Full Arsenal injury update ahead of QPR game – Walcott back
Arsenal need to put the draw with Wolves behind them and take all three points from the home match against QPR tomorrow, and the good news is that Theo Walcott has recovered from his illness and will be back in the team.
Arsene Wenger said yesterday: “Theo is OK [after his illness] and we have no new injuries from the Wolves game.”
He also reiterated that the full-backs, Bacary Sagna and Kieran Gibbs, will not be available for another four weeks when he said: “Bacary Sagna and Kieran Gibbs could be back first – maybe by late-January. After that, Jack Wilshere will be back.”
With Carl Jenkinson’s back problem taking longer than expected to heal and Andre Santos ankle problem, Wenger will yet again be using all four centre-backs to hold the back line in front of Wojciech Szczesny. Vito Mannone is still on the treatment table with a shoulder problem, but Fabianski should be ready to replace Almunia on the bench.
Other than that we know that Wilshere will be back in February, and ominously Wenger hasn’t made any mention of Abou Diaby since saying that he had another setback about a week ago.
But all-in-all, other than the ongoing full-back problem, Wenger should have a pretty full squad to choose from and will probably rotate a little from the Wolves game. But will Van Persie get another chance to break the record?

I think that Wenger should try some new combinations in the midfield…. Arteta has been consistent in his performance and has not rested much…… so i think he should be rested to play the game against Fulham….
And why isn’t there any news about Diaby????

gonna b a tough match aganist qpr, heider hegulson got 11 goals to his name give or take, and tarabt back with a bit of a blast, qpr like upsets and equalising goals at the wrong time (for the oppostion that is) they nearly beat man shitty and they beat chelsea as well. we need everyone firing on all cylinders and get 3 pts, we cannot allow any team to pass us to the top 4.

i really hope AW signs a full back now and not at end of Jan when we have dropped more points
Maybe you all remember how long it took to sign Arshavin and also the late signings this season

@Admin, don’t know if its just me but I cant read half of the articles because they are covered by the comments. The page looks a bit messed up because the comments section has moved up to cover half the article.
