Wilshere out for the season.

[Flavs]

Our meidical team are useless...im sorry they are

It's not there fault the players are a bunch of pussy's

[McNamara That Ghost...]

So a totally unrelated injury?



Fuck this shit tbf.

Well not totally unrelated because a stress fracture can only occur, almost as residual damage from the stress put on it - hence the name. Put it this way, it's something that should be identifiable if you take the time to see if the player is in the danger zone, the name implies it isn't something you just 'get'.

It's especially stupid it has happened to a player who is (was) coming back from injury.

[Marc Overmars]

What a farce.

Need Gary Lewin back tbh.

Doesn't look like his expertise runs in the family.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Sky Sports sources understand Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere will find out in a fortnight the severity of what is believed to be a stress fracture to the right foot.

Wilshere has been not played a game all season due to an ankle problem which first troubled him whilst away on international duty with England last season.

He had hoped to be back in action by the end of February but there have been stories this week about an apparent setback in his recovery.

Manager Arsene Wenger responded by saying Wilshere had not had to return to wearing a protective boot, but fresh reports suggested on Wednesday he would remain sidelined until the end of the campaign and would not be fit for Euro 2012.
Influence

It is now understood that while the 20-year-old's original injury has healed fairly well, he has suffered a stress fracture to the same area of the right foot.

It is too early to say how long Wilshere will be out for, but it is thought that he will visit a specialist in two weeks' time.

Arsenal will then have a better idea of when the youngster might be able to return, having missed his influence in the centre of the field this term.

The Gunners are currently sixth in the Premier League standings ahead of Wednesday night's clash with Bolton.

I think by Sky Sports sources they mean arsenal.com.

[Fist of Lehmann]

This playing players until they die comes about partly because Wenger only seems to trust a small proportion of his players to play. Once Wilshere proved what could be achieved from his position, Denilson, although fit, never got a look in. We were grateful for that at the time, not so much now.

We are well into this process with Ramsey this season.

But if there's one good thing to come out of the ACoN it's that Oxlain took his chance, and by rights should now be considered a trusted player. Once Gervingo comes back, Chamberlade should be allowed to rotate with Ramsey and possibly Rosicky for the attacking midfield spot, saving Ramsey from certain death.

AND, he should be considered for the wide positions.

We also have Alex Song who can play there.

But seriously. It ain't gonna happen.

AOC will be benched, and Gerv will be re-instated.

I honestly don't think Arshavin will be played again.

If he's out for the season we're fucked. Our midfield has lacked creativity all season, and without Wilshere I can't see us getting 4th place. Wenger must take a lot of responsibility for this, having overplayed Wilshere last season. There was and still is insufficient squad depth in terms of quality, which forces us to play the few top quality players regularly. Other teams don't have this problem because they have managers who are not so stubborn and realise the importance of having enough strength in depth to compete on multiple fronts.

Terry Tuffnutz says this is for the best, when in fact it is the worst news possible. Wilshere may have been put under pressure to improve the midfield if he returned this season, but there's no reason he wouldn't have handled the pressure and contributed to improving our midfield immeasurably.

[21_GOONER_SALUTE]

I don't think anyone saw this coming.

Yup ........ let alone a coach who's got 50000 subs worth of experience.

[Niall_Quinn]

He'll be back in time for England lads, just watch and see. Even if he's not 100% the cunts will take him.
