Wenger on Koscielny, injuries and ‘tough’ Tottenham

Arsenal are getting ready to face our age-old rivals Tottenham Hotspurs on Sunday, but we have a current injury list of ten players and there is only one of those that has any hope of being back for the North London Derby.

Wenger said this morning: “I’m very concerned. Because we are only in November and we have so many players out. We go into the Christmas period and I am concerned.

“Because we have too many players out. I give Koscielny 80 per cent. He will have a test tomorrow.”

Le Prof also told us that Hector Bellerin would definitely NOT be playing against Spurs. “We might have Laurent Koscielny back but Hector Bellerin won’t be available.

“From one competition to the other. I believe in the Premier League we have a strong confidence and we want to reproduce it on Sunday against Tottenham.”

“They are a side that are strong defensively and can play at a a high pace in a committed way.

“They have done well. They have lost only one game. They have a few draws.

“They have always in my memory had strong teams. It will be a tough opponent just like every year.”

And just like every year, Arsenal will come out on top! We may have loads of injuries, but once we have limped to an easy win on Sunday, we will get the blessing of an international break, which should see a good proportion of our crocks coming back.

We may be wounded, but our superiority complex will get us the three points on Sunday….

Onwards and Upwards!
