Toe injury to keep Rooney out tomorrow vs NEW

Wayne Rooney has been ruled out of Manchester United's match with Newcastle tomorrow because of a toe injury, and is in danger of missing the second leg of Champions League play next week.

Critical news late in the week as most fantasy managers probably have their XI's set, but any squad containing Rooney will now have to be reshuffled. With Robin van Persie also sidelined, the Red Devils attack, which hasn't exactly been dependable this season to begin with, will have to call upon Danny Welbeck and/or Javier Hernandez to lead the line. Welbeck is probably the better bet for the start but temper expectations without United's key player there to create the chances.

Chelsea confirm return of Didier Drogba

Chelsea have confirmed the return of Didier Drogba on a one year deal.

Drogba is a Chelsea legend, having won a Champions League, three Premier League titles, four FA Cups, and two League Cups during his time at the club. He has scored 157 goals in 341 Chelsea matches and is loved by Blues fans around the world. Drogba will probably be used off the bench as he is 36 years old and on the decline of his career. Despite that, he remains a solid target man who can be used at end of games when Chelsea need to get a goal. Using Drogba in fantasy will be a risky move unless Diego Costa suffers an injury.

Tottenham's Chiriches linked with Roma move

Tottenham defender Vlad Chiriches is a summer transfer target for AS Roma.

Chiriches had a bright start to his Tottenham career before picking up a back injury that ruled him out for much of the second half of the season, and there have been constant rumours that the 24-year-old is unsettled in England. Sky Sports are now reporting that Spurs will allow Chiriches to move if they can recoup the £7.5m fee paid last summer, with Roma interested. If the a move does happen then Mauricio Pochettino may need to bring in two defenders, with Michael Dawson also free to leave the club.

Jack Collison hoping to earn QPR contract

Former West Ham United midfielder Jack Collison is hoping to make the most of his trial with Queens Park Rangers.

Collison has battled a chronic knee problem causing him to miss much of the past two season and he was released by the Hammers back in May, but QPR could offer him a lifeline. The 25-year-old midfielder is training with Harry Redknapp's squad during in pre-season and he hopes some good performances could earn him a short-term contract to help relaunch his career.

Host of PL clubs interested in Lewis Holtby

Leicester, QPR and Crystal Palace are interested in Tottenham's Lewis Holtby.

Holtby has never settled at White Hart Lane and spent the final few months of the last campaign on loan to Fulham. The midfielder is determined to get regular first team football this season, but a move away will depend on whether he can impress Mauricio Pochettino during pre-season. The 23-year-old's fitness and work-rate should do him plenty of favours, with the new Spurs manager a big fan of imposing a pressing game on opponents, so there is still a chance Holtby will be included in Tottenham's plans.

Liverpool lends Wisdom to West Brom defense

West Brom have continued their roster overhaul with the loan signing of young Liverpool defender Andre Wisdom.

West Brom continue to add numbers and versatility to their defensive corps with the signing of England U21 defender Andre Wisdom. At the fringes of the Liverpool squad for a few years and coming off a year-long loan with Derby County in the Championship last season, a step up to the bottom half of the Premier League makes sense for the player and both clubs. With Gareth McAuley returning, Joleon Lescott, Chris Baird and Sebastien Pocognoli already added, and Costa Rican right back Christian Gamboa reportedly on his way as well, it isn't clear that Wisdom will be a starter. The real question is whether he will win out over Baird as the primary reserve at center back and right back for the Baggies. Wisdom's one hope for starting action is that Gamboa's attacking strengths are utilized farther up the field.

RM close to signing midfielder Muhamed Besic

Bosnia & Herzegovina midfielder Muhamed Besic is apparently moments away from signing with Everton as their official website has announced he is already travelling with the squad to Thailand.

The 21 year old Besic started games for Bosnia & Herzegovina in the World Cup and must have impressed Martinez enough to scoop him up. Besic is a defensive mid by trade, so the addition creates a bit of a log jam at the position. Gareth Barry signed a three year deal over the summer to make a permanent move, Darron Gibson is returning to fitness and James McCarthy was a regular in the Toffee XI last year. It is not a bad problem to have, but once Gibson is fit, Martinez will be tasked to please four players pushing for two spots.

Crystal Palace seal deal for Fraizer Campbell

Cardiff City striker Fraizer Campbell has joined Crystal Palace.

Sky Sports had already reported that a fee had been agreed between Crystal Palace and Cardiff, before Premier League new-boys Leicester City tried to gazump the deal by meeting Campbell's release clause. However, talks with the Foxes collapsed and the BBC have now confirmed that a £900,000 deal taking Campbell to Selhurst Park has been completed.

Winger Montero latest signing for Swansea

Swansea City have signed winger Jefferson Montero to a four year contract after a transfer was agreed with Mexican club Morelia.

The Ecuadorian international, who started all three of their World Cup games, can play on either side of the wing and looks to be a replacement for the soon to be departing Pablo Hernandez. While held without a goal in the Cup, he has netted 8 timed for his country in 43 caps. He projects to be a regular sooner rather than later, so keep an eye on his price tag.

Manchester City too strong for Kansas City

Manchester City stepped up their preparations for their Premier League title defence with a 4-1 victory over MLS champions Sporting Kansas City on Thursday.

After a shaky start to pre-season Manchester City have got things going, with back to back victories in Scotland and the US. The goals in this 4-1 win came from Bruno Zuculini, Dedryck Boyata, Kelechi Iheanacho and pre-season penalty taker Aleksandar Kolarov, who has taken on the duty in the absence of Yaya Toure and Sergio Aguero. New signing Willy Caballero featured in goal, while Micah Richards got a rare run-out in the second half.

Murray on scoresheet again as Palace are held

Glenn Murray and Jake Gray were on target as Crystal Palace began their US tour with a 2-2 stalemate against Columbus Crew.

Murray continued his solid start to pre-season with his third goal in two games, as Palace were held to a draw in Ohio. The striker missed the majority of the Eagles' return to the Premier League last season as he recovered from a cruciate ligament injury, but he's looking sharp as Tony Pulis continued to ease him back in with another 45 minutes of action. As the club's designated penalty taker, Murray could prove a handy budget option for the Yahoo fantasy game, priced at less than £3million.

Sigurdsson completes return to Swansea City

Gylfi Sigurdsson has completed his move to Swansea from Tottenham.

Sigurdsson spent the 2011/12 season on loan at Swansea from Hoffenheim and had an extremely successful spell, scoring seven goals, but the resulting move to Spurs never really worked out. He returns to the Liberty Stadium on a permanent basis as part of the deal that saw Ben Davies and Michel Vorm move in the opposite direction. The move makes sense for both the clubs and the player, and would also be good news for fantasy managers, with Sigurdsson likely to be handed a first team role and set piece duty under Garry Monk's stewardship.
