The Wilshere, Cazorla and Hayden cases should tell you everything you need to know about injury management at this club in recent times.

Just a bit under 2 hours now. With 3 of our top cb's out I can see this being a difficult game, more then we think, lets just hope Auba, Laca, Özil (if he plays) can show their true ability up front & just be a bit too classy for them. If we stick to 3 at the back you'd think it would be Kos Litchensteiner & Monreal?

If we win this il buzz

A cold day on the South Coast. Can't say I'm looking forward to this! Should be a routine win though. We need goals on the pitch, so I hope to see 3-5-2. Laca and Auba to start and sink the Saints early.

Nketiah as an option of the bench.

Cazorla was treated in England, Sweden and Spain by specialists. Infections after surgery happen to some people, sometimes sepsis occurs. It’s part of the risks of surgery.

To blame Arsenal football club for that is stretching a point. These are individual cases and lumping them together for one cause, Arsenal medical staff, is too black and white.

Slightly dreading this match now. I’m confident in our midfield and attack but nervous about fielding an entirely different back 3 or 4. Hope Kos can come back strong. Was our best CB for so long.

The Hayden case is just classic Arsenal. Cazorla was just unfortunate.

I think the biggest issue Wenger had with injuries was the fact teams set about us. And Wenger done nothing to challenge it. He didn't buy an enforcer or create the perception we could mix it up in the Emirates era and teams kicked us up and down the park for it. I looked at City yesterday and Everton tried to kick them briefly and Laporte was straight in.

Do you know if Park-Chu Young is fit again?

 

[A_G]

Xhaka-Torreira-Guendouzi all starting together seems unecessary

Groin problem.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Hmm another interesting selection

 

[OnlyOne]

Iwobi and Mhki ahead of Özil and Lacazette ffs, hope its fitness. Dog **** team, 3-0 Southampton.

 

[NieThePiet]

Ffs. I have enough of Mikhi.

I can understand that Özil and Laca aren't starting after their match on Thursday.

Shame that Kolasinac is injured again... 2 games and another injury.

Wenger literally said himself that he tried to get Cazorla to play through injections instead of just having it operated on. Could've avoided the whole mess to begin with.

 

[MaraDon]

Lolo is back.

 

[NieThePiet]

Xhaka probably Left Back again..

 

[Fewtch]

Safe to say that we can expect some “genius” halftime subs today as well
