Kai Havertz has pulled out of the Germany squad due to a knee issue. He will remain at Arsenal during the international break.
Beautiful, Just Beautiful, and something we've not done near enough on in the past. You rest that knee Kai......rest it well!!!

Hopefully all other squad members follow suit..........I struggle to imagine why any player would be up for the pointlessness of the interlull when theyre in the hunt for a league medal!
I genuinely believe that many more players Would exclude themselves from selection if they could, but there is a Hidden Internal form of Blackmail where their National Team Coach / Manager let's them know that if they pull-out of any selection then their chances of playing in future Competitions (Proper one's that is) could be reduced.

Also that baldWank Carsley wants to win as many games as possible because he is desperate to get the job Full-Time and so will Play the Best Players.

One thing IS guaranteed is that both Saka and Rice will play the full 90 minutes of both the Utterly Pointless games and so risk injury; if not in this games then later when the Fatigue kicks in.

That's a very good point.

Pleased to see Martinelli returning to form!
Don’t think it’s a coincidence that he’s looking better now that he has a half decent footballer at left back playing behind him.

Thomas Partey is staying with Arsenal during the international break.

Understand he has been suffering a bit of illness (not an injury) and so it has been agreed he should rest up for a bit after playing so many minutes this season. Purely precaution.

That’s what needs to happen to Rice and Saka before that water carrying Everton c.unt rides them into the ground :twisted:

Havertz despite being clumsy is doing ok this season, Not a Partey fan but I don't think we can afford for anyone to get injured at the moment.

The exception to the rule would be Sterling who is already injured in the brain department.

Yes because as limited as havertz is we are far better with him up top than the idiot Jesus.

Unfortunately, nothing sums up the parlous nature of our striking options than this.
