This guy pipes up every time Ramsey gets injured ffs.

He worked with Rambo for Wales for a time I believe.

It's not just Ramsey though - he runs his mouth of every time we have have a few injuries - ****ing rent a quote. Sick of nobodies having digs at Arsène.

Hmmm.. page is 404'd for me.

Here's Wenger's quote from the official site

on Walcott and Ox…Both are out for Saturday’s game and until at least after the international break so they are out as well for England. I believe the quickest back will be Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Theo Walcott might be a fraction longer.

Ah ok thanks. So they're saying "a fraction longer" could mean until December. True enough, but the Mirror article seemed to try and say Wenger had "confirmed" that he was definitely out until then. He even says in the Guardian article that it's just his "gut feeling."

At least he didn't say the dreaded "two weeks" out!

Fresh Theo Walcott Injury Update

However, the Telegraph are reporting that Theo is expected to miss the next five weeks meaning he’ll sit out our games against Swansea, Bayern Munich and Tottenham before the international break as well as subsequent games versus West Brom, Dinamo Zagreb and Norwich.

“Walcott thinks he got a kick on his ankle and he felt it displaced a little. Then, your calf doesn’t work in the right position, then you can get an injury because it extends a little bit too much in a different position. You cannot plan everything. Players have to be robust.”

We know our squad is injury prone but then our back up players are also injury prone. Recipe for disaster every single season.

 

[Bould14]

Theo is so injury prone....we have have to recall Akpom unless Wenger wants to go Alexis at ST.

If we can recall Akpom, it might not be until January by which time we should have Welbz back. If Welbz is back then can't see him recalling Akpom.

Think you can recall straight away from the Championship, we did with Coq

and crowley.

 

[redanddread]

I think you can recall WITHIN a certain amount of days but i don't think it's a situation where you can just recall whenever or when you feel like.

No Hector Bellerin in the #AFC squad that travels to Munich. The full-back has "a small" groin problem #UCL

Could also just be shattered from splattering his spleen against the upright in our last game

Whatevs. If we can't handle the annual crisis then we're not meant to win it. I was quietly confident before the Theo and Ox injuries because it seemed that we'd figured out how to avoid muscular injuries and so any new ones would be impact problems which can be mitigated somewhat.

Starting to get a little worried now though.


All that said,

Physio Room has us getting Arteta, Ramsey, Ox and Ospina all back in time for West Brom (wouldn't surprise me if Ox and Ramsey are "fit" before then but we're keeping them away from intn'l duty). Theo a week or two beyond that and Jack hopefully in no more than 6 weeks.

We manage to avoid injuries in that period and I'd be confident of a push.

 

[logic DC]

what's the word on theo I honestly believe that if he is fit for the remainder of the season we will win the league, hopefully his back in time for the city game if he plays we win that one and city won't be able to catch us in race snap got to excited there for a moment but it's hard not to tbh

 

[RUS arsenal]

So Theo's is an impact injury from getting kicked or stepped on? Hmm...

 

[David Smith]

What is a small groin problem?

Is it a groin strain? If so that can be anywhere between 3 and 6 weeks for Bellerin.

 

[Jasard]

So many muscle injuries.
