Arsenal’s injury problems have continued to spiral out of control. In the last two days Mesut Ozil has been ruled out for 3 months and now Laurent Koscielny has been sent home by the France national squad.
Koscielny has complained about ankle pain in the past, and FranceFootball say he is suffering from chronic tendinitis of both Achilles tendons. It seems like this is an issue which the player can play through in the short term, but in the long term there could be a big problem. Other people in the UK have been able to find natural pain relief options (like those using CBD Oil UK: https://blessedcbd.co.uk, to name one example), but acceptance in the sporting world is still a new process. Blessed CBD, and other CBD oil makers, are able to have their products used by footballers nowadays, so perhaps this pain could be treated in part with a product like this?
Regardless, Per Mertesacker and Nacho Monreal are the only senior Arsenal defenders that are not out on international duty at the moment. Calum Chambers and Kieran Gibbs are set to start for England tonight, and that will make Arsenal fans extremely nervous.
It looks like Arsene Wenger may well have to sign a free agent, or even an emergency loan. It’s ridiculous that it has got to this situation but what can we do now!
Perhaps Carl Jenkinson will have to be re-called, if that is an option in the loan contract agreed with West Ham.
