Arsenal's injury curse continues as Bendtner is ruled out for a month
Bendtner back on the treatment table
Arsenal demolished Tottenham today and there could be nothing but positives to be gained from the game and the result, but yet again Arsenal have lost a player for a month.
Nicklas Bendtner started the game in confident mood along with the rest of the team, but after just 37 minutes he had to go off with a groin injury.
Bendtner said today that he expects to be the Premiership top scorer “within five years”, but he missed his best early chance by shooting wide, and his chances of scoring more in the next four weeks went out the window when he went down with a groin injury.
Arsene Wenger admitted he was worried after the game.
“It was a serious one and we go into a period where you need all your players. It’s a shame that we lost him today and I am quite scared that he will be out for a while. It is a groin injury and I am scared it could be three or four weeks.”
The good news was that Eduardo was fit enough to replace Bendtner this afternoon, although he looked like he lacked some sharpness.
But an hours worth of play today will have helped him, and although Samir Nasri also looked exhausted in the second half, having these two closer to full fitness will more than make up for Bendtner’s absence.

Samir didn’t play today
Renan you’re another example of Gooner idiot. First half he sucked, but he owned the midfield in the 2nd. I am willing to gamble on with him.
Nasri was not risked for the meat grinding, double DM leg crusher tactics desperate Harry predictably deployed.
If they had Modric and Defoe, we would have won 4-2 instead.
If we had Nasri and Rosicky, 5-2.
