Arsenal manager can’t overstate Djourou blow
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has described Johan Djourou’s injury as a ‘massive blow’.
With William Gallas out for the rest of the season the last thing the Gunners needed was another injury, but Djourou now faces a spell on the sidelines after picking up a knee problem on Saturday.
"We are feeling a little stretched. That injury to Djourou is a massive blow to us," said Wenger. "We lost Gallas last week and now Djourou. We cannot afford to lose any more players in the centre of defence."
Arsenal face Villarreal in the second leg of their UEFA Champions League quarter-final on Wednesday, before taking on Chelsea in the FA Cup semi-final on Saturday afternoon.
