Nasri Sidelined For A Month

Tweet

Hope to See that Smile Soon!!!

Seems like you Gooners are not praying hard enough for the club early on. Continuous injuries to key players has proven to be our nemesis for so long now, and early season, when we haven’t come out of our shells yet, we have been hit by another one. Official sources have confirmed that Nasri requires a minor surgery for his knee injury that is definite to keep him out of action for a month. The Frenchman looked in good knick and in the absence of other stalwarts this definitely is a blow. 11 Gunners delves deeper into how Arsenal can counteract this most recent blow..

In his absence, Arsenal have to contend with premiership newboys Blackpool and a potentially tricky away fixture to Blackburn. No that the Blackpool game is a cakewalk, given that they netted four goals on the opening day. Nasri’s position will most likely be deputised for by Rosicky, altough I would personally prefer to see Arshavin drop in the hole behind Van persie and the impressive Marouane Chamakh. There should be no inhibitions about going full throttle against Blackpool, we definitely need to secure our first three points that day and looking at the team, attack seems the way to go.

The midfield should be bolstered by the return of Alex Song, if that happens. Wilshere has shown promise but will find it difficult to hold on to his first team place for now. However we hope he fights for it, at the end of the day it signals better fortunes for the club.

At the back, Johan Djourou will step in for the suspended Laurent Koscileny. Djourou’s tryst with injuries doesn’t really exude confidence and we feel that a new buy is more critical than ever, we just hope the Professor is paying attention to our worries!!!

For now, we hope this injury doesn’t keep him off for more than it ought to, and when he returns we shall have a packed”Arsenal” to unleash!!!
