It does feel like the footballing gods are starting to take the Mick tbh, thank **** the injuries so far (touch wood) have been in our stacked positions. Worst thing is that we really have something here, and only need to hold until January for the (hopefully) much vaunted 'super qualidee' players, but at the rate we're going through out players, it's not looking great. Don't think any team could cope with or injury list atm.
From Wenger, 24/09 on Tomas Rosicky... Rosicky is the first back [of the injured players], but not in time for this week. Next week we will start to speak about that. He could come back in the squad for Sunday or Monday. on long-term absentees Podolski, Oxlade-Chamberlain and Diaby... It's fine, they are doing well but they are nowhere near ready. The next one back [of those three] might be Lukas. Alex will be one and a half months more. on Lukasz Fabianski⦠Fabianski will be alright [to start on Wednesday]. He had a nasal problem but he will be alright. Fabianski and Viviano are the two goalkeepers in the squad.
update from Arsenal.com http://www.arsenal.com/news/news-archive/theo-set-for-minor-abdominal-procedure Speaking to Arsenal.com, Arsène Wenger said: “Theo will be out for a few weeks. He has developed some damage to his posterior abdominal wall. It's not a hernia, but it's a little structural problem in his abdomen. "He will have the procedure in Germany on Wednesday and, because it’s so minor, we can begin his rehab immediately. We are pleased it’s being dealt with quickly and he shouldn’t miss too many Arsenal matches. But he will miss the forthcoming international matches with England.” lets hope he heals quickly
for f@ck sake. i thought these guys were supposed to be fit !! i dont seem to remember players always getting all these injuries "back in the day"
3 weeks for Theo last time didn't involve surgery. This, as it is more serious, will likely be for a longer period.
Well all the news from the club is that he will be back after the International break - not sure what secret information and knowledge of his injury your keeping to yourself!
