As I live in the UK, today the news was released here that Arsenal's 3 top players; Robin Van Persie, Theo Walcott and captain Cesc Fabregas could all miss their 2nd Leg Champions League match against Barcelona at the Nou Camp.
Van Persie injured knee after scoring his goal against Birmingham on Sunday
Theo Walcott is suffering a strained ankle ligament, as am I, and is expected to be out for 3 weeks; missing the match against Barcelona, and a key match against Leyton Orient tomorrow night in the FA Cup. Robin Van Persie has injured his knee, even though it was expected to be a pulled hamstring. RVP injured himself in the League Cup defeat to Birmingham City on Sunday. He is out for 3 weeks and is definately out of Barcelona, unless a miracle happens. Cesc Fabregas, the captain and possibly the biggest loss, is out for atleast a week - meaning he will miss the FA Cup replay against Leyton Orient and "possibly" the match against his home club, Barcelona.
If we hear any more information on these 3 big injury blows, I will report it as soon as possible. How do you think this will affect the team? Leave a comment.
