The injuries have definitely been a concern. Tough luck I guess especially with the run of games we’ve had to start the season but maybe it’s good we’ve had these issues now and not in the run in if we’re still there with a chance.

hanok.bsky.social•106 days ago

If this is a minor issue (which it seems to be if I understand you correctly), then he will hopefully not be away for more than 3-4 weeks.

engelhart.bsky.social•104 days ago

He had surgery, a few reports saying up to 12 weeks. However these things a very individual and could be shorter. But don’t expect to see him anytime soon

gtalksarsenal.bsky.social•106 days ago

Apparently 6/8 weeks. Hopefully Timber can stay fit and Cala is back after the international break

red-quadrant.bsky.social•105 days ago

Obvious, he has not been fit for a while. I wish him a speedy recovery. I want to see the real Ben White back ASAP.👍

arsevengers.bsky.social•106 days ago

Ben should of had that op 2 seasons ago, have we wasted him by playing him with an injury

georgepircalabu.bsky.social•106 days ago

Raya
Timber - Saliba - Gabriel - Calafiori
Odegaard - Rice - Merino
Saka - Havertz - Martinelli

engelhart.bsky.social•104 days ago

If we are trying to see some upside to our injury issues in defence, is that MLS has gotten a lot of good minutes in tough matches. I am confident he can come in handy if the injury streaks continue

liamivory.bsky.social•106 days ago

Odds on him starting first game back... 🤣🤣

smunkybee.bsky.social•106 days ago

He's not been peak Benny Blanco for a while, hopefully we get him back to his best afterwards.

mazzerooni.bsky.social•106 days ago

If that’s how he plays with an injury- can’t wait to get him back

ronaguirre.bsky.social•106 days ago

CHARLES!!! I’m so glad you’re here 🤗🔴⚪️⚽️ #COYG

jsfmica.bsky.social•106 days ago

We can’t seem to catch a break on the injury front. He will be missed!

maclogue.com•106 days ago

any news on how long he'll be out?

adallin.bsky.social•106 days ago

I read 8 wks 😭

honestweighman.bsky.social•106 days ago

Good luck to Ben. Glad to see Califiore back.

binokbiji.bsky.social•104 days ago

Tomiyasu?

firatkoba.bsky.social•106 days ago

What a fucking season already.. 😫

countryman100.bsky.social•106 days ago

Few rumours circulating about Thomas Partey. Can you confirm anything?

leongrandbeta.bsky.social•106 days ago

I think Charles would get into big legal trouble by doing so.

countryman100.bsky.social•106 days ago

Probably so. I thought that had all died a death.

kraig.bsky.social•106 days ago

Any ideas when Tomi is due back?

jsbarkema.bsky.social•106 days ago

We are just getting away with it not becoming a full on crisis at the moment. One comes back, one goes out.

jodontchaknow.bsky.social•106 days ago

Wut?!? Now is a ‘good time?’ Wishing Benny Blanco all the best healing karma in the world but damn. Someone on that side pissed off a witch something awful because we are hexed. Hexed I tell ya!

kylej798.bsky.social•106 days ago

I’m guessing ‘good time’ is in reference to the international break so he wouldn’t have been playing for 2 weeks anyway & we’re having defensive players return from injury so there’s less need for him to play through an injury

jodontchaknow.bsky.social•106 days ago

Makes sense … just these injuries are killing us this year.

engelhart.bsky.social•104 days ago

Also the schedule is a lot kinder after the break, not as many top team games which is usually easier to cope. However, during a season there is rarely a perfect time to be out 3 months

tcuk1985.bsky.social•106 days ago

Hopefully Arsenal feeling it’s a good time to do now is based upon confidence of others returning, like Calafiori and Tomiyasu, or that it’s a relatively short recovery over an International break 🤞

iamelliott.bsky.social•106 days ago

Probably for the best, we need him fresh as I’ve read he plays through the pain barrier

gashead.bsky.social•106 days ago

I had noticed one knee was less tanned than the other one, glad he's getting that sorted.

zacwilson.bsky.social•106 days ago

I think we all knew there was something up, without really knowing. Fair play to him though, especially that colossal performance at CB.

philsmosoti.bsky.social•105 days ago

bfc5.bsky.social•106 days ago

Dude had to have been hurting while covering CB and killed it. Always much respect to Benny Blanco!

mattazy.bsky.social•106 days ago

Hopefully Ben won’t be out for too long, clearly needed it done. Good news about Riccardo!

diresu.bsky.social•106 days ago

Makes sense. Can clearly tell he was playing with an injury for a long while now. Hopefully he is back to his bronze shiny best after.
