Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger says Aaron Ramsey could be out until November and suggested that playing for Wales contributed to his hamstring injury.


22/10/2015

Ramsey came off during Arsenal's 2-0 Champions League win over Bayern Munich on 20 October, having played 90 minutes against Watford on 17 October.

The midfielder played in Wales' Euro qualifier with Andorra on 13 October.

"The fact that he played against Andorra certainly cost Gareth Bale and him [Ramsey] as well," Wenger said.

Wenger, speaking to the Arsenal website, said that he expects Ramsey to be out for some time and could miss Wales' friendly with the Netherlands on 13 November.

"He had a scan today but he's out. I believe he will be out until after the next international break," Wenger added.

If Ramsey's problem is as serious as feared, the 24-year-old will also miss Premier League games against Everton, Swansea and Tottenham, the League Cup fourth-round game at Sheffield Wednesday and the return Champions League match at Bayern Munich.

Wenger had previously confirmed that Ramsey would miss Saturday's game at home to Everton.

"He's very down, he told me that the hamstring is a tough one. He's out yes," Wenger had said.

Ramsey's fellow Wales star Bale has been troubled by a left calf injury for some time.

He came off in the La Liga win against Levante at the weekend and sat out Real Madrid's Champions League 0-0 draw at Paris St-Germain on Wednesday.

Ramsey's career has been blighted by hamstring injuries and the 24-year-old was sidelined on three separate occasions during the 2014-15 season.

Former Wales and Netherlands assistant coach Raymond Verheijen said he believes that the Arsenal squad is prone to injuries.

"You have to look at it from a broader perspective," he told BBC Wales Sport.

"If you analyse the situation at Arsenal, you see there is this group of young players like Theo Walcott, Jack Wilshere, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain - Bacary Sagna and Robin van Persie when they were there - Aaron Ramsey and now also Danny Welbeck.

"These are players who, every year, are out for numerous weeks or months and that is a big concern.

"There are six or seven players at Arsenal who are consistently injured for weeks or months every season.

"It tells you something is going wrong at Arsenal in terms of over-training these young players. As a result, their bodies are breaking down.

"If you want to know what exactly is going wrong, you have to be there every day to see what they do.

"From the outside, you can only draw the conclusion something is going wrong."

What a dick.

Ramsey played 90 minutes against Watford on the weekend and has been back training with Arsenal since before then.

If anything he's being overplayed by Wenger for Arsenal and that contributed to his hamstring injury rather than playing for Wales.

Knobhead.

You don't hear the same complaint from Real Madrid about Gareth Bale. Time for Arsenal to look at their own training methods.

If ramsey wanted to be rested for the Andorra game he wouldn't have played. Wenger needs to stop blaming everyone else. No coincidence the Arsenal team always have lots of injuries.

What difference does it make if Andorra game was pointless, what if it had been an important game for Wales? He played get over it.
