There's far too many for it to be down to bad luck. I'm surprised none of our former players have come out and criticised our training methods
The injuries are so often and so numerous that it cannot be just bad luck... the leg / ankle breaks aside, the amount of soft tissue injuries Arsenal get is astounding.
I dont watch them train or have any knowledge of how it works, but a root and branch report is needed to get to the bottom of this ASAP.
I think that it is a combination of the following:
1) Poor training methods
2)Pitches which are a mix of real grass and 3G. They may look nice and last well but I think that they may actually cause muscle injuries.
3) Medical staff . Poor at diagnosing injuries and fixing them. Why let Kos play on with concussion v Leicester or Ozil with his injury v Chelsea?
4) The type of player we buy. Many are small and/or slight of build and probably just more injury prone.
The fact is that we have had this problem for years and Wenger is too lazy and incompetent to do anything about it. The sooner he leaves the better.
Even with full strength side during the start of the season Arsenal was struggling..with no excuse..I wonder Wenger gives player time off or plays some sort of sick deceiving game on purpose to lessen the heat.
It's not bad luck. Look at Ozil, in his entire career, he was injured for a total of something like 6 weeks yet since he's joined Arsenal, he's probably missed more games than he's played for us.
Too many to be a coincidence. I think I counted something seventeen soft tissue injuries this season the other week. Its not christmas yet. Same thing last year, and the year before that and so on and so on.

Since the summer of 2013 we have had injuries to 100 different players
Arsenal players get a lot of muscle related injuries, must be the lack of strength work, players have muscular imbalances
To be honest, it's the final sentance that annoys me the most - it kind of sums up Arsenal's approach to the media and their own fans.
I think it was Clichy who said there was a definite difference in training sessions at City.
Yesterday towards the end of the match, Ox signaled to the bench that he could feel his groin injury again. After that, he sprinted to close down the Liverpool keeper and when we were defending a corner, he sprinted to close down a Liverpool player the ball was cleared to. Then finally we was subbed off. I was thinking at the time, what the fack is he sprinting for, he is gonna make things worse. And why haven't we taken him off yet when we still have 2 subs left? I just can't see something like that happening at any other club.
"What it really comes down to is whether you think the massive injuries we suffer are Wenger's fault or just bad luck. An Arsenal side that gets as much injuries as most other teams do would be decent, no matter Wenger's other failings. So who's to blame?"
You could scrap every other article that has been written in the last few months and just replace it with this. All this talk and hyperbole when really all of it means nothing. This is the main issue right here.
