We all knew that more injuries were going to occur. There's a reason that Vela, Ramsey and Wilshere all have numbers before 20.

They're about to be called on to hold our big 4 status. Let's hpe they're ready.

not the same shoulder, the opposite one - reminds me of djibril cisse's broken legs ...

The mounting injuries are a concern but not overly disappointed at Walcott getting injured, thought he needed a break from the first team anyway, injury is not a bad one and gives the opportunity to others to stake a claim for first team status.

Injuries can be picked up at anytime, that is one of the reasons why top teams have a large squad. Its a shame for Walcott. This will limits Wengers ability to vary the game.
International matches are important as it provides opportunities to fringe players to impress. I don't think sueing any FA is the answer as this would limit international matches to rich countries

A shame because it's happened on meaningless friendly date. The sooner some club takes the national team to the court of arbitration to stop this sham the better.

This is exactly why Managers don't want there players going to the friendlies because it can hurt a Club tremendously. Now our winger is injured from training. Probably the same shoulder he had surgery on. God's speed Theo. Hurry back.
