Re: The Arsenal Injury Thread

[Raptorgunner]

Arsenal players suffered almost 900 injuries in 12 years - study

Arsenal players have sustained 890 injuries since August 2002, according to a report by PhysioRoom.com.

Injury update:

Debuchy
Arteta
Ramsey
Gnabry
Walcott
Giroud

[sportsczy]

Diaby injured again Wenger said he's "not ready" for Chelsea, whatever that means.

[MJ]

It means the same thing it meant when he rested him vs Galatasaray. He's fit but not match fit. You don't go from playing one Capital One Cup match in over 5 months to playing vs Chelsea at the bridge

[SamuelJayC]

This international break - providing we don't pick up any more injuries whilst the players are away with their countries - comes at a decent time.

Was good to see Monreal back on the bench v Chelsea. And hopefully Ramsey, Walcott & Arteta are back this month. It's a great shame Debuchy and Giroud are out until Christmas as we really could do with both of those right now, we only really have Chambers and Welbeck in their positions.

[Jay29]

Ozil will have an MRI scan in Germany on a potential knee injury.

[Sri]

Yay. More joy.

Second thoughts, though. We never wilfully want injuries, we have enough of them even otherwise. But actually, it's good for him if he spends some time away from the spotlight and constant scrutiny and repetitive shitty performances in our wonderful formation this year.

[MJ]

Would be even better if fans would get behind instead of constantly, on his back.

Hope it's nothing serious, this is just ridiculous.

[rwo power]

Unfortunately the news just got out at SSNHD - Mesut Özil will be sidelined for 3 months due to a part rupture of his outer knee ligament. ("Anriss des Außenbandes im linken Knie")

[Rev]

[RealGunner]

Are you kidding me

[rwo power]

Well, obviously he didn't get the injury at the NT, but he already arrived with this. Looks like you should fire your medical department at Arsenal, though, if they didn't notice the extent of the injury.

[RealGunner]

Yea lmao. Our medical department completely missed the injury but the German doctors could locate it in an instant. I find that hilarious

What revamp did we do this year which they talked about?

Pathetic

[MaraVilla]

worst medical department.period.

[EL Patron]

Ozil probably felt something on his knee against Chelsea but kept playing just like he did against Bayern munich last season when he picked up that hamstring injury. If the players can't look after themselves then it makes the medical departments job harder than it already is. The good thing about this is the idiots who constantly criticize Ozil and blame him for every bad results will see how average we look in attack without him.

[sportsczy]

you don't really feel much more than slight soreness with a slight ligament tear...  it's the full tear that kicks your arse.  It's the day after that you know something is wrong because it's getting worse, not better, when you have a tear.  Everyone is different of course.  But my guess is that Ozil felt he took a knock since he could keep moving.

Players can only verbalize their symptoms... it's up to the doctors to check for everything that could cause the symptoms until you find the cause.

And it had to have happened in the last game...  it's impossible for him to have had it happen before without him/doctors knowing since the symptoms get worse after a day and you can't move properly.  So yeah, he has his excuse for the Chelsea game whenever it happened.

[MJ]

Just a joke. There has to be something about the amount of mintues Wenger puts in our players, the training methods, warming up/down. There has to be SOMETHING there to be reformed. Five starters are out, we won't see three until the New Year.

And this is the case every year. Wow.

The Emirates built on some fvcking Native American burial grounds or something.

[MJ]

---------------Ospina
Debuchy--- --------- ---Monreal
----------Arteta---Ramsey
-----------------Özil
Walcott------Giroud-----Gnabry


Our injured XI will soon be better than our starting XI.

[Glory]

we are on the same boat.

contrary even our back ups are picking up injuries let alone first teamers.

still yea yours is comparatively worser. 3 months for ozil is definitely a blow. Commiserations. :

[VendettaRed07]

Honestly it doesn't matter who we buy anymore. With this medical staff we could have bill and Ted travel through time and collect a team of the greatest footballers from every time period in the prime of their careers and we still wouldn't win shit

[McAgger]

Injuries really haven't been kind to us, you, or United this season.

Could it be that whoever can stay the fittest might have the upper hand for 3rd and 4th?

The only silver lining for us is that our injuries always happen when our players are away from our training regime and medical department. Once internationals are over until March I'll breath easier.

[Twoism]

So this guarantee midget midfield from us then, Flamini- jack- Santi. In a bitter way, Wenger got it after all, fit all available midfield into the team.

Injury happened and this is one of few times I dont blame medical staff but Wenger who overplayed Ozil to the ground. Dude is paper weight and kept on field way too many full match.

Koscileny has been sent home... soreness in BOTH Achilles tendons (left and right foot). ffs

[Jay29]

He's had that for a while, I think. We've been nursing him through games.

Tonight, I'm expecting Gibbs to vanish into thin air, Wilshere's feet to fall off, Chamberlain hamstrings to explode and Welbeck to spontaneously combust.

Oh, and I can't wait for the inevitable Walcott setback stories to appear in the coming weeks.

[Raptorgunner]

Ozil’s injury history:
Schalke: Out for 7 days in total
Bremen: 29 days
Real Madrid: 0 days if I am not wrong?

Arsenal: 133 (incl. latest injury)

We can blame the medical team all we want but its the training and Wenger who sends them to the Medical staff to the point where nothing can be done.

Ozil played 270mins in 10 days, such poor management. There must be a proper investigation and not sure if Wenger would allow this.
