Nelson will be back in 2-3 weeks I reckon. Posted he was fully training in the gym on his insta earlier this week so can’t be far off.
Injury Thread...It's Never Ending
Big Willie not too sure to be honest. Hear it quite often though.
Anyways physically he hit new levels and it’s elevated his game. Deffo one to keep.
He looked really good right before the injury. Made at least me reconsider his future at Arsenal.

lorddulaarsenal Would love if Nelson stays on! If its to end with us in the summer, I just want some final fireworks.
If he can play like he was they’ll be a new deal waiting for him. He’s probably the best cover we have for Saka
Can’t wait to see him play again.
I really hope he gets a new deal. He's hitting a new level, at long last.
Definitely. Seems a good fit for the way we play too.
Wenger used to bang on about players reaching a new level physically around his age. Looks like Reiss has seen that change. Had that not happened we’d be having a different conversation
lorddulaarsenal yep, but he also has some of that youthful swagger back that he'd lost.

I was never impressed by him earlier. Thought he looked like a youtube footballer. Inefficient showboat nonsense. But he looked really good this season before getting injured. Much more assured, efficient and he made quick decisions. Hope he gets another run in the team.
a month later

It's not sounding very good for Nketiah. We may have to further explore those false 9 setups with some kind of involvement from Smith-Rowe, Martinelli, and Trossard until Jesus is back. Hopefully this doesn't wobble us out of EL, and Jesus can hopefully put on the shirt in a fortnight or so.
Was ESR taken off due to injury? He looked ok in the celebrations
Nah he was fine. Played his 50mins or so.
Worried about Trossard and Nketiah though. We need them.
I dont think Tross will be long term. Probably tweaked something and they though it best not to chance it. And ESR i think was just pulled because he hasnt played in months and 50 mins was enough (he wasnt all that effective anyway, and look what happened when Nelson came on)
Yeah hope he makes a swift return
Hopefully back soon.
Fingers crossed. We really need at least one of him and Eddie (ideally both) back whilst Jesus is still out.
I pulled my groin two years ago and can honestly say it was one of the most frustrating injuries I've ever had to get over. It feels completely fine, until it doesn't and you can't run at all. Repeat to fade. Three times I went through that. That Trossard is expected to be back soon suggests it must really be a minor injury.
