Same article mentions that Jenkinson has a stress fracture in his back. That can't be good.

This article is a great look behind the scenes of Arsenals medical centre

Wenger’s bid to ease Arsenal injuries revealed

JULES WHEELER was given a first-look, guided tour of the Arsenal’s new state-of-the-art medical centre. Read her exclusive insight into just how manager Arsene Wenger has shaped the institution as he bids to gain insight into managing our players’ fitness and how to better cope with the injuries that have blighted us in recent seasons…physio Colin Lewin and club doctor Gary O’Driscoll were her guides

......

I know that there are a lot of people out there who blame the medical team for a lot of our injuries. Having visited the medical centre today and seeing just how much effort is put into ensuring the players get the best treatment and facilities available, I can say that undoubtedly, they do their best for the players. They didn’t shirk away from any questions that were asked and gave frank and insightful answers to all of them. They told me that last year was an awful year for injuries and that there were 7 fractures. Generally, there would be 1-3 fractures.
There were also LESS recurring injuries this year. There are some websites which claim to ‘log’ players’ injuries but the statistics from these are often misleading. The players do train hard. This is to ensure that they are able to cope very well in the last 10 minutes of a game and provide as much effort then as they do in the first 10. Obviously, there is a slight increased risk of injury with the hard training but I can assure you that absolutely EVERYTHING is done to ensure that Arsenal field the best possible team. Colin Lewin observes the first team train the day before a match. He then has a meeting with Arsene Wenger, all the coaching staff to discuss players and risk assessment. All the data that has been collected is analysed and this can play a small part in making decisions when choosing the team.

You were reading my mind! I know every football club deals
with constant knocks and random injuries, but sure seems like
The Arsenal gets MORE than our fair share.

http://www.thebeautifulgroan.com/20...y-corner-tom’s-injury-of-the-week-abou-diaby/

Tom Goom is a physiotherapist and Gooner. He loves Arsenal, cheese and shooting thirty yards over the bar. He hate grass munching, racist centre halves, and former Manchester United strikers who look like Black Beauty’s ugly diving younger brother.

This week, the grisly details of Abou Diaby’s ankle injury:

May 1st 2006. Injury time at the Stadium of Light. Arsenal lead Sunderland 3-0. Dan Smith hits Abou Diaby hard with an over-the-ball challenge, studs down onto his right shin, just above the ankle. It is immediately obvious something is wrong but somehow Diaby manages to limp off, his right foot hanging at an odd angle as the physio helps him to the sidelines.

In the media furore that follows, the usual dialogue takes place; one side deplores the “horrendous” tackle, the other insists “he’s not that kind of player“. That’s all been debated ad nauseum, and my aim isn’t to go into that but rather to look at the impact this has had on what was a blossoming career.

Diaby suffered a fracture dislocation of his right ankle. It is common in these injuries for both tibia and fibula to break, sometimes in several areas. We don’t know the exact details, as football clubs rarely release them – it is, after all, confidential patient information. When the ankle dislocates there is trauma to the surrounding ligaments as well as the bone and ankle joint.

In Diaby’s case, he had three separate surgeries to repair his injury. It is likely that this included an ORIF (Open Reduction Internal Fixation) of some description, depending on the nature of his injury.

I see these fractures regularly where I work as a physiotherapist, and they can be challenging to rehab. The nature of the trauma causes a lot of swelling and stiffness in the ankle joint. It is quite rare for a patient to recover 100% range of movement in the ankle, even with intensive treatment. The fact that Diaby was able to return to action nine months later is a great credit to Arsenal’s excellent medical team. He made 28 appearances in all competitions in 2007-2008 and by 2009-2010 that number rose to 40, before he featured for France in their disappointing 2010 World Cup. But that doesn’t tell the whole story. Diaby has reportedly had 29 injuries since 2006. On average a player would expect two injuries per season. He has, on average, had around five per year and faced lengthy layoffs, playing just 20 times in 2010-2011 and featuring just twice this season.

So, what does the future hold for Abou Diaby? My hope is that with a gradual return to first team action Diaby will be able to reach the level he did in 2009-2010 where he made 35 starts for Arsenal. Five years of persistent injuries though makes me wonder if this will ever be a realistic outcome. For his sake I really hope he can make it. At 25 he still has time on his side to fulfil some of the potential we’ve seen from him at his best.

Diaby might have to retire if this keeps up, sadly enough. Wenger has given up on timetables for his return. Yikes

Rumors on the Twitter that Wilshere has had another setback

If true, that would pretty much goes in line with the last 3 years we've had

kanonier · Jan 27, 2012

Arsenal and England midfielder Jack Wilshere has suffered a setback in his return from the ankle complaint that has seen him miss the entire Premier League season so far.

Sounds about right.

pats1237 · Jan 27, 2012

I'm so ********ing sick of all this. He's obviously out till the end of the year.

Of course Wenger also confirmed we won't be signing anyone to make up for this because why try for 4th place and have ambition when you can brag about how little money you spend.

http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story/_/id/1013573/arsenal-blow-as-wilshere-suffers-injury-setback?cc=5901

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger said at his press conference ahead of the weekend's game with Aston Villa in the FA Cup: "Wilshere had a little setback which is under investigation at the moment. As soon as we know more, we will inform you.

"I can't give you any news on Jack because I could be wrong. Wilshere has pain again in his ankle. He did it while running so we stopped it straight away. He's seeing a specialist today."

daedalus · Jan 27, 2012

and when wilshere comes back next year, it should be right in time for ramsey to be out from the same type of overuse.

I was already prepared mentally and emotionally for Jack to miss the entire season - still suck, though.

daedalus · Jan 27, 2012

say, what's the over/under on the number of games sagna will be back for before a muscle or some sort tweaks?

footykid · Jan 27, 2012

Speaking of Sagna he may be on the bench this weekend

wwnyc · Jan 27, 2012

Well, at least Sagna, Henry, Arteta and possibly Gibbs will be returning over the next week. Have a feeling Wilshere is out until the Euro 2012

Ryoichi · Jan 27, 2012

I'm glad we don't have Eva Carneiro or else we'll have twice as many injuries.

pats1237 · Jan 27, 2012

He'll apparently be out at least 6 weeks

We need another midfielder....not that anything will happen

That's ok Diaby will be back and be able to rotate in so Ramsey and Arteta aren't run into the ground.

We should have bought someone like Arteta a year or two ago so not to run Jack into the ground...but you know...sustainable model and all that
