Injury Report
Thirteen
By: Martin |Well, it never ends. Apparently Aaron Ramsey has also picked up a knock on international duty, meaning we now have fully thirteen players injured.
If you’re curious, we have 29 players listed in our first-team. Which means we are only a few injuries away from having literally more than half our team injured. Maybe there’s [...]
What Impact will van Persie’s Injury Have?
By: Martin |Well, I just finished gnashing my teeth, rending my clothes, and dropping down to my knees, head thrust upward, yelling “Why, God? Why?!” I think now I can almost think rationally about this.
The big news is that the injury is not quite as bad as it had been first thought. Originally, everyone was reporting [...]
van Persie Out Injured; In Other News, I HATE International Friendlies
By: Martin |Most of you have probably already seen this, but Robin van Persie tore an ankle ligament today, an injury which will keep him out for an estimated 2-3 months.
In what, you may ask, super-important match was he playing in to take on such an injury? Was it the World Cup? Nope. The European championships? [...]
AZ Preview; Clichy Injured; RvP Speaks
By: Martin |Well, just as my preview for the first match against AZ announced a monthlong injury to Theo Walcott, I’m afraid I’ve got more bad injury news to report here.
Fabianski Injured, Merida Negotiations Continue, Gibbs for England?
By: Martin |Just several random things going on today, none of which really deserve their own post, so I figured I would just dump them in here together.
AZ Preview; Walcott Out 3-4 Weeks
By: Martin |Champions League matchup tomorrow against AZ Alkmaar, and for some reason I can’t look at that name without thinking of Azkaban prison from Harry Potter. When I imagine what their home pitch is like, I picture it being a desolate little island in the middle of the cold sea. When you finally get there, with [...]
And We’re Back
By: Martin |Players report back to London today, and hopefully by the end of today or early tomorrow we’ll have an inventory of who picked up knocks playing in internationals. At the moment, the only one I’ve heard is Gael Clichy, who injured his thigh playing for France yesterday.
Denilson, Bendtner Injured
By: Martin |Well, it’s Arsenal, so for every player that comes back from injury, another player has to get hurt. Just when it looks like we might have a full squad again, with Rosicky, Walcott, and Arshavin returning to health, a couple more players get hurt.
First, and most seriously, Denilson is apparently out two months with [...]
Why I Hate International Breaks
By: Martin |I knew it was too much to ask for for our players to get through an international break without getting injured, and I was right. Andrei Arshavin, who had to come off injured with a groin injury against Manchester United, rushed back too early to play in yesterday’s game against Wales. Guus Hiddink, being the [...]
Djourou Out 6 Months
By: Martin |Not good. Djourou underwent surgery and won’t be back until March at the earliest. And we’re one step closer to having to watch Silvestre play. Ugh.
The injury was the one picked up on international duty last month, reminding us of why we hate internationals. Other than that, there don’t appear to be any other [...]
