[sbu_large_image] Injuries

15 March 2011 1630 comments

johnfinlay

The Swiss FA have given Arsene Wenger and Fantasy Managers new hope after announcing that Johan Djourou could return from injury within two weeks. After previously being ruled out for the season with a dislocated shoulder, suffered in the FA Cup loss to Manchester United, the defender who has been key to Arsenal may make a shock return.

The Swiss FA are hopeful that the defender may be fit for their Euro 2012 qualifier against Bulgaria on March 26. Their statement reads:

“The shoulder injury to Johan Djourou is less serious than feared on Saturday and announced by the coach of his club. The Arsenal defender and member of the Switzerland national team was submitted to thorough medical examinations on Monday. At the end of a long exhausting day, Johan Djourou had new hope that…. his season is not over yet.”

It is reported that Djourou has not suffered any fractures or bone injuries and the ligaments strained during the dislocation of the shoulder do not seem to be seriously damaged. The central defender will await the detailed assessments of a medical examination he underwent on Monday. If Djourou does return, he could be back for the Gameweek 31 fixture on 2 April against Blackburn.

Arsenal have kept 7 clean sheets in their last 9 Premier League fixtures that Djourou has played in. So far this season, in the games in which Djourou has featured, the Gunners have won 13 out of 16 and drawn the other 3. Valued at just 4.4 on the Fantasy Premier League (FPL) game, Djourou has been a bargain buy for many Fantasy Managers. With stats like these, a possible return will be a huge boost for Arsenal Football Club and his FPL owners.

In the meantime, Laurent Koscielny will be partnered by the Sébastien Squillaci who has been less than impressive in his time at the Emirates. The Gunners are also linked with a short-term move for veteran former goalkeeper Jens Lehmann, who will be back-up to Manuel Almunia with Lukasz Fabiański and Wojciech Szczęsny ruled out with long-term injuries.

It is expected that Arsenal will make an official comment on the players condition in the next few days and the player may reveal more through his Twitter account.

So annoying, Nani and Djourou are both returning faster than expected, but I bet you that Barton despite just being doubtful will be found on the bench or maybe not even that this GW.

Barton -> Adam
Tevez -> RVP

Hows that for transfers for this GW?

        That doesn't suprise me. QA is a good way of getting your foot through the door and then moving to other more creative areas of the company.

        Seems like the game is doing great overall, first 13 reviews added to metacritic gives the exceptional average of 90.
        
        I might actually give that game a try, looks interesting enough. Probably after Dragon Age 2 though!

    - Better fixtures
    - No other competitions, so no chance or rotation or rest.
    - In top form

    I am contemplating a move out for Zigic and Barton this week for a 4 point hit, Wellbeck and Bale IN so I can do Nasri and Tevez OUT next week for Lampard and RVP, Tevez and Doyle OUT for me in that line up, btt couldn't argue too much with you keeping Doyle, he is consistant, just not spectacular, would prefer Carroll

      yeah ideally I'd have RVP and Rooney instead of Tevez and Berbs, but couldn't be done just yet, also Arteta out for Nani/Valencia, then Barton for Nasri and I'm done. Would look like this:
      
      Lampard Downing VDV Nani/Valencia Nasri
      Rooney RVP Doyle
      
      pretty awesome if you ask me 🙂
      
      sadly won't be done for a while, then most likely Doyle>Wellbeck/Carroll(depending on form) in GW32

    It's the Cheltenham Festival this week, only time I generally bother with horses, well that and the Grand National. My accumulator is 1689/1 - I stuck a fiver on and I'm half way there so squeaky bumtime.
    I think the full 1689/1 is for all four to win, two have placed so far so I'm not sure what will happen.

        1/4 odds in each leg of the place accumulator not 1/4 of the win accumulator return.
        
        i.e 10/3 -> 10/12
        13/2 -> 13/8
        7/1 -> 7/4
        11/2 -> 11/8
        
        Then treat the revised odds as an accumulator at the place part of the e/w stake.
        
        Basically 31.37 x the place stake.

        No worries. It takes me back to my time with Ladbrokes. Nowadays the manager's don't even have to settle bets. Staff input the bet details and the winnings are settled centrally.
        
        Fond memories of the job itself, but pay and customers leave a lot to be desired.
        
        P.S I save the abuse now for Wenger!

Not sure what to do here…

Foster

Walker – Smalling – Coleman

Young A – Adam – Van der Vaart – Nani

Tevez – Rooney(C) – Van Persie

Subs
Al-Habsi – Barton – Luiz – Djourou

I realy want to get Lampard in, but that would mean sacrificing Tevez. Problem with that is my clostest rivals all have tevez so I don’t want tevez to start scoring with all of them having him in their sides.

Do I Get rid of Tevez + Barton for Lampard + Carrol? Or just stick with the same side and try and keep my 110 point lead for untill the rest of the season?

Alright gents, I want to bring in RVP for some Arsenal cover and also VDV. I already have Djourou, but his chances of starting against Westbrom surely has to be slim? taking him out would mean an 8 point hit, but with a very strong lead in my mini-league (200+ ahead) I maybe could afford it?

Arteta > VDV
Tevez > RVP
Djourou > Walker

Walker Coleman Vidic Huth

  Is that based on this piece in the London Standard?
  
  http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/standard-sport/football/article-23932273-arsenal-cautious-over-djourou-claim.do
  
  Because if so, the article is a bit bizarre - the Swiss FA aren't concerned that Djourou might not be fit for the Euro qualifier against England in June (!), they're bothered about next week's qualifier with Bulgaria.
  
  The crux of the matter is that Arsenal pulled Djourou out of Switzerland's last friendly due to a "serious injury" which healed very quickly, and the Swiss are worried that Wenger might also try to spin this shoulder injury out so that Djourou avoids being called up for the Sofia international (which the defender very much wants to play in).
  
  We'll know more when the full results of the medical examination are released later this week. But of the two sides, it's the Swiss FA that I trust more here.
