The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 at the upcoming weekend in the
Premier League...
Arsene Wenger has confirmed that Arsenal’s Spanish midfielder http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mikel-Arteta-c25715 might be set for a long term absence from the Gunners squad as his injury against Wigan has proven to be a serious one. Arsenal were dealt their latest
injury blow during their tie against Wigan, a match that they eventually lost thanks to a woeful display in the second half.
Wigan’s 2-1 win at the Emirates stadium came as a surprise to everyone but now Arsenal are set to take on Chelsea at the weekend. It remains to be seen whether or not Arteta will be fit enough to face the Blues who are themselves
involved in a mid-week UEFA Champions League semi-final fixture against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604.
Arsene Wenger has already stressed that his team need to win against Chelsea as their hopes of finishing in the top four teams of the Premier League might take a huge hit if they are unable to gain a positive result against the
London club. Wenger said, "He had to come off. It's an ankle problem. It looks quite a serious one. We have to scan it tomorrow; it's too early to say tonight. But it doesn't look like a little ankle sprain. It is a serious one."
He added, "We defended horrendously on the first and second goal, everyone included. On top of that, we conceded the second goal with 10 men on the pitch. It took us too much time to change, that was absolutely unbelievable. We
concede the first goal with Arteta out, and we can't even put the player on because he's not ready. When a player is injured, if he stays on the pitch you have time to bring [the sub] on. It was a misunderstanding, but the moment he walked off, [Aaron] Ramsey
was not ready. “
