 Adams out too.... and Dennis? by Rupe
on 8/5/02 at 09:42
this is story 324 of 603 in this topic to date
Tony Adams will miss tonight's match with a knee injury. This could be worse, at least we have a ready-made replacement in Martin Keown (in fact, one of Tone or Sol could well have been "rotated" out anyway).

Although the Arsenal.com preview suggests (as we did yesterday) that Wiltord would step in alongside Bergkamp up front, some sources (see eg Evening Standard) reckon that Dennis is to be rested for Kanu.

This will cause some doubts in the minds of Arsenal fans. Kanu has not been at his best this season, whereas Bergkamp has been on fire, and his linking up with Freddie Ljungberg has been crucial in recent league wins. But Kanu is thought by many to be a front-runner for a move away from Highbury this summer, so presumably he'll be particularly keen to impress if he does get to play again this season.

Incidentally, if we win the league Adams will get a medal, having now played in the requisite 10 games. Players who would miss out as things stand include Lee Dixon and Stuart Taylor. It would be a particular shame for these 2, as there's no guarantee that they'll be playing at all next season. In the past special dispensation has been granted to players without sufficient games, but there's no indication as yet that Arsenal would be applying for this.

Rupe adds...
Many thanks to everyone who wrote to correct the above. Apparently Dixon has now played in enough games to get a medal.

Also, later bulletins suggest that Bergkamp's absence would be due to a heel injury. Which is a relief because a fit Dennis being rested, with Henry out too, would surely suggest that Wenger was going as batty as Alex F**kuson.
