Arsenal Down To Bare Bones in Defense; Blanc Calls Up Gunners for France

Wenger held his pre-match press conference today. Most of the information is not new, but rather just confirmed what most of us have been speculating. Vermaelen is out for the season and Djourou is out for at least six weeks. That means we really only have Kos and Squillaci for the run-in, plus Iggy, who I assume will be promoted to the first team bench, and Song, who really should only be used as a centreback in an emergency as his presence is sorely needed in the midfield.
