Arsenal refuse to rule out Sagna surgery

A bad day gets even worse.

Arsenal have confirmed that Bacary Sagna will be out for three months after fracturing his fibula in a nasty fall at White Hart Lane. The French international has undergone a preliminary assessment this evening but will be visited by specialists on Monday.

The club have refused to rule out the player going under the knife, stating: “It is expected that Bacary will be out for approximately three months and a surgical procedure cannot be ruled out at this stage.”

As things stand 19-year-old Carl Jenkinson is the club’s first choice right-back; an amazing state of affairs given he spent much of last year on loan with Eastbourne Borough and Welling United in the Conference South.

Arseblog News wishes Bacary all the best with his recovery and passes on a heartfelt pat on the back to Carl. Give it your best shot, we’re behind you.

I read somewhere that Le Coq can play as a Right Back , I hope they play him there . Might turn out to be better than Sagna.

DrOctagon

Ok, this article is very badly written.

You lead with Arsenal not ruling out surgery, but include no quotes and don’t even explain the ramifications should Sagna indeed need to go under the knife.

Is it an extra 2 months out? 3? Seriously mate.

Smeer Na$ri (with shit)

heh

jacob

you gotta love the quality in our squad where our back up right back couldnt even get into a sunday team , arsene made arsenal great but hes also making arsenal rubbish

Wolfgang

So Sagna is out. Why is it the gunners are always plagued by a higher number of injuries compared to other teams?This has been going on for some years.An answer must be found asap otherwise every season find the gunners handicapped.

Master Bates

shit luck

Truegooner

Sagna’s injury was bad luck not our medical team’s fault. A collision with Assou-Ekotto and a clean break; not a bullshit muscle injury or hamstring tear.

I hope to God that le Coq can play at right back. I think a chair might be better that Jenkinson. He is NOT ready for this level.

Arsenal are plagued by injuries because the players don’t know how to defend. They are always making last ditch tackles, falling over each other or overstretching. There is no composure and no organisation; it’s easy to get injured when you’re always playing on the edge.

Scooter

Yeah you’re right Sagna doesn’t know how to defend, you probably know better than him and Arsene.

Yidoooooooooo

hope sangna makes a swift return,one of the few class players u have left

Why are people even rating your comments fuck off you cunt

I know another defeat does not mean Arsenal are a poor team. The trouble is if the gunners don’t win and win soon,they will be perpetual losers. Then what? I believe Wenger has taken the gunners to the pinnacle of his ability. His style of play is predictable. Wait for the gunners attack to break down and hit on the counter and most probably the chances of scoring will be good because the gunners will leave gaps for the opposition to play and shoot.This was what happened last night. I know it’s very early in the season but already the… Read more »

Four losses in seven games means we are a poor team. We have to pray that our players come back quick from injury and the team plays better than they actually can. I’m pessimistic; the talent just isn’t there and we’re not a “grind it out kind of team”. Kroenke must pull a drunken sailor in January or next August or we are finished.

Truegooner

The style of play is predictable because our team isn’t very good. Barcelona are predictable, but they are so good that it doesn’t matter. The style of play is fine, the talent isn’t.

I’m depressed.

Scooter

tldr

Frog

For fuck sake. Now our best player for the past three year is done? Jenkisnson? I do reckon we may be proper fucked. Good move though to sell eboue to that dodgy Turkish outfit. Hey maybe mertersaker can play rb, I mean shit, arsene had him playing centre forward today so why not. Fuck it

frog

hahah nice. i guess all we can do at this point is augh. we’re fucked for this year so lets just enjoy it. hopefully well be back next year.

jacob

our injuries compared to other teams isnt that bad but it shows much more on arsenal because of the pathetic squad we have

SDGooner

It’s almost humorous how bad our luck is. Almost.

Rodders1971

I listened to the game on 5 live as I was working yesterday- David Pleat was co-commentating & when Bacary got injured he said ‘I’m sure he’ll be up & bombing down the wing in no time’…what a complete cock Pleat is.
Get well soon Bacary…

GU1TAR-D3MON

I was maybe thinking that the Interlull had come at such a great time maybe Sagna can heal now I hear this!? Fuck me man… I’m sick of this shit…

Every season we have long term Injuiries and it’s not just one player it’s like 4 or 5…

I’m seriously tired of this… It’s either we have the worst luck or Earth or something else has to be blamed (not the Sagna thing, Ramsey thing or Eduardo thing)

neutral

All Arsenal needs is an injury to either Mertesacker or Song, an injury to RVP, and an injury to Arteta. Then we’ll be relegated. There is no cover at right back, there is no cover for RVP, there is no cover in central midfield. Not that we would miss Arteta very much, Diaby and Wilshere could not come back sooner -and I can’t believe I’m saying this about Diaby

I used to enjoy watching Liverpool and spurs implode in recent seasons -I can’t believe it is happeing to the Arsenal

AirzyFC

This is what happens when you sell your best players. Why am I paying the highest season ticket prices in the country?

Sad news for sagna just tops off a bad season and only 7 games in. I fear for us even more now because jenkinson just ain’t ready, I’m not knocking the kid maybe in a few years time he may be the answer but he just is not good enough right now and this is the last thing our defence needs right now.

Dave Gooner

Thats really bad luck. Our most solid footballer of the past 3 years. Get well soon Bacary. I hope Jenkinson will surprise the (many many) naysayers – but if he’s looking for encouragement and support, he definitely came to the wrong club. The unending stream of abuse coming from our own so called fans is really disheartening. So if the like of AirzyFC above want to let his subscription to “the highest season ticket prices in the country” lapse, there are 60,000 others who will take AFC’s arm off for the opportunity to support the club. In short Airzy, stay… Read more »

AirzyFC

Dave ‘Gooner’ is a mug. They’ve put prices up and sold our best players. Use this money to off set the price for those of us who take massive financial risk paying for season tickets to watch our club. If they were the best team in the country then it might be more understandable.

Jim Deen

Sagna is true class. He has been a tireless servant to the club since his arrival – steady, reliable, hard working, and no nonsense. He will most definitely be missed. However, doom and gloom it is not. We lost to the cunts, yes, but I think we need a few more games to gel, and then I hope we will begin to see a real team. Right now, the lads just don’t know each other and are 10 guys kicking the ball around (with the eleventh keeping goal like a man possessed). Yes, that is partly/mostly Wenger’s fault for waiting… Read more »

Godders

We’re not gunna gel until we have our full strength 11 out consistently for a while instead of chopping it about to cover injuries, untill then I’m personally not expecting too much from us,
Get well soon bac, feel bad for CJ induction by fire or what he’ll get torn apart unless he’s got protection infront of him

Smeer Na$ri (with shit)

I don’t feel bad for CJ at all. I bet it’s a dream come true for him. He’s a fucking hardcore Gooner for fucks sake. Good luck to CJ. I think he’ll grow as a player as he plays more games. Get well soon Bac.

Voldermort

Great point godders that’s just what the kid will need, hopefully the senior players in front of him will help him out and up their work rate, and dave I think you over estimate our supporters mate they will desert in their droves if this form continues, history says they will sadly.

[…] has confirmed it’s a fibula crack, and the Frenchman is going to be out for 3 months. Unless he requires surgery, which would mean a longer time out. Great news, good times, […]

Lord Teddy Ears

I wish Baca’s all the best and I hope someone help Carl out as fan we have to lay off this kid and give him a chance for God sake. If he screws up well you know what shit happens. As I have said before the difference between us and Spurs was our bench, senior players yet again going missing and no time for the team to gel. I do not believe Arsene wants to see Arsenal sliding like this I truly believe the idiots upstairs are 100% to blame for this. We will not see big signings in January… Read more »

She wore

There s a f!!!!!! Curse on us since we moved stadium. Bring in a catholic priest, derek acohrah and a giant horseshoe! Oh yeah hazzard m villa Cahill would be handy as well,and Martin keown

La Gooner

Oh balls…..

JamesAFC

Jenkinson is shocking… with him at right back, we’ve got a long hard season ahead of us, how can Wenger leave us so vulnerable in one position, this kid was playing conference level football, now hes playing in the champs league. Get well soon Bac, we need ya

micky readman

shit for luck boys simple as that……watch what happens at the wkend….RVP does his ankle playing for the dutch…………then we are in the shit.

up the arsenal.

micky readman

you never know lads, sometimes out of adversity that’s when the best work comes……best of luck bacary.

Naija Gunner

This to heavy on us fans and I want to all of you for still supporting the club, am proud of being a gunner fan.

But who should we blame for all these shit that’s been happening to us since more than six years ago, the manager, fucking board, coaches or the players?

They all have to account for something coz’ I can’t blame any fan for anything even for bad chants, some of us can’t take it anymore. But I will only advice everyone to just keep on supporting them all till the end of the season.

TexasGooner6

You can’t blame this on Arsene or the board. There is no money! Oh wait, he has 60 mil in the bank. Well he didn’t know Nasri and Fab wanted to leave! Oh wait, he knew all summer and didn’t sell them until the last two weeks of the transfer window. At what point does Arsene stand up and point the finger inward? Apologize for the fans for this shitty team and then go out and work them in training until they behave as a unit. In January buy a superstar type player and another centerback with class. I want… Read more »

Jim Deen

Hazard and Cahill…oh we can dream, can’t we?

Mental Strength

Maybe Wenger has been managing with the handbrake on.

Godders

CJ will need experienced protection infront and alongside him the latter wouldnt be a drama if Verm was fit. Who could sit infront of him to help him out tho? Walcott can’t after the way he caned him during the utd match, arshavin can’t even sort his own game out let alone anyone else’s, Rambo can’t defend which leaves arteta who is ideal and would stop teams targeting him but would leave frimcoq alone in the centre. The perfect solution which wouldn’t need a team reshuffle is eboue who defensively was actually pretty good

Eric Irish gunner

It’s funny how many people are praising eboue now that he’s gone, proberly the same fans that slaughtered him when a arsenal player, so be carefull what you wish for when saying sack wenger, were going through a tough period and as much as it’s annoying we should get behind our players and hope things turn around COME ON YOU GUNNERS
