Arsenal sweat on Flamini’s fitness - 20 Nov 2007
Arsenal star Mathieu Flamini has suffered an injury and did not take part in Les Bleus’ last training session.
The Gunners’ manager Arsene Wenger will now be waiting for news on his midfielder’s fitness.
'The French Gattuso', as he is dubbed by his team-mates, has been a key player for the London side this season, and relegated former vice-captain Gilberto to the substitute bench with his form.
Flamini made his international debut last Friday in the 2-2 draw against Morocco at Stade de France, appearing for the nine last minutes of the game.
Les Bleus manager Raymond Domenech has revealed that the midfielder and Lilian Thuram did not take part of Sunday’s training session.
Experienced Thuram has been rested, whereas Flamini 'suffered a little something', Domenech said without explaining the extent of his injury.
Arsene Wenger is already without midfielder Cesc Fabregas for The Premier League clash with Wigan at the weekend due to suspension, and could also lose another starter.
Lassana Diarra and Gilberto could be called in by Wenger, as Abou Diaby also injured himself with the France Under-21 team. |
