Arsenal Rocked By New Injury Woes, Gallas Out
Arsenal defender William Gallas has joined fellow national Mikael Silvestre in the Gunners' treatment room.
Jan 8, 2009 11:36:43 AM
Arsenal face a potentially tricky tie when Premier League business resumes this weekend when the Gunners host Bolton Wanderers in their Emirates home.
They will have to contest the encounter without former captain William Gallas though, who picked up a hamstring problem during his side's clash with lower league Plymouth in the third round of the FA Cup last weekend.
Gallas will join Mikael Silvestre in the treatment center, who is suffering from a thigh problem.
It is not all bad news for Arsenal fans though, as Arsene Wenger reassured the Red and White army that it will be a case of 'two in, two out.'
Ivorian international Kolo Toure has recovered from the inflammation of his groin, and Denilson is fully fit following his back troubles.
"Kolo and Denilson will be back available," Wenger confirmed on the club's official website.
"However unfortunately we have lost William Gallas with a hamstring problem."
He continued: "We lost Silvestre too with a thigh problem last week as well. So we have lost two players from the game on Saturday but we have gained two back.
"I think Gallas and Silvestre will be out for three weeks."
