Senna 735 Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Arsene Wenger has seen yet another Arsenal centre half suffer an injury blow.Young defender Kyle Bartley, 20, currently on loan at Rangers and seen as a first team prospect, needs a hernia operation.That will rule Bartley out for several weeks and comes on top of Belgian centre half Thomas Vermaelen undergoing surgery and being out for up to two months while midfielder Jack Wilshere could be out for three weeks.Arsenal boss Wenger will give Per Mertesacker his debut against Swansea on Saturday alongside Laurent Koscielny while out-of-favour Sebastien Squillaci could also have to be brought back in from the cold.Johan Djourou and 18-year-old Ignasi Miquel are the club's back-up with Vermaelen out after Wenger decided not to pursue his interest in Bolton's Gary Cahill in the transfer window.http://www.mirrorfootball.co.uk/news/Arsena-s-Kyle-Bartley-in-hernia-op-after-Rangers-loan-article795508.html?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitterNot good news. Sooner the big man is back the better. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
papaguy51 912 Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Not great news, but we should be okay with Perry or another in there just now.A hernia shouldn't be too bad. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

simplythebest 11,453 Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Bartley and Goian should be the first choice partnership. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForeverBlue_Since91 2,895 Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Rangers must be the unluckiest team in the world with players getting injured. And needing operations etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBoyDave 123 Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Shame about Bartley but it is an opportunity for whoever plays alongside Goian to stake their claim and competition is good to keep our players on their toes.Hope the big guy gets back and fit soon I think he has a great attitude and we could do with a few more like him.

NessFTW 40 Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 What a shame. Oh well we've got Boca at least.Hope Goian proves his fitness as well, then we've got some player. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sicknote 26 Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Spent the last few days worrying about the lads on international duty, forgot those at home. Definite blow. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goianegra 4,682 Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 You would think he was still an Arsenal player atm if you take away the 2nd line. Why would Wenger be that bothered when he's on loan at us for a season. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creampuff 22,628 Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Bocanegra LB and Perry in the middle? The young lad has done nothing to suggest he isn't ready to be there - although he is fucking ugly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clemdog 39,389 Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Not good news, however Perry doesn't deserve to lose his place.Goian and himself have been fairly solid at the back so far Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
albluenose1990 29 Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Never seen injury's in defence as bad as this season. Thank god it's been when we've got about 9 defenders to choose from unlike last year having 5. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

brissybear 50 Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Bartley and Goian should be the first choice partnership. They will spend more time on the sidelines than in the team, I have no doubt about that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
