Spoken to Theo Walcott's camp this morning. Am told rumours of an injury setback are nonsense. Still planning for late Nov/early Dec return.

[El Gunner]

Thank God

[Jay29]

Bellerin fit to face West Brom, but Chamberlain and Ramsey won't be available.

[El Gunner]

Guess Sanchez won't be resting anytime soon

[Sina]

Wenger on injuries: "Arteta looks to be a calf problem. Coquelin looks to be a bit more severe with a knee problem."

[RealGunner]

RIP

[El Gunner]

We all knew this was going to happen.

but still, oh the distraught

[MJ]

Not signing a striker was one thing. Not signing a midfielder is now biting us in the ass. Totally avoidable. There were options this summer but we were naive.

[Sri]

There can't be ONE person who didn't dread a Coquelin injury - you know it was bound to happen soon.

[urbaNRoots]

Let's be honest, Coquelin is out for the season.

Flamini/Arteta starting week in week out

Atleast Wenger will (surely) be looking to sign a DM in January.

We could've got Krychowiak for £20m last summer, now we'd have to pay £40m according to his new release clause

[RealGunner]

Bielik>>>>>>>>>>>

[RealGunner]

Coquelin out for 3 months with knee ligament strain, according to reports tonight. Arteta also injured. Both out of #afc game v Zagreb.

[Jay29]

3 months with Flamini or Arteta at DM

There goes our title challenge.

[RealGunner]

Hope both are out as well. Just because they are DM doesn't mean they are a good enough option to play. Both will cause more problems than help out.

Hope Ramsey is back


Ramsey-Cazorla might be poor defensively, but its better than Arteta-Cazorla or Flamini-Cazorla.

Chambers could be an option too but not sure how that's gonna work out.

[MJ]

Chambers and Bielik are objectively better options at DM than Arteta and Flamini.

[El Gunner]

Chambers and Bielik are objectively better options at DM than Arteta and Flamini.

agreed. But Wenger will never try that. Stubborn bastard.

We could've got Krychowiak for £20m last summer, now we'd have to pay £40m according to his new release clause

From what I've read he has been pretty underwhelming this season for Sevilla.

Jay?

[Jay29]

He's been inconsistent like the rest of the team; good in the big games, but not against lesser opposition. More than anything this year he's being exposed for being an average passer.

He's certainly not a €45 million player (his new release clause).

[Jay29]

Coquelin out for "at least two months" following scans. Arteta also out.

Ramsey is available for the Zagreb game tomorrow, however.

[urbaNRoots]

Notice how Coquelin is supposed to come back in February, just after the transfer window ends.

No doubt, we will hear about a "setback" which will keep him out until the end of season, but only after the January transfer window ends.

[Jay29]

If it is two months, then he won't be back until the end of Feb/start of March.

The suggestion I got from the press conference today was that it could be longer than two months. Wenger did say this as well:

“Yeah, of course. That depends now on what comes out of the scan for Francis, and then we see. I will do what is needed, knowing as well that in January it’s not an ideal transfer market.”

But we'll see.

[RealGunner]

100% ramsey is being rushed back lol

[LeBéninois]

Bad luck
