Injury update on Andrey Arshavin
There should be a slight cause for concern once the merriment over Sunday settles.
Match winner Andrey Arshavin limped off in the late stages of the Liverpool victory to be replaced by Aaron Ramsey.
That worry was masked by the Russian’s brilliant contribution which clinched a superb result at Anfield, but despite admitting being in pain, Arshavin has positive news about his condition ahead of the midweek visit to Burnley.
The 28-year-old is yet to face a fitness test but is confident of making the trip to Turf Moor on Wednesday despite revealing having a chronic problem with his foot.
“When I struck the ball at that moment, the pain worsened.” Arshavin said
“Yes, this injury has been bothering me for a while.
The instep of my foot has been causing me pain for a long time, but I want and I will play in the next game. If you came on the pitch – endure and play.”
i hope he will play we cant lose him too :
He’ll only make it worse.
Rest him against Burnley, bring him back against Hull or Villa.
Play Eduardo up top tomorrow. A midfield of Song, Fab, Denilson, Diaby and Nasri should be able to create chances for Eduardo. The ball might stick a bit more this time.
denilson is injured dumas
man all five feet and six inches of this little Russian are more tough than bulkiest North Englander in the EPL…i wonder if he’s scored a goal yet without a hurt, damaged, or stitched up foot
Arsh…injur’d? No way nver sy die thts a must trvl 2tur-moor,talent spotters by arse..fun
I hope Arshavin will play for us we can’t afford to lose him in our hot race
Yeah really but i think a rest ll do hin good and try gettin eddy back to form against burnley
I know burnley is a very tough place to play. But we still have the quality in us to beat them comfortably, burnley have not won their last 3 games there, so i think arshavin must be rested and he will come back and score a hat-trick this weekend!!
Rest A.A and bring him bk to play Hull and Villa pls. Let see wht eddy will do…
“endure and play.” damnit … AA is the russian tiger! suck it up and play – thatt’s the blue collar attitude this squad needs to cultivate. gotta love that man.
but i’d rest him or give no more than 45 mins. he has to stay healthy the rest of the season.
Rset Arshavin and Fabrigas for Burnley.
Also Denilson is out so bring in Eduardo, Ramsay and Diaby. (Its a squad game)
these russian lads are tough but its a bit silly playing through an injury! a rest would do him good!!
I think is better for arsene to rest him and use him sub
