While talking to the press on Friday about Arsenal’s trip to Asia, Arsene Wenger also updated Arsenal fans on the injury status of some first team regulars. This is what he had to say:
on Bacary Sagna (broken fibula)…
“He is doing very well. There are no problems there. But it will be the end of August for him.”
on Abou Diaby, who missed the end of the Premier League season…
“He is fit, raring to go and will be on the tour. That is fantastic news for him and us.”
on Jack Wilshere (ankle)….
“It is impossible to set a concrete deadline at the moment. But it is all OK. He is as quick as we expected him to be. His ankle is good and his knee is good. There is no set-back. It difficult to say ‘it will be this week in September or October’ when he is back in training. He has been out for a year and I don’t want to put any pressure on him.”
on Tomas Rosicky (plantaris tendon)…
“It will be six to eight weeks until he is back in training. It was his [plantaris tendon], it was done at the Euros.”
on Emmanuel Frimpong (knee)…
“Emmanuel is doing very well. It will be the end of September or perhaps into October for him.”
on Mikel Arteta, who missed the end of the Premier League season…
“He is fit now.”
on Lukasz Fabianski, who missed Euro 2012…
“He is OK and will travel to the tour.”
