Re: The Arsenal Injury Thread

Actually:

Cazorla - End of season
Coquelin - Mid Feb since we don't buy a DM in January
Wilshere - 2016/17
Welbeck - 2016/17
Rosicky - He's still with us? O.o
Sanchez - Rushed back in 2 weeks, injured in third week. Repeat.
Arteta - Au revoir!

Alexis hasn't recovered in time to play against Sunderland on Saturday. Now a doubt for Liverpool on Wednesday. Wenger: “It is a precaution because of his hamstring, and it takes a few more days. He’s not bad but he’s not ready.”

No new injuries from the Newcastle game. Squad will be similar. Wenger undecided on starting any youngsters.

Cazorla and Coquelin are "doing well" but still expected to be back around March, though Wenger said Cazorla might recover a bit quicker.

Rosicky is back in full training next week and should be available soon.

Arteta is available for selection after he played in an U21 game this week.

Expecting Arteta on the bench.

It's good to see AW finally being cautious with Alexis for a game. Especially after he ran Alexis into the ground before the injury.

I think Alexis will end up on the bench for Liverpool though. And end up playing when we are chasing the game - like we did in the beginning of the season when he had only just returned from holiday and had zero preseason.

With Ozil on form and this game a chance to rest him, it'd be nice to see Jeff get some minutes.

Scored and had a great game in general for the U-21s. Arteta only just got his first game under his belt but it'd be great to have him play if it meant we could rest Ramsey without undermining the entire team.

Chambers-Gabriel-Per-Gibbs
------Arteta----Flamini
-------------Jeff
Joel----------Giroud---Theo

In case Debuchy is actually leaving. Could also see Ox playing seeing as he probably won't vs Liverpool in the form he's been in. Could also see Wenger just play an almost unchanged team because why tf not.

I wonder who would be back first Welbeck or Alexis? Laughing

Alexis will have fitness tests on Friday and Saturday and could be in contention for Sunday, says Wenger.

Wenger also said Danny Welbeck is 2-3 weeks away from returning to first team training and that he's confident he wouldn't find a better player on the market, effectively ruling out further signings.

No new injuries from the Liverpool game, by the looks of things.

by Jay29 Thu Jan 21, 2016 9:51 am

Ozil and Alexis both expected to be fit for the Chelsea game, though Wenger seemed less sure about Alexis, saying "he should make it this time".

More good news: Coquelin is back in full training earlier than expected. Welbeck will also be back in full training soon. Rosicky will play in the U21 game tomorrow.

No new injuries from the Stoke game.

by Sri Thu Jan 21, 2016 3:19 pm

Coming soon: injuries to others

by Raptorgunner Thu Jan 21, 2016 4:11 pm

No point risking Ozil and Sanchez for Chelsea, no mater what we do it will end as a draw or loss. Laughing

Save us Elneny. Razz

-Coquelin is aiming to return to the matchday squad against Burnley but it does depend on how he trains this week.
-Welbeck will return to training tomorrow but Wenger isn't expecting him to be in the matchday squad for another 2 weeks. [@JWTelegraph]

by El Gunner Tue Jan 26, 2016 6:21 am

Meh no point in risking him for the game vs Burnley. Maybe give him a few mins at the end if he is indeed completely ready to return.

by silver Tue Jan 26, 2016 7:20 am

Wow I honestly didn't realize Coquelin was so close to returning!

Just had it confirmed that Rosicky suffered a setback on his return yesterday (Thigh). Could be 6 weeks. #afc

by MJ Sun Jan 31, 2016 12:14 pm

He played 20 minutes for god's sake. Evil or Very Mad

by EL Patron Sun Jan 31, 2016 1:11 pm

Looks like the end for Rosicky Sad

by Raptorgunner Sun Jan 31, 2016 6:27 pm

Is it true Jack suffered another setback?

Yeah. Mid-march now.

I'd wait and see what Arsene had to say, Jack himself said he was taking time with his rehab and Arsene never put any specific time line on his come back

Should not play this season or go Euros.

by Sri Mon Feb 01, 2016 5:20 am

You know he'll be fit just before the Euros, go there, and break his leg again.

Wenger on Jack. Laughing

So Jack is 4 weeks away from being 4 weeks away to return.
on Jack Wilshere…

He is looking good. I had a short chat with Roy Hodgson about him and reassured him that he is progressing well. I’m cautious but I will say four weeks [until he is back].
