An Arsenal injury update that is largely very good news!!

Photobucket

Danish striker Nicklas Bendtner is looking forward to crossing his name off of Arsenal's injured list in the coming weeks.

"Now I am ready [to train]," Bendtner says.

"Some of the boys have time off because of their internationals, but otherwise I train together with the other first-team players at Arsenal and I have enjoyed myself so much. "I have no pain in the groin and have trained so hard physically that maybe I am in my best shape ever.

"I need only a couple of reserve team matches to be quite sharp in football terms. It is my hope that I can be with the first team in 14 days.

 

Captain Cesc Fabregas' return for last Sunday's Chelsea match was estimated at a 50-50 chance by the Arsenal boss, who eventually decided Cesc needed more recovery time.  Now, it looks as though a recovery from the hamstring injury Cesc suffered during a freak goal at Sunderland will be resolved for his participation in Arsenal's Oct 16th match-up against Birmingham.  On October 5th Cesc tweeted "I'm fit and training with the team. If the game was today i could have played, but it was 2 days too short and didnt want to take a gamble."  Despite a disappointing 2-0 loss to Chelsea, Arsenal fans will likely agree that a healthy Fabregas going forward was worth the wait.

Although International breaks tend to strike fear into the heart of many club fans, this week off seems to be providing well-timed rest & recuperation, at least for Arsenal's ailed.  Theo Walcott is up and running again after an ankle injury he picked up on International duty.  He's targetted a return for the Gunner's late October Man City clash, but could find himself eligable, alongside Fabregas & Bendtner, for the Birmingham match.  Keeper Manuel Almunia is also expected to be match fit for the date, but it remains to be seen if he will start in goal over the newly redeemed Fabianski.  Kieran Gibbs is expected to be healthy to participate in the coming weeks as well!

There is, however, a bit of bad news.  Robin van Persie's recovery is not yet over.  As of now he's predicted to be match fit some weeks away at the start of November, but it would not be too surprising if his return date is pushed back further.  Thomas Vermaelen's recovery from his achiles injury will be an even longer process, sadly for both Arsenal and my Fantasy Football teams.  It is not yet known if he will require surgery, but Wegner is optomistic that he will not.

Lastly, on a happier note, Aaron Ramsey will be back soon!!  Wales' manager estimated he will be back to full training in 3 weeks.

How do you all feel about the returns?  How do you hope the long-term injured will fit into the new lineup?

Gunners rejoice, and pray for everyone to return from the International break injury free!  This is my first post here so if I've screwed up the LJ cut bear with me and I'll fix it

I remember when that happend (lolz!) but I didn't know about the Danish NT pantless incident. I got to serve him once in a store and he stood in front of me shirtless pretty much the whole time. NGL his legs are 83% better than his upper body. Wasn't very impressed

Yeah sorta. He gave me an autograph which was nice. He was there with his dad tho and all I could think about was the fact that I didn't have any confidence in him staying at Arsenal long term since his manager dad would push for a move elsewhere. May have been a bit harsh but it's what I was thinking. I suspect Azza will need comforting down the road...form an orderly queue ladies!

once he also stripped naked after being in a car accident and checked himself out in the middle of the street with what was left of his driver side mirror, supposedly to ensure he wasnt injured

Nope, you're not the only one even though it conflicts with Bensey. =p

From: [identity profile] agnes-wonka7.livejournal.com
yes, I know Bensey has plenty supporters!
though, I'd put Aaron with...anyone else! Samir Nasri maybe? ;)

Hee hee, I've seen Nasri/Ramsey, but I'm not convinced just yet. ;)

oh that's another popular pairing.
But, though I like Bensey and Fabpersie, I don't believe they're as good as Fabendtner. why? because, Nicky is blond, tall and a bad boy (or he used to be, idk) and Cesc is brunette, short and a good boy. I love the difference between them!
