Arsenal’s Thomas Vermaelen: His Achilles Heel Is His Achilles Heel
By Alan Duffy
Arsenal physio Colin “Shipman” Lewin has been at it again for Arsenal, with Belgian defender Thomas Vermaelen the victim this time around.
According to reports, the centre-half has been ruled out for two months after having yet another operation on his troublesome left heel. This latest injury blow comes after Jack Wilshere’s return to action was recently put back until December.
German giant Per Mertesacker was no doubt bought to partner Vermaelen in defence but will, instead, have to make do with Laurent Koscielny as his defensive chum for the near future.

That was brilliant :D
An Arsenal fan told me once there was actually an internal inquiry over the number of injuries and found nothing wrong.
I think I’d rather go to a hook-handed, illiterate doctor in Tijuana then be checked up by an Arsenal physio.
it’s actually the other leg this time. hopefully he wont be out as long as last time. pity mertesacker needed a few games with him, just to settle into the premier league.
Sucks for Mister Mertesacker. Koscielny generally fails.
WOW…are the Arsenal staff really that crap? Sack them all & bring in the local View Club aerobic instructors & Zulu witch doctors.
They need to buy some players with a decent injury record like Mikel.. oh bugger
