Gilberto will play in Sparta Prague
October 17, 2005
Talking about the Sparta Prague game, Arsene Wenger said: “It’s very difficult to accept as maybe Gilberto is the only one who will come back”.
Gilberto will replace Flamini, who played in the 2-1 defeat to West Bromwich Albion at the weekend.
It’s good news that Gilberto got back from the Brasil Selecao without injury – though a shame he had to sit and watch Arsenal lose.
Gilberto will no doubt bring Arsenal back to their winning ways – but without Sol Campbell, Thierry Henry, Ashley Cole, Freddie Ljungberg, Robin van Persie, Alexander Hleb or Dennis Bergkamp, it will definitely be a hard task.
Wenger went on to say “Twice now after the international break we have paid a heavy price in terms of injuries”.
Thankfully, this time he wasn’t talking about Gilberto!
