Is it possible to bring Jenkinson back? Yes, we're that desperate.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
No.

Okay, so it's Bellerin if Chambers is needed at CB.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Think Monreal at CB would be more likely tbh. And you can see Wenger forcing Coquelin into the team at FB as well.
Hopefully, if needed, Hectorinho can step up but his defending is still short of where one would hope it to be for the first team. His pace will help him out a lot of the time but his positioning and awareness of runners is still a worry at first team level.

We got away with it last season, Per & Kos were fit pretty much the whole season, that luck was never going to last. Wenger needs a good hard look at his transfer policy, total madness not bringing in a defender.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Miracle that bar Gibbs none of Kos, Per and Sagna didn't get a long term injury.
Not defending this incompetency, but Chelsea would be in the same situation with one injury.
Would've been nice to ease Bellerin into first team football with a few sub appearances right hand side of midfield.
As has been said many a time, he looks great going forward, but not so much defensively yet.
What's the news on Butch?
Looked like he turned his ankle at first but then with all the medical staff coming out was it something more serious?

Would they? They've got Ivanovic and Zouma for CB and Felipe Lius hasn't even played yet due to Azpilicuetas good form.

I was referring to having five defenders for four positions.

No, they wouldn't. Plus, none of their defenders is injury prone.
Debuchy has got a bad sprain not a break.

Seriously?!
We might've just got away with it there, if true.
Knew we'd spend the next four months sweating on our defenders getting through 90mins unscathed every time we have a game.

What the BBC commentator is saying.

Wenger: "Debuchy has a badly sprained ankle. It doesn't look too good. They need more time to assess how long he'll be out."
You're still some way off Uniteds 'best' c/b pairing of recent years of Carrick and Fletcher on the end of a 3-0 gubbing by,can't remember but a mid to low table outfit.
Lex, Debuchy will miss a few games that is for sure. Even if it is a spain ankle.
