Injury Watch

[Massa]

Depending on how we deal with Stoke (H), WBA (A), Swansea (A) & Napoli (H), we could be top of the league, top of our CL group, & through to the next round of the COC. By then we'll have Santi and Poldi and a full squad bar Rosicky/AOC.

True test of our resilience and if we're ready to be with the big boys. A bigger squad could've done a world of good for this period.

1 down 3 to go

Are we sticking to the colour code then? This is discrimination against those who are colour blind!

Podolski was starting last season, as was Arteta, as probably would have been Diaby if he'd stayed fit, Ox plays regularly for england and cazorla is one of our few world class players.

how many other teams are losing so many of their most important players?? credit to the quality we now suddenly find in this squad that it's not affecting results. not many teams can you take out 3-4 midfield starters including their best player and not see results stumble.

wilshere being fit, ramsey coming of age, giroud looking more settled than ever, ozil and flamini being brought in have all been major factors to our rejuvenation, options we perhaps didn't have last season.

We need Theo, Cazorla and Podolski back asap.

What's the eta on those guys?

[Zedie]

Ffs!

[Yago]

You gotta be kidding...

[Olympiakos1]

Gnabry's chance to shine. Hopefully he takes advantage.

[Snowkarl]

Let's have a throwback Arsenal line up with Bendtner on the right next weekend

Ryo is better.

[CynicalGooner]

Walcott being out is a huge blow for the Napoli game. AOC, Podolski, Cazorla and Walcott all out at the same time ffs

[DiamondGooner]

Didn't someone say Cazorla is back for Napoli?

If not play Gnarby again and we can have the same team which played against Stoke?

[Zenith]

You can add Fabianski to that list as well, picked up another injury in training.

This can't be a coincidence anymore.

According to transfermarkt he will return at the beginning of October, so with the Napoli game on the 1st of October with a bit of luck he could be back in time. I wouldn't count on it though.

Other injuries:
Rosicky: Mid October
Podolski: Mid November
Ox: Mid November
Diaby: Late December + likely setback = return somewhere between 2031 and 2032
Fabianski: Knock - no return date given so it could vary from a few days to a few weeks

[Zedie]

Im not even surprised anymore.
