Injury setback for Gunners
Arsenal’s outside chance of landing the EPL title suffered a setback on Thursday with the news of an injury to inspirational defender William Gallas. According to reports, the 32-year-old broke down in training and is out of Saturday’s trip to Stoke. Gunners boss Arsene Wenger admits that he does not know when the Frenchman will return. “Gallas has had a recurrence of his calf injury. He tried hard on Monday and Tuesday but on Tuesday he had a little problem again. We will have to assess that.” Veteran Sol Campbell is set to partner Thomas Vermaelen at Stoke as Arsenal desperately try to close the gap on title rivals Manchester United and leaders Chelsea. Also out are Andrey Arshavin and Abou Diaby Fit-again Eduardo has returned to training and could be in the squad for Stoke.
