Official Injury Thread 2013/14

Timbob

He's a central midfielder, if he starts pulling out of challenges he may as well retire.

Burnwinter

Not suggesting that. Just needs to not make grit and determination his calling card if he wants to have a full career. He's already at risk of ruling himself out of the World Cup.

I don't know, I imagine a large part is based on what he tells them. Either way, I think 9 times out of 10 a player would think.... hmm crucial run in plus world cup coming up, I better go off. Not our Jack.

Wenger has confirmed Jack is out for a max of 8 weeks. Ramsey and Big Kim K should be back next weekend. Koscielny is a doubt for the weekend

But there will be times in the future where Jacks mentality allows him to play in a crucial run in while carrying an injury, where a lot of other players would cry off.

I am worried Wilshere will go down the Ljungberg route where injuries eventually slow him down prematurely. He unnecessarily puts himself in harm's way too often IMO.

Ramsey saying he isn't back in full training yet but working outside with fitness coaches, he is aiming to be back for Spurs game.

Qwiss

Wenger saying similar in his press conference. Says Kallstrom will be back around the same time.

Kurtz

So only Rozza and Flamteta available for the two CM spots then? Zelelam in barebones scenario too I guess...

ludovicvanzis

Chambo too.

Qwiss

He'll play Flamteta

lorddulaarsenal

Santi can play there

True and probably go with Arteta/Flamini & Ox in the games against Bayern and Spurs. I don't think Ramsey will start the Spurs match but might come on later in the game.

Ray

Flamteta might not be ideal, but it's better than Artshere or Flamshere.

lorddulaarsenal

We want us some OxFlam!

innervisionscm

Arteta-Flamini has been our worst pairing this year by far.

Claudius

These name combos sound like over the counter flu meds
Wilshere is ignorant. Fortunately, we have enough good players in his area that he won't necessarily be missed. Imagine if we lost Giroud, Sagna or Mert right now.

lorddulaarsenal

We are fine if we lose giroud

Claudius

And put who there? No goal Sanogo, banged up Theo, unreliable Lukas, or psychotic Niklas?

Kurtz

Think Sangnabry would be a great partnership up top.
