Well, looking towards tonight's game with Olympiakos, it looks like Koscielny, Walcott and Gervinho have picked up knocks and will miss out. http://news.arseblog.com/2011/09/wenger-confirms-gervinho-walcott-and-koscielny-injuries/
That link wouldn't work for me Val, but here's what I found Wenger saying on arsenal.com... http://www.arsenal.com/news/news-archive/team-news-koscielny-walcott-gervinho Good news about Theo... I had thought he did his hammie. And I always chuckle a bit when Squillaci is listed with these other guys as if he's on their level.
http://www.arsenal.com/news/news-archive/bacary-sagna-fractures-fibula ****. Sagna out for what the club says is three months. So he's out til March.
This is why you don't bring in League One teenagers who were playing conference football less than a year ago in as second string squad members.
Can Sagna just have surgery now? Instead of letting it heal on its own for 3 months then deciding to have it?
When Djourou gets back he can play there. He's done so in the past. I would expect Coquelin would be able to play the position. He's right-footed. Defensively good. Fairly quick. Looks to be a good passer.
Djourou is an awful fb and is in awful form anyway - remember the Blackburn game? I'd rather Jenkinson than Djourou, not that that's much of a choice.
With out latest big injury blow (Sagna) it's going to just get a little hotter for Wenger. Perhaps the calls for David Moyes will get louder, given his track record for managing his team into the top half while decimated w/ injuries. Maybe we could take Moyes on a 4 month loan?
Szczesny joins injury list Guess this is one of those injuries that pops up during the international break and disappears in 2 weeks.
Who ever plays RB simply cant have Walcott in the team in front of him. Jenkinson isnt as bad as some of you guys make out but he aint no Sagna. He has been defending the right side and often 2 players at a time since Theo became a regular.
and, with that, the only guy we can say has been healthy for us for extended period has gone down. this be scary. i believe he is.
Good call. I had every intention of picking up a long-sleeved away shirt with someone on the back, but literally no one deserves it.
I would get a Wilshere shirt, but it feels wrong buying it when the player himself has never worn it. And as for RvP, I'm terrified of him leaving. I own three Arsenal shirts with names. I have an Henry jersey from...2006-07, the red and blue striped European shirt with Adebayor on the back, and a white Fabregas shirt. Clearly I have a bad track record.
