This of course means that when those two return to the squad the only two long term injuries we will have left is Mathieu Debuchy, who was
hardly part of the first team squad anyway, and the little Spaniard Santo Cazorla, who Wenger also mentioned in today's team news as he looked chipper from his hospital bed after his
operation the
other day.
John Randall, the deputy, quit last night, apparently of his own choice, and
others — such as Nicky Morgan — were handed ministerial roles, but Downing Street's confirmation of a «beefing up» process was
hardly a positive assessment of the old
operation.
