Arsene Wenger’s first injury update ahead of Liverpool, “We have problems with many players”

Submitted by Jeffrey on December 11, 2009 – 4:00 20 Comments

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger provided his first injury update ahead of the crucial game, at Anfield, against Liverpool.

Emmanuel Eboue, Tomas Rosicky and Nicklas Bendtner are sure absentees but all other players should be fit to start, albeit minor knocks.

The Frenchman said:

We have problems with many players. If you look at the players who started the game Stoke certainly Eboue and Rosicky will miss this game. Everybody else should make it.

There are little knocks and bruises here and there. Who could come back? Eduardo and Diaby maybe could make the squad. That is the news we have at the moment.

Gallas, Traore are still doubts but I think they will make it. Fabregas has a back problem and Arshavin has got a bruised foot too but I think they will make it too.

    Hope all those called to play on sunday will know the word °Do or die° coz we have to win at all cost. Lets try to shoot from the edge if they give us space to shoDenilson But not many. Lets play to win! Love you arsenal

  • Gun man says:

    You have a point Mbuya, we sometimes pass the ball way too much around the box we need to take more shots like denilson does not try to pass until we walk the goal into goal. O and wenger really must buy atleast 4 players in da transfer window we’re in our worst injury crisis ever,and he has the nerve to say that he MIGHT buy a striker? Don’t get me wrong AW is our best ever manager and one of the greatest in football because of his knowlegdge, instinct,trust in his players, and his stubborness, but any great manager would realise that at the current situation we’re in, he would or should be buyin atleast 3 or 4. We definately need a goalkeeper,especially a worldclass one for games like these,coz how many times has Almunia flopped and cost us a victory. We need to buy Lloris from Lyon. Mertesacker he’s a big tall no nonsense defender, khedira from Stuggart a cdm, and a striker maybe Podolski, Gignac, Toni, Palvenchenko(tottem hotspur russian dude), Huntelaar, and what about Farfan from schalke.

  • Jayz says:

    I pray all these players will be fit for that crusial match against liverpool so dat we can add to their nemesies

  • summer breez says:

    Not to bad we still can do it i think providing we score and keep a clean sheet but how do i pick i think i would go with
    ————————————–{Alumunia}—————————————
    ——-Sanga—————silvester————-vermalen————senderos—-
    1———————————Danilson————Song———————————
    2————————walcot – ———–song———–nasri—————–
    ———————————————–fabergas————————————–
    ——————–nasri—————archivan————-ramsy———————
    Wounder if archivan can interchange with faber gas but it lives us short for mid play tactic on 2 if they can create a wall castling and from there we bombard Liverpool how good can he defend with diaby if he is fit replacing sanderos we should have fast movement i think it should work
    Marida and galas and vela but we need fast tactic movement to dazzle Liverpool in forcing them into a mistake remembering have to close in on the spinyard with his passé ben ayoon and kyet with gerad so we need to block the runes and the midfield with nasri faber and ramsy accurate passes we can hammer them well but they must be up and running to play and have arsen with a few tactical manoeuvres but all have to adhere to plan we have good players lets play around with goals from archivan ramsy walcot faber and a cracker from good all nasri for the naser come on let us load the life ammunition and bombard the hell of Liverpool and the rest of them we had a good feel for it we play nice now we have to act viciously all together now all together now let us support our team come on let us all be together now for the love of arsenal our beloved gun and fire life ammunition

    • Gary says:

      How can u play Senderos at LB he has no pace he would be slaughtered,i think we should play Fabianski,Sagna Gallas Vermaelen Silvestre(more experienced),Denilson Song Fabs,Nasri Arsh Walcott(pace to burn to stop there FB attacking).If we play 4-3-3 we can beat them but we must have guile of Arsh,Fabs,Nasri and pace of Walcott to get into them.If Diaby fit plus Vela Ramsey Eddu we would have a strong impact bench to call on……….Come on you Gunners……

  • Deen nigeria says:

    This is too shocking ,we need players. I know by d grace of God we wil have players on sunday to play but d fact remains some player like fabregas arshavin need a rest.At least if there was a sub 4 fabregas he would never have a back problem ,i just hope fab doesn’t join d train of longterm injuries còz if that hapens we are finished

  • Akinyele Paul says:

    We need to win this match,pls i want to shoot from far because i think that what can help us to win the match instead of playing into thier defence.

  • Alkali says:

    I dnt lik what wenger is doing even a blind man knows dat arsenal need a striker. And dat striker has 2 come 4rom english league. Specifically Agbolahor.

  • Damn_Gallas says:

    Damn I got a bad feeling on Sunday… We will lose the match if Arshavin and Fabregas miss that match. We will lose too if Diaby plays.

    I would be delighted, based on the amount of injuries our squad currently have, if wenger plays Almunia in goal, Sagna as RB, Gallas and Vermaelen as the CBs, Silvestre as a LB.

    Song and Denilson as the holding midfielder and Fabregas as the creative playmaker.

    Upfront would be Walcott on the right, Arshavin as the main attacker and Nasri on the left.

    If walcott could not make it, then I would bring in Ramsey or Diaby to play in his role. Otherwise, Vela would play on the left and Nasri on the right. Merida is another player that I would definitely consider playing if need be. Wilshere too.

    I would have no problems if wenger decides to play walcott as the main striker too.

    The reason i play silvestre ahead of traore in the LB berth is because, I think that silvestre is more experience. Furthermore, he has improve alot from last season. He has more urgency now in his play. Whereas traore, I just dont feel safe when he plays.

    this team will beat Pool – lets hope Ash can do it again as he does in big games

  • Kingsalami says:

    summer breez: Nice line up.

    A couple of minor problems, you have picked 14 outfield players and Nasri twice, unless a small rule change regarding the amount of players one can field and Nasri has a twin brother has passed me by, then all sounds great.

  • Gary says:

    We keep saying we need a big striker why dont we go for Heskey he is the best CF in the country and he is not cup-tied also he would not cost a lot,he needs to sign for someone in Jan as he needs more playing time for W.cup,its no good saying C.Cole Pavlechenco they will cost too much,AW only needs another option while Van is missing,Heskey would jump at the chance to play in Europe for us,i think he would also get some goals for us.

  • mr_potato72 says:

    maybe we need new physiotherapy,not the new player

  • True gunner says:

    we need a full strength side…liverpool’s gonna turn up with torres n aquillani too…wat r we gonna do….i am TERIBBLY missing van persie!!!

  • Torres says:

    Its nice to see so many worried Gunners….with Torres/Carra/Johnson/Aquillina all fresh and fit,then I only see 1 result.3-0 to the pool
