OX out for 3-4 weeks.

[Nuggets]

Arsenal midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain faces around three weeks out with a hamstring strain suffered against Manchester United. Bloody hell talk about unlucky with injuries.

Lucky we hired someone to look at these injuries!

Oh well at least Theo might get a game now

[augie]

When is the investigation of our medical department beginning can someone tell me ??

Everytime Chamberlain is having a storming game he pulls up with a muscular injury and have to go off. What does he do at half time? There has to be a remedy to this.

Enter Walcott (finally).

I was discussing this with another supporter who also happens to be a doctor. He called this injury at the weekend after there were hints of the ox starting. Said it's due to the reintroduction of stress and load experienced during a competitive match. So even though he was out previously with a groin injury, the hamstring injury has been caused by not gradually reintroducing him back. He shouldn't be playing more than 30 minutes for the first few matches back.

So it's either a medical team that don't focus on preventative measures, players pretending to feel fit or the manager rushing them back... I'm sure many of us have heard rumours about the boss going against the advice of physios...

Walcott could've played infront of Chamberlain a lot more recently, if that were the case. I wouldn't be surprised if it's back to Giroud and Welbeck, with Walcott still nowhere in sight despite an absence of Chamberlain. Something's up with Theo, whether contract-related or injury-related. He's too useful not to be playing a role at the moment.
