Djourou Out 6 Months
By: Martin | September 6th, 2009
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 injuries to report. Arshavin sat out Russia’s game yesterday with the groin injury he picked up against United. Cesc came on as a sub for Spain in the 70th minute without incident. Tomas Rosicky did not feature in the Czech Republic squad who drew against Slovakia.
Not much else in the way of news to report. Needless to say, this makes it that much more important that Gallas and Vermaelen stay healthy, and all of a sudden, Senderos has gone from being on his way out to being a guy who may very well play an important role in Arsenal’s quest for trophies this season.
You also have to feel really bad for Djourou. The young swiss back has worked hard for years, and at times looked very good when called into action last season. Although not in the first-choice 11, Djourou figured to see plenty of action for us this season, and has now suffered a huge setback to his career aspirations. I’m sure I speak for all Arsenal fans when I say I hope he has a complete and speedy recovery–even if it’s not for us, he deserves to have a long, happy, successful career, and hopefully this will be nothing more than a speedbump.
