Injury update

Arsenal physio Colin Lewin has spoken today regarding the current injuries in the Arsenal squad.

Lewin confirmed that Fabregas should be fit in time for Spain's world cup bid this summer, and he also dispelled rumors concerning media reports that had suggested Fabregas had sustained his injury prior to the Barcelona clash during the weekend fixture with Birmingham:
"The injury was certainly as a result of the tackle by Carlos Puyol at the end of the Barcelona game. There were some ill-informed media reports that the fracture was sustained before the Barcelona game and those reports, put simply, were untrue. He suffered heavy bruising in the Birmingham City game but to suggest that someone can run around for 85 minutes against Barcelona with a fractured fibula is just farcical" - Colin Lewin.


Johan Djourou whose cartilage issue in his knee joint has kept him out all season long is set to return to full training along with Kieran Gibbs who has been out recovering from the operation on his first meta tarsal in his left foot.

Robin van Persie is going to return to full training very soon, and should be ready for first team action within a few weeks
