Injury Table

August to now is approx 160 days.
Welbeck, Rosicky and Wilshere have been out all season.
That is 480 days already.

Something not adding up here.

Didn't do the maths, but as soon as I saw I thought it looked a bit suspicious.

"your fans still insist that Arsenal have more injury problems than Liverpool and United"

Over the last 10 years we are miles ahead of any other team in terms injuries suffered

The stats are false. Weird that the BBC did something so obviously wrong.

Pretty confident we have had more than 14 players injured this season, as well.
Ospina, Bellerin, Per, Koscielny, Gibbs, Arteta, Flamini, Coquelin, Cazorla, Alexis, Walcott, Chamberlain, Welbeck, Wilshere, Rosicky all definitely have missed games with injury and that is 15 off the top of my head.


I would guess that maybe they are only counting injuries that happened during the season, so wiped off Welbeck, Wilshere and Rosicky from the data?

We often seem to miss the most key players to our squad. Like now, coq, cazorla, and Sanchez. Argubably our best players all out at same time. Seasons gone by we've missed ozil, Ramsey, and Walcott for large periods. Could also put Wilshere into first team players, who are always out. Also useful squad players out at same time. It's rare we have been able to field our best 11 at same time.

We're talking about this season, not the last 10 years

After Cazorla and Coqulein got injured, we have been playing with the same 14 players consistently for over a month. That's paper thin.
The injuries are long term as well, not like out for a week or so. The fact we managed to get to the top of the table at the weakest point of the season says a lot about the character of this team

Whatever suits I suppose.

Just had a look at physio room and our only player currently listed as injured is Jack Wilshere

I must have been imagining Sanchez, Welbeck, Coquelin, Cazorla and Ospina.
