How often have we heard the same story of Arsenal having played excellently well in the first half of the season, losing a key player in December / January and consequently their whole season collapsing? Last time around it was Mesut Ozil and Aaron Ramsey, this time around its Santi Cazorla.
With Jack Wilshere the only exception – given he's got bow feet – plenty of Arsenal stars suffer from small niggles here and there greatly affecting the outcome of their season. Danny Welbeck, Alexis Sanchez, Aaron Ramsey, Santi Cazorla, Laurent Koscielny, Gabriel, Francis Coquelin, Theo Walcott and Olivier Giroud have all suffered injuries this season and is possibly why their legitimate title challenge waned come the beginning of the new year.
While specialists like Shad Forsythe were reruited to make sure these niggles didn't happen as often, things haven't improved. Maybe he needs more time, maybe Arsenal's players are – unfortunately – born fragile but whatever the reason, the club has to learn to ensure the first team is injury free for a whole season.
