Wenger updates on Nasri, Fabianski out & Senderos still to decide
Arsene Wenger gave an update on the horrific news of Samir Nasri’s injury moments ago in his post-match interview following the preseason encounter with SC Columbia.
The French youngster was the bearer of bad news on a day Arsenal’s first team cruised 7-1 in Austria.
Wenger has revealed the extent of damage to Nasri’s leg may not be as bad as what was initially presumed and the 22-year-old could be back in as early as six weeks time.
“He was training well but was mistakenly kicked. His injury is a simple fracture of the fibula and not too serious. Nasri should be out for six weeks” He told Arsenal TV
The boss also revealed that Polish goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski will join Nasri on the sidelines. The 24-year-old was missing on Saturday and again today after completing a solid 2008/09 season.
Unfortunately, Fabianski will be out for a few weeks.
“Fabianski has a little ankle problem and should be sidelined until the beginning of the Emirates Cup”
According to Wenger, the future of Philippe Senderos – who played in a defensive midfield role today – remains unresolved but insists the Swiss defender is open to stay at Arsenal.
“It is open. He has come back here with us still looking for solutions but he is still yet to decide on his future”.
did senderos play gud at dm
He was as good as you’re imagining 😛
Senderos should stay, He is our only ball winning defender. Sell or release Silvestre instead.
re senderos: t’was the proverbial kiss off, the way wenger said he has options and he has to make a decision about his future. i thought that that is a leaner, meaner, credit crunched, just aint taking shit from you cry-baby traitors no more, wenger. i like, i like a lot. i like senderos dont get me wrong but it isnt difficult to see that like hleb and flamini they thought that the arsenal ship was sinking and tried to hop off, returning after the particularly bad season we had and expecting all to be hanky dory.
He must be shocked at just how much djourou and song have come on since he was here last. so either do some work with the reserves or its obscurity in the french league. choices buddy, choices.
