Official Injury Thread 2013/14

Spain are England are very different Leagues though. Cesc played a lot 05/06, 06/07, and 07/08.

His first real big injury when with us was against Liverpool in 08/09 and post that he kept missing a lot of matches.

Lampard played a lot of matches for Chelsea when he was young and so do a lot of other players.

The issue is, not every player is built for such game time, not every player has such endurance and we don't really differentiate because we don't have the luxury to do so.

Giroud isn't a top striker but he somehow remains fit despite putting in a lot of minutes and so do a number of other players like Sagna.

We just have a number of injury prone players and we exacerbate that condition by overplaying them because we have no options.

Fuck sake isn't Ramsey's injury supposed to be a minor strain? Guess he's really out for the season and they just don't want to say so.

We have had to defer his comeback to full training a little so he is not available," Wenger told the club's official website.
"He is having difficulties in the final stages of his rehab. It looks to be short-term."

Hope so.

Raymond seems to know what he's talking about. Our fitness and determination is different from other PL teams but the downside to that is more injuries.

Wenger said they'll be looking at everything (treatment and training) to see if there's an underlying problem to all there injuries. Maintains Theo is back luck and that Jack's it simply down to the tackle but the rest may have a root cause.

Here's a link to what he said, good to see they are taking this matter seriously to see what on earth is going on. Should of happened years ago though but better late than never!

Wenger also said Ramsey will be out another 2 weeks as he still has pain in his thigh.

I think he does know what he is talking about but my problem with him is he words his tweets and article to get attention. Takes a lot of digs at managers and coaches which is inappropriate imo

Better 5 years late than never, i suppose!

I reckon a lot of our injuries are down to other teams thinking that they have to rough us up, and the fact that refs allow it to happen.

flobaba

That's not true though. Especially not this season. We haven't had any injuries caused specifically by bad challenges

Rex

The main worry is not the impact injuries, but the persistent muscle injuries that have plagued us for a long, long time.

on the team news for Sunday…
Monreal is definitely available, as for Gibbs we are not sure.

on Kallstrom…
He's back in the squad and available for selection.

on Ozil….
He has been injured on Tuesday night and I don't know how long exactly he will be out for but it looks a minimum of three weeks. The maximum is six.

on Sanogo…
He could be all right. He has a test yesterday which was positive.

on Ramsey…
Our worry at the moment is that Ramsey takes longer than expected. He had a first setback before and now it's slower. It was the plan for him to join in on Thursday but he still has recurrent pains in his thigh and of course he's now a little bit apprehensive because of the setback he had. We have to be very cautious with him. When will he be back? I believe it's two more weeks now.

Not overly concerned about any of the injuries apart from Ramsey's.
Slight worry creeping in that there's something vaguely Diabyesque going on.
I know that's stupid, can't shake the thought.

Klaus

You're not overly concerned at the prospect of losing Özil for six weeks?

y va marquer

I was talking about being concerned by the nature of the injuries and the recovery time, as opposed to talking in terms of the impact of being without the injured players.
For sure we're going to miss Özil.

Klaus

Sorry, I misunderstood your post. 🙂

My heart keeps sinking every time I click on this thread. We knew it was going to be difficult without our biggest goal threats in the squad, but all of a sudden it looks like none of our most important attacking players will be available for the most hellish fixture run we've faced in years.

Kurtz

This is why there should be few departures this summer. We have a small squad as it is. Only absolute deadwood like Park, Bendtner should leave. Sagna, Fabianski etc should be retained and 4-6 players should be added (so 4 players plus Sagna/Fab replacements if those two leave).

Klaus

Can't retain employees when their contracts end. Slavery is frowned upon nowadays unfortunately.

Unfortunately? :hmm:

Whats up with Sanogo? Seems he's an injury liability too, though it may be just him adapting to his new frame.

I'm not. He is a great player, but he has not played well the last 2,5 months. Of course we could have used him, but he's not a major loss right now. It's a lot worse to see that Ramsey is still not fit. We desperately need him back.

I think that's the hope as he already had injury concerns before we bought him.
