Wenger: Stoke deliberately injured my players

ARSENAL manager Arsene Wenger yesterday accused Stoke defenders Rory Delap and Ryan Shawcross of deliberately injuring Theo Walcott and Emmanuel Adebayor.

Both were hurt by tackles during the Potters’ 2-1 win at the Britannia Stadium on Saturday and will miss tonight’s Champions League clash against Fenerbahce at the Emirates Stadium.

Walcott has a chance of recovering from a shoulder injury in time for the visit of Manchester United on Saturday but Adebayor is unlikely to be able to face the champions.
