Arsene Wenger Admits Concern Over Injuries To Arsenal Stars Alex Song & Andrey Arshavin
Gunners chief nervously awaiting medical updates...
By Zack Wilson
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has admitted that he still does not know how long Alex Song and Andrey Arshavin will be sidelined, after both players limped out of last night's win over Liverpool.
Samir Nasri also suffered a blow to the head during the game and was withdrawn as a precationary measure.
The young Frenchman should be available for next week's Champions League clash with Porto, but the situation may be more complex for his two team-mates.
"Unfortunately we have lost Alex Song with a medial knee ligament problem," Wenger told the Gunners' official website.
"I hope he will be available for next week but it is not for sure. Arshavin looks to be a hamstring problem. We have to assess that too.
"Nasri got an elbow in his face and he felt unwell. But that is no problem. He will be available.
"So the questions marks will be about Arshavin and Song. We'll know more tomorrow."
"Arshavin has a scan today and Alex Song has come in for treatment. He is very sore today so we'll have to see how he responds."
