a 2-1 deficit from the first leg of the last-16 tie.

Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney is a doubtful for the game against Wolverhampton. "We have to assess Wayne because he played almost 90 minutes for England the other night at Wembley, which I was disappointed in," manager Sir Alex Ferguson said. "When you're playing on that pitch for almost an hour on Sunday and then nearly a full game on Wednesday, it's far too much. He's a doubt. It's disappointing as there were some changes made and I thought Rooney would be one of them, especially as he already had a slight injury from Sunday."

Meanwhile, defender Rio Ferdinand is available for selection after an injury lay-off. "Rio is back which is good news. It comes at a good time with a big game against Milan next Wednesday," Ferguson said. "Having the Ferdinand-Vidic partnership is a big boost in terms of the experience and consistency they've shown over the last few years. That will be important to us in the run-in."

Manchester United striker Michael Owen will miss the rest of the season after sustaining a hamstring injury during League Cup match against Aston Villa on Sunday. Owen scored United's equalising goal in the 2-1 win before limping off three minutes before the break. United manager Sir Alex Ferguson confirmed on Friday that Owen will not feature again this term. "Unfortunately it's bad blow with Michael Owen. He's out for the season," he said. "It's more serious than we thought. He will be operated on on Monday morning."

Chelsea will be without defender Jose Bosingwa for the rest of the season after the club announced he required a further operation on his left knee. The 27-year-old was originally sidelined in October before undergoing arthroscopic surgery in November. Bosingwa was due to be out for three months, but Chelsea announced that he requires surgery again. He will not feature again this season and will also miss this summer's World Cup.

Tottenham have confirmed that a scan has shown that Tom Huddlestone suffered damage to the ligaments in his right ankle during Sunday's 2-1 victory against Everton. The 23-year-old midfielder would need to see a specialist to determine the extent of the damage. Huddlestone joins fellow midfielder Jermaine Jenas, winger Aaron Lennon and defenders Jonathan Woodgate and Ledley King on a lengthy injury list. As a result, Tottenham have recalled midfielder Jake Livermore from his loan spell at Peterborough.

Midfielder Stuart Holden will miss about six weeks after suffering a fracture in his leg during the United States' friendly against Holland in Amsterdam on Wednesday. Holden could still make the U.S. World Cup team, picked up the injury after a hard tackle by Nigel DeJong. He had started Bolton's last two matches, impressing the Wanderers manager Owen Coyle, who confirmed the 22-year-old's contract has been extended through to the end of next season.

Liverpool have confirmed Martin Skrtel will be sidelined for eight weeks after suffering a broken metatarsal in his right foot. The 25-year-old Slovakian defender picked up the injury during last week's 3-1 away win over Unirea Urziceni in the UEFA Europa League. Tests showed that Skrtel would be absent for most of the rest of the season, although he will not require an operation.

Arsenal have confirmed that Aaron Ramsey will miss the rest of the season after suffering fractures to the tibia and fibula of his right leg during Saturday's 3-1 victory over Stoke City. The 19-year-old Welsh midfielder was taken to hospital immediately after leaving the field on a stretcher in the 71st minute following a challenge by Ryan Shawcross. Shawcross, 22, was sent off for the tackle, but he later issued a statement saying: "There was absolutely no malice in the challenge."
