The latest Declan Rice injury update has Arsenal fans furious with Thomas Tuchel

Arsenal star and Ballon d'Or candidate Declan Rice is a crucial player for the England national team at the base of the midfield, just as he is for the Gunners, but the fans of the Premier League champions now have reason to worry. England national team manager Thomas Tuchel, who used to manage rivals Chelsea to Champions League success, has drawn the ire of the supporters after revealing that Rice is a ton of pain right now. Tuchel said of Rice, via afcstuff, “I asked him. He said, ‘I can do it for the team, but I am in terrible pain’. When Declan tells you he is in terrible pain, then you know he cannot take it anymore. There is no injury, it’s more neural pain.” Arsenal fans will have questions about what exactly Thomas Tuchel means by Declan Rice being in "neural pain", but a...

The latest William Saliba injury update is exactly what Arsenal fans dreaded

Arsenal star William Saliba is one of the best center backs in the world and alongside partner Gabriel Magalhaes a real center piece for the reigning Premier League champions. But Arsenal have a fresh injury concern on Saliba, as Simon Jones of the Daily Mail reports, via afcstuff, that there are serious concerns regarding the Frenchman's long term fitness in North London owing to a chronic back injury. Therefore, Arsenal may be investing again in the center back position this summer even after adding two great players in Piero Hincapie and Cristhian Mosquera to an already star studded bunch including Ben White, Riccardo Calafiori, and Gabriel. Mikel Arteta and Arsenal already have Aston Villa and England national team standout Ezri Konsa on their radar, and depending on how they ...

Reece James just offered injury update England fans needed to hear

England national team star right back Reece James is more important than ever after Thomas Tuchel, his former manager when Chelsea won the Champions League in 2021, snubbed Real Madrid superstar Trent Alexander-Arnold from his squad. James has been out since the last game of the World Cup group stage, a 2-0 win over Panama, after suffering a hamstring injury against Ghana in the second match, which was a 0-0 draw. England clearly missed him in the Round of 32 against DR Congo, as the underdogs, led by striker Yoane Wissa of Newcastle United, very nearly pulled off an upset before Harry Kane stepped in with a clutch brace. The good news is that James could be back for the Round of 16 against hosts Mexico, who have been on fire. Per David Ornstein of The Athletic, Reece James provid...

Kylian Mbappe destroyed an insulting injury conspiracy

Real Madrid superstar Kylian Mbappe had to miss several games with a left knee injury that had been acting up. He was initially trying to play through the pain, but Madrid and doctors thought it would be best for the French superstar to shut things down and heal instead of making things worse. He returned against Atletico Madrid in a 3-2 El Derbi win, looking quite spry off the bench for the Merengeus. It is questionable if he will play for the French national team during this March international break, but Mbappe looks ready to make a difference for the Royal Whites when play resumes in April. Unfortunately, as with anything relating to Mbappe, there are always conspiracies and rumors abound, and one of them is that Mbappe has been trying to take games off in order to save himself f...

Eberechi Eze offers injury update after Arsenal vs. Bayer Leverkusen

Arsenal's new star midfielder Eberechi Eze has slowly but surely been showing a higher level to his game on and off the ball, and he was the one who pushed the Gunners ahead at home in the second leg of the Champions League Round of 16 vs. Bayer Leverkusen with a smashing volley. Eze reminded the world of his top notch ball striking with that thunderous hit, blasting the ball with venom, as if he were taking out his frustrations while being one of the few Arsenal players brave enough to go for a tough goal rather than pass laterally. It was a huge game for Eze, who has been a bit inconsistent in his first season at the Emirates. The momentum is on his side now, though Arsenal fans were briefly scared that it had been arrested by injury when they watched him hobble off in the second h...

Mikel Arteta offers a tidbit of great Martin Odegaard injury news

Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard has been missed badly due to continued knee problems, which are a chronic issue for him and have most recently kept him out for several games since the end of February. Although Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta confirmed the blow that Odegaard will miss the decisive second leg of the Champions League Round of 16 against German upstarts Bayer Leverkusen on Tuesday night, he did have some better news on the Norwegian superstar. Arteta told reporters at the press conference before Leverkusen, via AFC Xtra, “Martin Ødegaard is pushing hard to be ready for the Carabao Cup final on Sunday." That is massive, massive news for Arsenal is Odegaard can be out there on Sunday for the League Cup Final against Manchester City, who are also their top Premier League ti...

Mikel Arteta confirms two brutal Arsenal injury news updates vs. Bayer Leverkusen

Arsenal are set to battle Bayer Leverkusen in the second leg of the Champions League Round of 16 on Tuesday night at the Emirates after a poor performance in the first leg in which they drew in Germany 1-1. It will not get any easier for the Gunners either, as manager Mikel Arteta confirmed to reporters at the press conference before the game, via Sam C, that both captain Martin Odegaard and starting right back Jurrien Timber will be out. Odegaard has been slowed by injuries all season and has not played since facing Tottenham Hotspur in late February for about 13 minutes. He is a huge miss for Arsenal, as the team are not as confident or creative in possession without his presence between the lines. Hopefully, he can return soon. But on form, Timber is arguably a bigger loss. He ...

Chelsea get horrendous Reece James injury news

Chelsea are reeling after tough losses to two quality opponents in important games, first falling 5-2 to PSG in the Champions League Round of 16 first leg before getting blanketed 1-0 by Newcastle in a putrid Premier League display. Now, things are getting even worse for the Blues on the injury front, as Simon Johnson of The Athletic reports that veteran right back (and center midfielder) Reece James suffered a hamstring injury against the Magpies and will reportedly have to miss several weeks. That means James is obviously out for the crucial second leg against PSG, almost dooming the Blues to an early Champions League exit. But he could also miss games against Manchester City and Manchester United if his absence extends far enough into April. Malo Gusto is one of the best right ...

Real Madrid get tremendous Alvaro Carreras injury news

Real Madrid are gearing up for the second leg of the Champions League Round of 16 against new rivals Manchester City, holding a 3-0 lead on aggregate after an insane hat trick from center midfielder Fede Valverde. Ferland Mendy put in a great shift at left back with Alvaro Carreras still out injured, but the Frenchman himself suffered yet another injury in the result, taking him out of the Elche game, which Fran Garcia ably started. But Fran won't have to be stressed about getting exposed by a tougher Man City side, as COPE journalist Miguel Angel Diaz reports that the new signing and main starter Alvaro is expected to be ready for the Man City match. If he is in good shape, Alvaro is almost certain to start. He has been a massive upgrade offensively over Mendy and defensively ove...

Real Madrid lose another defender for Manchester City clash

Real Madrid center back Raul Asencio survived a cervical injury scare against Benfica in the Champions League, but he has been out since March 7 against Celta Vigo with a muscular overload. Asencio was thus held out of the first leg of the Champions League Round of 16 against Manchester City, as well as the last La Liga encounter over the weekend against Elche. Now, ESPN's Rodra reports that Asencio will be out of the second leg of the Champions League Round of 16 as well. That makes the defense that much thinner going up against Erling Haaland, with Eder Militao still likely out. Real have been hit hard again by injuries this season, especially in defense. Hopefully, Asencio will be ready for the Atletico Madrid clash, but it is better to avoid aggravation than rush the young cen...
