Arsene Wenger’s injury update on Gael Clichy, Tomas Rosicky and Nicklas Bendtner ahead of AZ
On Tuesday, Arsene Wenger provided good and bad news when providing his usual injury bulletin update. As revealed last week, Nicklas Bendtner will be out for a long time and he will now be joined by Gael Clichy on the sidelines.
The Frenchman will be out for four weeks with a back injury with Kieran Gibbs taking his place as left back for the month of November. Fortunately, Tomas Rosicky is back and so is Armand Traore.
Ahead of the AZ game, Wenger said:
Bendtner is quite seriously injured. And on top of that, we have lost Gael Clichy with a back injury which was not expected.
It looks like he could be out for a while. We fear a stress fracture but we will know more of that tonight. But if that is the case, he will be out for a few weeks.
Nicklas we still do not know yet but we suspect four weeks. Rosicky will be in the squad tomorrow. He will still be short to start but he will be involved. The two goalkeepers will be Almunia, who will play, and Mannone.
Armand Traore has been injured but he is back in normal training on Thursday so he will be the solution as left back cover. Fortunately at this Club, we are gifted always with very good left backs.

Yes Mr. wenger just use your magic to win today`s game against AZ . I know our team is still good despite of some injuries. To day we must win to book a place in knockout stages
Monsieur Wenger, we believe in you so pls do not let us down. Do d things u do and we’ll knw wen its done.. Gudluck AW.
Of course Rosicky will be short to start !! He’ll be short at the end as well !
alex song has 4 yellow cards and needs to get booked against wolves and miss the sunderland game,if he doesnt and gets booked at sunderland he misses chelsea!!
RVP needs one more yellow card to get a ban in the champions league,best to play against standard liege and get one and miss olympiakos than wait and miss a knockout game.
mr wenger take note.
Good observation. I think the Manager should take this seriously
we have too win big this season to keep the big names
