Arsenal Injury Latest – Star to Return in December

League leaders Arsenal will face Cardiff tomorrow and will have the chance of going 7 points clear of Liverpool and Chelsea who have their matches on Sunday.
Cardiff fought hard against Manchester United last weekend and never gave up to earn a point in the final minutes of the game.
Arsene Wenger will be glad with the return of Theo Walcott and after two substitute appearances, the English winger might be ready to start this weekend.
As far as other injured stars are concerned, German international Lukas Podolski is doing well in training but according to manager Arsene Wenger the fans will be able to see him in the team in 3 weeks.
The Boss claimed:

“It will be three weeks until we could see him (Podolski) in the team.”

Already Arsene Wenger is facing selection dilemma because of that much quality depth in attacking positions. Surely, return of Podolski in the important month of December will give him more selection headaches.
Gunners are lacking depth in striking department and former Bayern Munich star can in fact help in that role too so it will double advantage for the North London side.
Other than Podolski, there is only one long term injury that is of Alex Oxlade Chamberlain who is expected to return next year according to Wenger.

Arsenal MUST offer contracts and keep hold of Rosicky and Sagna

Arsenal MUST offer contracts and keep hold of Rosicky and Sagna

Why Sagna and Rosicky deserve new contracts! by Ash
Every single year there is usually some controversy surrounding Arsenal and the trouble the club usually endures with contracts. In previous years there have been disputes from both Van Persie and Samir Nasri, whilst Ashley Cole is also a victim from the past. But so far in the past year at least Arsenal have had nothing but positive news regarding contract news.
The British core have all signed up, with 5 young gun Brits of Jenkinson, Gibbs, Wilshere, Ramsey and the Ox all signing up to new long term contracts. Theo Walcott also signed a new deal, whilst more recently Wojciech Szczesny has also joined the party.
With Per Mertesacker also expected to follow soon, the topic regarding current contracts is a good debate to have, and I think the main questions revolve around the respective future’s of Arsenal’s older players this time around.
Bacary Sagna, Tomas Rosicky and Mikel Arteta are all in the latter stages of their career, also not forgetting that Santi Cazorla and Per Mertesacker will also be soon hitting the big 3 0. However focusing on those that are over the age of thirty now, Wenger is well known for not offering the usual exclusive ‘long term contracts’ out to those coming towards the end of their professional days. He instead prefers to offer them a single one year contract, which is extended provided they manage to stay physically fit and on form.
Three players that fit this criteria without a doubt are three of the most important players within our squad. Arteta, Sagna and Rosicky all offer both experience and quality both on and off the pitch and they are therefore great leaders and models to have within a squad that needs experience to drive them to the title.
All their respective contracts will soon be coming to a close, most notably Sagna who has been one of the longest current serving players at Arsenal. Surely all of them deserve to be offered a contract longer than a single year because such a short contract gives the impression that a player is regarded as one of the less important ones.
This trio play an important role in the Arsenal squad and they deserve to win a trophy with the Gunners, especially Rosicky and Sagna who have been long term representatives of Arsenal when they could have possibly moved on by now. Have these experienced players still got a lot to offer the Gunners, and will they get the chance to?

The Arsenal centre-back praises his Germany international team-mate and believes that he has made "good progress" following his move from Real Madrid in the summer

The Arsenal centre-back praises his Germany international team-mate and believes that he has made "good progress" following his move from Real Madrid in the summer

Arsenal defender Per Mertesacker has backed team-mate Mesut Ozil to start banging in the goals soon, believing that he has made "good progress" since his summer arrival from Real Madrid.

Ozil became the Gunners' record purchase following his £40 million switch to the Emirates Stadium and has played a significant role in his side's terrific start to the season that sees them sitting at the top of the Premier League table.

Despite claiming six assists since September, the midfielder has hit the net just three times in 16 appearances and missed a penalty in Tuesday's Champions League victory over Marseille but Mertesacker is convinced that the goals will soon flow for his international compatriot.

"He has made good progress," the centre-back told the club's official website. "He is in good form and you can see that. Especially against Marseille he was always a threat and he never gave up after the penalty that he missed.

"We are very delighted with him, especially in the transition from defence to offence. He is the one who always goes deep all of the time.

"He gets himself into good positions so the goals will come, for sure. He moves well between the lines so it is always difficult to defend against him. When the centre back comes out with him, there is always space for others to move into.

"He helps us create more chances. We are playing well as a team and we should continue that in the Champions League and the Premier League."
