Rosicky Doubt & Lehmann Expects Return

Real Arsenal news is very thin on the ground today.

Le Incredible Sulk will not be returning to Ashburton Grove this week as he picked up an injury in Frances’ last game. Bolton fans will be gutted about that. Rosicky looks like he may be a doubt for Arsenal and it has been revealed by Pavel Kolar (Czech Dr.) that Tomas’ consistent injuries may be as a result of a muscle imbalance. It is as frustrating for Tomas as it is for us fans, you can see he has the talent but every time he settles into the team he picks up a knock. Walcott wants his chance and is fit and playing for the Under-21s as I write this, rampaging up and down the right. The Irish certainly can’t handle him.

Lehmann expects to play!! I think he may be in for a shock, I can’t see Wenger dropping Manuel this time. I’d hate to be around to hear what Jens has to say when he’s told he’s on the bench, it will be cringe-worthy, it will also probably lead to Wenger being forced to get rid of the crazy German in January.

Still rumours fly around about Gilberto leaving, I feel the Brazilian is an integral part of the Arsenal squad. Sure Flamini has done a fantastic job filling in and Diaby is there too but Gilberto is captain of his national side and has the experience to lead Arsenal. He’s another big option for Wenger when Toure is at the African Nations. We’ll need a fit Gallas alongside one from Gilberto, Senderos, and Djourou to stand a chance of keeping pace at the top come January.

Young Traore revealed today he could have gone out on loan but prefers to keep on improving by staying at The Arsenal. I’m very glad he is still there to back up Clichy, I’m so impressed by Traore, he’s even better than Clichy at his age, Clichy’s place in the starting XI is safe for now on the back of some outstanding performances so far this season.

Goodnight Gooners
