Arsenal are on their worst losing run for six years with back to back defeats against Barcelona, Man United and now Swansea, all in the space of eight miserable days. This is supposed to be the time of the season when Wenger gets all his injured players back and everyone is on form, and the team goes on a scintillating run to finish in the top four.
But now the opposite is happening. We lost Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain against Barcelona, then we got told there were setbacks to Cazorla and Wilshere, and now both Laurent Koscielny and Petr Cech have been ruled out of the Tottenham game this weekend with calf problems to mess up our defensive strengths.
Wenger said after last nights defeat to Swansea: “{Petr Cech} He struggled. He had a little groin problem before the game and I think he struggled a little bit tonight. He will not play on Saturday.”
He was then asked how serious Cech’s injury is, and he replied: “I don’t know, we have to see. It’s a muscular problem, a calf problem and I don’t know how long he will be out for. {Laurent Koscielny} has a calf problem as well. He will not play on Saturday.”
The most annoying thing is that those two were the players that were NOT out of form! Now we are forced to have Mertesacker and Gabriel (our worst defenders) as the centre-back partnership in front of David Ospina. In our most important game of the season.
Be worried, be very very worried…..
