At Member's Day:

Samir Nasri, Theo Walcott and Jack Wilshere were also there. The Frenchman entered the pitch at the start of the session and then promptly returned to the dressing room because of a minor ankle injury. Wilshere wasn't involved with training either as he recovers from his own ankle problem picked up at the Emirates Cup. Walcott continued his rehabilitation with some running exercises in front of the Clock End alongside fitness coach Tony Colbert.

“Nasri has a muscular problem. Cesc is just coming back from injury and he is not ready to play in the game. Diaby is out and Koscielny has a small muscular problem.

Following yesterdays match

Van Persie has an ankle problem
Gibbs has a thigh problem
Vermaelen has a slight back problem

Great!

jam....they will recover in time, it just little niggles

I'm willing to bet Wenger is playing up the injuries so his players don't go on international duty. It's a pretty common ploy, nowadays.

by Amar Sun 07 Aug 2011, 17:43

If it is a ploy, I really do wonder how Wenger convinces these guys not go on international duty.

It might be a friendly, but I'm sure most of these guys would still like a cap.

by Jay29 Sun 07 Aug 2011, 17:57

The players probably do have knocks and tweaks. Wenger likes to use science and statistics to prove his point. Like with Wilshere in the summer; he desperately wanted to play for the U21's but Wenger managed to convince him with stats proving he was close to injury.

But this is Arsenal and we probably do have six players missing through injury.

by Amar Sun 07 Aug 2011, 17:59

Was Gibbs called upto the England team?

I mean if he wasn't, I would be surprised if Gibbs was genuinely injured.

Jack Wilshere on Twitter:

@JackWilshere: Gutted to be out of the Game on wednesday...but my ankle is not right! I will be fit as soon as i know longer feel pain! Keep you informed!

I want to laugh sadistically at Fabio Capello at this point. Twisted Evil

It seems Wenger will be giving injury news to Arsenal.com on Thursdays again this season.

In this case, 1 more day until we get the team news.

The team news for the Newcastle game is the most unpredictable team news in recent memory.

by Jay29 Wed 10 Aug 2011, 00:21

If we have one too many injuries, it might work in our favour if the Newcaslte game gets postponed due to the riots.

by SamuelJayC Wed 10 Aug 2011, 23:51

Aaron Ramsey was taken off against Australia at half time with suspected calf injury.

The Times newspaper reporting that Jack Wilshere is out of both the Newcastle and the 1st leg Udinese game.

by RealGunner Thu 11 Aug 2011, 21:57

Injury update, Walcott, RVP, Koscielny, Vermaelen, Ramsey all fit. Gibbs late fitness test. Wilshere definitely out

by Jay29 Thu 11 Aug 2011, 22:12

So potential team for Newcastle:

Szczesny

Sagna --- Koscielny --- Vermaelen --- Traore

Song --- Ramsey

Walcott --- Rosicky --- Gervinho

van Persie

Doesn't look too bad, I guess.

Exactly what I would go with...

^ ^ I hope Rozza has a good game.

Nasri on the left for sure. Fabregas on the bench, expect him to start vs liverpool. And yes, neither are leaving.

by Lex Thu 11 Aug 2011, 23:01

Lol the Holland/England game gets called off, Walcott, Wilshere and RVP rise like Lazarus from the tomb

by Artilleristen Thu 11 Aug 2011, 23:01

do you guys think the same line-up for udinesse, or minor tweaks?

by RealGunner Thu 11 Aug 2011, 23:04

there will be minor tweaks i suppose. At home we can afford to put out a bit weaker team. Maybe the likes of Ryo or Chamberlain.

but the real problem will be away leg, and we will have Liverpool before that match and man utd after that

by Jay29 Thu 11 Aug 2011, 23:11

Van Persie is suspended for the first leg, so I guess we'll see Chamakh. But then, if Bendtner is still here I'd rather play him.

Wilshere likely to be unfit for that one, too. Gibbs will probably be back.

Only change I can imagine would be Gibbs in for Traore and Chamakh in for van Persie.

by Iceman Thu 11 Aug 2011, 23:16

Lets not underestimate the games at home. Remember, we had problems winning games at our own grounds last season. Hopefully the new additions to the squads will help with that
