Wenger - Sagna will miss Euro 2012


By Rob Kelly

Arsène Wenger says Bacary Sagna will miss Euro 2012 after fracturing his right fibula against Norwich.

The France international came off on a stretcher in the 33rd minute of Arsenal's 3-3 draw at Emirates Stadium on Saturday.

And Wenger says Sagna has fractured his fibula and will miss this summer's tournament in Ukraine and Poland.

"The season is over for him. He will not play in the Euros," he said. "It is the same leg [he fractured against Tottenham Hotspur in October]."

"It has not happened alone, he has been kicked on the leg. I don't know exactly what happened and will have to see it on the television again."

The fracture sustained on Saturday is a different injury and is higher in Bacary's fibula than the original injury suffered in October.

Bacary will see specialists over the next few days and developments will be updated on Arsenal.com in due course.

So unfortunate for Bac, he will miss the euros and most likely miss the start of the next season aswell...

Out of 24 penalties that we should have been awarded this season; we've been awarded 3.

Hope it isn't 6 months out and far less as I can't stand half a season with Jenkinson.

Gutted for him and for us, easily one of the best full-backs in the league. Here's hoping he makes a speedy recovery and is back before long - Jenkinson isn't good enough and I can't see us buying a new out-and-out right-back to replace Sagna in the short-term.

Now we need vertonghen so that kos can fill in at rb until sagna is fit. I don't want to see jenkinson or djourou starting games at the start of next season!!!

Yup. He has torn his already reconstructed up ankle ligaments. I expect him to be out long than what Wenger seems to be dishing out.

Really hope Mertesacker can make it to the Euros. He needs that playing time to get back to speed.
