Probably Sturridge......but thats not what we want to hear....

Feck sake. They get a key player back for a big game, where as we could possibly lose another and have none coming back!

I wonder if they'll ever be a time when we can even at least have the majority of our first chocie 11 fit for a big game!? Seems our injury crisis always peaks in he build up to an important game.

With a number of games in a short space of time over Christmas, I fear there will be more injuries, Sanchez usually has a break this time of the year so hopefully he can come through unscathed.

If Ox is injured then we are facked

We could have rosicky and monreal back, that's about it.

Rosicky at least can play in a central midfield area. He is also tailor made for this sort of match where we need to have a good tempo on the ball and a hard work rate without.

Rosicky has hardly kicked a ball this season.

If Ox misses out, our injury list to key players will be unreal

Ox
Wilshere
Ozil
Ramsey
Walcott
Koscienly
Arteta

That's 7 potential first team players

Talking of midfielders, just seen Kristoffer Olsson has been called up to the Swedish senior team. His loan spell in Denmark ends at the end of December.

Walcott may make the bench.
