As it stands the only positions that can deal with an injury at this moment are Gk and left back. Every other spot will be weakened by someone dropping out. Don't know how this is acceptable to the management or to even someone like gazidis who should still have an interest in the football matters when it comes to a situation like this.
We are a Giroud, Rosicky, Walcott or Cazorla injury away from playing a completely green youth player.
