Also Fabregas is out for the rest of the season. Another Arsenal player with a broken leg!
Yeh, we don't get a break when it comes to injuries... (Pun?
) He actually played on for the last 3 or 4 minutes of the game as well, what a hero :rock: . I'm not as distressed as I once would have been for his injury, Nasri has shown he can play the Cesc role in our team when he's needed. I'm more worried about the 2 CB's, Vermaelen is awesome but Gallas has a flimsy leg, Tweety is an idiot and Sol can only play one full game per week tops.
The thread is still Soccer though, it's upsetting me Thank you oh glorious moderators :bowdown:
Just read Arseblog and realised how bad our injuries have been this season:
The list is long and varied: Nasri, broken leg. Robin van Persie, ruptured ankle ligaments and badly strained gooch. Aaron Ramsey, broken leg. Theo Walcott, various. William Gallas, calf. Gael Clichy, back. Denilson, back. Abou Diaby, various. Eduardo, various. Carlos Vela, kidnapped by monkeys. Manuel Almunia, broken heart. Bendtner, 3 month groin problem. Gibbs, broken foot.
They have been ever changing in their consistency and we've been robbed of players at vital times. Now we get the news that Gallas has done his calf, again, and faces at least three weeks out. Andrei Arshavin has also done his calf and could well face at least that length of time out (his mother reckons he's out for the season!), while Cesc's season is over after it was revealed he'd cracked his fibula during Wednesday's game against Barcelona.
The official statement from the club suggests that it happened in the wake of the Carles Puyol tackle but there's speculation he went into the game with a broken leg. The challenge which left him hobbling at Birmingham seems much more likely to have done the damage, or at least weakened it considerably - and thank you to whichever clogging *beep* that was, by the way. Personally I think it was the way he hit the penalty that did for him in the end. The idea that a medical team as skilled as Arsenal's (let's face it, they get plenty of practice) would have missed a broken leg is not really credible
