Re: The Arsenal Injury Thread

[Sri]

2 weeks in to new season and we have 5 injures.

Arsenal

[sportsczy]

Must buy Remy now. He's cheap. Lacazette is available from Lyon for 20 mil too. Martial of Monaco... although Monaco have refused 20+ mil bids for him by Valencia, Wolfsburg and Atleti for whatever reason.

[MJ]

Wenger says Giroud's injury length is unknown right now but will be confirmed tomorrow.

Mikel Arteta is a "short term" injury and Kieran Gibbs will be back after the internationals.

[MJ]

The Evening Standard seem to think Giroud will be out 4 months, until New Year's.

Banter when we don't sign a new striker lol.

[MJ]

Reporter: "So has his second scan been inconclusive?"

Wenger: "Look I don't know, we prepare for tomorrow's game"

He probably already knows but doesn't want to distract from tomorrow's huge game.

Arsenal fear Giroud may be out for 3 months with a broken ankle

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/arsenal/11055417/Arsenal-fear-Olivier-Giroud-may-be-out-for-three-months-forcing-Arsene-Wenger-back-into-the-transfer-market.html

Ohh this is bad I've read in some news he could be out until January 2015.

As of now Arsene Wenger has ruled-out any new signings I just wondered who will be his new goals-coring machine I mean how he'll lined-up his starting XI

[SamuelJayC]

Wenger press conference on Friday.

Confirmed injury list:

Arteta
Gibbs
Walcott
Ospina
Giroud
Gnabry

[6unner]

So just about normal..

[Jay29]

After the international break, the only players on that list should Gnabry and Giroud. Still time for the usual complications and such, but we should have a near full strength squad to choose from soon.

[RealGunner]

Gnabry can still be loaned out after the transfer window closes right?


I like the way Arsene is handling Diaby this time. He clearly isn't injured but Arsene only uses him in training and recently U21 match. He should train for another month before coming back.

[MJ]

Yeah, this is his contract year as well so if he doesn't stay fit and contribute it'll most likely be his last here.

[EL Patron]

Pretty sure, He signed a new contract last year

[MJ]

Can't find anything new on it. All says it expires in 2015. Would be surprising if we extended it with a year to go on it and him having played like 2 games in 2 years lol.

[EL Patron]

http://www.arsenal.com/news/news-archive/gnabry-agrees-new-long-term-contract

says here he signed a long term contract

[MJ]

Was talking about Diaby, mate.

[EL Patron]

[RealGunner]

ffs

[Sri]

According to the mirror, Welbeck has rolled his ankle in training.


Now that's a true welcome

EDIT: IIRC, the training is at London Colney

[RealGunner]

lmfao

[Sina]

Henry Winter @henrywinter  

Welbeck rolled his ankle during #eng training at Colney (of all places) but doctors have assured Hodgson that the striker is "ok". #afc

Roy pls go

[Jay29]

Apparently he's sitting out tomorrow's friendly against Norway but he should be okay for Monday's game vs Switzerland.

[RealGunner]

That will go so well

[El Gunner]

Lol quite unbelievable, this shit ain't even funny no more.
Roy pls just rest the kid.

[Jay29]

Arsenal hopeful that Walcott will be ready for the North London derby on the 27th of September:

[Sina]
