F**king Hell More Injuries! 14 February, 2008

I’m sorry but this just isn’t happening, is it? This can’t be for real. I can only laugh now. Wenger’s revealed three new injured players today to take our injury situation to something quite extraordinary. Clichy, Senderos, Sagna and Walcott are the new one’s to add to the list, which now looks like this:

1. Lehmann – fit
2. Diaby – calf problem
3. Sagna – out for personal reasons
4. Fabregas – fit
5. Toure – fit
6. Senderos – thigh and knee problems
7. Rosicky – hamstring
9. Eduardo – fit
10. Gallas – fit
11. van Persie – thigh
13. Hleb – fit
15. Denilson – hamstring
16. Flamini – fit
17. Song – injured in ANC Final
19. Gilberto – fit
20. Djourou – groin problem
21. Fabianski – fit
22. Clichy – hamstring and knee problem
24. Almunia – thumb/ill
25. Adebayor – fit
26. Bendtner – fit
27. Eboue – fit
30. Traore – fit
31. Hoyte – fit
32. Walcott – thigh problem

Incredible. We were probably going to field a weakened side in Manchester this weekend but it looks like we don t really have a choice who we can play. At the moment the first 11 looks too me something like Lehmann, Hoyte, Gallas, Toure, Traore, Eboue, Flamini, Fabregas, Hleb, Eduardo, Bendtner. The weird thing is that’s still not a bad side; yes the wing backs are reserve players but everywhere else we’ve got some good players. Not saying that Traore and Hoyte aren’t good, they are, but Sagna and Clichy are a different class.

Anyway, I’ll talk about the game properly tomorrow afternoon in the match preview. There’s not a lot of news around. Diaby‘s been talking about the FA Cup game. Also Clichy has been thinking about getting his first France cap.

Right I’m knackered and these new injuries have pissed me off just a little bit. I’ll speak to you tomorrow.
