UPDATE:
Arsenal defender Thomas Vermaelen did not suffer a broken leg during the Gunners' goalless draw at Aston Villa in the Premier League.
The 24-year-old, who has made a huge impact at the Emirates after his move from Ajax last year, limped off after 35 minutes.
But the Belgium international still may miss Arsenal's Premier League clash with Manchester United on Sunday.
"There is no fracture in Thomas' leg but his injury still has to be assessed. There is still a good chance he will not play on Sunday," Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger said.

Arsenal defender Thomas Vermaelen suffered a suspected broken leg during the goalless draw at Aston Villa in the Premier League on Wednesday.
The 24-year-old Belgiium international, who has made a huge impact at the Emirates after his move from Ajax Amsterdam last year, limped off after 35 minutes.
"His leg is numb, it might be a nerve, or it might be a fracture of the fibula, we hope not, but we will check it in the morning," Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger told Sky Sports.
i sold him earlier today anyway, just because of arsenal's tough upcoming schedule.

Consider this an opportunity. It sucks, trust me I know, I have him at his season opening price. But think of it as the game forcing you to play a defender with a double week as opposed to wishing to yourself that Arsenal play twice if nothing ever happened to Verm.

Even if Verm wasn't injured, I feel like it's time to let him go.
ReplyDeleteMy best pick for his replacement is McShane of Hull. Any other suggestions?
Thanks Josh. I guess this is something to monitor. It's a zero I can't take in my current race.
