Highbury, Saturday 11th November 2000
FA Carling Premiership
Full report(s) to follow. Meanwhile see this newsreel piece and the list of links to reports on other sites, below.
Preview
- Arsenal team news
David Seaman and Tony Adams are expected to return to
the side after injuries. Silvinho is also believed to have recovered
from the knock that kept him out of the last 2 games, and Vieira
also returns to the side.
update Friday:
Not good news, David Seaman has picked up another injury and it's said
he could be missing for another 3 weeks. Dave's over the shoulder injury, but has
now sprained an ankle in training.
Alex Manninger is still
not back from his knee ligament problem, also dragging on, so it's
young John Lukic between the sticks again. The doctor has cleared Alex to play,
but the player feesl he's not regained enough fitness as yet.
Tony Adams has also suffered a setback, he hurt his thigh against
Boro and could also be out for 3 weeks. Note that Tone and Dave are likely
to both
miss the start of the second stage of the Champs League. Lauren aggravated a knee
problem against Shakhtar, and
Pires is still out with his hamstring. So far it looks like Vieira
and Grimandi will at least be returning to the midfield. Upson
may get the nod as Admas' replacement, continuing his rehabilitation from
that lengthy absence.
- Derby_County team news
Rams' skipper Daryll Powell is also fit and available.
There were doubts after he picked up a slight leg injury, limping off
at half-time in the 0-0 draw at West Ham. Given that keeping a clean
sheet against another bottm-of-the-table side was a result worthy of
celebration in Derby, anything other than a convincing Arsenal win
on Saturday will be somewhat disappointing.
Derby have striker Branko Strupar out having had a hernia op.
Argentine defender Horation Carbonari had a similar op in the summer,
missing their first 5 Premiership matches. When he did return he got
sent off in successive games and then had an ankle injury. So the
West Ham game was only his 4th start of the season ("only"?? sounds
like he's done well to get that many!).
