Not exact matches
Today we had three players
return to the
squad in David Ospina, Laurent Koscielny and Mikel Arteta, but Santi Cazorla suffered a mystery illness before being taken off.
As for worrying about losing more, the players we shall have
to worry most about are Laurent Koscielny, who has been called up despite just
returning today, Olivier Giroud, who is a certain starter for France as Benzema has been omitted from the
squad, and even more worryingly Alexis Sanchez, who has two more World Cup Qualifiers
to play in South America.
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.
Now we also have the possibility of Carl Jenkinson
returning to the
squad as well, since Wenger
today ruled out selling him in this transfer window.
