Arsenal, Adebayor: Injuries cost us

Emmanuel Adebayor insists Arsenal could have mounted a serious assault on the Premier League title had injuries not crippled Arsene Wenger’s squad.

“Most of our players have been injured. We have missed Eduardo for several months, Tomas Rosicky for about a year, Theo Walcott for three or four months, Cesc Fabregas for almost six months and I have also been injured for two or three weeks,” he told Fifa’s official website.

“If Manchester United had to do without Ronaldo, Rooney, Giggs, Berbatov and Nani, they would not have the same team as they have now – they would not be winning every game.
