Nasri expected to make a comeback against the Reds
December 19, 2008
Samir Nasri, Arsenal Forward, is expected to make a comeback in the Gunners squad for facing Liverpool on Sunday at the Emirates Stadium.
Nasri has been out of action, since their 1-0 victory over Wigan for an ankle injury. According to Arsene Wenger, he is almost fit and may make a return against the Reds.
However, Toure is struggling with his fitness and almost certain to miss out this important game for the Gunners.
Wenger quoted on the club’s official website, ‘There’s 95 percent hope of seeing Nasri on the field against Liverpool. However, I feel that Toure may not make it for this crucial game.’
‘Nicklas Bendtner is also having a problem in his knees, which he injured during training.’
Meanwhile, Wenger was confident of seeing the teenage sensation, Jack Wilshere, in the same league as Dennis Bergkamp, if he keeps playing in the same manner.
When Wilshere came of the bench for Arsenal against Blackburn, he became the youngest Gunner to do so at the age of only 16. He scored his first goal for the senior side against Sheffield United in a Carling Cup game, where Arsenal went on to annihilate their opponents.
Now, Arsenal Boss has no doubt that midfielder, who joined the club at nine, has the attributes of becoming a hero for the fans in the future.
Wenger said, ‘I feel that he’ll end up being a central-midfielder, playing off the forward, a role that Bergkamp managed wonderfully for years.’
‘He is going to have tremendous power of penetrating the tightest of defenses. Don’t forget that he’s only 16 and still has so much of strength. He might even become the next big thing of the Premier League in the coming four years.’
