Arsene Wenger has revealed Arsenal forward Danny Welbeck has suffered yet another injury setback which will see the Englishmen miss at least another eight games for the Gunners, with a renewed expected return date of February 2016. The Gunners attacker is set to have a prolonged spell on the sidelines along with fellow countryman Jack Wilshere, who has also suffered a setback.
Since making the cross-over from long-term rivals Manchester United, Danny Welbeck hasn’t made the impact he would have hoped down south, despite an impressive UEFA Champions League hat-trick against Galatasaray and the famous FA Cup goal which sunk his former employers.
He is still not available because of bone bruising that decorated.
It is a big blow for us, especially because we could not rotate and lost Alexis Sanchez.
The additional injury is likely to make life in London increasingly difficult for the 25-year-old, with Joel Campbell rising to the occasion when called upon, and both Olivier Giroud and Theo Walcott having impressed in spells this season in his preferred position as a striker.
Welbeck picked up a knee injury late in April and has since struggled to nurse himself back to full fitness.
Not only has the services of the former United player been missed, the absence of the striker denies Arsene Wenger the availability to rest and rotate the current starting XI, subsequently causing Alexis Sanchez to aggregate an existing hamstring injury to add to the lengthy injury list.
