The Arsenal Injury Thread

[Sri]

Just brought forward the Injury thread from the old forums. One of the most important threads for Arsenal community, considering our injury record.


Nothing much to report right now on this front, but I am hoping some body can update us on Fabianski's shoulder sometime!
(Didn't want to put that in the lobby and risk it falling out of attention!)

[Spider]

I was gonna create this thread once the season kicks off .

[Sushi Master]

I'm still waiting for Wenger to sack ALL our medical staff. If we have another injury ravaged season I'm gonna be pissed.

[Sri]

@Spider: I had a feeling you would, but I couldn't wait till then to get a word on Fabianski.. So gave you due credit in the description.. Hope you don't mind it

The highlights thread and the prediction game thread also will be made in a couple of months I guess

@Sushi Master: Don't see any changes being touted mate.. That swanky satellite-based-player-tiredness-assessment-system-thingy was a pretty big step in this direction last season.. And we were to see its benefits by the end of the season time..

[Sushi Master]

Fabregas had a shit season, Walcott was injured a lot even in God form, Diaby... Diaby . Van Persie actually improved, I'll give you that. Djourou had a miracle recovery.

The whole Vermaelen saga shits all over any improvement, though. And constant injuries to Fabregas don't help, he's our key player.

The "we have little, weak players so it's ok to get injured" argument doesn't fly for me.

[A Gunner]

Actually I think this one of the best seasons for us regarding injuries. Yes we had Verm off for like a whole season and Fabi but still our key-players where there when it mattered.

Most important thing for us is to keep Fab and RVP ( especially him ) fit next season.

[Sri]

For the entire season.. Thats the key.. As I said in the old forum, RvP is a 45-goals a season striker if he can stay fit..

We have had a few injuries this season, but how many of those, are fatigue related? Except Nasri pulling a hamstring in that match where he played in the Fabregas role, I don't think any other. In that way, that system has achieved its target of reducing fatigue-related injuries.

It would be interesting if the system could also give heads up with player burn-outs and give us a chance to rotate in advance to avoid a player from burning-out. Would really help the likes of Song, Wilshere and Chamakh to maintain their form through the season.

Hopefully this thread will be empty this season for a change

[Spider]

@Sri , No mate , i don't mind at all

[Kiwigunner]

So fabianski has had surgery already, and is just recovering now right? When will we know how he's going?

[Spider]

I guess wenger will say all the injury Update once the pre-season starts

We had :
Fabianski - shoulder
Rosicky - mysterious illness
Cesc - thigh injury
Almunia - hemorrhoids

[Sri]

So THATS what is wrong with Blondie!

[Kiwigunner]

I thought Ricky was on international duty recently?

[Spider]

Nop Rosicky didn't play with Czech on june 4 , but there is another match between Czech and japan so let's wait and see if he is gonna play or not

Another Arsenal ace exits England Under 21 squad as injured Gibbs follows Wilshere out

Kieran Gibbs has pulled out of the England Under 21 squad for this month's European Championship due to an ankle injury.

The Arsenal defender was due to travel to Denmark today but he aggravated the injury while playing in Sunday's 2-0 victory over Norway at Southampton.

England have chosen not to replace Gibbs so head coach Stuart Pearce will have only 22 players to choose from at the tournament, which starts on June 11.

No go: Arsenal left back Kieran Gibbs (left) is nursing an ankle injury and so will not travel to Denmark

The injury is so serious that the FA do not expect the defender to play any part in the tournament, which runs up until June 25.

The 21-year-old, who was vying for the left-back spot with Chelsea's Ryan Bertrand, will now stay in England with the injured ankle in a protective boot.

Pearce is confident his side will be able to cope without the Gunners defender.

'We have to deal with setbacks every now and again, but we are fortunate to have a squad and a staff with previous tournament experience,' Pearce said. 'It's unfortunate for Kieran, but he went for a scan yesterday and is in a medical boot.'

Gibbs, who has played 15 times for the Under 21 team, is the fourth full international to be ruled out from Pearce's original 40-man squad.

Andy Carroll failed to recover from injury in time to make the final 23, Jack Wilshere's fears of burnout ruled him out of the championship and Micah Richards is missing thanks to a hamstring problem.

England take on Spain in their first group-stage game on Sunday before playing Ukraine and the Czech Republic the following week.

Gibbs is waayy to injury prone. This is a big concern for us, if we intend him to be Clichy's sucessor. We should have some other options developed, in case we have to sell an injury-prone Gibbs in the future. And quite honestly, there is a LOT of room for improvement for Gibbs.

[Kiwigunner]

Classic Gibbs. Gets game time, gets injured.

I remember at one point last season Clichy got a game off, so gibbs played his first game in weeks, but got injured at 60 minutes. Eboue ended up playing LB and Sagna came on at RB.

[jayp]

Injuries are gonna kill this kids career...

[Wilson37]

I guess wenger will say all the injury Update once the pre-season starts

We had :
Fabianski - shoulder
Rosicky - mysterious illness
Cesc - thigh injury
Almunia - hemorrhoids

he.. He..
no news of any bids for Almunic.. May be he will run out for free and we may lose the possible peanuts also which we may get if he moves now..

[Sri]

I'd say 1.5 mil for him.. And thats stretching it..

[A Gunner]

lol i'd give 1.5m for him to leave

[Sri]

Gibbs seems to be in pre-season with the team.. Means his injury is done right? For now?

[RealGunner]

he looks really happy as well lol

[Spider]

For now ? Yes

But don't worry this is just a temporary situation , he will hopefully get injured soon ( fingers crossed )

[Sri]

@Spider: you better eat your words up realll quick if we aren't going to sign any LB this transfer window!!
