Kolo Toure stretchered off the Africa Nations Cup


By 1970’s Gooner

Kolo Toure, moments after teeing up his brother,Yaya to score the Ivory Coast’s second goal on the 44th minute was stretchered off holding his groin.

The Ivory Coast went on to win the game comfortably with the impressive Drogba scoring the first goal in the 40th minute.


The Toure brothers combined for the second, with Kolo, in one of his last actions before going off, picking up the ball at the back post after Yaya had missed heading home a corner.

Kolo then showed great feet to control possession before sliding across a lovely low pass that his younger brother was able to tap into the net.

Drogba set up Dindane and also Keita for the third and fourth goals of the game.

It could have been many more goals scored for the Ivorians as Benin got a consolation goal.

Kolo’s injury will have to be assessed but if it is a mild groin strain then he will probably be out for two to three weeks.

If it is more serious then the recovery may take 6 weeks or longer.

The tournament lasts till the 10th of February which is only two weeks away giving Toure hardly enough time to recover.

In fact his participation in Arsenal’s game against Blackburn on the 11th of February and also nine days later against AC Milan in the Champions League is now doubtful.

Let us hope that his injury is not as serious as feared.

1st. and $h1t! I can't take more of Senderos at the back. Let's all wish him a speedy recovery. matter of fact, let's just pray.

New centre-half immediately or season over in March

lets hope Song has a good tournament at CB.

Senderos actually played quite well in in the last game he played. Before saying he's rubbish at least admit that one point.

My heart sank watching Kolo stretchered off on the BBC highlights. Hopefully, it's just a slight pull and he'll be back and playing in no time. We all know he's certainly made of stern stuff.

Will Arsenal recall Kolo immediately so he can receive treatment here? One expects if it is serious, he'll be back shortly -- a terrible blow for him too since it looks like the Ivory Coast just might win the thing.

At least there's a week left before the transfer window closes so AW can make a move if he needs to. Looks like Song might be back soon if Cameroon goes out, but that might be a big ask if either Gallas or Senderos go down. I know it's wishful thinking, but it just strikes me as an ideal time for AW to make a big play for Micah Richards. Not only would he give us cover at the back, but possibly at DM too. Richards says that's the position he wants to eventually play -- and under AW's wing he'd probably be a right beast there too in afew years, as if someone pushed down on PV4 and made him shorter but broader -- and right now, I'm not sure if I'm more worried about Gallas going down or Flamini.

At any rate, get well soon, Kolo. You're in every Gooner's thoughts.

What is is with Britain and its crisises? Every little thing is suddenly a massive problem. Song has been great at CB as has Senderos with Gallas. Toure may be out for an extra 1-3 weeks. Calm down you lot

another set of internationals....more injuries. first henry last year,then van persie, now toure....

btw, im ashamed of those who cant seem to give credit to senderos when he deserves it. ok he does have the occasional bad game till he gets a run of games, but one cant keep critcising him all that much...he has played well in the past, and he has played well too lately, and for switzerland too.

If the admin could get in touch with me; I am looking to see if this site would like to express an interest in a development being made with all major Arsenal blogs.

I can be contacted on my email, which is available at http://thirdgen.wordpress.com. Could not find any contact details on the site, would have emailed direct if that were the case. A quick query by email so I can contact you later will be fine.

Me thinks a move for woodgate would not be a bad idea

Anonymous said...

Woodgate you must be joking, whilst he is a very good defender he is also very injury prone.

Anonymous said...

We should stick to what we've got. Senderos had a decent game last time out. And don't forget the run he put in two seasons ago where we did not concede in CL for ten or so games.

DONT PANIC
