He will be fine :coffee:

Unlike your face :coffee:

[GP]

Oh snap!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Oh snap!

Who broke their leg this time? :(

[Munchies]

Sagna out for 2 weeks, hamstring injury :doh:

Thankfully there is the break I guess, but he misses WBA.

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Ffs.

[Marc Overmars]

Shame, thought he had put last seasons form behind him and started to look like the Sagan of old.

GHELkinson is capable enough though for the upcoming fixtures we have.

[Syn]

Sagna was starting to play very well too. Unfortunate.

Jenkinson is somewhat of a loose cannon. Can play very well or very badly. Lets see.

[AKBapologist]

I'm sure it'll be as long as theo walcotts 2 weeks also.

Don't want to see what happens when we loose jenks - he's at that age where they get stupid injuries all the time.

[Munchies]

Look what PingPong just posted :haha:

[Nayan]

Hard earned point. Not sure baggies will be playing like that later in the season mind
Right now that was a fair result. We had chances to win but so did they

[Master Splinter]

Koscielny out of the friendly with Australia with a little calf.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

FFS, not panic stations right now with Santi back and with Rosicky and Gnarby capable of fitting in but we do need him back for the run it. His pace and directness are essential.


Typical Arsenal for there to be a setback. There's no need to rush him though so hopefully he returns within the timeframe.

It is not about fitness anymore, it is about the manager playing Jack/Ramsey on the wing instead of more natural wide player (santi, rozza or gnabry). :coffee:

[AFC Leveller]

When is Feo back? wasnt he meant to be out for 3 weeks? set back/usual arsenal injury curse?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

It was always set at 3-5 weeks I thought.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Sadly he dislocated both shoulders in the taking of that picture.

Out for little bit 2-3 weeks.

[Xhaka Can’t]

:haha:

[Munchies]

Theo could be back against United

Wenger press conf

[Munchies]

Flamini could be back for United aswell

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Flamini could be back for United aswell

:pray:

[milla]

Benik Afobe started his first full 90 minute game after recovering from a year long injury. At least Wenger has no more excuse to have Bendtner as a backup CF on the bench. :coffee:

[PGFC]

So, Wheelchair's dead after the England game, good thing or bad thing? discuss.

[GP]

How could that be a good thing?

[PGFC]

See, imho I think he's been particularly shit recently and I think an enforced rest may do him good.

[Marc Overmars]

He's not integral so while I'd rather he was available I don't think things will go to shit without him.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

He trained today according to the Daily Heil.

[Master Splinter]

Sanogo has become the new Diaby without even playing or getting maimed by some talentless thug. Out until January. :lol:

Diaby til March. 2018.

WUMger doesn't say 2-3 weeks, so Podolski could be back for the busy festive schedule.

Ox a month away.

http://www.arsenal.com/news/news-archive/team-news-who-s-fit-to-face-saints-

[Marc Overmars]

No one could have predicted this situation for Sanogo.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What did Sanogo do to his back? :lol:

The new Bischoff, sadly.

[PGFC]

Good to see Pods back in training, shame he still hasn't mastered left/right in his English...

Reckon so.

[pmakgreb]

Since when did a hamstring take near 4 months to heal. Arsenal hamstring injury= 4 months. Any other team 4 weeks. We need podolski back asap

[GP]

Well, all hamstring injuries aren't the same, are they?

This one was apparently quite severe.

[pmakgreb]

Well, all hamstring injuries aren't the same, are they?

This one was apparently quite severe.

And typical of an arsenal player to pick up a severe injury...

Is Sagna back for saturday. we need to freshen it up. Sagna, Monreal, Wilshere, Ramsey and Walcott should all be relatively fresh having not featured much if at all last night.

[Dein-machine]

Anyone got news on theo

[-Xs-]

4 weeks according to the mail

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2534104/Arsenal-forward-Theo-Walcott-sidelined-four-weeks.html

[fakeyank]

:doh:

At least Giroud is back next week and we got Gnabry who can play there too!

[GP]

:lol: That Mail article doens't say anything.

'Could' be 4 weeks, pure guess work.

[-Xs-]

:lol: That Mail article doens't say anything.

:lol: completely

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

We have an easy January luckily. And Gnabry is sick blud.

[Master Splinter]

Theo out for six months:

http://www.arsenal.com/news/news-archive/theo-walcott-ruled-out-for-six-months

Out of the World Cup too.

:ilt:

We are little bit cursed.

Come on Gnabry and Oxlade :bow:.

And come on Draxler, Di Maria and Costa.

[Niall_Quinn]

Cursed. Big year for Ox's development - injured long term. Big year for Theo to take a big step forward (which he was in the process of doing) - injured long term. Last year was a big year for Jack's development - injured forever. It's a miracle Ozil, Kos and Merts and injured for "2 weeks". Very frustrating but I guess everyone except the comedy clubs cfc and mcfc have to deal with this sort of shit.

[Dein-machine]

But why is it our injuries seem to take twice the time as everyone else's. I'm sure this isn't the case but it always seems like it. City lose Aguero with a muscle tear & he could be out for 2 months but he's back in weekd. Rambo gets what looks like a littel strain & is out for ages - is Harold Shipman our medical adviser?

[GP]

No, Harold Shipman is actually dead.

City have 736 players they can replace Aguero with and they intend to buy 1,254 more this month. City can replace their entire team with another team of international players, they can rotate, rest, the basically run two squads. We have one squad and players like Jack have been played to death. That must play a part. But mostly I guess it's bad luck. The challenge on Theo seemed innocuous, but apparently not. Could happen to anyone, happened to us. Utd seeing RvC on the sidelines is hurting them too.

[Dein-machine]

No, Harold Shipman is actually dead.

Alright then, Beverly Allitt.

[GP]

Ox is playing tonight for the u21s.

[Özil's Panoramic View]

What's the news on Montreal and Rosicky?

[Niall_Quinn]

Arteta and Oxalde-Chamberlain both suffered what were described as “knocks” in Sunday’s 2-0 win against Crystal Palace and did not require additional treatment yesterday on what was a day off for the squad. They will be fully assessed today and the hope is that Arteta and Oxlade-Chamberlain will be joined in full training this week by Wilshere.

Well let's hope so or we're fucked.

[KSE Comedy Club]

Reports suggesting that Ramsey and Kallstrom won't be back until April.

:coffee:

[Syn]

We'll do it for Ramsey.

[Xhaka Can’t]

We'll do it for Ramsey.

Harsh on Kallstrom.

[Grebbo]

Any news on Gibbo?

[Özim]

Any news on Gibbo?

Yeah, news is he's always injured.

[Chippy]

Anyway:

http://www.arsenal.com/news/news-archive/walcott-s-ankle-needs-more-investigation-




And


http://www.arsenal.com/news/news-archive/henderson-out-for-minimum-of-six-months






So it begins :coffee:
Kos (back) , Wilshire (hamstring) Monreal (foot) all picked up these injuries today! Let's hope they are not serious!

[selassie]

Our injury situation is really dire at the moment.

http://www.arsenal.com/news/news-archive/20140327/team-news-who-s-fit-to-face-man-city-


on the injured players…
Monreal should be the first one back in training because he is just starting to run in the next few days. After him, Ramsey is progressing well but we need to be patient for a few more weeks.

No mention of Kos, Ozil or Jack. The Ramsey news is a real worry too. It looks like we're going to be without those guys for the crunch game at Everton and the Cup-Semi.

[Niall_Quinn]

Kos 2-4 weeks was the last mention IIRC. Which is probably the biggest loss of all considering how tight this run-in is going to be.

[Neo Reloaded]

All massive losses as are first choice players.

Ramsey's injury sounds like Rosicky's couple of seasons back - hope it doesn't take that long to recover. I'd like some clarity from the club on what it is.

In summer a new Med team is as important as signing a striker in my opinion. How can we have so many key players injured every season and also they seem to take a lot longer to recover compared to other clubs - that or we buy injury prone players as they're cheaper perhaps??

[selassie]

http://www.arsenal.com/news/news-archive/20140410/team-news-who-s-fit-to-face-wigan-

I hope this internal investigation re: training methods and medical team is going well, the amount of injuries we have every season is a farce, it's totally and utterly unacceptable.

Players are dropping like flies at the business end of the season, WTF is going on?


Team news: Who's fit to face Wigan?

Arsène Wenger has given the following fitness updates ahead of Saturday's FA Cup semi-final clash with Wigan at Wembley.

on late fitness tests…
I cannot give you concrete team news because we have so many uncertainties about Chamberlain (groin), Gibbs (ankle), Rosicky (thigh). There will be last-minute decisions on those three players. They are all 50:50.

on Ozil and Koscielny...
Ozil and Koscielny are still out. I think the earliest to come back for Koscielny could be Tuesday and for Ozil it could be next Saturday. That would be a boost because at the moment we have too many players out and it's important we get them back. We know that at this period of the season, the number of players we had out is too many.

on Diaby...
Diaby is back to full training next week. He could be available soon, maybe in a couple of weeks.

on Ramsey…
He is ready to start and certainly I will decide to start him because Flamini is suspended.

on Fabianski…
Fabianski will play in goal. It's not a difficult decision because it's a decision that has been made for a long time.

on whether Fabianski would play in the final…
Let's play on Saturday. You play football on your merit and your performance and he has turned up with top-level performances until now in every single game. He has done extremely well. He has been man of the match in the three games he has played.

on Wilshere…
It's all going well but he has not started to run. I think that's planned for next week. At the moment all is going well.

[RomfordPele]

Not listed as injured right now, I don't think. So he's either fit or, much more likely, dead.

:bow:

Both Liverpool and Man City haven't had European football for most of that time so it's a slightly unfair comparison.

Still, having had 100 more injuries than second place United does indicate that there is something deep rooted that needs to be sorted out and it isn't coincidence.

[AFC Leveller]

Wenger kills his players by overplaying them and rarely roatating his key first teamers.

[PGFC]

So, Ozil out for 10-12 weeks according to the Germans, that brings us nicely to the transfer window...

I see Ramsay injury worse than first thought too, maybe out until mid/ late November <_<

[PGFC]

So, come January, it'll be like the 3 new signings Ozil, Giroud and Ramsey come to save us from our relegation battle...

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Well who will get the blame now then?

[Xhaka Can’t]

I'm fucking fed up with year after year of seemingly minor injuries at first turning into players out for the season. A new medical team, but the same old shit.

We may as well get shot of these guys too and bring in the medical team from Dignitas.

[Bumble]

this actually looks like good planning by Wenger. we are stocked full of midfielders for the inevitable injury crisis in that area. well done Arsene.

[AFC Leveller]

Why can't our players miss 1 or 2 weeks like other players?

[Munchies]

German fitness coach :haha:

German efficiency :pal:

Wenget :pal:

Atleast no Ozil out wide

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

We didn't need Cesc :haha: :haha: :haha:

[selassie]

Something really wrong at the club. I am not sure what it is but it has long gone past being bad luck regarding our injuries.

The only saving grace with Ozil's is that we have plenty of players to cover the wings, especially now that Theo & Gnabry are due back.

[Marc Overmars]

Absolutley pathetic.

Shad Fraudsythe.

[Niall_Quinn]

Fabregas would be pretty handy now. Though who could have guessed we'd pick up long term injuries to our key players. It's never happened before.

[Xhaka Can’t]

If we signed Cesc, he would no doubt have been injured within a month. But at least it would have stopped Chelsea from benefitting from a truly world class midfielder.

[fakeyank]

Ozil's injury is a blessing in disguise. This means Santi can play through the middle along with Jack and a DM. We can then actually have a front 3 of Walcott, Welbeck and Sanchez! That is just an awesome thought... :cloud9:

Out of the folks injured, only Debuchy and Ramsey are people we need urgently. Rest, I could care less.

Btw, whats up with Diaby? :lol:

[topgun]

It's like a tag team in the f-----g treatment room,one steps out another steps in. wtf ??????

It is ridiculous and it can't keep being bad luck. I've no idea what's going wrong but they need to sort it out.
You can't blame the new guy, he's only just walked in the door. This problem has been going on for years.

[mr_brighterside]

it must be our set up

Wenget says Kos will be out for another 4 weeks. :rolleyes:

[Xhaka Can’t]

Maybe our ground is radioactive, or whatever it is that causes brittle bone disease and wastage of ligaments.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

There was cadmium found in the soil of my great aunts back garden in Reading, I don't recall bone, tissue wastage specifically per se but she definitely died of cancer shortly afterwards.

I still firmly believe that the pitch at St James causes Newcastle to seem to have an almost never ending injury crisis, seen transcripts of players interviewed that say its like playing on concrete.

Soft tissue injuries on our training ground seem to be caused by player fatigue through lack of rotation, or a training schedule that probably involves a lot of running, jumping and stretching but very little in the way of anything that bulks up muscles and builds endurance,

[Niall_Quinn]

Wenget says Kos will be out for another 4 weeks. :rolleyes:

2 weeks means 2 months, 3 weeks means half the season, they don't usually announce 4 weeks, anyone know how long that is in Arsenal time?

Hopefully Welbz but Giroud decent option on the bench also I think both could play together as well in some games. might as well make the team a bit flexible.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hard to muster any sympathy for Wilshere; it has been said for quite a while he is too reckless with the way he plays, serious injury was just around the corner and here it is.

Maybe I can if it has long term implicatons, it is an ankle issue after all.

Vermaelen. :rose:

[Niall_Quinn]

Fuuuuuuck!

Reports that Ramsey could be out for F O U R !!! :yikes: :wave: WEEKS - how long is that in real time? A couple of seasons? Are we just imagining that our club is the undefeated, undisputed world champion of injuries because we're focused on Arsenal, or is it genuinely beyond a joke?

Beyond a joke, we just cripple players with our flawed training regimes. The amount of players who pick up muscular injuries at Arsenal is way beyond the norm for it to be considered unlucky.

Diaby has his own web site, diabyinjuries4u.com

[fakeyank]

Whatever happened to Gnabry? I remember being very close to return along with Theo but there is no news on him anymore. Guess he got injured while being injured too!

[Niall_Quinn]

Wenger on Diaby:

“At the moment he is not in a position where he will be able to play soon because he is not on the field at all.”
Diaby has played only 16 league games during the past four seasons amid a whole catalogue of different injuries and Wenger sounded downbeat today about his chances of returning in the foreseeable future. Diaby is out of contract this summer and, asked about the situation, Wenger said: “I will have a decision to make about his contract.”

There are also doubts for Sunday over Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain (groin) and Hector Bellerin (ankle) but Serge Gnabry is back in training.

[fakeyank]

If Diaby is given a new contract, I will lose faith in humanity

[Marc Overmars]

It would certainly be his greatest WUM.

[GP]

4-year contract, £85k a week, confirmed.

[Niall_Quinn]

4-year contract, £85k a week, confirmed.

Absolute bullshit! That £85k is if he wins the CL, PL, FA Cup, is MotM in every match and scores a hat trick each time. In reality it's closer to £84k pw.

[adzzzbatch]

Alexis out of the NLD :ilt: :ilt: :ilt:

[Marc Overmars]

What goes on at this club? Jack's back! Apart from the surgery thing.

[Niall_Quinn]

Abou Diaby set to be released by Arsenal after nine years at the club
Midfielder has spent over four years of his spell at the club out injured
Arsene Wenger beat off competition from Chelsea to sign him in 2006
Clocked up 42 injuries with Arsenal, averaging a setback every 80 days

[AFC Leveller]

Didnt take Gabriel long to be introduced to the injury room.

[selassie]

Didnt take Gabriel long to be introduced to the injury room.

Predictably it's his first muscular injury of the season, he didn't suffer one at Villareal.

Nothing to do with our training methods though even though pretty much the entire first team have been out at one point this season with a muscular injury. :rolleyes:

[adzzzbatch]

Oxlade is out for 4 weeks :rolleyes:

What is it about Diaby? What strange hold does he have over Wenger?

[Goonerno1]

Our lack of action over the summer has already come back to haunt us with the loss of Welbeck

[Injury Time]

Out for 3 months...
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/34259983

See you for a couple matches and more injuries in January then :rose. #likeanewsigning

Eta so whats the odds that Shaw is back and for before Wheelchair?

[Kano]

http://www.theguardian.com/football/2015/oct/30/arsenal-theo-walcott-december-injury-arsene-wenger

Theo out a 'fraction' longer :lol:

We all know where this one is going.

[Niall_Quinn]

Oh well. No surprises here. We won't see Theo this side of Christmas. Probably not Ox either. I assume Welbeck is never coming back. Bif, Alexis, Santi and Ozil will just have to play every game while staying injury free.

[fakeyank]

Think we should offer Walcott another contract extension.. would make sense.

[fakeyank]

Sanchez is injured :lol:

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Sanchez is injured :lol:

Played in the 3-0 defeat to Uruguay

[fakeyank]

Played in the 3-0 defeat to Uruguay

With an injury supposedly. We need to give him a break. He looks jaded and out of form.. It is crazy the amount of football he has been playing!!

[Power n Glory]

It was bound to happen. Ozil will pick one up during the Christmas period.

[Kano]

He was supposed to be injured ahead of the game but played the full 90 min in his usual style.

[selassie]

We're pretty fucked injury wise, Bellerin is back which is good news but no Ramsey or Ox for Saturday, apparently they are back on Monday, Wenger never mentioned whether it was next Monday though :lol:

Theo is obviously still out along with the perma crocks and with Sanchez struggling with a calf injury we are down to the bare bones now.

Gonna be a tricky game on Saturday IMO.

[Japan Shaking All Over]

Good to hear Hector is back.......but agree tricky game ahead....Pulis loves to keep our med team busy

[Niall_Quinn]

Wenger admitted that none of Aaron Ramsey, Theo Walcott, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Jack Wilshere, Danny Welbeck, and Tomas Rosicky would be fit to feature [against Zagreb] – but issued his side with instructions to respond strongly to this adversity.

Most of them were supposed to be back after the International break. Seems like none of them will be. Does this mean our medical staff are just shit at predicting these things (or just shit full stop), does it mean the club lies about injuries? Have we just got very, very unlucky in all cases (for the hundredth time)?

So how long are these players REALLY out for? It would be good to know.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ramsey is back, WUMger has said. The rest though, who knows.

[fakeyank]

So Ramsey in the middle, or on the right?

[Niall_Quinn]

So Ramsey in the middle, or on the right?

Ramsey will probably be on the bench. His GPS stats will be crap at the moment, the computer won't select him.

[Letters]

Sanchez is injured :lol:

If that was him 'injured' last night...

[Niall_Quinn]

If that was him 'injured' last night...

For Alexis, injury means hospitalised, otherwise he's up for the fight. But even he can't keep going at this level forever. He can't keep jumping on planes to Chile for friendlies against Amazonian tribespeople either. We need to find the gaps to give him a rest and we need to find a sneaky way to keep him off that plane.

[fakeyank]

If that was him 'injured' last night...

Scary to think what this guy is capable of... and even scarier to think what we will do if he is injured for '2 weeks'

[Letters]

:lol: We are massively screwed if he gets a long term injury. He's a bit of a machine but if there's one team who can break him, it's us :(

[alexander]

As I cant be bothered to find out for myself, when are Wilshere, Welbeck, Rosicky, Theo due back? these players are out so dam much I forget what they even look like.

Or have I missed the post where they were all declared dead?

Good job we made those summer signings.

Oh wait.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I should change the title to 'Squad list' really.

[Niall_Quinn]

Oh wait.

tbf they'd be injured too. In fact I wonder if players even linked to us in the wildest speculation end up getting more injuries?

[fakeyank]

Gibbs is injured again, btw. Calf. He returns from a protracted bout of fitness by his standards.

Think Wenger's hand will be forced into buying in the January Window unless he has another Kim Kallstrom up his sleeve!

[Niall_Quinn]

It says "at least" 3 months. He may be too old to play by the time he gets back.

Couldn't we tempt Abou Diaby back - he's a midfielder isn't he?

So we are at the end of the first week of December and I was wondering whats happening with these people- Rosicky, Wilshere and Welbeck. They were all destined to come back around new years, so where are they now? I do remember seeing a couple of weeks back that Wilshere was making 'good progress' but no specific dates or details. What about Welbeck and Rosicky?

[LDG]

As I understand it, they're still shooting season 7 of The Walking Dead.

[selassie]

Sanchez has suffered a setback, out until 10th January now.

[Marc Overmars]

Shit news but we should have more than enough to cope given the upcoming fixtures;

Southampton A
Bournemouth H
Newcastle H
Sunderland H

[Kano]

Should have and to be honest the guy needs a good rest, forced or not.

[fakeyank]

We need to give Ozil a breather somewhere in the next few weeks. May be not start him or sub him off if we are in a comfortable position. Looking at the bench today and no one other than Ox looked like someone who could make a difference to the team.

[Kano]

Ozil had two weeks off over the last international break and a full summer, so I think he'll be alright for the next couple of weeks at least.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Yep.

For the Southampton game.

[Power n Glory]

Sanchez has suffered a setback, out until 10th January now.

We tried to rush him back for the City game.

[selassie]

We tried to rush him back for the City game.

Aye, I hope this doesn't come back to bite us, we need/needed more bodies back for the xmas period, we're literally going to be running the likes of Ozil, Giroud, Theo & Ramsey into the ground, we don't have anybody that can realistically cover for these guys without their being a huge dip in performance.

[Niall_Quinn]

Jack Wilshere has given Arsenal another massive injury blow after Arsene Wenger revealed that the midfielder will not return before February.
The Arsenal and England midfielder has missed the entire season after suffering a hairline fracture to his leg during the club's pre-season programme.
Wilshere's latest diagnosis will also alert England head coach Roy Hodgson as he turns his attentions towards next summer's European Championship in France.

I think this is more evidence we don't need any knee-jerk signings in January.

[Niall_Quinn]

Alexis to miss Liverpool match. There's nobody we can't break.

[IBK]

he now needs to be kept out until he is genuinely fit - let's pray that Ozil can continue to be a hero for a few more weeks.

[Marc Overmars]

Alexis should be ready for Stoke, though that probably won't be the most ideal fixture to be reintroduced. :lol:

Dont know how true this is.. great news, if true though!! :scarf:

[GP]

Welbz back in full training.

Just Santi and Jack to go now.

[fakeyank]

Supposedly Coq is in line to play some part in the FA Cup and the Southampton game.

[Niall_Quinn]

Rosicky's injury sounds horrendous.

In Wenger's words... "Nobody understands (how he got injured). I told him straight away after half-time to warm-up. I observed him, he's very conscientious Tomas, he did sprint and sprint and sprint. He comes on, after three minutes he got the injury. I looked at him and thought 'Tomas you do not run properly' because he didn't lift his legs and he lost some balls."

[Power n Glory]

:upset: Reports saying Rosicky is being forced into retirement after his latest injury.

[Marc Overmars]

Sad if true but not a shock to anyone.

He's been here for 10 years and been available for what, 4-5 years worth of games at most?

[GP]

If his latest injury keeps him out for the rest of the season then he's played his last game for us at least.

Not that he would have played much anyway, if at all.

[Power n Glory]

It was expected after the latest injury but I salute him. Won't hold a grudge against him for the injuries because I know he'd play more if it were possible.

[Marc Overmars]

Confirmed that Rosicky has a ruptured thigh and is out for 3 months. Mental.

[GP]

Cheerio, Tom.

[Gooner23]

Shame, despite all the injuries will still be sorry to see him leave. When fit and on form he was fantastic, loved a goal against the spuds too!
