Wenger woe as Adebayor injury cuts Gunners’ arsenal

ARSENAL will be without striker Emmanuel Adebayor for the trip to Sheffield United on Saturday. The in-form Togo striker picked up a thigh strain during the final stages of the 2-1 win at Watford.

With captain Thierry Henry still sidelined because of a problem with his sciatic nerve, manager Arsene Wenger is already short in attack.

The hamstring problem suffered by defender Johan Djourou at Vicarage Road is, however, not considered too serious. Wenger said: “Djourou is injured a little bit, but what is worse that we lost Adebayor with a thigh strain. It is exactly the same but on the other leg. He will be out for Saturday.”
