Sorry, I forgot to add, the text is from the Champions League website, the top graphic is from the Arsenal website and the Ade piccie was all that I did (apart from format the text to make it more presentable).
Not gonna take credit for something I didn't type out.

Senna just went off injured for Villareal. Looks like his knee.

No senna should mean Cesc running the midfield with very little to stop him :twisted:

Yep just watching the second half of the Villareal V Malaga game, Senna has picked up an injury and the yellows have been poor, just finished they lost 2-0.

I came on to make the same thread only to find out that it was already here. Top post, capitan.
Here's what I was going to write:
You might call it luck, or even karma or faith if you're swinging that way. It doesn't matter. Senna just went off injured in the home game against Malaga, a minute or so before the guests scored their second goal. He went off despite the fact that Villarreal had already made all their substitutions and were struggling. They're down to ten men right now. He's getting the knee bandaged on the sideline. It doesn't look good. Also, Villarreal has so many players suspended and/or injured that they're forced to play a couple of young reserves.
Now, far be it from me to wish injuries upon other players - ideally I'd prefer to beat our opponents while they've got their best team available so they can't blame it on the players they're missing - but given all the heavy injuries we've suffered the last few days this is great news with wednesday in mind. I hope that the injury isn't serious but that it is serious enough to make him miss the game.
That's all, I think. This is probably the most important game we've played this season and if United continue to play like they do we will face Porto in the next round. So let's hope for that.

You mean in their league, right? Because against us they're all good to go.Klaus Daimler said:

I think so. Don't know how many that are injured though, apart from Cazorla who's out for the remainder of the season and most likely Senna who limped off tonight.AnthonyG said:
EDIT: Actually, I just read that both Ruben Cani and Mati Fernandez (who replaced Cani at half time against us) were troubled by injuries tonight - not suspensions. Cani had pain in his thigh and Fernandez had injured his ankle. They're both doubts for the game on wednesday.

yeah, i dont like to wish injury on anyone, but at least the odds seem to be evening out a bit. I think we will play the same back line we did today, and play a defensive minded 4-5-1, something like nasri-denilson-cesc-song-eboue(if walcott is out) with ade up front.

Our defense is the X factor on wednesday and will be the X factor for the rest of the season.

Well that's too bad for Villarreal, but given our own injury woes I have little sympathy.

Cazorla broke his leg? i thought he was suspended in the last game.
senna's injury is a big boost for us. he was fantastic in the first leg and barely left cesc alone.
now we just have to rely on our patched up defense to pull through this and we're good to go.

Nope, Villarreal had no suspensions in the first leg.

I think he broke his foot, even. It happened in the game they lost to Ameria a few days before they played us. And to add insult to injury, it wasn't even a challenge. He just fell over and broke it with his own weight. Poor chap.nazo said:

I would feel more confident about the match if Clichy was playing. This will be huge game for Gibbs, here hoping he has much better game than Wigan.
