Petr Cech ruled out from Arsenal's next game due to injury

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger and his players seem to be suffering from a confidence issue after Arsenal were defeated 2-1 by Swansea City yesterday during the EPL mid-week game.

The also failed to bounce back from Sunday’s 3-2 defeat at Manchester United.

Wenger will be without Laurent Koscielny (calf) and Petr Cech (groin) for Saturday’s derby at Tottenham Hotspur. Koscielny did not play here while Cech appeared to pull up after going forward for a last-minute corner. “Cech had a little groin problem before the game and I think he struggled a bit,” Wenger said. “I don’t know how bad it is. He will not play on Saturday. Neither will Koscielny.”

Below is the interview from Arsene Wenger

on Petr Cech…

He struggled. He had a little groin problem before the game and I think he struggled a little bit tonight.

on his injury…
He will not play on Saturday.

on how big the setback is…
I trust Ospina completely.

on how serious Cech’s injury is…
I don’t know, we have to see. It’s a muscular problem, a calf problem and I don’t know how long he will be out for.

on Laurent Koscielny…
He has a calf problem as well. He will not play on Saturday.

on the title race… 
I don’t know. It is very difficult to say because everybody drops points. At the moment, I believe that we need to get back to positive results before we speak about the Championship which is at stake at the moment. It is very difficult as it is unpredictable. Manchester City lost, Tottenham lost. It is very difficult to predict what will happen in this league.
