Ed0025. Hello mate. I'm hearing a few disturbing rumours from decent sources. It is that Theo's injuries have been a bit touch and go whereas it could be a career changer! Have you heard anything or wouldn't you be allowed to comment on anything like that. Thanks mate.

{Ed025's Note - he is apparently due to start training at the end of the month golds, but that does not mean he will be playing mate, he has been through the mill with this injury, and its not as straight forward as other injuries, arsene will not rush him, and rightfully so, i dont expect him to be playing on a regular basis for quite a while..

Could it affect his pace ed?

{Ed025's Note - lets hope not eden its his prize asset, ACL injuries affect players in different ways, some recover fully while others tend to struggle, there is also the psychological problems of it as well as not having the confidence to extend yourself fully..

If you look at the way Theo has been acting on twitter and Instagram, he looks really positive and upbeat.

I'm pretty sure he said he was aiming to be available for Man City game but I think that will be way too soon. I reckon it'll be October before Theo plays again.

{Ed025's Note - even that may be a bit soon G95, rushing back could be the worst think he can do, but im sure the medical team know what they are doing mate..

I remember Wenger saying in an interview the biggest mistake he made as Arsenal manager was rushing Pires back from a long term injury. Having said that I doubt he'd make the same mistake with Theo, doubt we'll see him play before December.

{Ed025's Note - thats my opinion as well jack, it will obviously be reviewed on a week to week basis, but if he broke down again it could and his career mate..

I recall in March a prominent Dutch Orthopaedic Surgeon SKY that Theo would not be fit until December the signe seem to be supporting his prognosis
