Our injury situation is interesting. The long term injured players, Ospina, Debuchy, Ozil & Giroud all featured in the World Cup Finals, hence the post World Cup care at the club was not up to scratch. We now have Coquelin missing from tonight's squad & Abu Diaby continues to be absent from the first team squad. Koscielny, another World Cup casualty, has been played despite having an achilles complaint, that needed rest. If brought back to soon he may well require an operation. Currently, players are being played will little rest, such as Mertesacker & Chambers. Other players particularly the remaining defenders have little chance of rest before January when reinforcements can be brought in. Wenger must sort this problem out. He needs to look at the training regime, the tactical formation, the quality & balance of the squad and his ability to rotate players. It is no longer accpetable to consider our injuries unfortunate, they are a direct result of Wenger's policies. The medical team get blamed, but they are not responsible for the training methods, the formation used, the lack of defenders & rotation in the squad.

I have been thinking this for a long time. Good post!

Player management I feel has been below par for awhile now.
