Song knee ligament damage confirmed
Arsene Wenger has confirmed that Arsenal midfielder Alexandre Song injured medial knee ligaments in last night’s victory over Liverpool.
The Cameroon international, who spent January on international duty at the African Cup of Nations, has been an important player at the heart of the Gunners side this side and has earned plaudits for his all-round improvement.
Speaking to Arsenal TV Online, coach Wenger revealed:
“Unfortunately we have lost Alex Song with a medial knee ligament problem.
“I hope he will be available for next week but it is not for sure. Arshavin looks to be a hamstring problem. We have to assess that too.
“Nasri got an elbow in his face and he felt unwell. But that is no problem. He will be available.
“So the questions marks will be about Arshavin and Song. We’ll know more tomorrow. Arshavin has a scan today and Alex Song has come in for treatment. He is very sore today so we’ll have to see how he responds.â€
Arsenal beat Liverpool last night to strengthen their hold on third place in the Premier League and still maintain an outside chance of winning the title after close rivals Manchester United and Chelsea both dropped points at Aston Villa and Everton respectively.
