One is never quite sure what to make of the injury news that is carried on the pages of the official site although yesterday’s news that Alexander Hleb is unlikely feature against Newcastle is not that much of a surprise. His hamstring injury has recurred so the omens are not good. The seriousness of his injuries is subject to conjecture but it is reminiscent of the breakdown Henry suffered through returning too quickly last March. Arsene’s tone indicates it is not that bad although he is by all accounts an eternal optimist on the injury front. Added to that, the tackle from Carew was agricultural, excused by the feeble term of a forward’s challenge.
