Possible broken leg for Vermaelen...

The Belgian was taken off, and replaced by Sol Campbell.

Arsene Wenger said after the game: "We will have to check the X-ray tomorrow morning because there is a fear - it's a nerve that is numb or it is fracture of his fibula - we hope not but we will have to check."

Eduardo also suffered a hamstring injury and will also miss games... let's just hope Bendtner hits the ground running and provides some sort of goal threat, otherwise our failure (so far) to dip into the transfer market might cost us dearly.
