Re: The Arsenal Injury Thread

[El Gunner]

Think Coq will start now that he's fit

We need him to get some of that hardness back as well.

[RealGunner]

[Jay29]

Cazorla received a knock against Ludogorets (was subbed early in the 2nd half) and is touch-and-go for tomorrow.

[Sina]

Wenger on Welbeck: "It will certainly take two months competition to get back to his best. He will start running again in two weeks."

[Jay29]

Carl Jenkinson will play tomorrow and Giroud will be included in the squad. Ramsey is still not ready to play.

Wenger said we'll see Gibbs captain the side again and starts for Ox, Iwobi, Jeff and Lucas. The expected team:

Martinez; Jenkinson, Gabriel, Holding, Gibbs; Elneny, Chamberlain; Jeff, Iwobi, Lucas; Giroud

[Sri]

Jenkos

Holding

[Sri]

We might see 1-2 more youth players start though

[RealGunner]

wanted to see Niles at RB again

[Jay29]

Lucas Perez out for six weeks with ankle ligament damage.

Well done to that Reading player for inflicting that injury seconds after coming on

[RealGunner]

Wasn't that thug look alike? unbelievable


We are pretty short attacking wise so this isn't good. Thankfully Giroud came back on time.

[El Gunner]

Yea that rugby *bleep*

[Jay29]

Wenger confirms Lucas will be out for 6-8 weeks.

There are doubts over Nacho Monreal, Santi Cazorla and Theo Walcott for tomorrow's game against Sunderland. Walcott has a minor "hamstring alert" and will be tested today. Cazorla is still recovering from a knock he received against Ludogorets.

In better news, Aaron Ramsey will be in the squad for the first time since the opening day, and Giroud will also be included. Granit Xhaka will serve the last game of his suspension.

Potential squad:

Cech; Bellerin, Mustafi, Koscielny, Gibbs; Coquelin, Elneny; Chamberlain, Ozil, Iwobi; Alexis

Ospina, Gabriel, Monreal, Ramsey, Jeff, Walcott, Giroud

[Sri]

I'd go with the same lineup as Jay

[Jay29]

Bellerin, Monreal, Cazorla and Walcott haven't travelled to Bulgaria to play Ludogorets. No reasons were given, but Bellerin and Walcott did train this morning so are likely just being rest ahead of the tough run of games we've got coming up.

So the team could be:

Ospina; Jenkinson, Mustafi, Koscielny, Gibbs; Coquelin, Xhaka; Chamberlain, Ozil, Iwobi; Alexis

Cech, Gabriel, Holding, Maitland-Niles, Elneny, Ramsey, Giroud

[Jay29]

Arsenal are expecting Nacho Monreal, Hector Bellerin and Theo Walcott to be fit for Spurs on Sunday. There are still doubts, however, over Santi Cazorla.

Potential squad:

Cech; Bellerin, Mustafi, Koscielny, Monreal; Coquelin, Xhaka; Walcott, Ozil, Iwobi; Alexis

Ospina, Gabriel, Gibbs, Elneny, Ramsey, Chamberlain, Giroud

[Jay29]

Alexis has a "muscular injury". Fears it may be a tear.

International duty can go *bleep* itself.

EDIT: Quick update on this. He's got a low grade calf injury, which will rule him out of their first game but he should be fit for Chile's second.

International football can still go *bleep* itself.

[urbaNRoots]

Terrible.

It was bound to happen though, we give him no real rest.

[Sri]

Think it is an injury *because* it is intl break

[Jay29]

More worryingly, Chile are desperate for points and will play Alexis even if he's less than half-fit. And our game against United post break is a Saturday 12:30 kick off

[Sri]

We gonna lose dat anyway Jay man.. whats the fecking point..

1. OT away
2. Away to Mou

The sooner you accept it, the better it is for your health and well-being

[RealGunner]

Welcome Giroud

[Jay29]

A certain fraudulent Internet Bullshit Artist says Alexis could be out for 6 weeks.

Guess we'll find out soon enough.

[Jay29]

Hector Bellerin now carrying an injury and will sit out Spain U21's play-off match against Autria. The extent of the injury is unknown atm.

[El Gunner]

It's beginning

[Jay29]

Bellerin out until December at the earliest with an ankle ligament injury.

ffs

[El Gunner]

No title then
Shame
