Arsenal Pair Vermaelen And Koscielny Out Until Next Year

By Chris Wright

Arsenal have confirmed that defender Thomas Vermaelen will remain sidelined until January at the earliest with an Achilles injury that was supposed to keep him out for a week or so back in November.

Manager Arsene Wenger told the club’s official site:

“Vermaelen is in a [protective] boot. We want him back and I hope he will be back soon, but not before January.”

Wenger also revealed that Vermaelen’s stand-in, £8.5-million summer signing Laurent Koscielny, is also set to miss the rest of 2010 after suffering severe concussion during Saturday’s 2-1 win over Fulham:

‘The medical team inform me that [Koscielny] has picked up concussion and could be out for three weeks.”

Bum.
