Arsenal’s annual injury crisis is in full swing, with Francis Coquelin the latest to fall foul of the club’s curse.
Arsene Wenger confirmed the Frenchman would be out for “at least two months” as his side look ahead to their crucial Champions League tie with Dinamo Zagreb.
Coquelin out for "at least two months" said Wenger. "We have had so many bad surprises on the scans, so I don't want to speculate more."

If you’ve spent any amount of time online, then you can guess what came next. The Arsenal fans are not known for their calmness, and quickly took to Twitter to vent their frustration at the latest in a long line of injuries.

I wonder how we'll cope without Coquelin. I fear any title hope now is just a dream. Gambling on his fitness is one of AWs worst acts.

Imagine somebody told you on 23rd November, 2014 that an injury to Francis Coquelin one year hence would cause so much angst!

Of course such frequent injury crises take their toll on fans’ psyche, and some seemed to be slowly losing touch with reality…
