Debuchy could spend the next months recovering after Stoke’s Marko Arnautovic literally pushed the Frenchman into a new injury. The 29 year old is suspected of having deeper issues with his shoulder which may lead to a surgical intervention. If that is the case, Arsenal will not be able to use Debuchy for the next three months which is quite the problem. The right back has already spent 84 days off the pitch due to an ankle ligament rupture and will definitely have trouble coming back before the end of the season. According to the Telegraph, there is still hope that the injury sustained to his shoulder is not that complicated to handle. The Gunners are waiting for a thorough analysis to see if the newly transferred defender will be able to continue playing.

Unfortunately for Wenger, things are not getting better. He was hoping that most of the injured players will return and be able to perform when the Champions League will be underway. It will not be the case as health problems keep emerging at an alarming rate. Even though it was not a self-inflicted injury, Debuchy’s accident is still added to the infinite list of injuries The Gunners have to deal with. It will be hard for Arsenal to find players who are up for taking on the task of helping Szczesny from conceding any goals. During the summer, they struggled to find players willing and able to perform at the Emirates. The January transfer window will be twice as hard to manage, with few footballers planning on leaving their teams.
