This is so Arsenal… (Picture: Getty)

Arsenal look like they’ll have to fend off yet another injury crisis if they want to win the Premier League this season.

Arsenal being Arsenal, something was always bound to go wrong in their pursuit of a first league championship since 2003-04.

They’ve already made things hard for themselves by completing losing their form and bottle in the past few weeks, and they once again appear to be on the cusp of an injury crisis.

The Gunners lost Per Mertesacker and Gabriel to injury during their FA Cup clash with Hull on Tuesday night, leaving them with no fit centre-backs given that Laurent Koscielny was already out.


Mertesacker was also forced off with a head injury (Picture: Getty)

To add insult to injury, makeshift centre-back Aaron Ramsey also went off with a problem just a matter of minutes after he’d replaced the injured Gabriel.



Mertesacker and Koscielny will likely manage to return soon given that their injuries are relatively minor, but Gabriel’s looks like a muscle problem, and Gooners are convinced that another curse has been placed upon them…

We won't get rid of this injury curse until we burn everything that Abou Diaby has touched at the club. — Joe (@RedAndWhite11) March 8, 2016
