Arsenal star Walcott ruled out for up to six weeks
ESPNsoccernet - September 9, 2010



Arsenal have confirmed that an ankle injury sustained on international duty with England will keep Theo Walcott sidelined for between four and six weeks.

Walcott turned over on his right ankle in the early stages of England's 3-1 win over Switzerland and was stretchered off before being taken to hospital for scans on the problem.

Arsene Wenger now admits that with Nicklas Bendtner still out for "three to four weeks" and Robin van Persie absent until the end of October, his attacking options have been hit further by the loss of Walcott.

The news comes as a cruel blow to a player who has suffered extensively with injury problems in recent seasons, but had scored four goals in his past two appearances for the Gunners.

"The tackle looked quite bad," Wenger said. "When you see how it turned his ankle I thought it would be three or four days or it would be four to six weeks. Unfortunately it will be four to six weeks.

"We had some good news about the scan because at some stage we were scared it could be worse. But overall it is a question of patience and rehabilitation."

Arsenal confirmed on Tuesday that an ankle injury sustained by Van Persie in a 2-1 win over Blackburn was more serious than first feared. "That is bad news," Wenger said of Van Persie's injury. "At the start we were optimistic. Maybe a bit too much, thinking it would be one or two weeks. But the damage was bigger than expected and he will be four to six weeks."

However, Johan Djourou, Denilson and Sebastien Squillaci should all be available for Saturday's game against Bolton, while French midfielder Samir Nasri is close to returning to first-team action after undergoing knee surgery.

"He could even be involved against Bolton," Wenger said. "He has had a very good preparation and joins in [training] tomorrow. If needed I will integrate him in the squad for Bolton but for sure he will be back for our first Champions League game against Braga."

Defoe out for six weeks
Striker to miss start of Champions League campaign
SkySport.com, Pete O'Rourke - 9th September 2010



Tottenham Hotspur star Jermain Defoe has been ruled out for six weeks with an ankle injury.

Defoe sustained the injury midway through the second half of England's win over Switzerland on Tuesday night.

The striker hoped the injury was not too serious after the match, but scans have shown Defoe has suffered ankle ligament damage.

The injury is set to sideline Defoe for six weeks at least and means he will miss several of Spurs' Champions League group games, starting with next week's trip to Werder Bremen.

The 27-year-old is also likely to sit out England's next Euro 2012 qualifier at home to Montenegro next month.

The news is a major blow for Defoe as he was establishing himself as a regular in Fabio Capello's side after scoring a hat-trick in last week's win over Bulgaria.

The injury is another headache for Spurs boss Harry Redknapp as he is already without Michael Dawson for two months after the defender sustained a knee injury against Bulgaria.

"Even if it's a bad sprain, you're still talking about six weeks or so, because it's a nasty one," said Redknapp.
