Most likely ...

Daz

Surely not?

According to Twitter Wenger has said he's not injured in his press conference.

The only slight interest I have in whether Diaby's injured or not is because it might contribute, however minutely, to Wenger's desire to bring in another midfielder.

We need to part ways and move on. Hopefully his contract is up next summer.

Clrnc

Agree with that, I have alot of time for someone of his talent and plenty of sympathy of what he have to go through, but surely we have to say goodbye and move on. One more year and he will be waiting for his testimonial ffs.

Still mindboggling when I heard Wenger saying he is the biggest talent he has ever worked with. So many France managers who worked with him rate him very highly as well.

Anyone who's ever worked with Diaby thinks highly of him. Bloke is so good at football.

Biggus

When I saw him play for us first I thought he was the real deal too, successor to Vieira and all that.
So much potential and he won our hearts.

Real shame......

This is not an injury factoid per se, but it is a recovery one:

Mert, Özil and Podolski aren't rejoining the campaign until 11 August and won't start the season.

Timbob

Kos and Chambers at centre half for Palace then.

bayern's german players played for them today. wonder why they didnt get an extended break?

MistaT

Yeah, I'm a little confused as Podolski and Mertesacker didn't end up playing that many games either. So is it that the training was intense, or that everyone just needs a few months off here and there?

Nela

Well I'm pretty sure they're guaranteed a certain amount of weeks off, like normal people. And rightly so.

Remember, unlike the Bayern players, our German player don't get any rest at Christmas. And the Premier League season is longer than most other leagues.

If anything, I'm surprised by how little time off football players get between season. 3-4 weeks seems really little when they're playing a very physical game, playing through injuries...etc. And then straight into really demanding pre-season training. What's it like in other team sports?

flobaba

It was a WC year Nels. Their breaks are usually about 3 months, between May and August.

Clrnc

Wenger says FIFA rules state that we must give them at least 30 days off, so they will only be back on 14 August. We have no choice.

Klaus

That means they won't be ready to play until september, and won't be match fit for another two or three weeks after that. And yet people want to sell the little cover we have in the squad.

Is that consecutive days off? because that doesn't explain why the other German players are back with their teams.

Clrnc

Yes, minimum of a month.

Not sure why the other German players are with their teams. That's weird. Must be voluntary cutting their hols short?

Big Willie

Apparently Wenger said Walcott should be playing again by the end of the month in the press conference today.

Rohit

He will join full training by the end of the month is what Wenger said, isn't it?
