Heās out for 3 weeks
Hamstring?
Yeah, hamstring strain. Wenger said āthat means heāll have a nice Christmasā
Finally got a decent CB pairing and then this happens. So frustrating.
If its just a strain then he should be back after the festive period, so we will have to cope 4 or 5 games without him.
Should be able to cope without him for 3 weeks and hopefully heāll be well rested when he returns. It is a bit of a shame though as weāve got some massive games coming up that I donāt want to see Gabriel throw away for us.
Just pray Wenger starts Holding and not Gabriel. Fear he will go with the more senior player, though.
Weird that he gets a hammy injury after not playing mid-week.
Fuckā¦
3 weeks. Lol
worst timing ever. DAMN IT!!!
FFS. Really good pass to Bellerin as well.
Per or Holding please.
3 weeks is not bad and it might be good for him to get some form of āwinter breakā.
Hopefully Holding, Gabriel and Mertesacker can tide us over.
Holy shit, totally forgot about Mertesacker.
Isnāt Per out until January ?
Such a shame about the injury. Most of our fixtures during this time are manageable, although Kos/Gabby lineup can be a little suspect from time to time.
Mustafiās played so much of the season, he was probably due a bit of a rest bite. As long as we donāt pick up any other injuries at the back, I think we can just about manage in his absence, though certainly a big blow for our next two away games, he wouldāve been hugely important.
At least by New Year he should be back and Per is not far away from returning either, so weāll be bolstered in numbers soon enough.
Interesting, Iād start Gabriel over Holding all day long given current form and the continuity factor.
Holding has PNE away coming up in the FA Cup
I had a dream where he actually was subbed back on during the same game against Stoke, because he was
feeling alright actuallyā O.o. I didnāt realize that Iād only dreamed it and it wasnāt true till I came on the net this morning.
Itās just a standard three week hamstring job, we have players who can cover. Itās the kind of thing you need to be able to deal with in a season if you have designs on being successful.
Agreed. And therein lies the problem
Nah but in fairness Iām confident in either Gabriel or Holding to do a job for a couple of games.
