Arsenal Injuries

On this page, we will list the current Arsenal injuries in the first team squad.

1. Lukasz Fabianski
Position: GK
Injury: Shoulder
Ruled out for the season in February of 2010. Injured shoulder in training. Underwent surgery in Germany. Hopeful to return early next season.

Also, take a look at the data from PhysioRoom.com Ltd below.

Gervinho transfer to Arsenal?

Gervinho is a footballer from the Ivory Coast who plays as an attacker for the French club Lille.

The 24 year old scored 15 goals for Lille in the last season and has said in the past that he wants to play in the Champions League and particularly in Arsenal. Tottenham, Everton and Newcastle were also interested in the player. The price is listed at about 10 million.

Will Gervinho transfer to Arsenal? It seems likely at this point. It is rumoured that Arsenal had a bid of about 8 million rejected in the January transfer window so the current situation will depend on how much Wenger is prepared to offer for the player.

Fabregas transfer to Barcelona?

Cesc Fabregas is Arsenal's captain and arguably best player. Already a European and world champion at a young age, he spent his teenage years as a Barcelona player before signing for Arsenal. And while he loves Arsenal, there is no question his heart is set on being a Barca player at some point in the future. And he will be. But will it happen this summer?

There are many factors that will influence whether the transfer occurs in the next month or two. It is clear that Wenger would understandably like to keep his prize asset at the club but he knows that keeping an unhappy player in the squad could be detrimental. Cesc owes a great deal to Wenger and Arsenal and it is unlikely he would hold the club to ransom.

Another factor is whether Barcelona can (and want to) match the asking price set by the Gunners believed to be at about 40 million. Things haven't been as rosy financially as they have been on the pitch for the Catalans who have gone against past tradition in getting a shirt sponsor for the first time in history due to fiscal constraints. Does Wenger have a replacement in mind for the skipper? Can any Barcelona player be realistically used in a part exchange deal?

I think the chances of a summer transfer to Barcelona for Fabregas are about 50%. Regardless of what happens, it is important that decisions are made early so that we have time to not only replace any players leaving but improve the football squad.

Arsenal Transfer Rumours

It's silly season. And as you know, there will be a lot of rumours flying around about players Arsenal might be interested in. Most of them will be false. Some may be true.

Christopher Samba transfer to Arsenal?

Christopher Samba is a 27 year old Congolese defender who is currently the captain of Blackburn Rovers.

It is rumoured that Arsenal tried to sign him in the January transfer window but the deal fell through.

Samba is in many ways what Arsenal lack in the defensive department. He is big. Tall. And loud.

We think the player would be keen on the move and would cost about 8-12 million.

Will Christopher Samba sign for Arsenal? It seems likely at this time. chances are probably over 50%. Arsenal need defensive quality and Samba would offer that to a certain extent.

Unless Cahill or another defender are being lined up by Wenger, it is very realistic Samba will be wearing the Red and White jersey next season.

Win the new Arsenal Jersey.

Eden Hazard transfer to Arsenal?

Eden Hazard is a 20 year old midfielder who plays for Lille in the French Ligue 1.

An obvious talent from a young age, many big clubs have shown interest in Hazard including Real Madrid, Manchester City and Arsenal. Unlike many players at his age, he would be competing for a first team place for the Gunners immediately should a transfer occur.

Hazard has mentioned in the past that he would like to move to Arsenal. It is also known that Wenger admires the youngsters potential. He hinted at a possibility of transfer activity for the player:

"We are following Hazard. Personally I think he has real talent and the level needed to play at Arsenal."

Is Eden Hazard on his way to Arsenal?

The kid has undoubted quality and would bring something new to the Arsenal team. There is interest from both sides. His price (likely about 20 million), with other clubs also involved, and the congestion of the Arsenal midfield positions means the transfer will most likely depend on the futures of Fabregas and Nasri.
