Yea that's a nightmare. It can be the type of thing that you can play with but grumbles if you play too much and limits quad strength. Santa had it in his groin, and Kos in his Achilles.

Still managed to deliver all those presents though, respect.

Also Sanga had it. Santa is a trooper though, rarely complains.

Ahh Sagna, thought you were talking about Santi. Probably best to deal with it early on anyway by the sounds of it, no point pushing him through the season at less than 100%.

Exactly we pushed Kos to the point his Achilles slowly degraded enough that the whole tendon just snapped. And he missed the chance to captain France to the WC win as result and a year of rehab and never being the same.

What is going on with Aubameyang and Lacazette? Both already ruled out for chelsea. Situation is absurd.

It's the same situation as Saliba Guendouzi, and Ozil Sokratis Mustafi.

Maybe they were mean to Xhaka in training

Just another day at Farcenal.

Qwiss

Give it a few days and the club will leak some smears about them.

Burnwinter

This situation can't really continue without turning into a storm in the media by around the end of the window.

BWooley

Wonder why he didn't just come out and say last week that they tested positive for Covid? Could it be that they had one positive test and were being re-tested to confirm and hence, he didn't say it?

Don Pacifico

Arteta's basically said he didn't mention it for medical privacy reasons. Seems odd tbh but it is what it is.

Sounds like Laca is not in a good way.

Maybe I'm being unfair but at this point, I kinda feel like they're being a bit irresponsible if they're catching COVID. Appreciate infection rate in the UK is relatively high but if your job depends on your physical state, is it unreasonable to take a few precautions? Maybe they were just unlucky, I don't know that's my gut reaction.

est

Could have got it from a family member for example. You can't take enough precautions against things like this. I do wonder whether they were vaccinated or not.

There's a part of me that still thinks this is just a convenient excuse for not involving them. Arteta's smirking reaction to a question about their 'illness' doesn't seem appropriate at all if this is real.

jones

Yeah his reaction was definitely odd. If it's for medical privacy reasons why does the club come out now and say it?

Vaccination doesn't keep you 100% safe anyway. An acquaintance of mine was fully vaccinated with Biontech/Pfizer and not only caught an infection but was close to getting hospitalised recently, while many who aren't vaccinated catch it not even realising it.

Coombs

Really don't think there's much of anything to see here. They got COVID and couldn't play, Arteta waited until he got the green light to disclose that information. It's the simplest answer.

For all we know they could have got it at the club.

Captain

The main place to catch it is in supermarkets.

Captain

The relevance being that anyone can get it, no matter how careful they are.

It's supermarkets, followed by primary school, then secondary school (obviously those last two have no impact right now).

Captain

For full disclosure, that nugget comes from the head of infectious diseases at UCL.

Don Pacifico

Interesting, thanks mate.

Have to agree with Captain. Having been feeling under the weather last few days I've literally just had a postivite covid test result come back today for myself. And I haven't been out of the house other than to do groceries for months now.

After almost two years I thought I managed to survive without catching it, but in the end it caught up with me.
