Cesc And Walcott Ruled Out!

Arsene Wenger expects key Arsenal duo Cesc Fabregas and Theo Walcott to be sidelined for around 10 days.

Fabregas aggravated a hamstring problem after coming on as a substitute to inspire the Gunners to a 3-0 victory over Aston Villa on Sunday.

Wenger’s captain was taken off after a decisive 27-minute cameo but it was initially unclear whether he would be ruled out for just a few days or a number of weeks.

The Spain international midfielder was not fit enough to feature against Portsmouth and Wenger has now confirmed he will also miss the FA Cup clash with West Ham and the Premier League match at home to Bolton next Wednesday.

Question mark

Fabregas could then return for the visit of Everton to Emirates Stadium on 9th January.

Walcott might also make his return to action in the same match after missing the 4-1 success at Pompey in midweek.

The England winger, who has not been able to put together a run of consecutive appearances this season, is struggling with a side injury.

“Let’s say the only question mark we have is does Cesc make Everton or not,” said Wenger.

“Walcott is a ripped muscle and about the same, 10 to 12 days.”

    The question has been asked many times before, what is the cause of the muscle and ligament injuries Arsenal players seem to suffer? Is it their style of play or their trainig methods or is it something else?
    I don`t have the stats but it seems many happen at home.
    Some years ago players almost dreaded playing on the Wembley turf and there were many ankle problems. Is this the case at Emirates, is it the playing surface?
