[McNamara That Ghost...]

That's the second cruciate injury of his career.

[Kano]

unbelievable. truly.

most worrying is what this means for his career. second season in a row this has happened to him and how he can make a career based on successive injuries like this is anyone's guess.

[Marc Overmars]

Fucking hell.

2 cruciates and he's only 20.

I guess the curse just follows you if you're associated with Arsenal in any way.

Arsenal Football Club can confirm that on-loan midfielder Emmanuel Frimpong ruptured the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee whilst playing for Wolverhampton Wanderers against Queens Park Rangers during the first half of Saturday’s Premier League fixture at Loftus Road.

Having had a similar injury to his left knee in 2010, Emmanuel will see specialists in London over the next few days before having surgery and starting a programme of rehabilitation.

Jack Wilshere has turned to technology in a bid to try and rescue his season.

The Arsenal midfielder has missed the entire campaign thus far due to injury and recently suffered a setback thanks to a further a stress fracture picked up in training.

It was expected that Wilshere would be out for the rest of the season and would play no part at Euro 2012.

However, in a desperate attempt to recover from his injury the England player has started using Exogen ultrasound bone healing equipment.

Despite being on holiday, Wilshere tweeted a picture of his leg strapped to the machine and commented: “Dear exogen machine...please heal me quicker...love from your number one customer!”

The 20-year-old has five senior England caps and was a key member of the Gunners' squad last season, making 49 appearances.

Arsenal have apparently been handed a boost with reports that midfielder Jack Wilshere is making good progress with his recovery from injury.

The 20-year-old suffered an ankle injury against New York Red Bulls last year and underwent surgery due to a lack of progress following the injury. His comeback was further delayed due to a stress fracture.

Now, however, The Sunday Mirror reports that the midfielder has made excellent progress and could even return to action next month, if his scans come back all clear.

Wilshere will be vying for a place not only in the Gunners' first team but also in England's squad for the European Championship tournament that will take place at Poland and Ukraine in the summer.
