It has been a tipsy turbid run for Arsenal in the English Premier League 2014-15 season so far. Currently sitting on 6th spot in the Premier League table, inconsistency and injuries to key players is a major reason for such a difficult League campaign. When in the first part of the season Ozil, Rasmey, Koscielny and Giroud got injured for a long time, it ruined Wenger’s preparation of competing for the League title. And when these players finally returned to action in a superb win over Manchester City a fortnight ago, another setback was ready to dent Arsenal’s dugout. After new signing Danny Welbeck suffered a crucial injury which kept him on sidelines for more than 2 weeks, now Alexis Sanchez is a fresh victim of Arsenal’s injury ghost.
Now their top scorer of this campaign, Alexis Sanchez who has scored 12 goals already in the debut season since joining from La Liga Giants FC Barcelona, has fallen ill due to a hamstring injury. Ahead of the Saturday’s clash against bottom side Aston Villa, it’s a fresh injury scare for Arsene Wenger to face as Sanchez could miss this vital League game after a superb performance against the defending Premier League Champions.
Speaking in a pre-match conference, Arsene Wenger has this to say about his squad’s condition.
‘’ The squad will be exactly the same as last Sunday. The only uncertainty we have is Alexis Sanchez who has a hamstring concern, and that will be decided on Saturday He might be out for Sunday’’.
So it’s more likely that Arsenal will be without their offensive spearhead against Paul Lambert’s Villa. But looking at the form of Villains, the Gunners should be too strong for Villa this Saturday.
Injury concerns for Arsene Wenger ahead of Sunday’s clash against Aston Villa!
