I have to keep things very quick this morning so I thought it best just to include Arsene Wenger’s comments from his weekly press conference regarding player availability for Chelsea on Sunday. “I don’t know [about Cesc]. It looks a 50:50 but a 50:50 balancing on the negative side. I will find out on Saturday [...]

Vermaelen’s absence shouldn’t be felt too much

by Andrew Weber on March 24, 2010

Here’s a quick summary on what has been a quite brilliant news day for the Arsenal: Thomas Vermaelen has not broken his leg and may yet play in Sunday’s epic showdown against Manchester United.
