AZ Preview; Clichy Injured; RvP Speaks

Well, just as my preview for the first match against AZ announced a monthlong injury to Theo Walcott, I'm afraid I've got more bad injury news to report here.

Gael Clichy reportedly has a stress fracture in his back, and will be out for about a month. Two weeks of that month will be the international break, but he will, at the very least, miss league fixtures against Wolves and Chelsea and Champions League matches against AZ and Standard.
