Fabregas to miss Wednesday night’s clash

Cesc Fabregas will not face Celtic on Wednesday night.

The Arsenal captain picked up a hamstring strain against Portsmouth on Saturday and was withdrawn at half-time. Fabregas underwent a scan on the injured muscle on Tuesday morning.

Speaking at his pre-match press conference, Arsène Wenger described the scan results as "reassuring" but confirmed he will miss Wednesday night's clash.

"From last Saturday we lost Cesc Fabregas who did not train today" the manager said.

"His scan was quite reassuring as he has no muscular strain but it will take a few days to settle down.

"There's a chance he'll be fit for Old Trafford."

So there you have it,he could be ack for Saturday's game,which is good news as there is no muscular strain.

~Borat~:

So where does c.ronaldo fit in? Akamu,

Meaning? We are not Gayners that keep on shouting about Ade, Flamini and Hleb. CR7 is gone and hez gone for good.
He was lucky to be in a good team with a good gaffer that brought out the best in him. He won all and decided to move on unlike Ade, Flamstar and Hleb(FAB4 @ the end of the season) that came empty handed and left empty handed. .

HNIC:

These Obertans should leave our thread na
Don't worry, you will lose to Burnley, Birmingham, Wolves
In fact, you will lose 10 matches and still win the league.
Now can you all disappear and get a life!
Scummie logic all the way.
It's been happening before and it will happen again!
***HISS***

I have noticed that you use those words when ever you feel defeated. Are u winning the league this season? Be honest with your church mind.

dayokanu:

Dont you guys love it when Assanal are winnin the "August league"? It makes all the roaches cretins and twats come out. Watch out by January they would be back to their holes.

Check the table again and see who is leading

Really good news
Heard rozzi trained and Theo will be in the squad also!

MrCrackles:

^ I hope we have him available for the weekend
I wouldav rested him for tomorrow's game even if he was fit!

Absolutely.Any of Diaby,Denilson or Ramsey can take his place for tommorow's game.

You seem to have a lot of time to spare. . . . . i doubt it's reasonable to exchange banter with someone whose team can't cope in a league equivalent to J-league.

Heard rozzi trained and Theo will be in the squad also!

Rozzi?Thought the initial report was 2 months?Any news on Nasri?

DayoKanu,

1. Arsenal are NOT leading the league

2. I come here when time allows and not related to if we are winning.

3. Many times I come and just read and get put off by 5 pages of abuse between two people or a long love letter to Adepaymemore by Dr Kituan

What makes me laugh is that we are supposed to be upset at winning our games so far!

You beat what is put in front of you, no matter what.

I will never judge a league so early on, I am too long in the tooth for that BUT as a fan you are allowed to express optimism and always hope for the best.


So my predictions for the end of season:

Arsenal - Yes we can!
Chelsea
Man U
Tottenham
Liverpool
Man City

How you like me now?

dk is just a fish

go to ur bayern munscum thread



oh wait you are the only fan on NL,

With Bayern struggling to get any sort of performance together, it is understandable that DK will be riled up. . .take it out on your shambolic club and not on the Royal Gunners of North London. 

I don't expect less from the vermin around here, no one ever gives Arsenal credit when it's due. Whether or not y'all like it, the league table shows played 2, won two with +8 goal difference. No rants here can change that.

Cesc is not seriously injured and I think that is good news. . .if I were Wenger, I wouldn't even start him against Utd if fit, but only bring him on if things get tough in that game.

@ Sharon

We understand the league concept, only Liverpool who haven't won in 20 years have no grasp of the league system and are at best a potential cup winning side. Spill all the bollocks you want here, but as long as we keep churning out the results, it will remain nonsense.

Like oga V said, we cannot be sad we have won our games, we only hope we strengthen properly and continue winning games and don't suffer any bad injuries. To all the haters, keep foaming at the mouth like diseased meerkats.

But what if you don't churn out good results. . . .will my rants become relevant then?
Previous records agree with me that whatever Sauron says about Arsenal shall come to pass.

They will be as relevant as a clock that has stopped - even in that state it's right twice a day, but that doesn't change the fact that it's a non functioning piece of crap.

Rubbish - numerous predictions by you have been proven wrong over and over - we shall see a new set of those come this weekend.

Back to gooner issues.

I am still not sure about this 4-3-3 business - granted we've won games and scored goals, but I still feel it's not the best thing for us at the moment. RVP might be creating goals from his 'central' position, but I think playing just behind a main striker like Eduardo or Bendtner, or playiing wide left in a 4-3-3 as he does with Holland will be more productive.

In addition, I am not confident the formation brings out the best in AA23. Let's be frank with ourselves - Cesc aside, we need the little Russian to be at his creative/scoring best. That said, Andrey seems to be happy with the formation so we'll see how it goes.

Less than 7 days to the end of the window. . . .let's see if AW decides to bring anyone in.

Wasn't it 3-0 a few hours ago? Don't worry, you have lot's of time to change it before Saturday. As the saying goes - predict in haste, retract at leisure.

KAI I CAN'T WAIT FOR SATURDAY'S GAME. ONE OF THE GAYNERS OR SCUMMIES WILL CHOP YABBING THAT DAY.

@Sauron, tell Sir not to sell Anderson until after saturday. We want to beat your infamous Ando-Fletcher+Carrick combo in your backyard.

Interesting. . .

Soooooo many posts regarding the "Batttle Royale", some good, some bad, some "butt" ugly.

Why CANT dis thread be limited to juz Arsenal Fans alone Why do we have to have h8rz breathin down our necks each time we whoop teams??

Hate it or Love it : Arsenal's God's "gift" to soccer!!! . . .

There's no BIG deal wif the Manure fixtures as i see a repeat of last season's "early" victory against em. . Fab (mos likely may join the party)

I'd love to see the grand, classic battle of the midfield btwn Carrick+Anderson+Scholes & Denilson+Song+Fab. . .

But it's all gonna be too easy to be Manure. . .No Ferdinand

@VIEIRA

I actually would have tot u woula made more sense. . .

its ridiculous u now sound like it wasnt Hoyte paying ur rent, now its looking like an outright denial

I purposely cooled off the Ade issue but peeps here keep referring to it and best believe it I CHOOSE WHO I REPLY AND U KNOW IT ! so many others say f*ckall here and cant even interpret the offside rule neither can they explain the AWAY GOAL COUNTS DOUBLE system, so why should I reply such irritants when we aint on the same level ?

I hold tenaciously to my own views and peeps shouldnt lose their sleep abt it . . .mind u I love Gerrard and Kaka more than I love any other Arsenal player, BUT ARSENAL IS ONE OF TOP 5 THINGS IN MY LIFE I LOVE MOST . . .SO TAPE IT SHUT ABT WHAT I LIKE AM AND WHO I AM !

@MUKI

dont get me worked up with ur Ade jibes . . .its becoming nauseating

easy o.
whts popping?

@dr kit

We may have had our differences when it comes to view, but seeing your last post (above). . It's become clear that you're NUTIN like some of the peepz on here posting alot of shit  that don't even make sense. . I doff my hat for u sir

Arsenal's a club i've loved since i was 7 and it holds a special place in my heart too as well so i can as well understand where you're coming from

@muki

Ade's in the past, so PLS let a dead do lie

The pompousity, sometimes, on this thread is grating. I cannot imagine a rational man denigrating another's post just because "he doesnt know a corner kick!" As far as I know,its no law though, football is subjective so all you supercilious know-alls, where did you learn your bit? And why not try coaching if you know so much. Fora's are for all so get off your high horse and let others be!!

@ Ifedisky, Word

Arsene Wenger has moved to rubbish speculations that the second leg of the play off tie with Celtic is a done deal. He said;

“My priority is still to get into the Champions League first and once we are in it, to try to win. We live in a pragmatic world so let’s first get in it. It’s not job done, it’s job to do. That’s how I approach it. There’s a job to do and to finish. We have done a big part of it but the most important [thing] is to get over the line and that’s what we want to achieve tomorrow.”

He also revealed that Aaron Ramsey could deputise for the injured Cesc Fabregas. Quoting the boss;

“I am not scared to put Ramsey in [for this game], but we still have Song, Diaby and Denilson.”

I believe Arsene will have a little selection worry in the midfield as he has four equally capable players available for tonight’s game. I’d rather he allowed Ramsey continue alongside Diaby and decide between Denilson and Song who was rested against Portsmouth.

More refreshingly however is the news that Tomas Rosicky (as earlier reported) is back in training and could even feature at Old Trafford on Saturday. Nevertheless, Arsene has said that he will not unnecessarily rotate the team unless he feels certain players need some rest.

Whilst he named unchanged line ups for our first two games, I believe he wants the best team to play each game and while that could be reassuring, I hope we don’t end up with half of the team being fatigued and the other half too rusty to put up match winning performances. Notwithstanding, I am fully confident that Arsene who has also claimed that Theo Walcott’s England role is unrealistic, will do what is best for the team.

When asked about Blaise Matuidi, Wenger said

“I deny that! The only thing I can tell you is that at the moment we are not close to signing anybody. We have still one week.”

On the future of Senderos, Wenger said there was no news and if he hadn’t moved by the 31st August then he will be considered as any other player in the squad. What this means is that he may have been unwilling to consider him whilst his future was still in the balance. Poor boy!

Meanwhile, Abou Diaby in speaking to the London Evening Standard believes that Arsenal are ready to win the Champions League this season. He said;

“We talk about winning the Champions League. Arsenal are a big club and deserve to win a big title like the Champions League and as a player you want to win that trophy as well so it’s in our mind. I would like to be in United’s place and be in the final. It’s good for them and obviously we want to have the same success. We can definitely challenge everyone this season. We are ready to fight and to get something this year. It will be hard against Celtic, they are a good team and now we are focused on this game. Everyone knows it will not be easy even after winning the first leg so we will have to be focused to go through.

Gael Clichy also claims the rise and fall of Aliaksandr Hleb’s career is a motivation for him to stay put at Arsenal. In an interview with the official Arsenal magazine, he said;

“It proves that sometimes leaving for another big club is not always the right decision. When you move you have to be sure that the club really wants you – you want to know, not necessarily that you’ll be playing all the time, but that you’re part of it,”

Well said Gael…we hope the young guns are listening! In the meantime, the Mirror reckons that Fran Merida is set to be offered a new deal.

Tonight’s game as expected will be a mouth watering encounter with Celtic looking to steal a march on Arsenal’s percieved advantage with an early goal. Error prone centre back Gary Caldwell who was at fault for both goals in the first leg of the tie thinks the Gooners are the Gunner’s weak point? How daft! He said;

“We’ll have to score first to make the fans agitated but we have the players to do that. For us to win would be a great result because Arsenal are a great club. It would be massive, especially as we will have overturned a two-goal deficit.”

Game on then! I expect a not too different line up from the team that faced Portsmouth on Saturday with Ramsey coming in for Fabregas and Song replacing Denilson in the starting line up. I go for Eduardo ahead of Bendtner as the sensational Crozilian be key in unlocking the Celtic defence early on.

Possible Line up: Almunia, Sagna, Gallas, Vermaelen, Clichy, Ramsey, Song Diaby, Van Persie, Eduardo, Arshavin

Subs: Mannone, Gibbs, Merida, Eboue, Denilson, Bendtner, Wilshere.

My verdict: Arsenal 3 Celtic 0

The game is live at 19:45 on Hi Soccer in Nigeria with audio commentary online at Arsenal TV.

Feel free to join the debates at the Arsenal vs Celtic Matchday Thread as well as the Arsenal Fans Thread of Nairaland.com. A mid-week Podcast is also available from Arsenal.com.

Till tomorrow…Victoria Concordia Crescit.
