Arsenals players in Euro 2008

Arsenals players in Euro 2008

1. Jens Lehmann – Although out of favour with Arsenal, Jens will be favourite to start between the sticks for Germany. The bookmakers have Germany as 4-1 favourites to win the full tournament. Its easy to see why, with almost a home advantage with playing their football games in Austria, as well as an easy group stage start.

2. Cesc Fabregas – The hugely influental midfielder will be gauranteed a starting slot in Spains midfield as they open their tournament campaign against Russia. Spain are rightly set as second favourites to lift the trophy.

3. Philippe Senderos – The popular defender will feel right at home in this tournament – he’ll be playing for the home nation, Switzerland. In an excellent performance in the 2006 World Cup, Senderos scored the goal to send them through to the knock-out stages.

4. Lukasz Fabianski – Barring injury to Artur Boruc, young Lukasz will most likely spend this tournament on the bench. It will be valuable experience though for the keeper widely tipped to take over from Boruc in the coming years.

5. William Gallas – The towering defender will take his position at the back for France, and will consider his team to be in with the best chance of Victory.

6. Robin Van Persie – The skillful Dutch forward will be looking to score yet more important goals in the “group of death” against Italy, Romania and France.

Lets wish all of our players a safe and successfull Euro 2008!

Eduardo trying to look past the incident

The arsenals latest news is that the forward Eduardo, who struck a really unfortunate inquiry with the team’s game against Birmingham, wants to look past the incident. He says that he doesn’t remember much about the inquiry and nor does he want to be reminded. It was dreadful enough to see his foot twisted and does not want to focus on what else happened.

The Croatian International is still trying to keep his chin up. The team’ s official site reported him as saying, “I am unsure at the moment of the extent of the injury and how long I will be out of action for but I know that I won’t be able to play for Arsenal for the rest of the season or be ready in time for the Euros this summer. But I’m not worried about that. My concentration and determination is on making as quick a recovery as possible. I am determined to overcome this injury.”

The word also has it that the arsenal management is trying to get the videos removed from the internet. Eduardo had his bones broken from nine places, and I don’t doubt it looking at the pictures and the expressions of the players at the game.

He is not expected to back for another nine months, he will miss the rest of the season, euro cup and maybe even the Croatia’s qualification games for the World Cup. I wish Eduardo all the best and I for one cannot wait for him to get back in action. Stay posted for latest news on Eduardo.
