7 months :| Wow, I heard someone say 5-6 weeks, still not sure.

 

[Chris]

Yeah it said 7 months on SSN. I doubt it'll be as bad as that in the end. Probably 2-4 months.

there goes the title hunt =[

 

[Scott]

i heard, if it is ligaments, like thought, rest of season and possibly world cup. but if it is just twisted or fractured, it will be 2-3months

 

[GUNNER500]

think it meens several months not seven months, probley back jan/feb 2010! time for eduardo to shine!

 

[leeumoconnor69]

this is why we wont win the title this year and didnt last year, last year van p had no eduardo and so had to play up top alone of with bendtner, when eduardo and van p play together we are so much better up top, i hope honestly if van p is out for a long time wenger invests in a striker in the january window.

I still think Arsenal will challenge, Arshavin can bang in the goals and Eduardo is a great striker. Arsenal may buy an extra striker in January now, possibly that Chamakh guy?
