Wenger: We are the worst with injuries

Manager Arsène Wenger admits that we seem to be most unlucky club amongst the big four when it comes to injuries, especially when we're in the months of November or December.

There is a list of injured players on the Physio Room website which makes for interesting reading.

Currently, we have the following nine players injured: Tomas Rosicky, Theo Walcott, Kieran Gibbs, Abou Diaby, Robin van Persie, Nicklas Bendtner, Gaël Clichy, Eduardo and Johan Djourou.

Wenger said: "We pick up more injuries than the other big teams, that is true.

"You cannot say there is not a reason for it but we have not found it yet.

"It's the worst season for injuries for us. And they are all in the same area - in the offensive side. Last year it was in the defensive side."

The number is the highest amongst the top four clubs, with Manchester United coping without 7 players, Chelsea without 3 and Liverpool without 2.

It's ironic that the club with the biggest and most experienced squad - Chelsea - have the second least injuries, and Liverpool with 2, are still not doing too well. Unless of course, those 2 are Gerrard and Torres of course!
